Endorphins
So the first couple of days of school have been really kicking my ass, these classes are no joke - but I’m ridiculously happy. I even went and performed a monologue for the theater department auditions tonight, and that’s not like me - I’m a little shy. Actually, I felt like puking for a couple of hours before my audition, but I forced myself to go. I don’t want to be in any of the productions, though - just wanted to do something out of my comfort zone.
So my classes are…Arabic (language), Arab World (culture), and American Lit. That’s not the actual course names, but you get the idea. I think the prof in my language class is moving too fast for most of the students, someone asked if I’d help them study. This is a great time to (once again) thank my former teacher at the CCCL, Samir Azzibou - without him, I would have never learned Arabic script.
OK, time to do homework.

Wow, good for you on the monologue. That takes a lot of guts. Are you working on top of all of these classes? If so, a big round of applause for you b/c that’s pretty tough going.

Thanks, Bill, I guess I’m in good company then!
Aimee- I’m working, but my schedule is pretty good. I have a class at 8:30am every day, then I work from around 9:30 - 4, then another class at 5:30. (2 different classes at 5:30) The people who really impress me are the ones who have kids/work/go to school - how do they do it? You’d have to be almost superhuman.
