today and the rest of the week.

today went by relatively quickly. class and work were fine, although work was a little boring. practice was stressful (a bad row and i apparently lost my mind for the time we were on the water). not having my sunglasses was annoying because the sun was in a bad spot, especially when it came time to dock. luckily, my dad shipped them today. hopefully i'll get them by friday at the latest. i'm also anxiously awaiting the arrival of my shoes, which lara said should come soon, but i'll try not to hold my breath.

the spring schedule of courses came out today and i spent a good half hour or forty-five minutes deciding what classes i want to take. my schedule will be difficult, but i think i'll survive.

monday/wednesday/friday
8:30 - physics, duda
9:30 - latin II, bakewell
10:30 - sickness, healing, and disability in the bible, calef
11:30 - biology, burke

tuesday
9:30 - physics lab
12:30 - english literature I, fajardo-acosta

thursday
8:00 - biology lab
12:30 - english literature I, fajardo-acosta
4:00 - physics recitation, duda

and i think i will work in the lab monday, wednesday, and friday afternoons from 1-3 or so.

i'm excited for the english lit class because we should be reading some good works since it is focused on medieval/renaissance literature, also because i have heard only good things about fajardo-acosta...and because steph's going to take it as well. the rest are pretty much all just classes i have to get done with at some point. it will be a tough semester, but it seems like every semester i have left will be just as difficult.

the few things i have to look forward to this week:
iron & wine concert on wednesday (denver - fillmore auditorium, 7:30pm)
head of the iowa on sunday (iowa city)

i still don't know what i'm doing and the thought of dropping out of school to play golf becomes ever more appealing as the days go by. on a side note, it makes me sad to think that jack is doing what he wants to do with his life, but now he might have to give it up because he has a kid on the way (i hope its a girl...we'll know soon enough) and he doesn't get paid enough to work at pinehurst. the realization that people have to give up things they love really makes me doubt this world. i will cry if jack doesn't work at pinehurst anymore. it will be incredibly depressing without him there. enough of things that make me sad...
