Ok, well, my registration didn’t work. One class I knew the computer wouldn’t let me do because I was having prereqs waved, so I had that all taken care of. Another little class I decided to take that day I didn’t know required special permission from the prof to take, but I got that so that’s no big deal. The main problem is that in order to take the second semester of physics I have to be taking or have taken Calc II. Now, I haven’t done this. I would have done it forever ago if someone had told me this. I asked some up and up peoples too who should know. I took AP calculus in high school, which means I should have skipped Calc I here, which I took freshman year. Given this, I would have taken Calc II then, and none of this would be a problem. As it is I’ve decided not to take second semester physics next semester, but Calc II. I’ll finish physics next year. Of course, this ruins the continuity of it all, and I don’t get to have a class with a friend anymore. My only one so far, cept that one Jan Term w/ 8. So that sux0rs.
My schedule now is Cognitive Neuroscience (4 credits, got prereqs waved, want to take it so that I know if I should study neuroscience in grad school, and give me a more specific idea of what to study if I do) Calc II (yeah, you all heard about this), Comp Sci semester 2 (I dun remember what it’s technically called, I am doing well at this first semester of Comp Sci, so I might get a minor, if I want to take any classes above intro I have to take this class next semester though) and Research Methods (This is a special thing where I read a book that a profesor is reading and we talk about it a couple times a week. Going to read something about neurophysiology, more grad school prep, and I’ll learn a ton). Excluding that Research Methods, cause it’s only 1 credit and hardly counts, I’m not taking any Bio. I will also have no labs. Every semester till now I’ve had at least 2 labs and at least one bio class. Weirdness.
Also there is my physics test. I screwed up a problem, and since there were only 5 questions, I’ll prolly get like a C or something for it. I’m mad about it cause I know the stuff, I just always forget stuff at 8 in the morning. What are they thinking? You know there are studies that say an extra hour of sleep for high schoolers raises the average grade by a whole letter? How about that? Maybe the country wouldn’t be so dumb if you’d just let us sleep!
Oh yeah, and the vert lab today didn’t work.
Ok, but seeing the silver lining, as I so often do, I have some stuff to say. Next semester I won’t have to wake up early and it should be a pretty easy workload, which will give me the time to really focus on the neuro stuff, and figure out what I’m interested in. When I take physics next, it will be the second semester of my senior year, which means the grades won’t matter for anything, so it will be ok if I screw myself then. My indepedent research seems to be moving quickly and correctly forward. I’m also ahead on my vert phys read. Also, two of my classes are cancelled tomorrow, so I’ll be done with class at 10. 🙂
I haven’t eaten today. 😛 That’s not part of the silver lining. I’ll probably eat soon though, that’s kinda silver lining.
8’s been having a rough scheduling time too. She’s trying to drop a class, but it’s kinda back firing I think. Silly theater people. I’ll let her give details if she wants.
Anyway, the point is we’ve both been busy and so that’s why there have been not many updates.
So hungry. My vert lab TA, I think he’s dating this girl Tara. Yeah, he definately is, I just looked them up on facebook. He’s totally winning on that arrangement, unless she has some horribly disfiguring personality traits I don’t know about. They look like siblings kinda.
Anyway, it’s good to ramble. I wish my PS2 pictures would work. I’ll try again
. There, cool huh.
