October already?
Holy shit. This year is crazy.
Classes are meh. I love the content, but I'm not doing as well as I should. Physics is okay, even interesting, though the lab is slightly ridiculous. Genetics is good, but the exams are unfair; biopsych is absolutely amazing, and I'm waiting to get my first exam back. I realllly like the stuff we've covered so far; def. need to work on switching to that neurosci major.
German is... something else. There are six people officially registered for the class, though on any given day there are only 4 of us, plus the prof. Ummm up close and personal much? It wouldn't be so bad except that I'm the only non-native speaker... which makes it kinda hellish. The topic is great (Medieval Lit in Modern Translation - Parzival, Hero for all Time?), although crazy hard. Discussing the concept of childhood in 13th century Germany is difficult enough in English...
Anywho. Work is f'ng crazy. The MRC stuff is okay, not too bad yet. Though I'm pretty much sick of the community. Meh. So much petty crap, I cannot wait to get an apartment next year. I stopped working at the OB-GYN lab for the next month or so, so I can crack down on work at the Psychiatry Dept... long story short, I have to finish the project I had planned on spending all year on...by November 15th'ish. Stress what?
Overall things are okay. I don't have any free time anymore, and am usually out of the room from 8am-1:30am (I haven't talked to my roommate since...Friday? Saturday? I don't even know). I don't do much outside of work and study, which is sad... hopefully I'll have a chance to hang out with people soon. I need a break. Took a trip to an apple orchard on Sun, and it was so nice to get off campus - definitely looking forward to going home at Thanksgiving.
Anyway. I'm up at the Duderstadt, I suppose I should crack down and get some work done. This fall break hasn't been nearly as productive as I wanted it to be.
Sigh.
