So before I left home a little over a week ago I worked at my swimming pool as a diving coach. An interesting fact eh? Getting a tiny legion of kids to focus on airborne acrobatics is as tough as anything I've done. Stepping further back two months I graduated from high school and immediately departed our country's borders with my mom and sister, flying to Ireland, where my sister and I figured we could finally experience a vacation that didn't involve hiking. I think we did about as much walking around tourist destinations as we had climbing out of the Grand Canyon several months earlier.
Back to the present, I'm glad to get classes underway. My CS 1300 class looks really relaxed, which is great because I'm horrible with computers and need to take it slow. So far all my courses seem that way except for HUMA 1600, where yesterday I experienced my first full blown lecture. Trying to sort out the important information from the irrelevant and taking decent notes all the while is not easy- I'm considering chugging red bulls before the next lecture. Its good to have a challenge though and I'm looking forward to the weeks ahead.
