Never An Idle Moment

     Well, I've finally started to catch my breath.  Classes started this past Thursday and suddenly summer camp turned into school.  As I'm expecting to graduate this year, fewer of my classes are electives.  In fact most are what you could call down-to-the-wire requirements.  Hence the science requirement that I'm taking, called "Biology - the Science of Life" AKA "We're Trying Very Hard Not to Be Intimidating".  

Why is this Zebra in the middle of a busy intersection?  Could it possibly have something to do with molecular biology?  

     Just because courses have started doesn't mean that the decisions are ending.  Right now I'm trying to decide whether I want to join CMU Singers or whether I want to simply stay in Men's Chorus.  Besides the science class and journalism, I'm also in History Theory and Methods I (which is going to be great by the way -- very few lectures and lots of discussion) and Modern China by correspondence.  Throw in Ultimate Frisbee, Men's Chorus, and being a youth leader at my church, volunteering at the Blaurock Cafe, hopefully going dancing every week, my student ambassador (this!) job, being on the Publications Committee, and being on the Grad Committee and you basically have my life.  Now that I write it down it does look like a lot.  There.  No CMU Singers for me. 

     This weekend itself has been really packed.  It's the first youth event of the year, and so we all went to Camp Arnes (which is incidentally where the CMU retreat will be in a week).  As youth retreats go, it was good -- really relaxed with lots of water polo and old friends.   It is very important for me to get off campus regularly.

     Getting back to school, I have just realized that I have NO idea where any of my textbooks are.  I bought them on Friday.  They are worth $250.  This is not good!  CMU people are usually pretty good at returning things, but my name wasn't even in these new books.  Urgh!

     Whatever.  I'm refreshed and ready for the week.  Bring it on!
