Rookie

So just in case my semester wasn't packed enough of shit I have to do, I joined the women's rugby team. I can't run for shit but I'm good at tackling and defense. After running just ONE lap yesterday at practice, my kneecap moved and I had to stop. Usually we run 2 laps around the field. We do about an hour of just conditioning exercise and then an hour of drills. My body has never been for freaking sore in my life. My thighs and stomach muscles are killing me. It's slightly painful to walk up and down the stairs. I'm also still doing my Active Minds stuff too. Rugby practice is Monday through Friday from 4-6PM and Active Minds meets every Tuesday at 7:15PM. I still have a lot of school work to do along with that. This is my last semester here; I need to excel, get everything done on-time and done right. I may not be able to make it to every practice but I can do what I can and I'll do what I can on my own.

I'm still having difficulty settling down here. As my boyfriend put it, I've been all squirmy since a little before leaving to come back to Oswego. I just don't like the continuous leaving/returning thing. I left for 4 months for Italy, not being able to really be with my friends and family at all, came back for 4 months for summer, and now I'm gone again for another 4 months for school. At least I have the means to go back home if I want to or go and see my boyfriend but I'm still unsettled (yay for having an adjustment disorder). Everything just seems too weird now. I don't know if that's due to the fact that this is my last semester here or something else.

Everything else is going fine. I like most of my classes. Chinese Art and Gender and The Visual Arts are actually tough classes just on the workload alone. I fucking hate classes that are so heavily ANGEL based. Whatever though. I'll get my work done and hopefully I'll be a little more settled next week or just sometime soon.
