it's the week before school starts, and once again, I've had like no official summer of more than a week where I can not worry about classes and tests. On one bright side, i got through orgo 2, even though that was 1.25 hours a day of scratching my head in class and then like a gajillion more hours trying to teach myself what I didn't learn in class. And now, this week I'm studying for the PCAT so I can pretend like I wanna get into pharmacy school. i took this practice test, and totally bombed the biology and chemistry sections, but rocked the math section. That screams change in major to me, although I'm pretty sure I suck at higher level maths too, as taking Numbers and Polynomials showed me. And whenever I read the biology stuff to review, it's so bland and confusing. They just start using all these high-tech words and claim to form sentences with them, and then I start getting distracted by the thought of wanting to play basketball and it turns into, "blah, blah, operon, some more blah transcripts something." In two semesters of biology, I've learned absolutely nothing.
Ever since the end of high school, I feel like I've become so materialistic. It's probably from growing up so Asian with all my nonbranded clothing and being like a year behind whatever clothing style was hip at the time. So, now to make up for that, i ordered some new basketball shoes online for 60 bucks, and have been compulsively checking UPS tracking everyday. I'm hoping they get here today, although past experience with my luck would say they're not gonna show. i was initially hesistant to buy shoes online, but the salespeople in shoes stores are so damn annoying. They follow you around and recommend the most expensive shoes on the top rack.
Ehh, so pointless.
