I love my 1994 Subaru, but it has its quirks. The air conditioner works most of the time, but on Sunday when I was moving the cat to Parker it decided not to work. As I descended the hills I realized the air temperature was increasing and the cat was beginning to pant, so I turned the AC on, no problem. The problem was that I needed fuel, when I turned off the car to get gas that was the end of it. From Boulder to C-470 we were without AC, the cat was yelling because the bumping of the windows freaked her out and without the windows open the car was just too hot. Fortunately I was persistent at trying the switch and it finally turned on. The rest of the move happened without incident.
Early Monday I woke up ready for the first day of orientation. I had felt a flood of other emotions but had yet to be nervous. As I got in my car to drive to school (because I do not yet know the bike route) I became so nervous that I almost went back inside. The day was inconsequential, a lot of talks about how the curriculum works and how the next 4 years of my life are going to be ruled by school.
The school itself is housed in a brand new, state of the art building where each lecture is recorded and posted on a website to recall later. It is a block schedule with the firs unit being Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms, basically all of undergrad molecular and cellular biology in six weeks. I am so excited! In addition to the block portion of the schedule there are clinical medicine classes that extend through the whole semester. The schedule looks pretty packed right now and so we will see how chaotic it really is!
So I am glad you had the moment of indecision when you got into the car and I am not surprised by your choice. If you did not have the moment of fear I would be worried. This only shows you are conscious of what you are about to embark on. Butterflies in the belly are a good thing :-) . Glad the cat is doing better, we miss her fluffiness.
