A FIRST!

So for the first time in a million years, it's a weekday and I'm posting on before 9 PM.
I have a need to do so right now because I'm on the edge of unleashing violent tendencies on inanimate objects, my specifically my analytical chemistry books and I would prefer not to do so since I spent so much money on them in the first place.

So today has been very frustrating. Immunology not so much, mainly because I only went to one immunology class. The stuff we did in the morning one was exactly the same as the stuff we did in the afternoon one, so Lisa, one of the instructors, told me not to come. This gave me an amazing opportunity to actually enjoy eating my lunch (saving this freaking annoying bee that would not leave me alone).

However, the analytical chemistry has been much less helpful. The class is pretty much painful to sit through, between my teacher doing this thing where he explains something, then at the end squints and nods thereby driving me insane. Not to mention that he seems to just have this totally pompous attitude that says "I know everything about analytical chemistry and it's the most important thing you'll ever learn, and if you don't get it then you fail at life." My main response is obviously that the man cannot round.

The lab is equally as frustrating. Today we had this lab where we had to graph a whole bunch of stuff and I was having a hard time getting the differentiation to work out on one of the problems, and so she's walking around the room and says "oh, that doesn't look right" and I say "I know, I'm having a hard time figuring out what I did" and so I'm starting to show her and she goes "Well I don't know what you want me to tell you. If you need help, go to this other person."

Essentially, she is a lot like my professor, expecting perfection when it's obvious that I cannot give perfection. She is the quinessential opposite of my biology professor who stumbles on herself trying to help you whenever you have a problem and tries to work with you to get better.

Analytical Chemistry is definitely this field that says "you must understand everything I tell you the second I tell it to you, otherwise, you suck".

This semester is going to be very long and very painful thanks to the bravado of analytical chemistry.

My first semester analysis of my courses based on how much I like them:
BIOL 391-Immunology
BIOL 409-Methods in Immunology
SPAN 425-Latin American Civilization
FR 101-Intro to French
BIOL 481-Biochemistry I
HIST 411-Medieval Europe
BIOL 383-Genetics
CHEM 451-Physical Chemsitry
CHEM 417-Analytical Chemsitry.

Thank goodness for a long weekend this weekend.
