Even though I know I'm supposed to take things one at a time I keep getting so worried and bogged down by what I have to do! There's too much studying and work to be done within the next too weeks and I don't want to deal with it. I've been working hard since last week, too.

I mean, I guess I deserve it! But there's no time to think about that now.

In any case, I'm pretty lucky with unexpected.. opportunities, I guess you could say. This isn't the first time, but today, I went to see a pre-med adviser to ask questions about.. Well, the path of pre-med! She was able to address quite a few of the concerns I had. I also wasn't planning on asking about it, but at the end the adviser asked if I did any internships or volunteering yet. I told her I didn't, because I planned to do that in my year off, but she suggested looking at clinical volunteering internships at the ICC. There's only a 4 hour requirement for every week. Because that sounded doable, I asked her what that was about, and she told me I could go check it out upstairs where someone can help me. Sign-ups, she said, started either today or tomorrow.

So, of course, I head upstairs, find the right place to ask and get a little demonstration. The girl tells me I can sign up right then and there if I wanted to, so I did. It turns out my pass time just started, too, so she went ahead and told me what steps I'm supposed to do and all that. Apparently I have until Saturday to pick, but the sooner the better because slots fill up fast. It works like a lottery or something like that. I asked if I could do the signing up at my apartment, since I wanted to check my schedule for next quarter before picking an internship. She also told me which ones had a bus line that went there that I could take for FREE.

All in all, I got to learn about this ICC and lottery thing I've been hearing about from some other students but didn't understand. We'll see how it goes. I hope I don't forget about the orientation dates! I also have to figure out how to get to where I gotta go by bus-- I like free transportation. I'll ask around and see if some other students can help me out, because the only bus lines I see cost money!

This is all future next quarter stuff, though. Now that that's out of the way, I have to go back to doing some school work that needs attention right now. In all honesty I just want to do nothing and complain!
