Today I had the first part of my International Genocide in Rwanda class. This consisted of lecture from 10-12, an hour for lunch then more class from 1-5. That makes for a long day, not to mention the 200+ pages the professor wants us to read by tomorrow. I am not a fast reader especially after sitting in class all day so I don't think I will be able to read it all. Oh well I can only do so much.
I am beginning to think that I have overextended myself. My summer is over, now I have class 7 days a week for the next two weeks. Then I leave for London and Rwanda but when I come back I have Sunday with school starting on Monday. I thought that would be ok but now I don't know. I am worried that I haven't given myself enough time to reenergize, what if I get burnt out next semester, was it worth it? I can't answer that now.
I guess my attitude is a cynical right now because class is keeping me in Columbia when the rest of my family is in Wash MO. That is where I want to be and am angry with myself for being stuck here alone. Not to mention I have to come right back for class on Wed morning. The other part that stinks is that genocide isn't really an uplifting subject to be studying. It is kind of a downer then to just go home and read more about it doesn't help.
