Week 1 Milestone

Well I've managed to get through my first week back at Cal Poly. I am not in my best condition though I must admit. For one, I am most definitely sick, but it's the kind where you can still keep going with that limp. Perhaps I should have just slept all of today. Not that I had a choice since I had to wake up at 7am to get ready for church sermons and such. But gone back to sleep...that would have been nice. Ah well. It was a good day. But I'm definitely not feeling any healthier. My throat is dry and constricted, I can't breathe, and my head kind of throbs. Ugh. But at least nothing hurts.

Anywho, enough about the bad stuff. Week one was great. I'm taking Programming Languages I, Software Requirements Capstone, Artificial Intelligence, and Ballroom Dancing. I'm highly considering dropping AI since I don't need it. Capstone is going to be awesome (we're working with Intuit), and PL is gonna kick my ass. Bring it! A note about Ballroom Dancing...I am the only Asian in the class (with the exception of the instructor herself), and I am by far the tallest girl in class. By at least two inches from the next tallest girl (there are maybe about 3 or 4 in this height range) and at least 6-8 inches from all the rest of the girls in class. It is ridiculous how tiny some of these girls are. Who knew?

I've also discovered something about myself. I always thought that I had a problem with dry lectures (who doesn't), but now I realize that I'm falling asleep in most of my lectures and have to try extremely hard to stay awake or keep my eyes from getting heavy. I'm not even talking about dry lectures. I was very engaged some of the lectures this week, but found myself getting heavy eye lids despite this until I started focusing on something completely different, like taking out my laptop and surfing the web (bad I know), or letting my thoughts wander into solving a problem outside of class or something. I have the hardest time staying focused...and when I am, I get heavy eyelids. I even get 7-8 hours of sleep a night, which is a big difference from previous years. I can't win!
