evaluation time

Okay, time to figure out if I can handle all this shiz-nit.

Here's what I want for next year:

- Keep up in my classes:
Fall semester
College Physics I (4 credits)
Linear Algebra (3 credits)
Genetics + Genetics Review (5 credits?)
Physiology (4 credits)
Spring semester
College Physics II (4 credits)
Biochemistry (3 credits)
Histology + Lab (4 credits)
Honors Thesis Prospectus (1 credit)
Spanish Medical Terminology?
MCAT Review course

- Be Honors Program Student Organization President

- Be J/F Hall President

- Get my black belt by the end of next school year, plan a mini tournament for our club, do some other fun stuff... and not screw up the finances :)

I "get" to talk to the wonderful and oh-so-personable Mrs. Ruit on Tuesday, where she'll proceed to tell me that I need to get more patient contact experience, that I have to get a perfect score on the MCAT, and all the other things that she's told me a million times before. Maybe there'll be something more. Can I do it all? I guess that's why I'm going to talk to her. I'd rather get some input from you guys, though.

My Spanish paper is almost done, which takes a load off my mind. I think the worst part of a Spanish paper is just getting it started. After that, sure, it takes time, it's not easy, but at least I've got direction by then.

And now, time to do a little quimico organico. Or Organic Chemistry, for you non-Spanish speaking peeps. Hasta luego, muchachos.

barfy surprises

Life is normal again, somewhat. The Coldplay concert was excellent, but that was to be expected. Getting to know April's parents and brother was also very awesome. Forgetting to take along medicine, however... not so cool. And then starting meds again and having my body react by throwing up everything in my stomach... blehhhh... Done with that.

Today's been a catch-up day in too many ways, and there's still more to do. I have mega work in Spanish to catch up on, about four chapters in my Honors book to read, and then I need to start making sense of everything that's gone on in the last two weeks in Organic. And, of course, the thrice-weekly DPsych workbook assignments that take 1 1/2 to 2 hours to do.

On that note... I guess I have a lot to do. Maybe there'll be time for fun this weekend.

time to do laundry

Don't you hate coming back from the shower just to find out that not only are you almost out of underwear, but the only socks you have in the drawer are those ugly knee-highs? Yeah, it's one of those days. It wouldn't be so bad if doing laundry didn't cost so dang much. I could combine the towels and the dark clothes, but then the dark clothes get all linty. And if I put the towels in with the whites, then my clothes come out in a weird greenish blue tint. So, three loads it is.

Enough of that nonsense. Valentine's Day was Valentine's Day... I enjoyed it, but I kind of wish that we could celebrate it on more than just one overemphasized day. Something about getting flowers on a day besides V-day or one's birthday... that would be nice. I mean, umm, that wasn't supposed to be a hint. :) I now have excessive amounts of chocolate, which means me = getting pudgy unless friends(chocolate) = gone. So, feel free, PLEASE take some. Otherwise things could get ugly. Like my socks.

Okay, off to do laundry. Hasta martes, cuando yo volvera al concierto de Coldplay en Omaha!!

what a bother

Everything is PISSING ME OFF right now. Damn it. I want this fricking homework to be done, and I don't see any purpose in writing up two and a half pages (single-spaced, mind you) on what characteristics these babies are expressing in these certain stages of development. Stupid babies.

I didn't get the NCC position. Something about me being too old for the position, I think. (When was 19 too old for anything?? I can't even drink, and I'm considered too old. Strange, you think? Me too.) Or the fact that I had my arms crossed in the interview. (Well? I was kind of nervous!! It was better that I do that than having my leg spasm from my jitteriness.) Whatever. If they don't want me, they can't have me.

And I'm seriously not that upset, it's just a bad combination of circumstances. It usually works that way. Everything goes fine for a long time, and then all of a sudden, a whole bunch of crap happens within the span of a day. Maybe it's just lack of hormones right now. We'll blame it on that, I guess.

Time for bed. I'm actually going to go to sleep at a decent hour. But that's only because I'm giving up on this homework and just promising myself that I'll do it before 10am class tomorrow. Night, all.

don't be tricked

The weekend was good, but now I contemplate the studying that I need to do before that test Tuesday.

And, ah, what else is new... I submitted an application for UND Association of Residence Halls NCC, or National Communications Chair. We'll see if I'm good enough for it... I definitely want to do it, at least. You know, I'm so fed up with the people who go around campaigning themselves on the basis of their involvement in numerous organizations. But when you actually look at the organizations they're supposedly "immensely" involved in, you realize, "Wait, I've never even seen them involved in this..." It's so frustrating that we so often accept what is pasted in front of our eyes and forget to look at the underworkings of this world... There are so many people who build our communities, yet the only ones who are recognized are often the ones that deserve the recognition the least.

Just a thought.

I'm tired, so goodnight.
