Procrastination

I am once again avoiding homework and choosing to blog instead. Maybe procrastination from school work will be helpful in blogging? I did finish my math homework and do about 30 minutes of bio notes. I missed my first class last night. I am sick. Timing couldn't be worse. I have class all week, swimming lessons for kids, a house to clean, food to stock up on and just the other normal everyday things that never end. My surgery is going to be here before I know it. Friday isn't really that far away. I had my pre-surgical appointment today. It went well. I like my doctor. He is really straight forward, answers questions, and doesn't rush. I feel like I'm going into this as prepared as I can be. I did forget to get my handicap parking pass today so I'll have to run down there tomorrow morning and pick it up. It really will come in handy at school and when I'm running errands. Even though I'll be able to get around ok after the weekend, I will be trying to stay off my foot as much as I can. Even with all the preparation, I'm still nervous. I'm afraid of the pain and the recovery time and just the inconvenience of having my foot in a post surgical shoe. But it is better than the alternative. Pain in my foot forever and not being able to wear normal shoes. What women won't sacrifice to wear nice shoes, right?

To add to the stress, I have a Biology test on Monday that covers 4 chapters. The material is a

bit easier to understand than what was covered on the first test, but it's going to require of lot of memorization of terms. Who knew a cell had so many organelles? And learning all the functions of each one-it's a lot. And that is just one tiny section of one chapter out of four. This class is a challenge. I was looking over the list of classes that I still need to take to prepare to apply to the nursing program. My biology nightmares are far from over. I have two Anatomy and Physiology classes and a microbiology class left, as well as another math class, psych 200 and a communications class. I'm going to try and take 3 next quarter. I can take psych and math online next quarter, so I should only have one class on campus. That will be a nice break from this quarter. My goal fro next quarter? No surgery. I would like to get through one quarter of school without a mid-quarter surgery, especially the weekend before a test. My dermoid surgery was the weekend before a Monday Psych test, and now this one the weekend before a Monday Bio test. This should be an attainable goal, but with my track record so far, it's going to be a tough one to achieve!

Ok, enough procrastination for now. I should put in another hour on bio before heading to school. It's better than cleaning my house, right?
