Campus life.......very different this time

So I obtained my student ID today. The office people were, as usual, unenthuciastic and looked at me with this I-wish-I-were-somewhere-else-so-much-that-my-face-has-turned-zombie-like expression. I breezed through the process. And of course, my picture looked horrible and I looked so swollen one would think something horrible had happened to me and I was in the middle of cosmetic surgery recovery.

But I digress. ID obtained. Official stamp of the start of campus life.

The student body in California is way more diverse than what I experienced in Chapel Hill, NC. Today it was Diagnosis and Assessment class, then MFT orientation, then Lifespan Human Development. I tried crashing another dev. class but failed--the text book in the other class is so much cheaper. Oh well, I tried to beat the system but it got me at the end.

The assessment class should turn out well. Professor Harris was on fire, and never broke a sweat as she sped us through the short version of the meaning and purpose of assessment for us future MFTs. Love that. Hate teachers who talk slowly and uselessly--if I wanted lectures that are only one level up from cocktail chitchat, I would have gone to a party and bore myself to death there rather than paying for it. Regardless, this environment is good; it serves its purpose to let me read through what I need to read through and continue to do what I love to do, hopefully better. Really glad that most of my professors are practicing therapists.

Tired. Going to bed. As to how I feel--I cleaned up my room after I got home, a sign that I am not feeling that great.
