School starts a week from today. In the past I have always been very, very full of anxiety in the couple weeks before the start of the semester. Right now I am anxious...but in a different way. I wish school was starting today! This has been one boring summer! Raine came to visit twice...that was good...her second visit we went to the county fair...this was fun. Raine's visits have been the highlights of the summer. We have basically done nothing at all. No Bass lake this year, Diana started a new job at the end of April...so no time off to go do things...AND...an empty house 5 days a week. Of course there is also the money factor...never enough of it! Sooo...pretty much all I have been doing is reading, and little projects around the house. I have managed to stick with the most critical parts of the schedule I made...getting up, eating, some house work, and going to bed on time. However, I now have to re-adjust my schedule for school...getting up at 7 am won't work when my ride leaves at 6:45 am!

So this time next week I will be at school...probably not in class though, because my first Wednesday class is a lab, and they won't have lab before the first lecture. This will give me time to track down my Bio adviser though, since he is the instructor for that class/lab. Hopefully the rec center will be open, because I will have a very long time until my official first class...it starts at 2pm.

Today I am waiting for the mail to arrive...it's the earliest possible day for my financial aid check to arrive. If it comes today, I have several things I need to get for school...most notably...MY BOOKS!! I like to have them at least a few days before classes start, so I can get the first chapters read...if I know which book we are reading first when there's more than 1 book. Fortunately, there's only 1 Bio book. 1 of my other classes is taught by my Soc adviser, so I can email her and ask which book first. The other class, there is only two books...I may just skim the first chapter of each.

Anyway...I am bored...there's no one ever online anymore...I'm out of leisure reading material again...my house is pretty clean...laundry is done...my office isn't clean but I've already been working on it and needed a break. So...that's my current life in a nutshell!
