So I think my immune system is finally starting to do its job by kicking whatever I've got's ass. I don't have many flu symptoms left anymore-my only issue is the coughing. Even my post-nasal drip issue is starting to work its way out of my body, so all I really have to do is (I would think) cough up what mucus is left in my chest, get a little sleep, and the flu should be kicked.
I decided last night that I don't really want to get a minor in business stuff, so I'm not going to do that. I'm going this summer to just take the history and japanese classes and work in the lab. I'm going to start putting my grad apps together, work, and save more money.
The money thing is going to have to be a big point of focus for me over these next couple of semesters, because I basically have like $400 to my name right now. I would like to use my own money to pay for what's left of my college for this summer, so I will probably have to save around $800, I hope. That should be doable. Then in the fall, I would only have more languages, maybe a biology elective or two, and my history thesis, and the undergraduate part of my life is done. Scary...
In MASSIVELY exciting news today, I got my first biostats test back (you know, the one I can't remember taking) and I got a 104 on it!!! Overwhelming excitation comes over me at the thought that I have once again resumed my role as a curve-buster.
All the grading I have left to get back this week is my last biochemistry quiz and my genetics lab that I turned in last week, both of which I should at least get an A on. Hopefully. I could use some A's.
There's been a lot of talk around about how grades are really inflated nowadays, and I certainly think that in some cases it's true. However, I have to claim, fully and completely, that I have earned every last A that I've gotten, except maybe one or two where I probably should have gotten an A- instead (that Kant and the Enlightenment class being my leading candidate).
I hope that my record shows the amount of effort that I have put into my education and how much I deserved my grades.
This semester will probably be the one that I work the hardest and the first where I still come up short. My thesis is a nagging example of how unlikely it is for me to maintain a 4.0. If, somehow, I do manage to keep my A's, then I should have no trouble getting into grad school, and any rejection will be completely unwarranted.
Tonight I have a genetics lab to finish, and some much needed sleep to get. I know I should work on it right now, but I really don't want to do so.
Um, I should though. Bye.
