Spring Semester 2014

Good morning everybody. I'm going to try and talk today about the first day of the semester instead of sitting around a woe-is-me-ing about how fat and gross and horrible I feel.

MondayWednesdayFridays are my crazy days. I start at 8:00 with Positive Psychology (with a teacher I absolutely ADORE) and then move on to Principles of Learning, Physiology of Exercise 1, and Abnormal Psych. On Wednesday nights then, I also have Intro To Group Processes, which is a 3 hour class with only 10 people where we basically learn how to run a group therapy session (which can be a very difficult and dynamic environment, from what I hear. Teachers tell interesting stories.)

I met a girl in my Abnormal class who is also in my Group Processes class. She seems to be my kinda person. Kinda on the edge of the group, smart, motivated, and introverted, but still sweet and kind. I'm really pumped about that and hope to get to know her better as the semester progresses. (I met someone new! Beat that Social Anxiety!)

Then on TuesdayThursdays, all I have is World Geography, which is my last gen ed. It's funny, my mom got me a college geography course COLORING BOOK accompaniment for Christmas. I had a friend who had the coloring book for Anatomy and Physiology, and I was SUPER jealous. Totally the best way to study! And seriously, you remember the material! So that's the class I'm going to today, and then hopefully my boyfriend and I will play some tennis (I know, it's actually warmish here. Weird, huh?)

So in my Positive Psych class, the teacher was talking about how we're going to do an Awareness project and presentation and we can talk about anything we want, as long as it has an effect on our lives. When we were leaving class, my boyfriend asked what I was thinking of doing.

"I don't know." I said. "I have a few ideas, but I'm not really sure."

"You know what you should do?" he replied. "E-N-D-O!!!"

It had crossed my mind. I mean, a lot of the endo stuff in this blog is to try and raise awareness, because even if people haven't heard of it, they don't realize how much of an effect it has on people's lives and how much people struggle. And I could talk about the positives as well and how you have to have that sort of mindset to get through the day.

But that would also mean me saying in front of a group of people that I have endo. Nerve wracking!

We'll see, I guess.
