Omg omg omg omg omg omg omg.

"Hi Raymond, would you please come by and introduce yourself to me today (Monday); the Cell Biology Award for the 06/07 school year is a tight race. Tom"

I just got this in my email. Holy crap. I might actually get the best in Cell Bio award. I doubt I will, because it's a tight race, and I have a nagging propensity to fail at tight races. Ray's really good when he absolutely surges, but if someone else is on my ass, I tend to choke. Anyways, I'll be going there after my chem test, so yeah, heart attacks abound.

Anyways, besides that freaking me out, I also have a chemistry exam in like, two hours, that's really starting for freak me out. I think I know it, but them again, I'm not sure that I know it, sort of a thing. At this point, I don't care about the period table scope, even though it would be nice to have one.

I've finshed nearly all of my work for the rest of this semester (serious yayness). All I have to do is to type two things for physiology, one physics homework, and to write my last essay for Ancient Egyptian History. Then there are on top of that my 8 finals that I have to do...belch on that.

GAH! Stress.

Two weeks left? HUZZAH!

I personally think that "huzzah" is a seriously cool word.

Anyways. The semester is coming to its natural conclusion and thigns are starting to come together. I've got my guaranteed A in Organic Chemistry Lab, which makes me quite pleased. Now I only have to worry about 26 hours. Of those 26 hours, I am especially concerned with 7 hours. I got an 8.5/10 on my last physiology lab which REALLY irritated me, the good thing is that this last lab is mostly multiple choice/matching/easy definition stuff, so I should be able to get a 10/10 on that one. I think I will do pretty well on my last case study, which I definitely need. I have only gotten one A- out of four case studies, so that bodes well, but I am not going to underestimate this final exam.

Today I have some plans of constructiveness. I already did my last prelab for Ochem, which is hotness, and I don't have to buy a new labnotebook which is twice the hotness.

I still plan on doing my physics homework (two to go, seriously), typing up my tenth and final physiology lab, and doing the anthropology extra credit for Monday night. Tomorrow=Massive studying for Ochem exam and doing my last case study of the semester. With that done, I can basically devote the rest of the week to preparing for finals (writing study stuff) and doing my final essay for Egyptian History.

Based on my experiences this semester, this is the order of my fav classes:
1. Cell Bio
2. Civil War
3. Ochem
4. Ochem lab
5. Physiology
6. Egypt History
7. Ecology
8. Physics
9. Anthropology

And, I don't know if I mentioned it, but I changed my schedule again. I'm not going to mention anything regarding my schedule beyond this until Wednesday when I register, because I'm pretty sure things will change.

Other than that, I think I have some optimism regardign getting things done for this semester. Unfortunately, I cannot kill off any classes until next Monday. Boo.

Wrapping Up

Yes, this semester if finally starting to get some finality to it. After today, I should have my first guaranteed A for the semester, in Organic Chemistry Lab. It took pretty much 100 days to get there, but I have finally gotten myself a guaranteed A. That's fundamentally exciting.

The unfortunate thing is that there's nothing else anywhere near an A right now. After Monday, I should be at an A- in Organic Lecture. Everything else is right now at high C levels, except for ecology, which is at a 69.5% (ARGH!) and Cell Bio which is at like a 68% level.

I'm still freaking worried about physiology. I am at a 92.98% right now, and rounding doesn't happen. That's not fun.

Last night was a Grey's Anatomy night, and I was genuinely saddened by all the crap that Addison has to go through on that show. In the scenes for next week, it shows her flying away at break-neck speed going someplace totally different. I have to admit that that is something I have always wanted. To be able to go someplace not knowing anyone. The thought of getting away from everything for weeks at a time is somewhat invigorating, but, in all practicality, I know that it's pretty much impossible.

Maybe it's that I've been here pretty much non-stop for the last year, but I am feeling hte urge to just go someplace and not come back for a long ass time.

I hate being poor.

Bad Updater, bad

I am such a terrible updater now. I used to be so good with like 4 updates a day, and now I'm lucky if I can get in 4 chances to write per week.

My Reconstruction essay somewhat turned out. I'll be happy if I get a B, to be honest, because the topic was just so heavy that I don't think I wrote well about it. Blah. I'll find out next Tuesday.

I am somewhat in shock because for the first tiem this semester, I don't have this overwhelming burden that's driving me insane. I mean, I have a Chem lab and the Chem lab practical tomorrow, but that's not really anything big. It's just 50 points, and I'm already pretty much guaranteed to get an A- in the class, aka, I don't need to work THAT much to get an A.

I also have two little things due next week, with a Chem Exam (little because I only need to get a 65%) and a Case Study due. That should not be too difficult.

I've ordered resources on my final Egyptian History essay, and final essay for the semester. Yay for final essays!

Boo for final exams. I can't believe that I have nine finals. Last semester, I had...one. Going from one to nine is a big jump. I didn't have that many when I was at Regis either...I think. I had four first semester, and three second semester.

I don't really have much that personal to talk about. I might later when I'm not procrastinating on getting ready to go to school today. Not in the mood to be there all day today....

Reconstruction? That's what my essay needs

So my Reconstruction paper sucks major monkey balls. I mean like hugenormous monkey balls the size of Atlanta. I've edited it twice (actually three times, if I think about it), and it's not much better. I feel like my support for my thesis is so truncated, but I cannot help it that much. I managed to get it down to 7 pages, which is just one over the limit, but I still have to go into that damn thing and toss out some more extraneous info, then I have to go into it and add my citations and quotes. That should knock me back up to 8 pages, but that's a lot better than before. I'm too tired to do all of that tonight, so I'll do it tomorrow.

I've already decided that I'm probably not going to go to Cell Bio tomorrow, because people will just complain about the test. However, if I can get a lot of this quote and other stuff done tomorrow morning and before cell, then I'll probably go. I cannot skip ecology for the tea of China, and in AEH we should be getting our Final exam review stuff, so I want to get that. I may leave a little early to work on the essay and just not go to OChem. I dunno. I'll wing it as I go.

I'm having another scheduling catastrophe, of course, because it's me. I decided to dump the physics minor, because I have no use for it, so I'm not going to take Calculus III or Physics III. That gives me three more free credit hours, but there's not much opportunity for me to take something. I have been thinking about dumping critical thinking and taking a third lanugage, but I just don't know. This summer, I will be getting rid of my stupid Humanities requirement though, which gives me IMMENSE pleasure. Actually, after this semester, based on my four majors and one minor, I will only have like 27 hours left that I have to take, so I think I'll probably shoot for graduation next fall so that I can work throughout the Spring (maybe do some more independent study) and save some money.

I am freaking exhausted, so I'm going to bed.

If only my Reconstruction essay could quote itself and cite itself.

I'm done with a first draft! YAY!

Now I only have to edit it (put in quotes, citations, etc. and toss two pages of extra crap. SHIT).

Basically my tonight and tomorrow are going to suck.

Procrastination Works, I Swear

Given the title of my post, you can tell what I'm doing. YAY for doing things at the last minute!
Case in point: My Civil War paper. I'm having such a hard time collecting my thoughts and getting everything out of my mind in some coherent manner which would help me get an A on this paper so that the final is a low stress environment.

I have about three pages right now, and it needs to be between 4 and 6. Though that sounds good, I have two paragraphs that take up those three pages. I'm supposed to be writing about the Republican vision of free soil, free labor, and free men, and basically what I've got is what the original message meant (end of slavery because it's unadvantageous to whites for whom wages must be doled), and what Lincoln did for that slogan in the Civil War. I still have a TON to do, because I have to talk about what Congress did to provide a legal basis for Reconstruction's efforts to create a system of equality and how they eventually pulled out their support for blacks because of economic changes (Republicans became involved in railroads, the Panic of 1873, etc.) and that people needed a scapegoat, and blamed the nation's troubles on blacks. They then voted Democratic which enabled whites in the South to overthrow the Republican governments in the South, governments which were totally fulfilling those promises. It's just, getting all the ideas, the evidence, the citations, and all is a pain in the ass. The fortuante thing is that I really have nothing to worry about besides this essay between now and Tuesday.

So I'm on here, discussing my bland life. I have no new grades to report, no new aspirations, but rather just the insistence that I need to work.

Well, I think what I'll do is write about the early successes of Reconstruction, take a break, and then talk about how the North bailed.

I have to say blah right now, because I let myself get caught unaware, somewhat. Namely due to a quiz in chem today, a test in physics today, and an essay in civil war and reconstruction due tuesday. I did the quiz already and I have the test in about an hour. Then I have to go to work, come home and start coming up with something for my essay (I have nothing now). After that, fortunately, things start to go downhill, with only two tests and an essay due outside of my finals, but suffice it to say, my joy from the Cell Bio test yesterday is officially gone.

I realized that I have to go to Anthro on Monday because we have a quiz (boo). Argh. I hate that class so much. At least there are only three sessions left, one of which is basically the final (aka, an hour long).

I got a work-study award for summer for 1000, but the question is whether I'll even use it.

I'm starting to stress out about this test. I feel like there are a lot of things I don't know. It's ok that I can get like an 80% and still be at an A level.

My mind is going out the window. La ti da.

Sigh of Relief

Today has been, by most standards, pretty ok. My sister took my car to her learning link thing today, so I have had to rely on secondary means to move around at all today from home to school and back again. Normally this would not irritate me, but my sister has the propensity to give me little gifts I don't want, like an air freshener for my car or a frappuccino instead of paying me gas money, which is what I would frankly prefer.

Anyways. Ecology was nothing terribly exciting. We got out tests back, and I missed really stupid crap (something on home ranges and something on eusociality) that I didn't even think to study.

History, for the second time, was an adventure into Greek literary techniques. The problem is that we're supposed to be learning about Egypt, about 800 years before the Greeks conquer Egypt. I swear, my professor cannot stay on topic, despite the fact that he's incredibly intelligent. Two days to talk about the Epic Greek Cycle, which is not Egypt, despite his intelligence is inappropriate. I've resolved myself to not taking any more ancient history because I don't want to have to put up with such distraction again.

Then I had a massively huge break, where I had to dodge people selling root beer floats because I had no lactose pills. However, this did not stop me from getting breadsticks, fruit, and cottage cheese (which has lactose in it anyways, and from which I am suffering right now) for lunch. Lots of roaming around and stuff to waste time. I have to type my civil war notes from the other day for someone in the class tonight, which I don't mind doing.

Then Cell Bio. OMG. It was like watching an American Idol kick off episode where there is all this suspense. He kept bringing up the tests which he would not let us see until the end of class. I was going to lose my mind, and my bladder, if he kept it up. The average was a 75%, there was a 5 pt curve (which led me to believe the worst), and all this other suspense stuff, and so we get it back, and like all the tests I saw were 75%, 78%, 56%, 66%, 80%, and I was all "shit dood" until I saw mine. "95 Highest Score-GOOD JOB!" Omg. If only there were like little cell scopes that he gave out, I would have gotten one. I was absolutely stunned, shocked, whatever you want to say, that I got a 95%. That is SUPER for me. I mean, talk about a confidence booster. I mean, I've really established myself so far this semester in Cell, with a 100% on the quiz, a 99% on the last test, and a 100% on this test (after the curve). If he knew my name, maybe he would like me.

Other than that, I have nothing of much interest to relay to society. ha ha ha. That was totally a queer line. Obviously I'm tired.

I still have a lab to do for tomorrow (BOO!) in chemistry. I obviously don't care.

Grey's Anatomy is new tonight! w00t.

Weird

I'm in this weird mood to have along and involved post, despite the fact that there is fundamentally nothing of interest in my life worth mentioning.

I have changed everything again class-wise, which should not be a shock to anyone. This summer, I'm only going to do Calculus III and Physics II. I think I may have mentioned this already. Yep, I did. Never mind.

So things are starting to slide downhill. I only have to go to Chemistry Lecture now for the Quiz on Friday and the Exam on the 30th of this month, plus the final. There's just absolutely no motivation in any fiber of my being to do seriously productive work. Sure, there are dinky-ass things to do, but I have no motivation to study or to do my final two essays for Civil War and Ancient Egypt. I have slightly more for Egypt than Civil War, because the topic I chose is somewhat more interesting (I'm going to do something about how Egyptian decadence led to its occupation by Rome).

I did get my last AEH essay back, and of course I got an A.

Actually this semester has been much stronger with A's than last semester. I have not gotten anything less than an A this semester in OChem, and last semester I had a few B's here and there. I've gotten nothing less than an A in all of my history classes, and pretty much all of my essays were A-'s in History last semester. Cell Bio is so far doing well (we'll find out after the next test), and aside from my catastrophe of an exam in Ecology, I am excelling in ecology as well. Physiology is pretty not so hot though. That's really the only class where I'm sucking.

I'm so used to the feeling that there's so much to do that right now I'm actually quite blah, which is really sad.

I'm thinking about dumping Biochemistry Principles and waiting next semester to take it (so that I don't have to go to school at 8 AM) and taking Immunology instead, even though I really don't have much of an interest in Immunology.

Mondays and Wednesdays would be hot because, even though I would have classes pretty much non stop, it's only 10:50 to like 5 PM.

I sometimes wish that I had a life, and I keep trying to convince myself that all this work is going to pay off at some point, but I know that it won't, because work does nothing any more. It's who I know, not what I know, and I know no one.

Not Important

This post is going to be terribly short, because I have just had nothing really interesting going on in my life. It's the slide time right now, as classes are just kind of meh. After next week, things are really going to be blah because there's just two things to do outside of finals, one test and one essay. The end.

I'm sure I can come up wit hmore soon. Hopefully, my posts are getting terribly boring.

By the way, Vancouver won again, which means we need one more win to get to the conference semi-finals, where we'll probably play Anaheim.

That's really all I have to say. Again, my life is so terribly boring.

Disappointing

Yes, the title of this post reflects the quality (what is quality?) of my recent posts.

I've been really weird for this whole week. Tuesday and Wednesday I was having really weird body things going on with random pains and numbness and tingling in my left leg, and I was scared that I might have had early symptoms of MS, but it turns out I was really low on potassium, because I ate three bananas (quite gross, really) and the next day I was fine.

I'm been kind of blah on school for a number of reasons. First, I can't put my finger down on what the fuck I'm doing with school. I keep switching things, thinking that I can do this or that or this or that, and it's freaking frustrating. There are things I know I want to do, like my four majors, plus my minors in physics and spanish, but there so many other things that I could want to do or try or whatever, and it's pissing me off.

I decided that in the face of such uncertainty, it would be wise to take only 8 hours over the summer, Physics II and Calculus III. In the Fall, I'm taking Physics III, Genetics, Plant Physiology, Biochemistry I, Biochemistry Principles, Early Modern Europe, Analytical Chemistry, Critical Thinking, and Spanish Grammar. Hopefully, I don't decide to change things again.

I think a lot of my problem is that I have so much potential, and I don't really want to do anything with it because it won't get me anywhere. I mean, the only way to get to the top nowadays is through money or sex, neither of which I have. My accomplishments mean nothing, frankly.

So, I had a pretty much terrible day where my lifespan is concerned (incredibly shortened today).

I won't go into too much depth, but essentially I forgot a ton of crap at home, came back to get it, went back to school, and forgot a whole bunch more stuff I needed.

Physiology test: 94%, meh.

I'm so tired I don't have that much to say.

Rebound (cont.)

I said I would post again later and here I am. Posting.

Anyways, the weather is in the current suck mode. It's stopped for now, but it's supposed to pick up again in like two or three hours, with ginormous winds.

Suffice it to say, I'm getting up at 5 AM so I can get to school before all the traffic goes out on the road. I'll try to leave by like 530, but there are no promises. That gives me plenty of time to cram for my physiology test and to actually do my notebook-pre lab stuff, print stuff and suck at life.

I however did not suck totally at my case study for physiology, because I got a 95% on it, which means I am like 0.3 away from an A.

I think I should do well on my test tomorrow. Will that happen. I dunno.

That's really all that I have to add.

Rebound!

So, Ray got a 96% on his ecology test. Um, HELL YEAH!

Although I don't have an exactly comfortable A, any kind of A is better than what I had before. This test basically erases my bad last test, and makes it where I have to get an 86% on the final to get an A in the class. Based on this last test, that is certainly doable.

I've been considering changing things around for the summer, but I'm not sure. I need to take Calculus III at some point, but I'm just not sure when. PPCC is offering it (in the boonies) at a time that is condusive to my schedule, and I don't have to transfer the hours to UCCS, I just have to have had Calculus III for Physics III.

I have a physiology test tomorrow which = non-fun. I realized that despite the fact that it's cardio, which I normally like, this test is going to suck because we have to memorize all these equations which suck.

So glad I'm not going into medicine.

Despite that statement, I read a totally cool article that talks about how they're thinking on curing autoimmune diseases by all these neat stem cell procedures, but they had to do it in Brazil because American doctors had no interest in these procedures, saying that they are really risky and that the future is in embryonic. I'm personally opposed to the embryonic ones because they're so unpredictable and so uncontrollable and I don't liek the idea of a stem cell with a different genetic structure than my own running rampant in my body.

Anyways, tonight is going to mongo suck because I have an ACS meeting at 4:30, which is about 2 hours after cell, and then I have to work from 5-7 tonight. Should I mention that it's snowing now? It's going to be major crap driving home.

That's life right now. I would update more, but it's time to go to cell.

Almost there

I've almost made it through my last two week hellish period. After this week, until finals, everything is spread out pretty evenly. Still, I cannot finish anything early this semester, which is somewhat troubling.

Well, I had my do-or-die ecology test today. Still no word on the actual grade that I got, however, I know that I at least got an A. There were only 5 that I was not sure of, and after the test, I don't know how I did on two of them, so I could have gotten anywhere between a 90 and a 100, to be honest.

A 100 would be SERIOUSLY nice. Seriously, because I desperately need to do well on this stuff to get an A in the class. Assuming I got an A, then it is possible that I can get a B on the final to get an A in the class, but I'm not going to worry about it until he posts my grade, which is not now.

This week still has lots of physiology to do, and it's basically the most important thing for the rest of this week.

I'm considering running for secretary for the SAACS this Thursday, but I think I want to wait and see how things pan out. If it looks like someone who has more chemistry knowledge goes for it, then I will wait on that.

I am so ridiculously tired, it's not even funny. As of today, I have gone 23 days straight going to bed after 11 PM and getting up at or before 6 AM. I know that's 7 hours of sleep, but I'm someone who functions on 8 hours, plus a caffeine addiction, which I have not adequately satiated today. I'm tempted to get some tea, and the fact that I have some food to go with it is good, because I drink massive like 32 oz of tea, and that much creates like an acid well in my gut and I have to eat something or I'll throw up. If Katherine reads this, then I apologize for my bluntess about t.u. here. If not, I don't care.

I want the weather to be warm, however, it's like 20 outside with the wind. aka, it's cold.
I want to start my plants but I can't yet. I have coleus, nasturtium, phlox, mint, and a couple other kinds I want to get going, but I can't with 1) bad weather and 2) school.

Yet, I aim to take 28 hours...again?

I'm still trying to decide between online genetics and humanities requirement. I think I might do the first one. Argh. I don't know.

I have Civil War in 45 minutes, and nothing to do (that's a lie) between now and then.

I don't really have a whole lot to talk about, but I do, and now I'm confused.

Bad updater, bad

So I am a terrible updater. I would update more, but my life is so lame, that I hardly have anything to discuss besides school and how I still want to go into Astrobiology.

School front: Organic Chemistry Exam III: 100% DAMMIT. I was only 2 points off from getting my scope. I've got one more shot.
Cell Bio test: Um, I don't know. THe professor has those kind of tests where you have no idea what the grade is, except that it's somewhere between 0 and 100.

Week to come: Ecology test on Tuesday, Case Study on Wednesday, Physiology exam on Friday.
Damn.

Next week's not too bright either, as I supposedly have a physics test, but I suspect that that will be moved, hopefully not to Friday. Chemistry quiz too, and a whole bunch of lab stuff.

My guaranteed grades have changed. I won't go into percents because I'm tired:
Organic Chem II: C+
Organic Chem Lab II: C-
Civil War: D
Anthropology: D
Physiology: D
Cell Bio: F
Physics: F
Egypt: F
Ecology: F

I've been looking at grad schools recently. These are my top three or four right now:

1. CU-Boulder
2. Penn State
3. Berkeley
4. Mich State

All of them are in the astrobiology program. Internship with NASA looks hot. Definitely going to apply next summer. I need to get some research though. I wonder if there's someplace else in town I could work to show interest.

Again, I am le tired. I would talk more, but meh.

Not studying for Chemistry

As noted in the title, I'm not studying for my chemistry exam. I should be doing this, but I am not.

I don't know why, I just am not.

Actually, I do know why, but I won't talk about it.

I registered this morning (YAY!) and got into the classes I need to take this summer. I'm taking Physics II, Landforms and Soils, and World Regional Geography. This, as I have mentioned, goes a long way towards finishing my geography minor (about halfway actually). I was going to take the climate and vegetation class, but the computer would not let me register for that, so I didn't fret too much.

Class this morning was somewwhat interesting, nothing worht screaming about. The rest of my classes this afternoon should be similar, with my OChem test and physics which is essentially blah.

Tomorrow is going to be a pretty BAD day as I have my Cell Bio test tomorrow. Although I don't have to enter panic mode just yet, a bad test score could kill me.

I still have a ton of work to do for the rest of this week,which is frankly upsetting. I would love to have some time off to do whatever the hell I want to do (aka sewing), but school intervenes. This may be good as my arm should be all better by next week when I may have some free time.

I must force myself to study chem. Forcing taking place now.

Improving

Today was a vastly improved day over yesterday for the following reasons:
1) I finished my Ancient Egypt History paper. It's pretty good. Not the caliber of my last paper, but still, pretty good.
2) I got the rest of my clicker points in organic chemistry lab
3) I got my midterm in Civil War back. Even though there's like a page and a half of comments on my stuff, I somehow got an A, with "oustanding work, as usual". This makes me both extremely pleased, but also somewhat agitated, because there's a level of expectation from me, but at the same time, the pressure on my final two assignments is much lower. If I get B's on both the final and the third essay, I would have an A in the class.

Tomorrow I have an organic chemistry test, about which, I unfortuantely do not care.
However, life goes on. I am le tired.

Mixed Bag

Today has been absolutely draining. After I post this, I intend to go to bed promptly.

I've had like the perfect mix of absolutely terrible and absolutely awesome today. I think I'll start with the awesome, because it's much less than the terrible.

1) I got a 103.5% on my physics test. I probably should have gotten like a 110%, had I not made one really big stupid mistake, but I am not going to complain about a 103.5%. This takes a huge amount of pressure off of me for the next two tests, as I have to get an 85% average on them to get an A in the class. Suffice it to say, I'm probably going to get an A in physics because of this test.

2) I got a 100% on my Anthro assignment, 5 bonus points of EC (which is a ton), and after a small curve on the midterm, I got a 100%. Awesomeness. I basically don't have to worry about this class too much, and he said that after this it's pretty much downhill.

3) I got some awesome CD's in at the library, including Yo-Yo Ma and Chloe. I would not have to get the latter, had our other computer not totally crashed.

4) My Ancient Egypt essay didn't suck as bad as I thought it would, and I think I have enough to get me at least a B+, with which I will be more than happy, given how much stress I have been under in the last couple of weeks and the next two to come.

5) I know I'm going to write about Egypt under Rome for my final essay because Rome is awesomeness.

These are the terrible things:

1) I actually did get an 88% on my physiology test because I skipped one question on the test, which, with a scantron, screws everything up. I would have gotten a 94%, but I missed like 6 points on my second test because my scantron was fucked up.

2) I still need to go over my ancient egypt paper tomorrow morning one more time before I turn it in.

3) I have two tests this week, still, in Cell Bio and Organic Chemistry. I don't really care too much about the latter, even though I would still love to get the mini-scope.

4) They fucked up the schedule by dumping Biochemistry this summer, so I'm rearranging everything. I decided that summer would be a good time to get rid of all the 100 level classes I have to take for Geography, so I have to ditch World War I. I'm not that big on WWI as I have done it extensively in HS. That would lower the number of hours for my minor to 10. I also have to change my fall schedule. I was going to take a 100 Geo in the Fall, but since I'm doing that this summer, I am dumping it for an upper division geography (either geopolitics or Mexico, Central America, and the Carribean) class so I can lower the classes I have to take for that minor to two, which for me are a cartography class and remote sensing. I take Biochem in the Fall, and bump research stats to another semester. This means that after fall, I have these requirements left:
Spanish: 6 Hours (Literary Analysis and a Culture class)
Geography: 7 Hours (Intro to Cartography and Remote Sensing)
Philosophy: 3 Hours (Senior Thesis and Seminar)
History: 6 Hours (U.D. Elective and Thesis)
Biology: 8 Hours (Biochemistry II, Research Seminar, Genetics, and other electives)
Political Science: 12 Hours (American Politics and 9 U.D. Electives)
Physics: 16 Hours (Calculus III, Physics III, Modern Physics, 6 U.D. Electives)
Chemistry: 5 Hours (Physical Chemistry, 2 U.D. Elective)
General Education: 3 Hours (Humanities 399)

After Spring, I intend to wipe out all of one of my minor requirements (probably Spanish), 8 Hours for Physics, and 8 Hours for Biology. I would do my seminar for philosophy if Cutter teaches it in the Spring.

5) I got an email saying that I basically suck and don't deserve scholarship money. So there goes $1000, and more poverty for me. I need a fucking job. I probably should consider working extra hours in the lang tech center so that I can get more money. I'll probably bail on physics at 4 on Wednesday so that I can get 3 full hours on Wednesday.

I think I'm becoming bipolar.

The End of Spring Break

So today is the last day of transition, and tomorrow begins the long, fast decline towards the end of the semester.

I am obviously not doing anything that I should be doing because I am the epitome of lameness. I keep saying that after these next two weeks, I should have a really good idea how the rest of this semester is going to turn. However, despite this certainty, I am not working towards a better conclusion to this semester.

Since Wednesday, I have not done enough to get this semester into perfect shape. Make the comparison between two weeks from now and now:
NOW TWO WEEKS
CHEM 332 56.87% 71.88%
CHEM 334 58.76% 72.00%
BIOL 302 34.04% 67.15%
BIOL 321 58.89% 76.67%
BIOL 370 50.00% 75.00%
HIST 300 25.00% 50.00%
HIST 453 60.00% 60.00%
PES 111 60.00% 60.00%
ANTH 104 50.00% 62.25%

Suffice it to say that the next two weeks are going to be the most important two weeks in the rest of the semester with the obvious exception of finals week. Yet I still am sitting in front of this computer not working on Ancient Egypt Essay, not studying for chemistry, not studying for cell biology, not studying for ecology, not writing anything for physiology. Nothing. I am doing nothing but bitching on the computer.

I absolutely have to get my first editing of my terrible essay done tonight because I will have to spent pretty much all of my free time tomorrow, plus whatever I won't be paying any attention to in physics and anthropology tomorrow.

I think that now's an appropriate time to start a countdown:
ANTH 104: 6 sessions remain
HIST 453: 6 sessions remain
CHEM 334: 10 sessions remain
HIST 300: 11 sessions remain
BIOL 370: 11 sessions remain
BIOL 302: 11 sessions remain
BIOL 321: 13 sessions remain
PES 112: 12 sessions remain
CHEM 332: 16 sessions remain

In all of this, 43 days. Dammit. I wish school was closer to being over for this semester.
