I haven't posted in a while so I guess it's time for a general update.

From June 1st - 25th I was TA'ing the summer session Human Physiology course. This kept me very busy! Summer session classes are so intense! 1 week of material every day...a midterm every Thursday and 2 lab practicals as well! It was fun...and a lot of physio "stuff" was really solidified for me because answering questions, explaining, trying to come up with examples and analogies, and of course, GRADING EXAMS...really keeps a person on their toes, and requires real understanding of the material. I think it was good for me.

My grades for the spring semester were good...3.914 GPA...that works out to 10 units of A and 4 units of A-. I am happy with this...and I did not freak out when a letter arrived from the Dean of Science and Technology...I already knew what it was, congratulations on making the Dean's list. After the Fall semester, I got the same letter and had some major anxiety before opening it...seems silly now, but it wasn't at the time.

Starting tomorrow, I have a written schedule for the rest of the summer. The counselor at school and I worked on a list f things for the schedule and then I put it together. The idea is that having a schedule will help me to not slide back into bad habits that cause decline in everything. I really don't do well with large amounts of unstructured time. The time is not completely structured, there are lots of spaces of free time...in fact, evenings are completely open from dinner to bed time. I also have a list of things that I can do for fun, to pick from for the open times. What I scheduled were some pretty basic things...times I need to get up, eating, exercise, houshold chores, regular appointments, and bedtime. All but the regular appointments are things that can quickly become an issue for me...so hopefully this helps.

I hope everyone is enjoying summer.
