Major major trouble

Its almost time for advising and I am super nervous. I feel very confused about my interest in my major. I am a psychology major and I am SEVERELY bored in my psychology class. Surprisingly I am intensely fascinated in my biology lecture class. I wish that I better understood what careers are out there in the field of biology other than becoming a doctor or a lab scientist. My parents are both doctors and quite frankly, I don't think I am smart enough to become a doctor and I hate my lab class. I think I need to do more research on clinical psychology because the things that interest me most are how humans function, and how emotions and thoughts are chemical signals.

I know I don't have to figure it out today, i'm just the type of person who needs a plan to not get stressed out.

Monday

SO

Happy monday!

This week has been very nice and very quick, after colombus day break. Now it is going to start getting crazy. My p.e. class started last monday and I forgot to go on the first day, so today will be my first day. I feel pretty awkward about the whole thing because my teacher doesn't have a teacher e-mail, so after I accidentally missed the first day I called to find out a way to contact her. They gave me her personal email! Awkward! So I emailed her nonetheless and she never emailed me back. Even more awkward! I hope everything goes ok today! I have to be there at seven p.m. Its going to be veerryy chilly!

new meaning to the word fail

So, I just took my first lab practical. I BOMBED. I don't even know if I got half of the questions right. I don't know what I was thinking, but all I did was study my lab manual. It never occurred to me that maybe JUST maybe the test would be on the other experiments we did in class!!! Duh!!

The only parts of the lab practical that were in the lab manual were the parts of the microscope and one set of questions about fungi. FML! I am really sad because I was doing really well in my biology lecture class. I have straight A's on all the tests and quizzes in there. But biology lab is half of my grade so the average of a 60 and a 90 is a 75. That sucks! I can't even look at my notes to see what the right answers were. At least I will know what to expect on the next practical, the only problem is there are only two!! I should stop freaking out. A bad grade isn't the end of the world. Its just that I really want to transfer, and getting bad grades is no way to do that. I just need to get good grades in the other classes to balance out this one I guess..

and the beat goes on

Living off of pb&j isn't quite as miserable as you may imagine. You've go the sweet jelly, salty peanut butter, soft bread; and if you get the crunchy kind of peanut butter it's actually quite filling. Peanut butter is $1.89 jelly is a little more, and a loaf of managers special bread is only fifty cents. That and a big jar of apple sauce, and a 99cent gallon jug a sweet tea i'm set for the week! Life is good. Im very nervous about my lab practical on tuesday because I can't distinguish between things under a microscope much less tell you the difference between two microscopes. I'm beginning to worry the lab will drag down my whole grade! I know I can study to figure out the difference between two microscopes but i'm not sure i'll be able to figure out the rest on my own.. I guess i'll find out on tuesday!
