Today marks the first whole month of school I've attended since all this mess happened.
I'm have a busy, but not overloaded, course schedule and have classes Monday through Thursday, with dialysis on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I usually get out of dialysis a little before 2 pm, and I have class in Sacramento, about 30 minutes away, at 3. Sometimes traffic is good, sometimes it's not. That's just a game I have to deal with. I try to get something to eat in between that time too. If I don't, I wouldn't get to eat from somewhere between 9 am and 8 pm. Not good for a dialysis patient! Eating on Monday and Wednesday can be a bit of a struggle too in the sense that I'm not really suppose to eat fast food that often.
I'm glad to be back in school. It's so great to have something to do after having nothing to do for a year. I know I won't prefer that when all the work is piled on, but it's better than being miserably bored. I'm doing okay I suppose. This past month has been extremely exhausting for me though. I'm not used to being up and about and out all day long day after day. At the end of the day, I'm so worn out when I get home. Hopefully this will improve as I build my stamina back up. I guess I have an excuse with going to school and dialysis on the same days. Sometimes on Monday and Wednesday, I just want to put my head down and nap in class, having just gotten off treatment plus just eaten. Nap time please. Nope, no rest! I should probably learn to go to sleep much earlier at night than I do also though.
Sometimes I regret having to take so many classes my first semester back after my troubles, but I'm making it through. Hopefully I'll get adjusted soon and will power through. Now I just need some new music to listen to on the way there and back, hmm...
