I’m sure I am not alone when I say there are way too many Anthropology readings. My biggest concern at the moment is getting the readings done and finishing the reading responses. Ouch! My son just kicked my bladder. Aaron is due this summer, August 11th. My fiance and I can’t wait to meet to our son.

How is this semester progressing? It’s going well. I focus on getting my work done despite the constant exhaustion from this pregnancy and my part time job. Yay! Another kick, I love it when my son kicks. He and my belly are getting bigger every day.

My attention always goes towards my son after work and school.

I just can’t wait for the semester to be over so that I can start preparing for my son’s arrival.

Being exhausted is an understatement. I am currently going to school full time and working part-time as a receptionist, and to top everything off I’m pregnant with my first baby. I definitely have my work cut out for me. One thing that I am grateful for is the fact that I am not taking Art History like everyone else. I am exempt from it since I received a 5 on my AP Art History years ago when I was in High School.

Yes, I said years ago. I am older than most if not all the students in my classes. On Friday February 24, 2012 I turned 26. If you haven’t already you should wish me a belated birthday. I previously attended college, but dropped out in 2006. I attended the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 2004 to 2006. My goal then was to pursue a Physics degree with a concentration on astrophysics. Don’t believe me, feel free to ask for my MIT ID. I admit it, I’m quite the science nerd.

My second try at college, I’m pursuing a Math major. No surprise there, but ultimately I also want to fulfill premed requirements. My goal after undergrad is Medical School. I can’t wait to be called Dr. Chavez.

This is dependent on doing well in all my classes. I just had my first exam of the semester, calculus. I took calculus years ago in High School and MIT, so I’m pretty sure it went well. As for my other classes, there is no much reading, I get head aches and memorizing facts is going to be a bit difficult with my baby brain. Baby brain is a real condition that pregnant women get, in that their memory is affected. As a friend once told, “You gotta work it, honey.”
