Class = Fried Brain

Wow, this week has been flying by.  Today was definitely the longest day I've had.  I woke up at 8 to get ready for class at 9 and dashed out the door.  I had my first day of my Islam class, which was actually really good, though I definitely felt stupid, as half the class is either Arabic of Islamic Studies majors....and then there's me, the dumb scientist...*doh*  It's definitely going to be a really interesting class, because it provides so much insight into how Muslim culture is organized, and sort of a better idea of what is instilled in the culture by the religion, and what has nothing to do with Islam.

I then headed on the Brain, Mind, and Behavior, and had my brain numbed for an hour.  I need a way to entertain myself in that class, it's painful.  Everything we discussed had either been covered in AP Psych FOUR YEARS AGO or we covered in 15 minutes in my neuroscience class.  Bleh.  But then it was time for microbiology which was good.  We are slowly but surely starting to get into the good part of the material, so I'm excited.

After class, I had a break until neuroscience lecture, so I just kind of bummed around in my room, and stretched out a little bit.  Then I realized I was gonna have to take my gear with me to neuroscience so I could dash to TKD immediately after lecture.  Wednesdays are gonna be interesting from now on, given that class is supposed to get out at 5:15, and TKD starts at.....5....oops.  Whatever, it's a 2 hour class, I'm still going.  But when I got there today, it was insane!  There were SO many people there.  I kind of didn't like it actually.  Less time physically spent doing the drills :(  But all in all, it was a decent workout, and my technique is slowly but surely getting a little better.  Time for those doubles.....

Somehow in the past 2 days, I've inadvertently gotten roped into competing in tournaments?  My BJJ coach just kind of....informed me that I was going to compete in the Victorian State BJJ tournament...."oh...um....ok?....*crap*"   Then at TKD, one of the red belts was like...."hey Evan, you wanna do some sparring...aka compete in the tournament in April?"....oh no.  I'm gonna die :(  At least it'll give me some sort of training goal? *sigh*

Anyways, I only have my one stupid mind-numbing class tomorrow, and it's at 10, and I'm actually thinking of just....not going.  It's stupid!  *grumble grumble*  I know I'll end up going anyway, but it's nice to think about not.....Tomorrow will also definitely involve a trip to either the QV or some sort of grocery store, as I am completely out of food, and have resorted to scavenging at the 7/11....

On a different note, birthday night is Friday night, and ooooh I will update you all on what that is when it arrives.....
