Decisions, decisions, decisions. Sometimes I feel like a fool for signing up for classes that will stress me out more and in effect damage my GPA. I just feel that I am at school to learn, and by taking the "easy classes" I am jipping myself of some quality knowledge. This philosophy of mine, however, will undoubtedly come to haunt my life as a pre-med. I had the choice to choose a class with a final that was a story-book or a 15 page research paper with some of the craziest writers that would be vying for shiny, perfect A. And yes I did choose the research paper. I just can't find myself taking other people's advice. Yes, I've been warned #8th counselor. It's all about GPA. I know! But still, I love the process of learning, and even though this classes' downsides far outweigh its benefits, I feel that my knowledge of people like Shins, Mannheim, Gromski, etc... will make me more intuned with the geniuses of our time, or at least help me answer some of those jeopardy questions. I hate adding more to my plate especially with a full stomach but what can I say? I have an appetite for knowledge that cannot be satiated; even at the cost of everything else...
