Rogue Idea

I got into a lab!

Well I found out that we aren’t allowed to keep our tests but at least I got to see what I got wrong. Which I don’t know why I’m mentioning now since I didn’t look at the test anyways even when I had it. Every Monday-Thursday I wake and want to skip. Yes, its that bad. The class is so boring except tiny tid bits that we happen to get to discuss a little bit. Besides that sometimes I find myself completely zoned out in class and taking random notes that don’t make sense. The other day she was lecturing and I started to make a to-do list. I think the girl behind me sorta noticed cause usually I don’t write that much and plus she walked by while going to the bathroom and looked down at my desk top. Even though I usually hate lab classes, biology lab is much more relaxing than chemistry labs. They also have nice big benchtops that aren’t rusting and we get to sit in these really big rollie chairs too. Probably the most comfortable lab environment I’ve ever worked in. I guess the main frustrating thing is that most people in there don’t take a lot of science courses or haven’t in a long time and sometimes have a hard time understanding instructions. When I go into a lab class I really only have one goal in mind - to get back out as soon as possible. And with people asking all sorts of questions plus the teacher talking on and on and plus confused lab partners it makes things a little bit stress inducing because I have to remember to calm down and not speed off by myself and finish it all up since there are limited supplies.

I’m glad today is Friday but not because I’m going to lay around and do nothing but because i have a lot of things to do and since I don’t have to sit around in class daydreaming I can stay home and get things done today. Basically every summer I have a list of a few big things I want to get done and this summer I really want to carry these things out so I’m really trying to get these things done this time instead of finding more and more things to do and then end up doing a bunch of things I didn’t plan for.

Oh and I updated the About and Extras pages. I have more stuff to put on there but I haven’t gotten to it yet. I’m also thinking of changing the links on the bottom just a little bit but I’m not sure what exactly I want to do with it. Also I’m going to get it to display the name of the previous post next to the Previous Post link near the bottom but I’m gonna work on that later.

Well my schedule for the fall semester was PERFECT but of course that never lasts long. I’m still having classes tuesday and thursday but now i’ve added an Organic Chem Lab I to the list. Oh and I signed up for their little help class too which is only one hour a week so I guess I can deal with it. The real question is can I handle being in class for like 8 hours a day. No wait, I know I can handle it, I guess what I’m meaning to ask myself is how long can I go until I start wanting to skip a class or until I start sleeping in!

So this is my schedule so far, I have class from 8:30 a.m. till 4:00 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday. On Wednesday I have my 6 hour organic chem I lab, from 2:00 p.m. till 8:00 p.m. I know its gonna be a pain in my ass but then again I’ve stayed there later for more days in a row before every week so I think I’ll just get used to it. Plus I’ll probably finish early most of the time. Why am I taking Organic Chem I when I’ve already taken it? Well basically I thought I could let go and swallow that big ugly nasty C but yeah I just can’t let it go. So that’s why I’m stuck in the middle of this summer trying to register for extremely full classes right now, because earlier I thought oh well it’s okay but now I don’t want to leave it at that so yeah. I really really want the lab to be on Monday 12-6, 11:30-5:30, or 2:00-8:00 but the wednesday one was theonly one that was open so far so right now I’m taking whatever I can get. I’m gonna keep checking everyday though to hope that something opens up on Monday cause thats when I really want to take my lab class. I guess my schedule isn’t so bad now because I go to school Tuesday-Thursday and I have a four day weekend. If I get my lab on Monday I’ll have a three day weekend but I’ll have a good one day break in the midst of the crazyness during the week. Anyways some sucker is gonna change their mind about taking lab tomorrow and it’ll be too late! =) Oh and if I don’t get into an open Monday lab by the time school starts (which I’m sure I have a good chance if I just keep checking) then i’ll just show up on Monday anyways and ask them if they can add me when people don’t show up. Alright well I’m going to fill out some worksheets and run errands now. Hopefully today will end up being quite productive.
