Back to school...back to school...

So its day two of second semester and the homework is already piling up. Oh well, such is the life of a college student I suppose. My first impression of my classes? They're all going to be a lot of work, however, I don't think I'm really going to mind doing all the work because the classes all seem very interesting. I'm finally starting to get into topics that are of interest to me...finally I'm done with plant biology and ecology and I'm moving on to things like genetics and physiology (no offense to anyone who loves ecology--its just not my thing!)The only thing I'm really dreading is chemistry lab. Although that is something I dread every year so it really isn't anything new!

Everything with the diabetes has been going well. I had to call Jana, one of the nurses at the diabetes education center in my hometown, yesterday because in the mornings I've been having really low readings. So she adjusted one of my insulin doses and everything has been great since. I really really like Jana and I trust her completely in overseeing my care...and really, trust is one of the most important things in matters concerning a person's health. Plus, it was really nice to talk to her because she is incredibly funny.

Also, I've managed to finish my first book of the new year. I finished No Lifeguard on Duty by Janice Dickinson. Now I know there are a lot of Janice haters out there...but I find her completely fascinating. And considering what she went through growing up, I think she turned out pretty well. Yes, she's crude...blunt...and curses like a sailor...but she is also hilarious. And I found her life story to be incredibly interesting. I really want to read her other book now!

Ahhh...so many books, so little time!
