My last easy semester

So day two is down in the Spring semester. It has been crazy! I had to take my Eclipse the shop to get a new water pump on, because it went out while I was halfway to school. I don't want to take that turn down memory lane (this was on the first day of school). I received my financial aid and went to pay for my new math book for Chattanooga State. Oh boy it was a mess over at the main campus. I went with my highschool friends Andrew and Patrick. Alright anyways, my first day of Chem 2 was a bit shocking. After a quick overview of the class we jumped straight into Oxidation Reduction, which is also known as Redox Reactions. Yeah, yeah, it will seem like nothing in a few months (Stoichiometry was the same way), but it seems tedius now. My prepharmacy buddy Sam is in there. We've decided we're going to make an A in there. We also have planned that during the summer we're going to take Organic Chemistry 1 and 2 + Labs, and he even went as far as agreeing to take Biochemistry in the Fall with me. So here I am, my last easy semester is before me. I will try to enjoy it with every waking moment, although there are some things that will--err have distracted me. It's a bit cliche, but you guys out there know where i'm going to go with this, but i'm not going to reiterate anything I've said in previous posts (sound familiar? Heh). Whats new....Well I took some financial aid money and bought a gym membership. Believe it or not, premeds, the best place besides the library that I have found to study is the gym! Take note and try it out sometime. Yeah you're probably saying the same thing to yourself when I mentioned that I studied at McDonalds. But a lot of premeds are not active, and being active is as important as studying! I get on the cardio machine, whip out my Chem 2 book and go to town on that thing. I even go as far as highlighting important information that I feel will be useful. Of course this method of studying is only good for qualitative material only. Quantitative material is definately meant for sitting work. By studying while exercising you allow more blood to flow, you feel more relaxed, and yes i'm going there, it makes you feel all around good! Exercising addictive? Yes to me it is, I cannot stand going through life without it. If I dont exercise I feel sluggish and icky (yes I just said icky), and trust me, I feel that way now. My friends stopped going to the gym so I have been stuck playing video games through Christmas break. I know i'm such a slacker! Give me a break though, I'm getting back to it. I'm going to make this into an experiment and call me crazy, but i'm also going to try and publish it! I need to be studying now....I'm going to look around online for some Sparknotes for Chemistry and put it in my Chemistry folder. I know this is what I do at night if i'm not studying, i'm such a loser. I've developed a daily schedule and I must discipline myself to follow it. Here it is:
