Old hurts die hard
People in my chem lab today made me cry and were giving me all this crap about why I wasn't going to grinnell, like my disability is no big deal, and a medical excuse is not important. I know they were just jealous that I got in and they didn't but It really hurt my feelings. Stacy told me I "wasn't that bad." Thanks man. Bitches. -
Spring Semester has begun
I've officially survived my first day of classes. It went pretty painlessly I have to say. I'm definitely overstimulated and I'm trying to calm down a little by listening to light music and taking deep breathes. I got into my math class, which looks to be very easy. I need to find a study buddy to check my answers with. Tomorrow I have Psych and ( Read more... ) -
Post graduation plans
This is what I'm thinking and I need to document it somewhere so I can stop thinking about it. It's driving me insane ( Read more... ) -
A turn of luck
I love how live journal is all halloween festive. I'm a little sad that I'm not dressing up this year. I'm not sure why I care since i haven't since middle school, but everyone is chatting about their cute costumes and I feel like getting all made up. But I'm going home this weekend ( Read more... ) -
allergic to studying = bad grades
Still working on my study habits or lack of study habits. I'm having a lot of trouble getting interested in the material, which makes it difficult to focus. I'm going to sit down with my prof. next week hopefully and get it together. In the mean time I have an exam and no interest in studying for it. Bother ( Read more... ) -
Blah
Totally burned out of studying today and it's only week one. My current note taking system for chem and bio both suck, and i'm trying to do something different. I want to make the most of my study time, and reading clearly does nothing for me. That is all. -
Change of thought
Things have changed so much in the last 7 days that I feel like I've been at LFC for like three weeks. Though the most drastic change seems to have occurred from friday, 2 days ago, to today, sunday, which basically summarizes to: I'm not impressed with my classes or my fellow students. I made a serious effort last week to be friendly and open to ( Read more... ) -
Summer Ends
Only 2 weeks and 2 days left of work. Not in the mood for any serious reflection, just some updates since my last post:
LFC doesn't have a track team. Serious Bummer.
I'm going to move in early thanks to becky.
I've got all my books straightened out. My chem text arrived today and I'm going to start reading it.
Very close to finishing my cross-stitch.

More fall updates and summer adventures
Don't have much time to post. Six minutes in fact. I've discovered that I really like science when I visited Museum of Science and Industry yesterday, and I enjoy teaching people things/explaining things. It makes me feel confident, useful, intelligent, and important, and good about my decision to be a college professor. I'm going to go back there ( Read more... ) -
Summer
Finally today the weather started to be summerish. It was 78. I miss lakeforest. mostly the fact that I can get everything I need within walking distance. suburban sprawl is annoying when you can't drive. I've been waiting patiently to start driving lessons, but everyone is too busy. It's rather annoying. It seems very unfair that I have to return ( Read more... )
