Taking classes during a normal semester is so much more time consuming and although I am technically taking a full load of summer classes; I have never been so bored before in all my days. I literally go to both of my classes for an hour each day and going that frequently is wonderful because it gives me something to do, but it also only requires me to do about half as much studying as I would normally do during a normal class load.
In my English class, we are reading plays by Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams. I absolutely love this class but I only have to read about one play every week and a half. If you've ever read a play, you'll know it only takes about two hours from start to finish. So...once again I'm left with very little to do. I know, I know, I could read ahead and I do. I already started the third play we were supposed to read before we started on the second play in class. My first test in this class is tomorrow and I will be studying tonight not only to make a good grade on the test, but believe it or not, also as a way to keep myself distracted and entertained. A girl can only watch so much TV before feeling like her brain is about to fall out.
Great news! All that studying I did on Sunday night for my Spanish test paid off big time! I got a 92 on my first test in that class and I deserved every point if I do say so myself! It was extremely hard and I studied my butt off! If any of you remember, I tried to take that class last fall and had to drop because I made a 69 on my first test in there. I think this test is proof that I had the absolute worst Spanish teacher of all time the first go round of this class and I am so glad I waited until I could concentrate better to take it!
I desperately need some suggestions of what to do with all this free time! I've been continually packing things up in my room (maybe when I get a little farther I'll post some before and after pictures)! Laying out is really and truly only fun if you have friends to hang out with and all of my friends are either taking classes or working all day so they just don't have as much time. I'll admit that the shopping bug has been bitting me lately, but I'm really trying to persuade myself to be a window shopper instead of actually buying lots of things I really don't need! I'm trying to be extremely careful about how much I eat versus how much I exercise. Trust me, a girl could get really fat just sitting around eating junk and watching TV all day and I don't want that to happen! I've been walking on the treadmill at my apartment clubhouse for the last two days for 45 mintues and it seems to be working because my legs were a little sore today!
Someone help me figure out what to do with all this free time I have during the week before I just go absolutely crazy and decide to drive home during the middle of the week! For heaven's sake, that would just be ridiculous!
