Lessons learned this semester

Here is what I learned besides the classroom stuff.

1. Take only one massive graphics intensive class at a time.  If there is overlap don't do it.
2. There is a good reason that you are feeling wigged out in the classroom. The PTSD is no joke to deal with, you now know the spatial triggers, take steps to make sure you don't get in a trigger loop.  
3. Weather permitting, take the bike.
4. Take a meal. you need to eat more than you have been. 
5. Do the gym before class.  this means leaving house at 12:30. 
6. Life is much nicer for you when you have the food you like to eat ready to hand.  It is worth the effort having home baked cookies and lentil stew available to pack and go. 
7. Take your supplements.
8. Being upset is exhausting. Get your rest.
