Not much to report really. School's been frustrating. I think most of us just don't care anymore...or have to put in more effort than is tolerable in our current mindset. I would pretty much kill everyone if I failed a class and couldn't graduate or something. I can't see that happening even in a worse-case scenario type of thing...but yea the fear is still there. Med chem is still good...kinda gets weird with o-chem topics that my brain killed awhile ago...but whatever. Protein folding is kinda scary because I need to make sure I pass and right now I'm just barely doing that. It's harder to so much as even go without Lauren there anymore...so that's fun. Bioinformatics is the class that demands too much time as usual. I think if I understood/cared about what we are learning about I wouldn't mind but god it's just so beyond boring. It has to do with proteins so it has some sort of revalance...but we have to use these programs that are very user-unfriendly and an assignment that should take like an hour takes like 7 and wow I'm just very uncaring. We have our first test tomorrow so I'm a little freaked out since there's been so much bizarre crap and I've understood relatively little of it. We'll see how that goes.
I got my laptop screen fixed. Apparently we are given a SXGA+ screen from RPI instead of the usual LCD screen...so the one I got off ebay works...but it can only handle a lower resolution...so everythings all big. But still very crisp and clear and so I'm content and I now have a laptop again! I gave money to Northeastern to reserve my spot...so in reality I have a definite future at a school which is a beyond nice feeling. I have my Cornell-Weill interview in NYC this Wednesday during Spring Break and will probably stay in LI until Saturday. Since I'm taking the train and because I probably have a roommate (boo)...Dave can't come (plus I'm sure he has work too)...but it'll be nice to see the family and discuss what to do after graduation. Right now it's hard to plan since the idea of being at Cornell is still very appealing. Again, just have to wait to see what the future brings.
