I got my first A in a science course at Emory in O Chem. Lab grade has yet to post. My current GPA is 3.660, which is a mere .040 away from the desired 3.700 (an A- average). I still have 6 credit hours of orgo to pull that up with. Keep 'em crossed ( Read more... )

So, my orgo TA. I'm just gonna kind of ... throw him out there. Not that I could: he's fat. I hate him. He has ugly salt-and-pepper hair, crooked teeth, seems a little bit too comfortable in lab goggles, and he's MEAN. I'm talking "I only saw him smile once the whole time I was in his lab" mean ( Read more... )

O chem is my bitch. Med school, here I come.

I can't decide (can never seem to decide) if being busy stresses me out or excites me because I like the challenge. After finishing a grande coffee from Starbucks ($1.82) and chapter 6 (substitution nuclephilic reactions of the first and second order; elimination reactions of the first and second order), I am taking a break to do lab work ( Read more... )

After a week without internet, I found my wireless internet card in a box. Even though the cable guy isn't coming until tomorrow (2-5), and even after that I do not own a router, I am online tonight. Internet mooching rocks!

Have I mentioned how amazing my parents are lately?

Every time I say to myself "I am better than this" I redouble my efforts. But maybe the Ross is right. Maybe less is more, maybe I actually am adequate and need to learn to rely on myself for once (gasp ( Read more... )

Today began my long trek through organic chemistry. And though I am excited about learning molecular structures and memorizing reactions, I somehow feel a growing weight. It is as if some acme anvil could, at any moment, be cut from its suspending coil and splat me into Ashley Jam ( Read more... )

Today I spent more money (this time at Target). Well, I spent two gift certificates I've been hoarding. I don't know why it is that I can never seem to hold on to money and never seem to get rid of gift cards. They're 'special' to me or something. I feel like I have to spend them on something really good because they were gifts ( Read more... )

Today has been quite full already. Thus far I have:

1. Discovered my Biology grade for the semester (B+)
2. Discovered my semester and cumulative grade point average (3.500 and 3.639, respectively).
3. Seen Wicked the musical at the Fox Theatre ( Read more... )
