Freshman Seminar Post

I am still behind on some work; still trying to catch up but also get the rest I need. I've been juggling papers, readings, and even those unimportant and sill assignments (busy work). I've ever started writing To Do lists every day just so that I know that I am keeping up. If I add anymore tasks to my lists, my brain will become a soupy mess.

On another note, I had an eye doctor's appointment this weekend. I was very glad when after the eye exam, the doctor told me that my eyes had not changed. It may not seem like a big deal, but considering I am almost blind, it is a very big deal for me. The last time this happened was three years ago. And my mother and I cried tears of joy. My eyes have always been a concern for us and knowing that they are starting to stop declining, is an event worth celebrating.

There's an open mic tonight. I may stop by and play a few songs in between doing homework. A break is necessary.

After returning to campus, I still felt the nauseating effects of having swine flu. I was unable to sleep or eat for four days. Finally, I am starting to feel better. I caught up on all the work I missed, but I am still nervous about failing Global Challenge. I emailed my teacher, as you suggested, and I hope that her response to my panic will help me understand why she believes things with "be okay" and how I will "catch up." I hope that I don't have to drop the class and retake it. There is nothing else going on in my life besides this weekend when I will go to the eye doctor, get a new prescription and then get my hair cut.
