I think I'm going to like this semester.

Even though I'm taking roughly 20 hours of classes (6 non-credit MCAT prep hours + 1 hour of Chamber Singers, which I consider to be more of an extra-curricular activity +13 hours of for-credit classes, 4 of which are upper-level biology and chemistry classes and labs, then a bible course) and get stressed when I think about needing to study 20 hours for MCAT prep and about 24 hours for the for-credit classes, I actually look forward to every class (because they are all extremely interesting and fun) and even to the MCAT prep classes (because I'm taking them with one of my friends, and afterwards on Thursdays, we will go to Sanctuary and sing praises to God at the top of our lungs!)  I need to get on a good study, sleep, and eating schedule, however, which is harder to do than I thought it would be (hence my staying up late to write this).

I thought about writing more, but the headache of tiredness has set in, so I'm just going to end with this little tidbit: I usually never willingly go out in the rain without an umbrella, but on Wednesday, I saw that it was raining and decided, before I realized that I left my umbrella at home, that I would walk to class slowly and actually enjoy the feeling of rain, and not simply the sight, sound, and scent of it.  I felt very at peace in the rain, not caring that the drops landed on my glasses and slightly skewed my vision.  Joy was also a very prominent feeling. I couldn't stop smiling as I walked to my 8 o'clock.  I think God is in the rain; therefore, I don't think I will ever use an umbrella again (unless I'm required to show up completely dry to an event). That's all for now. :)
