My first legitimate blog post

I have a nagging concern over my BYU geography courses, and not the basic concerns I've had since the beginning like, "The Garden of Eden was in which of the following: A) Mesopotamia B) East Africa C) The Middle East D) Missouri", but more along the lines of when will I be able to realistically get them finished. I've already nearly squirreled away the first six months of my year, and things certainly aren't getting easier.

I'm also a little concerned with my ability to maintain the juggling act. I'm not the most organized person in the world, though the all-business computer certainly helps. I guess it's high time I developed the organizational skills that will make me an educational juggernaut come the fall.

Those are my negatives. The positives are, I've kept above water for three and a half weeks, and done, in my mind at least, relatively ok. The essential breaks (our self-taught diversity lesson, Chatzy, etc.) have really helped, as well as weekly frisbee. The plus side to sitting in class six hours a day is that I have tons of energy for my Wednesday games. Little things to keep me together. I'm trying to balance work and fun while I still have the option. It'll be easier once most of my undergrad friends have finally moved on to greener pastures, then I'll have no choice but burying myself in work. Scratch that. I have a sneaking suspicion my fellow MAC people will never be short on need to go out and de-stress.

Oh well. I hope BYU is excited for an entire course of Geography to arrive in the middle of a cold night in February.
