Overwhelmed

     It happened again! I spent the better part of Memorial Day weekend on my studies, and was becoming increasingly alarmed. I am experiencing that familiar feeling of being overwhelmed again due to the volume of work I have to do. How will I manage the rest of the semester when there are no more three day weekends? I decided to reread the course syllabus on Tuesday, and came to the realization that I have misinterpreted it again! I did two weeks worth of assignments last weekend instead of one. Whew! What a relief! On a positive note, I am a little ahead of schedule. That’s a real perk considering the class is just 5 weeks in duration. I am confident that I will interpret the course syllabus accurately the 4th time around. You know the old saying: if at first you don't succeed... get one of your children to help you!
     I spent all of this afternoon doing homework: I watched “The Graduate” & “Shane”. Now this is my kind of homework! They should have invented this concept a long time ago! 
     I was discussing my fall schedule with a friend, and I indicated to her that I will be studying biology. “Ooh”, she replied, “will you be required to do any dissecting?”   “I sure hope not. The course is “human biology”.

Oddly enough they give medical students fetal pigs to dissect. Seems that many of their parts are human-like. Here's to hoping you have no pigs in your future. Four-legged or two ;)
