So far, I am pleasantly surprised with my progress with homework for the next week. This will give me ample time to do assignments which are massively hugenormous.

Today will definitely provide opportunities to get ahead, as I only have three classes today, one of which I have already attended. My goals for today are:

Do Ancient Egyptian History reading for tomorrow and next Tuesday (about 100 pages)
Do Pre-Lab II for Chemistry Lab
Do Homework III for Chemistry Lecture

Once I finish all of that, I can get a head start on my case study for physiology, or I can make a map of civil war battles West of the Mississippi for this Tuesday's presentation. I have a lot of confidence in this presentation, because the group last week did NOT set the bar high at all (they basically made it up looking out of the book), and I'll get all kinds of primary sources, maps, and pictures that will basically kick ass.

Right now, this is my homework this weekend:
Civil War Presentation/Paper
Physiology Case Study and Read CH 7 (Endocrine system, YAY!)

I seriously will have some opportunities to get ahead for next week too then, as I can do all of my late week homework and maybe get a start on the homework a week after that. Or I can get started on some research for my first Ancient Egyptian History paper. I finally decided what I wanted to write about, namely, how the Egyptian search for order was essentailly the founding element of their society. The second one will probably have something to do with the transition from the Old Kingdom to the Middle Kingdom, and the final one will look at the decline of their society to the Greek, Persian, and Roman empires.

I think that I can be a little confident right now in my school getting ahead-ness. At the end of this week, I can post my first guaranteed grades in a few classes (ecology and ancient Egypt have no grades yet).

I looked online and Celtic Woman is coming to Denver this year! At first their tour didn't include Denver, but they decided that they're going to round out their US tour in Denver for the second straight year (sweetness) on like May 23. I'm totally going. I should have enough money in my paychecks to pay for it, not to mention most of my summer semester bill. Right now, I think I'll probably take my Humanities requirement, a history class, my second physics class, and biochemistry.

As I get ahead, I'll eventually consider getting another job.
If I were to learn another langauge, these are the options I would select: Latin (because I already took one semester), Gaelic (due to listening to Celtic Woman), Italian (because it's the same thing as Spanish basically, I took a placement test based on my Spanish knowledge and placed into a 211 level class), German, and something in East Asia.

Sometimes being a Renaissance man is a good thing, sometimes it sucks.

Time to work. Excelsior in progress.
