I just wanted to post real quickly and mention that, yes i am still alive. School is kicking my ass. Maybe it's because I have been out of the loop for so long? Maybe I over-study? Maybe I'm too anxious? Whatever it is, it needs to be fixed. Fast.
I have another organic test this wednesday.... I think i sufficiently prepared for that test but we'll see... I'm going to do something differently this time and I hope it helps: as soon as I sit down, i'm going to write down every reaction and every mechanism I know, that way I wont panic when I start reading the questions.. I'll have it already written down.. I've done that in the past (for my math exams) and it seemed to work.
On the research side, we havent been testing as many mice lately. My boss has been under the weather for the past few days..Maybe that is a factor, i dont know.... in the meantime, I've just been working at the computer at the lab, organizing the slides etc. Cant wait to get started on those mice again!
Anyways, I"m not sure where this journey is taking me but the pressure is certainly on. At one point I was convinced I'd be pulling all A's, now I'm just worried about passing!! Why can't I just get the A's that I need? ...
There is just so much for work piling up - and fast. I'm supposed to meet with my genetics study buddy tomorrow but I havent even touched the book yet :( I've been so busy with calc and orgo that I've totally neglected genetics. To add more icing to the cake, apparently that test is going to be harder than the first!!
ARGH!!!!!!!!!
Oh! I should also add, on a better note, that I did find a notetaker! She is actually my tutor as well and I figured that she would be the best candidate considering that she knows my learning style and I know her teaching style.. So far so good. Calc test this coming monday :(
Fingers crossed.
