Yesterday I worked for the first time. At this point I don't even care anymore. The people are nice and even though it can be boring and tiring and hot, I'm making money. I enjoy participating in capitalism. I'll just suck it up. It could be so much worse.
Okay.
Then later was the interest meeting for crew. I don't even think I've mentioned it on here. The series of decisions that led me to join the novice crew this year are worthy of an entire post. I think I'll save it. It's a lot of meditations on identity, happiness, belonging, and self-worth. I know, you're thinking, "Gee, I can't even WAIT for THAT pick-me-up." But the fact of the matter is I'm excited. And I'm ready. If I'm going to do something, I'm really going to do it. Eloquent, right? This post is severely lacking.
Today was the first day of classes. First I had U.S. Politics. It's a really basic course, essentially the foundation of my major. I definitely see its worth, but that's not to say it's going to be incredibly intellectually stimulating. However, that void will most definitely be filled by my Political Justice class. I am already geeking out over it. I've written before about my Hermione Granger complex, and it was out of control in those two classes. I have to mentally restrain myself and think, "Let someone else speak, let someone else speak, other people have opinions too, SHUT UP!" Because apparently, I have an opinion about everything. Who knew? Probably my parents.
Oh, and also? My political justice professor was totally wearing a purple Hillary pant suit and white shoes. How could I NOT love that?
News Writing and Reporting is absolute insanity. I don't even know what to say. I read the syllabus and visions of future cry-fests over this class danced in front of my eyes.
I have my other two classes tomorrow...and every meeting possibly imaginable plus a sports physical scheduled AT THE EXACT SAME TIME! Let the balancing act begin! My planner is already feeling overused. But I can do it.
I got this, people. I got this.
(At least...I'm pretty sure?)
