9 days to the exam.
i am grateful for that. a lot of work... but can make a lot of manageable progress in that time... and then, uh, i'm done with chemistry for a bit.
i got to looking through the cell bio and development course book for next year... and feeling... inspired, i guess. remembering... when i went to meet with the convenor for biology and there was a bunch of different animal skulls in this display in the building. and i was like 'f*ck yeah!'... how cool is that? feeling excited about comparative animal biology...
looking through one of the bio-sci course books for next year... organ systems... yeah... that's the stuff i really want to be doing.
i will work hard over the next 9 days... calculations it is... i'm glad that i ended up enjoying the significant majority of the chemistry course... but i guess i'll also be glad to put this stuff behind me. for a bit... it will only come back later, of course... but keep it simple for next semester, again.
it occurred to me to apply for compassionate consideration for my lab grade this semester. i will do that. i wont' expect anything will come of it... but it will make my case for lab assistance greater. give a person a fish... vs teach them how to fish... etc. i need to remember i see the touchy feely worst of things with psychiatry (support workers mostly) and general practice (ditto, really)... the atmosphere in the bio-med year was... for the most part... well focused. i think... when people are respectful about backing off when i need them to... that i'm okay. and that i'll habituate over time... ? perhaps? anyway... keeping options open...
doing equations... glad that i'm not hating it / them. very glad, indeed.
