Public entry? Why hello there f-list stalkers. Allow me to share something totally not fandom related.
My life has been up and down lately, but I've been working hard to get through it.
Anyhoodles~ FUTURE GOALS are fun. As I'm heading towards taking upper division classes for my major, I really need to route out everything I want to take to make sure my core and elective support help with what I want to do. I also need to make sure I get my shit done so last minute I'm not flipping out going OMFG I NEEDED TO TAKE THIS? DO THIS AND GET THIS DONE?! Yeah. Moving on~
GRAD SCHOOL PLANNING!
What do I want to focus on? IDK. Cellular and Molecular? Neurobio? I like the brain~ Biology in general? We'll see~ This is what my upper division classes are supposed to help me figure out. I wanna take some hematology, neuro, physio, and virology classes to see what they're like. IF THEY END UP KILLING ME AT LEAST I'LL NO LONGER BE CURIOUS. RIGHT? RIGHT.
In terms of grad schools~ Okay the first is SUPER unattainable unless I turn genius over night or something but its fun to aim high, because you just never really know right? Right.
John Hopkins! (LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.)
University of Maryland
McGill (Oh hai thar Montreal~<3)
Georgetown
I need to think of more possible ones, plan on visiting the ones I'm already considering and contact who I think I want to study under to show my enthusiasm~
I need to keep in contact with my favorite professors too. Letters of recommendation DX!
Gotta boost my GPA too. I'm not satisfied with it at the moment, though its better than some people I know.
If all doesn't go well I still have back up plans. Not too exciting, but at least I have a cushion.
Grad school at my current school! LOL. NO TY. I love it and all, but I haaaaaaaaate socal. So bad. SO bad. I wanna GTFO ): Its not for me.
Lab tech for hospitals. BS in Biological Sciences apparently is enough to do that. I like being in the lab. I actually love being in the lab. I don't think the labs I've worked in really allow my statement to be legit because I know I need more experience.
Did I mention I'm going to take the freakin ochem series for my elective support courses? Oh yes. If I make it out alive, I will be sooooo shocked. I'm sooo not graduating until 2012 unless I kill myself and take physics and the ochem series AT THE SAME TIME. Death death death. If I remember correctly, I like trig. I'm good at math... other than stats and calc. I think.
Anyhoodles~ Wish me luck bbys <3
I'm gonna need it.
PS - rohto hydra eye drops might just be the best thing my eyes have ever experienced. ever.
i've been completely unproductive today. i woke up and was craving pancakes really bad so i made them from scratch. om nom nom. i suck at frying them though D: like really, how are you supposed to get them that pretty golden brown? mine were all spotted with white spots in between. they tasted awesome though. they just looked really weird.
and now its 6pm and i'm drinking coffee. no sleep tonightttttttt! time to be productive in the present. my future is already mapped out for me.
