As my last week of summer begins to end, I have this gut wrench feeling, that I don't really know what I'm getting myself into school wise. The summer semester went really well and I passed every class with flying colors. I'm a little bit nervous about the intensity of the anatomy class. I've heard from students in the class above mine, that once you get past anatomy, you can make it through any class in the whole program. Talk about pressure.
On another note, this past week I went and visited Emily in Roanoke. It took me 4 1/2 hours to get there from my house in Montross and it of course rained the whole way. We rested on Tuesday and then we did some school shopping hitting up Staples, TJ Maxx, and Old Navy on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday we took tennis lessons from Miss Pat (who is an amazing instructor!). I learned so much from her in just two lessons. Not only did I learn the strokes and volleys, but I also learned WHY certain things are done which really helped me understand the importance of changing my habits. Playing softball for about 8 or 9 years, I really had some "not-so-nice" grips and strokes. Miss Pat worked with me on that even showed me things that I could do from my softball skills that would benefit me in tennis (i.e. footwork and serves). I worked on my serve some and feel pretty comfortable in my abilities now. I'm going back in September for another lesson. By then, my new grip should be put on my racket which might increase the comfort level for my wrist. Anyways, it was a ton of fun and I can't wait to go back!
Just hanging out and relaxing was a nice break from all of the busyness that I've participated in this summer. I love being busy and I love having tons of plans, but the driving and planning can sometimes get complicated and strenuous. Although, I am already missing all of my friends that aren't at JMU. Hopefully, there will be enough room to make a visit here or there during the semester. Just got to work on that financial aid now...Ugh
I have that same gut-wrenching feeling. I'm already tired and stressed and wondering what in the world did I get myself into?! But the fisrt few steps are always the hardest. We can do this!
