School is in full swing now. I typically spend Monday through Friday going to classes during the day and my nights holed up in the library or doing homework at my apartment. I've tried to go out several Thursdays in a row now, but with my night class, homework load, and knowing that I'll have to be awake enough the next day to drive back two hours, I just never have the motivation or time to go out. Fridays I usually leave around two after my last class and work Saturday and Sundays. Sometimes when I really think about all that I'm cramming into seven days, I get a little sad. Mostly because I realize that all I do is work and that I'm acting too old for my age. I should be out meeting new friends and being 21. But when I "really" think about it...this is the way I want it, sort of. I like having my weeks structured and knowing my schedule for the next few months. I like that I'm motivated enough to keep a schedule like this. But even moreso, I like that after the devestating news of not getting into the University of Minnesota, I'm still motivated enough to study my little ass off, and still keep myself happy by living up in the cities part time and keep the job I love. I may live a double life...but right now, it's all good.
I got a F on my first biochem test. I suppose I could have started studying earlier, but I was studying for a different test before that, and before that a different test...so I studied as hard as I could and thought I knew the material. I guess it wasn't enough. But sadly, it was more me making stupid mistakes, not me not knowing the material.
