What luck I have!! My cell bio exam has been postponed until next week. I could really use the few extra days to prepare... I spent so much time studying for my neurosci exam (which I will get to in just a moment), that I neglected many of my other subjects.
I'm finally on the ball again with organic chem. We are diving right into reactions of benzene and aromaticity. Not too bad... Ha, but I say that now. I dont know what the hell it is with that class that makes it so hard for me to pass. It's beyond me. Anyways, I've started working on practice problems and have been meeting up with a classmate to practice. Doing what I can.... I tried to get in touch with my tutor today, but yet again, she's on the fritz.
My neuroscience exam was a bit scary... I had a feeling it would be though. There was just an insane amount of information this time... and I'll have to admit, there was some funny business going on during the exam. Our 100 year old professor apparently has declining vision and hearing - poor guy. But there were definitely people that took advantage of that...if you know what I mean... It seemed like there were several covert operations in the works. I noticed one. A girl a few seats from me asked her (apparently brilliant) friend behind her to take 2 scantron sheets as they were passed around. The plan was that she would fill out the scantron and pass it back to the other girl who would fill in her name and claim it as her own paper. Wow. Just - wow.
That was quite a distraction for me because I couldnt help but notice the four or five times she tried to get the scantron back to that girl. Must plan it at the right moment, when the professor is turned, when someone walks up to him and asks him a question, when he blinks, for godsakes anything. Oddly enough they carried out the handoff when he was directly infront of her. It seemed like he was watching them do it.
Well I'm not perfect either. I'll admit, I have been guilty of some unconventional practices in my time....but what happened today completely takes the cake. I'm not talking about glancing over once or twice at someones paper, I'm talking about flat out getting a pre-filled in scantron!! Nutty.
On a better note, I'm actually considering taking calculus at a different local college. It might give me a better chance of doing well in the class, least of all passing it... It's worth a try. I've heard from many people that the math department at my school is way below par anyhow. On top of that, unfairly hard.
Will I finally make it to the D.O tomorrow? I have so much to do!!
I'll sleep on it and decide in the morning....
