Anybody Else Completely Lost?

Today was my first day of school!  I feel like a big kid again!  I woke up this morning full of that nervous excitement that always accompanies the first day of class, but also realized that I was in no way mentally prepared to have classes start again.  I've been on a 2.5 month vacation, and suddenly was sitting in microbiology lecture?  Ouch.  Before class I had to go to the faculty of arts and add a new class AGAIN to fix my schedule, but I finally have a set class roster:

Brain, Mind & Behavior (TuWTh)

Behavioral Neuroscience (MW, 2 hr lab Tu)

Microbiology & Immunology (MWF)

Texts of Islam (discussion W, lectures online?)

So I found out after signing up for my class on the texts of Islam (Qu'ran and Hadith) that the class is apparently being taught through the internet to students at various Australian universities, and that it was on us to listen to the lectures before our respective tutorials?  I'm confused, and I know the fact that I don't have a set lecture to go to is gonna screw me up :/

I had my first microbiology lecture today, and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Apparently there are 6 professors who are teaching the class, each teaching about a different topic, so that will be really good.  The first professor is this crazy old lady who told us that Listerine lies to us in their tv ads and that bacteria are everywhere and have a bad rep in the press and if someone ever tells us that bacteria are bad we should "tell them it's bullshit"........This is gonna be a good semester, I can tell already.  

Immediately after getting out of class, I dashed back home to wolf down a bar and get on the tram to kickboxing.  Why I went to kickboxing, I have no idea.  There is an amazing disconnect between what my brain wants to do, and what my body wants to do.  I had a great deal of post-Parkour soreness, which I apparently thought kickboxing could ameliorate?  So I got to class, and since George is out of town, we had another crazy instructor who worked us until the floor.  Thirty fast-paced roundhouse kicks on each leg is quite a tiring endeavor, and intermixing that with a minute of continuous punches on pads is also tiring.  We did work a nice combo, but given that my shoulders felt like they were going to pop off, I don't think I appreciated it very much at the time.  We then ended class by punishing my already sore quads by doing 50 squats and then holding a deep lunge for 1 minute on each leg *OW*.  Then it was time for leg-lifts, so my abs are already sore, which is a very bad sign for what they're going to feel like tomorrow.  At least I'm taking the night off from BJJ until my body gets used to the twice daily training ritual.  

I came back from kickboxing and showered off, and headed out to neuroscience, feeling slightly scared, given my traumatic experience freshman year....I got there and discovered that my friend Melissa is actually in the class with me, which made me feel a little better....and then lecture started....and I realized that although I have knowledge of brain anatomy buried somewhere in the depths of my mind, pulling it out is going to be a difficult process....and we covered so much ground on the first day of class, that I can already tell this is gonna be a tough class, and I'm gonna have to stay on top of my work.  There is also apparently a 2 hour lab every week for the class, and we're supposed to be performing experiments?....I'm not really sure how I feel about that since we're not being told what they entail.....I don't like electrodes in my brain, thanks though...

So I have since been attempting to recover and coating my aching muscles with Tiger Balm.  I think I'm gonna head to Turf a little later tonight to meet up with my friends and discuss our interesting first days of class.....

More updates to come after class tomorrow.....First all-women's BJJ class tomorrow :D
