Brain Lane

Im running out of words that run with brain.

Just finished my third hour of lecture. It definitely didnt help that they water fountain wasnt functioning and I have been dehydrated as hell this morning. It took me about 45 minutes to get ready and leave the house, which is longer than I aimed for, but it does give me time for a shower, packing everything, breakfast and tea.

I've gotten a lot better at paying attention during lectures and not resorting to my usual websurfing, which is a good plus. However, once or twice I've had a stray thought that enters my head based on the lecture material, such as a memory of studying it in the past, and by the time I realize, we've already moved on to the next slide. Not sure how to tackle this, but it seems like its at least partly caused by mental fatigue. I woke up again at 5AM today, despite closing the windows, sleeping at a regular hour, and having the A/C on....quite annoying.

I was slightly annoyed when I found out the prof hadn't posted slides last night as he should have, so I used the archived notes from last term, which turned out to quite different than what he used today. Fortunately this entire week is review, so I learned some concepts that will hopefully save me time in the future.
Looking forward to studying tonight.

Damn....Im sitting through anatomy. This class is brutally efficient. Doesnt help that I'm feeling really tired. Need to rewatch this.

Correction: I have been studying anatomy for what feels like eons and still feel like theres a metric shit-ton left. Then I need to review my other courses. THEN i need to review tomorrow's lectures.

Double-correction: it is 11pm on the first day of school and I still have work left. On my first day of school. The extent of my breaks is sleeping for 10 minutes between lectures. Its like asphalt has suddenly acquired sentience, power tools and a thirst for blood, and is jackhammering away at my brain with facts.

On the plus side, I definitely know I dont have the problem with focus that I thought I did...which narrows it down to motivation.
It's going to be a long 4 years......
