So tired...

For the past few days I've been incredibly tired, lonely and unmotivated. Perhaps I'm becoming sick, or I'm just not settled into my new routine. I really hope it's the latter. I'm also starting to feel a little homesick, which is funny because I'm not even an hour from home. It's tough to go out and be social and fulfill my 12 conversations requirement when almost all my time is taken up by studying...

It hasn't been a good week so far for my push ups and sit ups, as I'm a couple hundred behind on both. That will have to change.

This is kind of unrelated, but I feel like ranting. Yesterday I had my first biology lab, and it was a little disappointing. It took me 45 minutes trying to calibrate my microscope since I haven't used one in over a year. Blah. I'm a bit of a nerd (I hide it well) whose eyes light up at the thought of dissecting dead things, so this experience was a bit of a downer. The bio lecture is also really hard to take,as the professor can't keep a constant stream of thought. Plus the material is a little dull. It almost makes me want to change my biology major. BUT I'll stick through it, education is never a bad idea and I'll be a better person when it's done.

So, I have a question to ask. What do you guys do to give yourself a boost when you're feeling down? For now though, I'm off to bed...
