Tuesday Anticipations, January 10, 2012

This week I'm anticipating the following:

1. The start of classes - the first ones are going on even as this post goes live!  I dive right into clinical skills learning this week too!  I still can't believe this is happening for me!
2. Coffee later this afternoon with a friend - we've been trying to get together for ages and it's finally happening
3. Settling into a routine of school
4. (Maybe) Beginning the hunt for a part time job
5. Hanging out with my brother and a friend
6. House church - we're gathering at a pub/restaurant this week to eat together, pray, and enjoy each other's company
7. The weekend!  I don't have any classes on Monday's, so my weekends will be the time when I can rest, see friends, catch up on homework, eventually work, and tackle outstanding to do items from the week.  I'm looking forward to how these three day weekends will shape up!
8. Settling further into my rearranged living space and seeing how it creates new independence for me.

3. getting the vast majority of errands and tasks on my list for the day accomplished
4. a huge, lovely moon
5. preparing for the big day (first day of classes) tomorrow - anticipating it, and doing little things like packing my bag, making a lunch (and breakfast - 8 am lectures!), choosing what I'll wear.  Should be awesome!
