It's Tuesday! Not sure if that is a good or bad thing. =)
My classes yesterday went well. I love my math instructor. He makes it 'fun'. Math, for me, is NOT fun. I also get to take home all my tests and finals. YAY!! My BIO class will be ok I think. The instructor is like the smartest guy ever. He has 3 masters and is working on his doctorate. He has worked on many case studies for medicine and the list goes on and on. I guess, though, none of that will matter if the guy can't teach. We will see. The book weighs like 50 lbs and is freaking HUGE. And YES we will be going through EVERY chapter. We have lab, though, so hopefully THAT will be fun. I'm a little nervous about having a lab partner. The teacher said he will be placing us in teams and will mix it up every fre labs we do. I really DON'T like that. BUT, I guess it will be good for me to work outside my comfort zone. Honestly, though, nothing about this is comfortable for me. Tomorrow is our first lab. I hope I don't get stuck with someone snotty and mean. Is that terrible of me to say that? i get annoyed very easily when dealing with stupid people. i don't mean, STUPID in the sense of literally book stupid, i mean STUPID as in ignorant I guess. Ignorance, to me, is unacceptable. I'm just being honest.
I don't even want to get into my eating or weight. i stepped on the scale this am and about screamed. I can sit here and write down all the reasons I think i went up, but I'm not going too. It's not going to make a difference in how I feel so why even waste the energy. My daily schedule has been thrown off and I just need to find a new schedule with my classes. I also need to get in more water at school. I can't take in water to my BIO class and that really bothers me. It's 3 hours long and I'm used to drinking water ALL the time. i will figure it out. Needless to day, I have to re-lose 3 lbs. AGAIN. Not going to dwell. I will do what I do and it will fall off when it's supposed too.

Stress... not drinking enough water... and stress... seriously hun those 3 pounds are nothing. When I was in my longer classes I would just drink the water - it is ok to get up and go to the bathroom. I went and cased out all the bathrooms closest to my classes so that I knew exactly where I was going so I wasn't wondering the halls or anything. You will get it all figured out - it just takes time.

Thanks Pixi. I know I just need to figure out a new daily schedule and figure out the water at school thing. I already found the closest water fountians to refill my water bottle. I need to find the bathrooms too. =) I'm just a little stressy this AM due to the gain. BUT in the bigger scheme of things, 3 lbs really isn't anything. I think i might just be blaming the 3 lbs for the little bit of overwhelming feelings I'm having. It will pass. =) Thank you helewis! Thank you for the wonderful encouragement! =)

I know it will pass... and yes find the bathrooms lol that was my first major thing after finding my classes and water fountains..once you have been in school for a couple weeks you will be good! I found it took me about a month and then I was good to go.. as for the lab, you will do fine I found the one lab I did took me completely out of my comfort zone but it was great because I actually met people.. the profs I had were great and tried to keep the older students with the older ones to make it a little less painful lol

I hope you have a great day, Dawn! As far as lab partners go, I hope you get a good one. For me, the snotty people were fine as long as they did the work. I HATED it when I got a slacker though. As for the weight gain, I am sure it will come off once you get your schedule down. You have accomplished so much already. This is just a little speed bump! :-) Umm, so when are you going to post a picture of your cool nice hair color?!? I'm sure you can make it work for you.

I have this thing with public pottys so I'm hoping the ones by my classes are clean. My Bio class is on the 3rd floor and it doesn't seem like a lot of kids have classes up there. So I'm hoping that means the pottys won't be gross. That prob sounds so silly, but womens bathrooms can be so disgusting. It really makes me wonder about some of the things I see in them. YUCK. I'm hoping I get put with an older person. Or at least someone going for nursing. or the smart kid. LOL. I'm not picky. LOL

Thank you Angie! I'm actually getting ready for school, now, so i can take a pic. I'm not sure how to post them in my journal so it will prob be on FB or in the pics group thingy. It seems to be a bit darker today. Wishfull thinking maybe?!?! LOL.

Ok so I put a pic in the JUST PICS group, you can NOT see the purple. I'm so irritated. It's overcast here today so it's really dark in my house. =(

STRESS. Yep, stress will do it every time. Releases cortisol and that put son belly weight. And yep, water. You know the drill but just glad you're not gonna beat yourself up over it. It's nothing, really and will disappear very fast. Just make sure you're eating, girl! Cause you do NOT want your metabolism to come to an abrupt halt (voice of experience). Eat a little something every 3 - 4 hours and you'll get your metabolism revved up again. (just not a sugar something) And girl... if you think WOMEN'S bathrooms are gross? Have you even BEEN in the Men's room? OMG... Men ARE pigs! lol... (not mine, but then again, I got lucky) I'm hoping you get a good lab partner! Have fun and being out of your comfort zone? Probably the best thing ANY of us can do. That's how we grow and change. Good luck! Have a great day.

Not silly at all I would actually walk farther to use the clean bathroom at school lol I have issues with public bathrooms to start with and dirty/smelly/gross ones just make it worse.

Thanks red! I've had alot of water today. Working on more as I type. I just back from school. I had a horrible experience at the bus stop. This very weird mad kept trying to talk to me. He got very close to me, which I HATE unless I know you, and just gave me the creepies. i felt bad, though, because he kept talking to me and I was texting and trying to be polite but not talk to him at the same time. THEN he goes, am i scaring you?? I was like...WTH!! As a matter of fact after you said that YES. I just smiled and said no and went back to texting. He then walked across the street and watched me, then he came BACK and tried again. He eventually got the message and left. i have no prob chatting with someone, but when you invade my personal space...I'm not going to talk. that's just the way i am. It makes me nervous and I don't like it. I feel bad though, because what if he was a little slower and just wanted to make a new friend? Blah. Oh well. My safety comes first I guess. Just wanted to share my going to school story.

Wow. Thanks for sharing, Dawn. Damn - there's this book that I read long ago called The Gift of Fear. It tells you to stop and listen to the signals we get and that, especially as women, we've been socialized to be "polite" and "caring" and to go out of our way to not offend someone. But this keeps us from listening to our inner selves - the ones that are more instinctive and animalistic, the ones that keep us SAFE. So if you EVER feel uncomfortable or afraid around someone - listen to that and take heed. Because it's part of our survival of the fittest instincts and very important to listen to. Okay, that said - yeah, he could have been a little slow. But that is NOT how you go about making friends and the simple fact that he ASKED you if he was scaring you? To me that means that was his intent - to overpower you, to alter the playing field, to make you a little uncomfortable and anxious. My daughter has had a number of problems at the college bus stops and even ON the buses occasionally. She's even had people thrown off the bus for being that way to her. So listen to yourself, okay? And stay safe. :D But have fun! Hope your day was a good one.

Red~I will look for that book. It sounds interesting. I will admit I'm somewhat overly 'nervous' at times. i grew up in a small town and have never really lived in a full fledged 'urban' enviornment. We have issues here, all the time, on busses, so I'm always leary before I even get to the stop. i was ok until he asked me if I was scared. I looked him right in the eyes and said 'NO'. Not sure if that will make a difference, but i didn't want to seem like I was. Even though it prob really did look like that. =) Thank you so much! You sound just like my mom! And that is a GOOD thing. =) I hope your daughter remains safe as well. It's becoming a very scary world out there!!
