Well, I'm at Regis right now, waiting for Denver traffic to calm down. Unfortunately, most of my friends were pretty busy today as well all of my old professors, so I kind of feel like this trip was a little bit unfulfilling.

Anyways, this weekend brought some successes, like getting all together in Genetics, generally for the next two weeks, studying for this weeks quiz, finishing compositions (well, writing, I still have to edit it and such). But I just don't know that it was as fruitful as it could have been, as the time that I spent up here and playing Medieval Total War probably could have been put to better uses trying to figure out how my Chem lab is all screwy, getting ahead on our next worksheet in Methods class, compiling notes, etc.

I'm actually feeling kind of bleh right now with some kind of a light headache and that general feeling that a cold might be coming on.

I am still wishing that analytical chemistry might disappear, but it's almost impossible to get the Chemistry degree without it. I would basically be taking nothing but biochemistry stuff and my one physical chemistry course, so the only reason I intend on finishing the course is simply for the sake of having a somewhat credible degree.

I have some general worries going into this week. Next week is one of those calm before the storm things, as I have a genetics exam and a quiz in physical chemistry.

Based on these first two weeks, I think my easiest classes are going to be French and Physical Chemistry, with the two immunologies and biochemistry following. Of moderate difficulty will be history and genetics, and then of near impossibility will probably be Spanish and A-Chem.

Stupid stupid A-Chem.

I think I might actually be in a sort of jeopardy with my GPA this semester, mainly because I'm doing a lot more advanced work and a lot more independent work that requires me to find sources everywhere. I look forward to the calm of next semester, which will consist of two language classes, a philosophy thesis, biochem II, and some other biology elective, and either my logic requirement for philosophy or a history class in all probability. With P-Chem II off the radar, there is a shining light to the end of this semester.

I just don't know. There's a lot of leniency in many of my grades with extra credit opportunities abounding in methods and genetics, and some leniency in biochem, physical chem, and French.

But still.

Well, I think traffic has calmed down enough for me to get to C-470 and to get some gasoline someplace, since I have like, none now.
Back to the springs.
