It’s been forever since I’ve blogged. That has been due to a few reasons. First and the largest, summer classes. Damn physics. This is also most of the reason I’m so pissed off. I busted my ass in that class. I never missed a day, I made sure to take detailed notes, I read the book and did practice problems (even if they took me like two hours a piece), and I did all the homework. Yet I ended up getting a D in the class. I needed a C. I’ve been at this college thing for some time now. I’m going to be a senior. I’ve been taking full loads during the regular school year, and every summer picking up two classes at community college. Oh, I forgot to point that out. Along with having to take stupid physics, it filled up at the community college near me, so I had to take two damn buses, a half hour ride each way, to a community college that was far away from where I live. And the instructor sucked. I went to him a couple times to try and get helped, it was pointless. He didn’t explain any problems worth shit, just did them, didn’t explain the method. Plus whenever he taught he would skip around with problems and half the time didn’t even get the right answer when he was doing a problem on the board. Then when the quizzes and exams came the problems would be ridiculously long and complicated, and often they weren’t even like the problems in the book. The damn quizzes before labs, which were only a couple questions, ended up taking like a half hour to complete. Anyway, my point of all of this was that I now don’t get to graduate on time, after all the work I’ve been putting into school. It seriously pisses me off.

School is school, I will say that. I’m killing myself for school, but it’s not giving back. A couple weeks ago I probably put in close to 30 hours of studying within a week of my cell biology test. I was freaking out before I got to it, knowing I was going to fail. I get there, get the test, and I didn’t think it was that bad. I was expecting a C, a D at the worst. Ending up getting a 39. I’ve been busy with other classes, so I haven’t had time to look at the answer key they posted, but I’m kind of hating myself for not writing in pen. Had I written in pen I could have petitioned for a regrade. My reasoning for why I think I had points taken off when I shouldn’t have is because they grades around 150 tests, 6 pages all hand written answers, within 6 hours of the test being taken. I have trouble believing they really took their time to look over them carefully. But I’m stuck with that damn grade for that stupid class. The virology test I did the worst I was expecting. I was expecting a low B or C. I ended up getting a low C. It’s passing, but not what I wanted. So I’m going to have to figure out how to put more effort into that class. My first Japanese chapter test I got a high C. I didn’t like it, the past two semesters I never got below a B. I have the 2nd on Monday, then my midterm oral sometime this week and the written midterm the next Monday. My stupid INDV test…that was a fun day. I get to the bus stop, and something that never happens at that time of day happens- both spots on the bike rack are full. I needed to take my bike that day or I wouldn’t be able to get to classes in time. So I decided to wait for the next bus, since it would get me there about 10 minutes before class started, so I could get to the room about 5 minutes before the exam started. Well, something that has never ever happened in the many months I’ve been taking my bike on the bus- this rack is full as well. So I’m there, a few miles off of campus, with a test that starts in 20 minutes. The next bus comes in a half hour. So what do I do? I get on my bike and I pedal my ass off. I was about to give up about a mile in (I’m not in the best shape, but I’m not in the worst shape either. You try biking 3.5 miles up and down hilly streets), but there was no way I was going to miss the easy A test, so I kept going. With lights and everything I made it a couple minutes late, so I probably biked it in about 15 minutes. I got there and collapsed into my seat. The entire test I was having trouble because my hand was shaking from exhaustion. Wasn’t a fun day. Haven’t gotten the score back yet. I have tons of exams before spring break, but my next big one is microbial physiology. I can get an A on it. This professor, although a pompous ass, isn’t a complete asshole. There aren’t going to be any curve balls or trick questions. It’s very straightforward, so as long as I know the material front and back that we’ve gone over in class that A is mine.

Today has kind of messed me up. I keep thinking tomorrow I have microbiology lab, but I have chem lab. That’s because I keep thinking today is Sunday, not Wednesday. What also is messing me up is that the sun is setting so early now. I walked over to Boston Market around 4:50, got back around 5:10. I think the sun was already down by time I finished eating, around 5:50 or so, or whenever I looked out the window again. I thought it was a lot later than it was, and I was freaking out because I still haven’t started my lab report that’s due tomorrow. But in reality it’s not even seven yet. |

But I feel I need to address this somewhere. My obsession with Fullmetal Alchemist. I’ve been really down ever since this Sunday, when there was no new episode of FMA: B. I’ve found myself staring at my FMA walls scroll when I should be reading my microbiology book, or anytime I should be doing something else. And when chem has me stressed (which has happened a couple times in the first few days of school, and will undoubtedly happen MANY more times) I turn to FMA. I’m amazed I’m not watching the first series at this very moment, or turned to it at all this week. I’ve said many a time before (although maybe not specifically to anyone) that I’m a flippin FMA whore. It’s bad. I either need people to discuss it with or something, because I feel like keeping all my love for FMA in is going to make me burst, or do something crazy. I dunno. I don’t know if I want to even get into what I’d do or let happen to me if I could ever enter into the FMA world (which I believe might be a possiblity. The issue is finding and getting through to the other side of the gate fairly intact, because I wouldn’t mind a piece of automail. Except the pain of the surgery, that would hurt.) I’d be worried if someone who knows me actually saw this. With the exception of Megan of course, because I’m sure she has some freakish obsession like I do. So for now I’ll leave most of it in my head, because it’s probably safest there. |
