So this is probably the busiest semester I have had since I came down to South. Why is it so busy you ask? Well let me tell you...
First of all classes...I am taking the following classes this semester:
- Synoptic 1: 6 Credit Hours
- Computer Applications in Meteorology: 3-4 Credit Hours
- Physical Meteorology: 3 Credit hours
- Foundations in Math: 3 Credit Hours
Synoptic 1 alone equals a whole semester work for 3 classes. We have to do briefings, forecasts, case studies (which deserves a blog post all for itself), and COMET modules....oh COMET modules...not fun.
So on top of classes I have work, which when I started to work at the campus bookstore it seemed like a pretty easy job. That is of course when it is not football season. Football season + Bookstore = Stress & Headache. Don't get me wrong I enjoy my job but some days I just don't want to go into work. We work at every football game which is a 12-13 hour day and it is pretty much non-stop. Luckily there is only three more games left in the season...but they are supposed to be big games which means bigger crowds and more craziness.
Let's update...we have school and work. Now for my extracurricular activities which include two clubs: BCM & Meteorology Club. First up is BCM...I love the BCM and most everything associated with the BCM. I am on the Leadership Team in which we have 3 main groups that deal with certain events. My group deals with social events like "Halloween" Party, Homecoming, etc. Basically I am in charge of the "Halloween" party and Homecoming, which is cool but I might of took on too many tasks. After November 6th I'm pretty much done with planning BCM events for the rest of the semester. Now onto Meteorology Club...as with the case studies mentioned above, the MET club is a blog post in itself. Just to sum it up though, I am a co-coordinator for SeCAPS which is a conference we do each February. As February gets closer and closer, the busier us coordinators get, for planning that conference. We are actually ahead of schedule right now which is VERY good. However it is always at the back of my mind.
So thats all that is going on in my life at the moment. Once you break it down it is not that busy but there are moments when I just want to sit and do nothing and not think about anything. However, I must go to bed so I can wake up early tomorrow morning and register for classes...fun. Good night all.
Until next time....
