Classes at UMBC start on Tuesday. I moved back down this past Wednesday, and two of my three roommates arrived yesterday. The other space is currently empty but will probably be filled in the next couple of days. Lia is great, I can tell that we have similar priorities and will get along just fine. I'm not sure about Tosha, because we haven't interacted much yet.
Lia and I went to a community social last night and I actually talked to people and made a friend, which is something I don't do very often. It was a nice change of pace.
So, time to get to the meat and potatoes of this post: school is about to start! I'm terrified, honestly. My classes are Intro to Statistics, Comic Book Literature, The American Colonies, and WWII. I've only seen the syllabi for the two history classes but WWII in particular is going to be pretty intense.
My concerns are that I'll be a terrible student again, largely due to my health problems. The increased dose of Savella has me dreaming even more intensely than before. It's hard to wake up when the dream feels more real than being awake does. And I dream of the stupidest things, too. They're not even interesting stories, they're just dreams of things that happen in everyday life. It increases the sense of reality, which is not good.
I'm going to have to try and regulate my sleep cycle because even with all my classes in the afternoon and evening, it will be difficult to make it in every day. The WWII class requires attendance, so I definitely have to get to that one. Ideally, I'd get to all of them, but I have to think of my priorities in case that becomes impossible.
I think I'll start doing the reading for WWII now. That's right, the class hasn't been in session yet and we already have an assignment. See what I mean about it being intense?
