upDATE.
i'm in the library right now between classes. i'm just posting this to remind myself of what just occurred in the hallway. dr. sogol, the 2nd highest up administrator in the clinical research dept., ran into me in the hall as i was leaving class & stopped me & talked to me and was wondering how i was doing this semester - gradewise. i said i was doing WAYYYYYY better than last semester and that last semester was a nightmare and he got this look and shook his head like he knew what i was talkin about. it was obvious he saw my horrible grades from last semester. so i said i had some other things going on not school-related that kind of messed me up last semester and that all of that was taken care of now. i told him i was doing much better and that i had taken 4 quizzes so far and got above class average on all 4 of them...and made perfect scores on 2 of them (one was today, which i pulled an all-nighter for). the coolest thing was he interrupted me and patted me on the shoulder and smiled and said "brian, hey...don't worry. we haven't lost any of our confidence in you and what you can do - you can believe that. we know what you are capable of." and he smiled really big and it was real - not fake like some professors can be. then he told me that dr. gertz, the #1 basically "dean" of clinical research was on campus today too and that he was looking for me and wanted to talk to me. i wonder what that's about...i know he saw my grades as well. but anyway, i feel so much better that they haven't lost their confidence in me and their opinions about my capabilities when i push myself.
i was studyin' last night for the a&p quiz today that i made a 100 on (yippeee!) and at 4:30 this morning my phone rings. i'm like damm...it's not friday yet. i thought it was going to be a drunk friend - joey in particular, lol. but still, i'm like i hope it's not mom or dad or michelle (my sis), so i jump up out of bed where i was studyin and make it to the phone too late. it was a close friend - i won't say who - she left me a message and i REALLY wanted to call her, but i was thinking shoot...i am not understanding this SA node AV node purkinje fibers crap that i'm studying and i KNOW it's going to be on the quiz...so i hesitantly went back to studyin. but before i started, i signed onto aol to see if she had an away message up so i could find out the deal and she was offline. i went to her web site and there was no update, so i was like well maybe things are ok. i wanted to call but i knew that if it was something bad i would get worked up & start bitching about whoever hurt this person for the next hour because i care about you a lot...so that's why i didn't call if u happen to be reading this... hope all is well..
my grades so far are:
immunology: 6.5 out of 7.5; 7.0 out of 7.5
anatomy & physiology: 10 out of 10; 10 out of 10
i have my first biopharmaceutics quiz this weekend online. it's not for a grade tho, but it will give me an idea of what to expect from this guy. i'm so intimidated by this class...
everything else is ok, except i think the new shirt i'm wearing today is too small, lol. it fits when i'm standing but when i sit it gets scrunched up because of the weight i've gained since last year - what a bitch man. that's what pharmacy school / clinical research does to you. i need to join the gym here - the problem is finding time to work out. sucks...
well, i'm going to jet. i need to study for immunology which is coming up in about 30 minutes. one..
