Late Night Thoughts

Busy Busy

This is basically an extension of my announcement, so that I don't flood my message board with too much ranting. So rant incoming if you're not ready!

So, I've been trying to pass all my classes this semester to make up for last semester. So, I've been on the grind constantly, studying and working a lot. Most of my grades were good, all except for Chemistry. It was Chemistry that I had to worry about. It's not like my Chemistry grade was bad, it just looks bad in comparison to my other grades.

So, I've been stuck working on that, plus other stuff that my other classes like to throw at me. How do you make a family tree as a group? You tell me cuz that still made no sense. I swear after taking so many engineering courses, it was so hard to adjust to GenEds and an intro course. They were definitely a real confidence booster for me because my grades weren't the best before, but now they're at a record high!

I remember going through the first few weeks of school, and being so confused. I was like "How is this so easy?" or "Is this really it?" in most of my classes. Although, just because the work was easy, didn't mean that there wasn't much of it. There was always some type of reading, annotation, discussion, or other assignment to do. But because the other classes weren't much of a challenge, I was able to focus more on Chemistry. Which was great because I'm currently on my second try.

I've tried to switch things up and really give it my all this time. I got tutoring, doing group study, and ofc studying on my own. I even made a yt playlist of all chemistry related videos! If that's not dedicated, then idk what is cuz I was going in. And the best part that really helped my grade wassss...DRS! Thank goodness for accommodations because man was I struggling with those exams. Idk about you, but I cannot do an exam in 50 minutes, that's just not enough time. Like who thought that was a good idea? Serious who, I just wanna talk.

So, with all the prep work, assignments, quizzes, exams, extra credit, essays, and discussion posts, I'd like to say that I've accomplished a lot. But that's only counts academically. Also, why do schools feel the need to do campus tours every week? If they want to see me cry in person, they can come back later! Like I literally went to the bathroom during class, and when I came back out boom! There's a tour group right in front of the lecture hall door! I'm already missing the notes I need for the test, you don't have to give me an audience too.

Sometimes, actually no all the time, I feel bad for the students touring the campus. I look and them and just think "Oh they have no idea" or "Run! Save yourselves! Don't let those buildings and good food fool you!" But alas, there is nothing that I can do. Plus, all these activities happening the last few weeks of the semester really sucks. Like how am I supposed to participate in the festivities and fun, when this is the busiest week of the semester? Like make it make sense.

At least, I'm finally going home. Well, that's what I thought but it turns out that we have to drive over to my mom's school for her graduation. Not trying to sound ungrateful or uninterested, it just that I thought I could go home first. See my bed, see the pooch, take a nap or something. But ofc that's not on the agenda here. So now my schedule looks something like this: study for exam, pack, count items, and label the boxes, clean the dorm so I don't get fined, then meet up with the storage people in the morning.

Once I've done all that, I get to reward myself by studying for my exam, taking my exam, then coming back to clean and pack some more. When Friday comes, I'll be flying back home, only to wist away to get ready for the graduation, even though my hair has been nothing but a mess! So, I really hope that I don't look bad so I can represent her well.

And once that's done, I get to go back home. Only to remember that there's church the next day. Oh sleep, how I miss you so. But who needs sleep, when you can have answers? Sleep is overrated anyway. And just when it looks like it's all over, that I finally have a day of rest. Once Monday hits, it's the day that my final project is due. Man, isn't this week the best? It's all I want and more.
