So the first week is over….

2006-09-04

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Okay…

Only quick updates for everyone because my brain is already imploding from all of the stress. My internet doesn’t get hooked up until the 14th so I don’t have much time.

My first week of school is over – The bad news – I am already 4 chapters behind in Physiology (but at least I understand what we’re doing… past TAing experience apparently has some uses!), I have no idea what we’re doing in BChem (so have no idea how many chapters behind I am – but I remember why I hated it the first time I took it!) and I have two assignments due this week and an exam. The good news – I rock at Anatomy (so far) and Herd Management (what a name for a course eh?). Histo seems okay so far and my survey of vet med class seems kind of cool. The profs seem nice and very supportive. They actually want everyone to finish their degree!!! We got froshed this week, which was an interesting experience – being dressed up like a baby and paraded around to various local establishments was not something I thought I would ever have to do after the age of 30. I am the second oldest person in my class – but about the average age for the class ahead of me – it really depends on what year you’re in what the age of the students are.

We got possession of our place on Friday and Jay was amazing – he did errands all week and got stuff ready so that there would be electricity, gas, a phone, a bank account, etc when we moved in. And then he didn’t leave until last night despite the fact that he goes back to school tomorrow (I miss him already!!!) just so he could help me unpack as much as possible. Despite all of that I think that I’ll be living out of boxes for the next couple of weeks at least. Which reminds me – I better go to the grocery store – all I have in the fridge is fruit and chocolate milk. 🙂  For those of you who are interested in keeping in touch via something other than email – the snail mail address is 2421 Cairns Av, Saskatoon, S7J 1V2… and message me for my phone number…

I think I hate banks… new thought. I am really having issues concentrating – my ADHDness has been worse than ever. Maybe that’s my issue in BChem. The Henderson-Hasselbach equation really does deserve my full concentration.

We also have a conditional sale on our place in Calgary. Keep your fingers crossed for us – I find out on Sept 8. The $240K wasn’t quite our asking – but I’m okay with it.

The route I took only took me 17 minutes to ride to school today (I’m here doing research for my papers on the holiday – we have keys to our building! I’m so important now!) and then it took me 10 minutes to lock up my bike. Sometimes I’m really ridiculous… you have to lock the bike to the rack Jasmine… okay now you have to lock your lock Jasmine…

Anyway – hope you’re all having a great day.

Lots of love – I’ll write more next weekend!
