Lions and Tigers and Upper Level Distribution- OH MY!

Yellow… Scott here… feeling a little weird today. Things didn't go GREAT, but they did get better as the day went on. I had a hard time adding a class today but I finally came back to my room and found one I could add online… so that made me happy. The only problem is that I missed the first class because I didn't find out it was available till after the class met… so we’ll see how that goes. I need it to graduate. I hate how this university makes you take upper level distribution classes but makes it so hard to get in any. I played racquetball with Dobbs today for about 10 minutes before we got kicked off by some people who had the court reserved. I went and asked if we could reserve a court sometime, and they said they were booked till the end of the night! Those jerks! I was planning on just playing racquetball and then Frisbee for my exercise today, but with my first option having been taken away from me, I decided to go run 5.5 miles before Frisbee. I came back to my room, made some “stove top” stuffing and ate that… I then went directly to Frisbee and as soon as I jumped over the fence to get to the track field, I knew I would be totally useless. The fastest I could go was about half my normal top speed. I played for about an hour and decided that I wasn’t really contributing in any significant way so I just came back to the room and here I am! I’m going to go ahead and get on top of things and do my homework… I don't have the luxury of getting behind in ANY of my classes because well… taking 19 hours is just kind of like that. I’m really scared that the combination of second semester organic and second semester biochemistry is going to destroy me. You should see the reaction I get when I tell people in my major who know how hard each of those classes is that I’m taking both of them at the same time. I think I can handle it. I miss Mandy, and she is really busy with a lot of stuff so I don't really get to talk to her much this week… but luckily we have this coming weekend. I can already tell that doing the long distance thing is not going to be any easier than I had thought it would be… and I had hoped that I had overestimated the difficulty. I do think things are fine and I have high hopes, so don't think I’m going to let 160 miles get the best of me. Ok I’m going to do some reading for my sociology class… later… baby.
