Double duty reality check

Week one of officially working at the campus rec center while keeping up with anatomy and physiology is… a learning curve.

I thought I had time management figured out, but apparently adding actual work shifts to the mix changes everything. Who knew?

The job itself is great - I love helping students figure out their fitness goals and watching people discover they’re stronger than they thought. But coming home at 7pm and then trying to memorize the intricate details of cellular respiration? My brain feels like it’s running two different operating systems at once.

Jake’s been incredibly patient about me commandeering his desk every night. I keep promising I’ll clear it off after I finish this chapter, but somehow there’s always another chapter. At least the coffee’s good and the highlighters are color-coded. That counts as organization, right?

Tomorrow’s another early shift followed by a study session with Sarah. If I can make it through the weekend without mixing up muscle groups and workout equipment, I’ll call it a win.
