We Hate You Conrad, Oh Yes We Do

It's week two of classes and my back is in knots. I need to figure out how to not be so amped up. We have a quiz each week in most of my classes, all but two of which are today. So that's 3 quizzes today (out of 5 possible) and another on Wednesday. I really have to relax. I'll do just as well with out getting so worked up I can't sleep well/through the night.

I got my new camera. :-) It's a Canon Rebel EOS. I can't wait to play with it (the battery had to charge).

This morning I woke up with the opening number of "Bye Bye Birdie" in my head.

Not much else going on - time for school.

Good bob I hear you. Last semester I had only one class with regular *weekly* quizzes, chapter review and homework "due". This semester, while the coursework is more manageable, each class is requiring reading from more than one text, multiple assignments due each week in each class (all 6) and review questions (not like I did last semester where I read them and thought about the answers in my head) that have to be well written out in 2-3 paragraph essay form as well as a quiz at the end of each week.

After a 60 hour study week the first two weeks, I simply decided to base my effort on the point value of each thing. I can't give 150% to the 10-50 point items and still maintain this pace. ;)

Have fun with the Rebel - that's what I've had for the last year and I do love it.
