Semester is over
I passed both my exams this semester! One of them I expected, but the other, more important one not at all because I knew it would at best be close and I didn't want to get my hopes up, so I'm surprised and delighted and had ice cream and cookies to celebrate. Now there's only one major exam remaining! (And a few smaller ones.) I might be able to finish in only two more semesters after all? I so look forward to being done - classes are interesting, but coming home from the office and not having to do any studying (like right now because of the summer holidays) is so much more relaxing.
I currently work 30 hours/week: 6 hours each on five days (plus overtime.) On the one hand I'd planned to do more overtime than usual over the summer, so I can hopefully do fewer hours when classes start again; on the other hand I'm tempted to try out only going to the office for four days and having a three-day-weekend. I'd have to get used to longer work days and it'd be harder to do overtime, but a longer weekend would be nice...
In medical news, I've often had low iron in the past, but turns out that now I'm actually anemic (and even lower on vitamin D than usual.) Which, weirdly, kinda feels like good news, because this was a routine test and I thought my energy level were at my normal, so this should mean that once those things are fixed I should feel even better, right? I look forward to it. And in the meantime, taking iron supplements is a great reason to drink orange juice every morning. (My physician also told me to go to bed earlier, let's see how long the resolution lasts this time.)

Harder to notice a dip in energy levels when I'm never sure what my base line is. I have been noticing concentration problems etc but that could be any number of things. I like the idea that it's the iron because that has a clear solution.
