Successful Starts! :)

So I'm officially moved out of the old place and into the new place, and it has been nothing but smooth sailing so far!!!

I definitely think the old apartment held some bad energy...so it's nice to have a brand new fresh start! :)

School started yesterday for me, and my first classes were very successful! Mammalogy is going to be a lot of work, but I am LOVING the class material! Spanish II is going to be annoying...but Tropical Ecology is going to be a very interesting class to; we actually get to make and present research proposals! Physiological Psychology is going to be a little time consuming (a lot of reading...) but I think Neurobiology will help me out with some of the material! At least that class was good for something ;)

Other than that, I actually traded my Psychology of Career Development class for a class called Behavioral Modifications! I'm excited for this class material too; it's all about going more in depth with different training methods to, well, modify behavior! Hahaha
I also ended up getting ANOTHER research assistant position! This one counts for class credit and I have applied for it every semester since last year! So now I am involved as an undergraduate research assistant in:
-the Cognitive Sciences Lab
-the Physiological Ecology and Bioenergetics Lab
-and now, the Applied Cognition and Technology (ACAT) Lab!!!
(Thanks to Dr. Fiore, Dr. Worthy, and Dr. Chin for all of these amazing opportunities!)

So 19 credit hours, 3 research assistant positions, and a part-time job later...I am more excited for this semester than any other semester I've ever had!!! I know it is going to be a lot of work, but I know that I am going to love every minute of it :) There may be times that I struggle, but I feel that this is going to be the best preparation for me to get into the grad school program of my dreams and one day be able to conduct my own research!

Great things are happening, and I have to admit...that this is the happiest I have been in a very, very long time, and I have a ton of people to thank for that :)
I am feeling back to my old self, doing things that I love, studying material that is actually interesting to me, and not feeling as lethargic and fatigued as I have been the past year since I got back from San Diego. I went to a meeting for Swim Club tonight, so I will probably be doing that on Wednesday nights and Sundays, and then I will definitely be doing IM volleyball this semester :)

Other than that, things are falling into place even better than I could have asked for! I am so incredibly thankful for it too :)

I am feeling nice and tired from today; so much excitement and I didn't even take a nap today! :)
Food choices for me today were EXCELLENT and I'm feeling great!

Breakfast: Egg White, Spinach, and Feta Omelet!

Snack: Banana and Mango Smoothie!

Gonna finish off the rest of the week on this high note for sure!!! :)
