I haven't written in a while. I haven't really been feeling well, I've been sick for the last week. I also had to take Peanut to the Vet because she had something wrong with her eye. I went to her regular Vet first and they referred me to an Ophthalmologist. Well, 450 bucks and five medications later I have a very unhappy kitty. They gave me two eye drops and two ointments for her eye and a lysine supplement. Needless to say, and I'm sure you can understand, she hates it. Whenever she sees me get up or come near her she runs away. =(
School starts on the 25th and I'm having a lot of anxiety about it. I'm not sure I'm ready for it...and usually if I'm not ready for something I fail miserably. I have to take a full load of classes(12 credits) for financial aid to help me out. I'm taking:
Intro to Biology(lecture and lab), Anatomy and Physiology(lecture and lab) Italian I American Lit II(not sure yet, but most likely)
I haven't actually been in school full time since the fall semester of '06...and there are many reasons why....mainly my S.A.
I started college in Fall '05 when I was actually feeling really good about myself. I had lost 60 pounds and I was ready to learn. I tried to get into the Vet Tech program but my High School Chemistry grade wasn't good enough. Then we realized my high school math grade wasn't good enough to get into the Chemistry class! Ok, fine. So I took the math class along with a few other classes and I did really well. I pulled a 3.6 GPA my first semester in college. Now for the Spring '06 semester I took my chemistry class. I thought everything would go ok but...it didn't. My chemistry class was in the science building and in the science building they have really small seats...heh. For a normal person that might be ok but..um...I'm not skinny...not even close. So I had lots of trouble fitting in the seats. I got lucky the first day because there was a regular desk in the classroom, so I used that one. Unfortunately others decided they liked that desk too and the next day it ended up not in the spot I left it......so...in front of the whole class of mostly kids who just came out of high school, I had to move that desk all the way across the room because I couldn't sit in the other desk. Well, this was just to embarrassing for me so I dropped the class. Shortly after that I dropped one of my other classes too. Fast forward to Fall '06, I took Chemistry again....and again I couldn't fit...and again, I just couldn't handle it so I dropped out once more. From that point on I was depressed so I didn't sign up for classes in Spring '07. I did manage to get Chemistry out of the way this summer only because the class was held in a different building and they had to good seats that fat people like me can fit in. I passed the class with a B+.
Then came Pittsburgh. Ah, Pittsburgh. I'll save that story for another blog entry.
Well, here we are now. I couldn't enroll in the Vet Tech program because it's mid year and they have no openings. So, I'm finishing up a few more classes that I'll need as pre-reqs anyway and hopefully I'll get in for the fall semester. Yea, anyway.....I'm nervous about this semester....I hope i can handle it....
