School Again

First of all, I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and I wish you a happy new year! C'mon, 2014, I hope you're awesome.

I'm leaving tomorrow morning (meaning no internets) and will go back to school Monday.

This break was nice, but also kinda depressing. I only left the house 3 times, to go out to dinner with my family. I had things to do so I wasn't really bored, but I felt kind of sad all the time. I wasn't leaving my house and experiencing my hometown that I missed so much, (like taking a walk along the beach or looking at sights that I missed or admiring little shops), or seeing any friends. (Also I don't own a car). It was just like summer when I was recovering from surgery all over again, minus the pain. I don't want to go back to school, but I think it'll be good for me to be see people and get outside.

I'm very excited about the classes I'm taking this upcoming quarter but I'm also worried about the workload. I'm taking an important veterinary class on wildlife disease (very applicable to my practicum work studying ticks and fleas), a class on detailed metabolism and biochemistry, a gene expression class (punnett squares in overdrive basically), and a class on general ecology.  These are all upper division, which I've been looking forward to because I'm finally done with my obnoxious lower division prerequisites like Physics and other subjects that I hate, buuuut these will probably be very hard in comparison? 

Anyway, I guess we'll see. I can always drop a class if things get to be too much!

Good luck in 2014 again everyone!
