Shoreview

Today was the last day before classes.  My main goal for the day was to fix my class schedule.  Registration was a bit difficult last semester.  Not as difficult as UNCC, but still a bit annoying.  Mostly because they don't let you register between their select window and the add/drop period, which I wasn't prepared for as they don't restrict you from doing so at UNCC.  I also was able to see a lot of people I have not seen in a month.

Up here in Minnesota, I train at Lee's Champion Taekwondo in Shoreview.  It's a ways away from Macalester, so it's often difficult to get there, but I usually get rides from people when possible.  For my first class at this dojang, I made the mistake of trying to take the bus there, and the bus doesn't go all the way there, so I had to run for a good portion of the way.  For that reason, and because they don't do weekend classes, I don't get there as often as I would like to.  Last semester, I used that time to familiarize myself with things on campus that I had a better chance of walking to.  This week, I have been trying to get there more before my schedule gets too complicated.  They have a very good community though, and I enjoy training with them when I can get there.  Today I went to sparring class with them.  I normally have a night class on Wednesdays unfortunately...

I just realized that this post is coming in after midnight EST, but that's what my sleep schedule and trying to hitch a ride back from Shoreview does.  Yikes.  Well, if in the future I don't get enough sleep, then my schedule is conveniently placed well enough to allow for afternoon naps.
