Tuesday: classes start

I didn't sleep all that well last night.  There were several small stressors running through my head, along with classes starting, and having more lunches to make in the morning than normal.  Were those the things that woke me up at 4:30am though?  No.  I was worried about dinner.  What were we going to have for dinner?  Tacos.  Have I made tacos lots of times?  Yes.  But I was very worried that I needed to do some prep for tacos in the morning before work.  I told myself it would be fine!  No, I disagreed with myself.  However, at 4:30am and only partially awake it is really hard to reason with oneself.

Classes started fine.  I had a person from CIT come for the last 20 minutes to help get all the laptops set up.  We of course sent several emails ahead of time, but not everybody reads them.  It was nice she was there - I'm hoping to avoid all the "I can't get this to work" over the next few weeks.

During rock climbing I mostly succeeded on a route that I haven't even managed to start in the past.  I had to use two holds from a different route, but I was still really excited.  The routes on the tower are rather hard levels right now, so we tried some 5.10+ routes.  We got half way up two of them and couldn't start a third.  However, this is the first time we've tried such hard routes so that was exciting.
