Journal Entry for 6/14/11
So, at least I'm more stable now...I don't think it hurts that I'm busy a lot.
This week I'm not working that much at the pharmacy -- today was it -- in large part because of the material I have to cover for my legal ethics course. I'm finding I can't take notes without my lappy because some of the concepts in the book are not explained well. So far so good, but it's still taking me a good 6-7 hours to go through a chapter, and if I had to do more than simply prepare for discussion it would be longer than that.
A discussion in the class on Monday actually got kinda heated...we were warned ahead of time that the topics would be inflammatory (professor's language), but I never thought I'd actually see it. It felt uncomfortable, honestly. But the professor did well to step in several times and keep things from getting out of hand.
There is a part of me that is worried about a research project that will be revealed in two weeks' time. I guess the concern is keeping up with the readings as I'm doing so. Maybe I need to take a brief sabbatical from work when I get to that point? I don't know. At some point, I will need to be able to handle pressure, otherwise the fall semester won't hit off too well. Hmmm....
...
...I'll have to think about that, I guess.
