Stress, headaches, and Sleepless Night Here I Come: First Day of Classes

{Kitten trots into blog bringing a sleigh load on book in tow} Today was the first day of classes. Yes, the headaches, stress, and an end to any social life started today! Isn't that wonderful? Overall, the day went fairly except for the fact that I forgot my coffee in my room so poor lil Kitten did not have to time get a new one till around 10ish. My nursing class was at 9 and for a class that is only once a day, I have a feeling that is going to be a lot of work. She says that for every hour we are in class we should spend three hours outside of class studying. Oh dear, if I did that with every class I think I might as well cut out sleep and possibly eating. Cognitive Psychology was interesting and the teacher seems really nice. I think it should be a fun course. Early Modern European History surprised me a little. I figured the professor would would be boring and strict but he is really funny and nothing like I thought he was.

I am a little sad because no one from any of my other classes from last semester are in my classes this semester. I did see an old friend from chem lab when I was heading back to my dorm. I have meat a few interesting people today, though. After I bought my books I went to Stalker Hall where I was to have both my Psychology and History class. Well, the name of the building seem to fit what happened to me. When I walked into the building, I seen that they had a cafe but I wanted to find my classroom first then come down and get coffee since I had an hour to kill. Well, I go up to the third floor find the classroom and then head back down. Well a very good looking gentleman seemed to have joined me. We he commented on a work of art as we were going down and jokingly said that he was following me since he didn't know where to go. Well, never having been in this particular building either, I told him that we were in the same boat. Once on the first floor, I went straight for the cafe to get some caffeine that I so needed and then proceeded back upstairs. Not too long after I got up there there the gentleman again. {I do not say gentleman because he was older. He was younger than moi but, as I will tell in a minute, he was very nice}. I sat away from me for about 5 minutes then came over and sat beside me. When he sat down, he put his arm on the back of the seat and almost around me. Normally, that would have not been something I would be receptive too but there was something about him... He started up a conversation that lasted about forty minutes. We didn't talk about anything in particular just things. He was going to a history class which is too bad, it would have been nice if he had been in my pysch class.

On a completely different topic, Kitten ordered a new book last night! Was it a romance? Nope. Erotic? Nope ; ) Medical? Political? Nope and Nope. Actually, it is about mercenaries which probably falls under military maybe. That might seem rather from left field for a little kitten like me but there is a reason. You see my first romance novels centered around mercenaries and then later on, I started to do actual research. Unlike when I was 15, I no longer see the profession as romantic but I keep reading about it because it is fascinating but also mysterious. There is so much out there on our military and even the militaries of other country but I have had the hardest time finding information on these guys. It is understandable but the fact that it is a more enigmatic has always made me interested. So my book is on its way :)

Well, time to hit the books.
