Day 3: 8/26/15

So today was just a super weird and exhausting day.  Many of the participants in the adult fitness program were not walking as much, so it was difficult to feel like I was doing much in class.  I will walk by and say hello while they are at machines and such, but it seems to be aggravating and distracting to try to have a conversation with them while they are trying to lift weights.  At least, that's how I feel if someone tries to do that to me.  We had our first classroom meeting for that class and it basically went over all of the things we will have to do over the semester(aka, so much shit there isn't enough time).

After class I walked over to the coffee shop on campus and grabbed some coffee and started reading some for my next class.  I went to class, which was simply everyone going around and showing off the few things they brought into class that were items they felt were important to their daily lives and discussing how research effected those items.

My exercise testing class was just reviewing exercise physiology concepts, which was interesting because I found out that there are at least 4 people in that class who did not get their undergrad degree in Exercise Science.  One was in education..ok, 2 were in administration….that's weird, and one had her bachelors in MUSIC…..MUSIC…..WTF.  The administration and music majors had never had a kinesiology or exercise physiology class before, and they were wanting to go into recreation administration.  Why wouldn't you be in Sports Administration? And how the hell were you accepted into this program????  Good Lord, I would not want to be them taking graduate classes in this major.

I came home and did some more homework and then headed off to my last class of the day.  We spent most of it in groups doing the assignment that went along with the research study we were reading.  I already had it done so it was slightly boring.

I attended my graduate student meeting at 5, which went over a lot of different things, most of which could have been sent out in a memo instead of wasting my time.  I basically found out that, while my program is only a year long, there's a large possibility that it will take longer unless I want to kill myself.  I basically have a crapload of things to get done this semester and I was so overwhelmed already.

It was a rough day, and I bake when I'm stressed…let's just say there were about 4 dozen cookies after I finally started dinner at 7.  Luckily, wine was on sale at County Market too.  I tried to relax and just enjoy the rest of my night and destress.  Colby and I watched Face Off since he had never seen it.  I love Nicolas Cage, especially back in the day.  So after all of that, I called it a night and went to bed, praying for a better tomorrow.
