So I have a lot of Biochemistry studying to do today and tomorrow. Should be loads of fun. At least 5 hours of lectures to watch. I have to take breaks every couple minutes or I'll feel like killing myself.
I went to see Burn After Reading last night which was pretty good I suppose.
I also went to a really lame party last night. My friend Zack said he was having a party... then when I got there he was leaving with some girls to a hot tub and apparently the party was at his upstairs neighbors place. They are a bunch of freshman frat/prep boys with skanky girls. I played one round of beer pong and decided I am never going to these types of parties again. I'm also annoyed with him since he invited Alicia and I and then was never there when we came to hang out. That kid is pretty cool to hang with but it's hard to get a hold of him. He is a bit younger than me and still in the party phase I suppose.
I'm looking for jobs/internships for when I graduate which is coming up in May. Sort of freaked out. I don't want to start working just yet but then again I don't want to go to grad school either. Then cooking school popped into my head the other day. Now I'm thinking after I get my BS maybe go to cooking school for a year and get some kind of certificate. I'm hoping this would make me more employable for the area of food science I want to work in. I do want to be cooking or developing new products. I was talking to one of my friends in my classes and she is trying to work in test kitchens. When I heard this I feel in love. So I'm going to give a little more research into that and see what I can do. I have a feeling my parents are going to kill me if I tell them I want to go to cooking school. But we shall see.
I'm feeling overwhelmed by my field. I am a food scientist that is very involved with nutrition and I am also working in a health food store which deals mainly with supplements. I am trying to learn everything I can about these 3 areas but they are so involved. I feel like I know 1% of everything I could know. I find myself constantly reading about some kind of food/vitamin/supplement even on my free time. This is defiantly a life style. I;'m starting to feel one sided. All I really enjoy talking about is food or anything related to it. Plus I have all these theories and I would like to explore. I am worried I am in the wrong major but I know I don't want to be in nutrition but I know that a lot of crap the food industry uses in foods is bad for your body. So I am not sure exactly what I should be doing.
AHh so many random thoughts running through my brain.
I have stalled long enough. Back to biochem.
