Can The Stressed People Please Vent? — Page 2

Chemistry in general is just evil stuff. I took 3 years of it in high school, so I have the general idea of it.
Yeah, general chem is bad enough, but orgo is hell. But I'm really good at drawing hexagons right now. Too bad I can't make them react correctly with anything. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! Oh well, done with that final, not thinking about it.

Gee, Plum, you're finished everything until the new year?

Golly, I'm so happy for you.

---

but I also have several pre-med friends who assure me it is the work of the devil, so I believe them.

Haha, yes indeed. I'm pre-med. Lucky me.

I'm happy for you for being done Plum, and I'll be jumping with joy tomorrow at 5 pm, yay!

---

I'll be jumping for joy at 4:15pm PST. Until then, I'm going to continue shooting death glares at Plum for being so goddamn happy.

I kind of like the class, and my professor is AMAZING and the greatest guy ever. The last day of class, he put on music and did this whole monologue summing up orgo and it was extremely sexually explicit. He called it "my love affair with organic chemistry." It was the funniest thing ever.
And one day, he was telling us a story about his favorite reaction and he was like "this was my first reaction as an undergrad. I was in the lab and...well, this will show you how cool I was, it was night...
It was Friday night..."
and the rest of the story was also really good.
The problem with orgo for me is that I can't do it on my own. I can understand and follow along with him or in the book and it all makes sense, but when you have over 50 reactants that do different things in different combinations with different molecules, it just becomes difficult to remember all of them.

I'm doing AIDS and nutrition education in rural communities at their schools (in Malawi to be specific). I'm incredibly excited about the opportunity. It's going to be so eye-opening. I'm a little nervous, but my best friend is going with me and I'm sure it'll be an amazing experience. I'm going with an organization called World Camp For Kids (worldcampforkids.org, if you're interested.)

---

Whoa, did that mess up anyone else's screen? Could you put some spaces in that AAAHH-ing please?

---

Thanks for fixing that Paradox (I wouldn't have known it would happen, either...)

---

that was really unusual.
I didn't expect that to happen at all.

Holy ****! I just started studying, and I pretty much have to learn all of Christian history in the next, oh, 16 hours (well, and I need to sleep too.) Yeah, about that. Too many people, too many dates, too many theories. I mean, I'm a religion major, so it's coming pretty easily, but there's just so much.

---

Yay! I'd like to thank all the people who added to my stress. First of all, my religion professor, who thinks that memorizing the dates when all the figures were born is important.
Second, whoever decided that they should only sell caffeine two places on campus, both really far from my dorm.
Third, my school administrators, who must have purposefully scheduled all four of my exams within three days.
Fourth, all of my friends who are done with finals.
Fifth, my stoner neighbors, who play their music at horridly loud levels.

Thanks again to all of you, I owe everything to you!

---

Well, for some reason, my professor doesn't seem to think that's adequate. I'm not sure why...
Maybe I'll write that for one of the hour-long essays (there are two of them, and then a short answer section for another hour.) That'd get me out a lot quicker.

Edit: Bad Jessica, back to studying. You guys, seriously, yell at me if (when) I post again.

Thanks Plum!

Yeah, Islamic history is next year. AAAHHHHH!
Not thinking about that, not thinking about that.
STUDY JESS!!!!!
