When you're in high school, and you hear about college students having a whole month off between Fall and Spring semesters, you never really anticipate it flying by as quickly as it does. The beginning of break wasn't as relaxing as I hoped it would be, as I scrambled to do some last minute Christmas shopping and head back to the Hubb to see my family. After the hectic holidays were over, life definitely began to slow down a bit and I caught up on some much-needed sleep.
Now that we're all back at school, and I have to get my butt out of bed by 7:30 everyday, I'm absolutely exhausted. I probably shouldn't complain, because our first day of classes ended up being a snow day, so I got an extra day to sleep 'til noon. School is going pretty well so far, though. My sociology class - Culture Diversity & Human Need - is really interesting already, and I know it'll be one of those classes that really makes you challenge your own ways of thinking. I'm also taking Bio102 and American History as my last two gen. ed. requirements, but they seem really interesting as well. My one and only psych class I'm taking - Sensation & Perception - seems interesting but really really challenging. Neuroscience isn't exactly my forte, but if I can wrap my brain around the biology of it all, I think it'll be a really informative and helpful class.
I'm also pretty pumped for this semester, though, because I may be volunteering at Children's Hospital Boston. Its something I've always wanted to do, and this semester is really the first one that I have enough consecutive hours during the day to do it. I'm currently trying to figure out the little details and get the paperwork squared away so I can start ASAP. I was assigned to work with children in the oncology and hematology department, meaning children who have cancer - which will be tough to see, I'm sure, but I think it'll totally be worth it.
I should probably wrap this up because I'm leaving soon to go check out the Body Worlds exhibit in Framingham. I'll definitely let you know how awesome it is!
