I'm avoiding things again. I haven't studied in over 2 weeks now and I skipped an entire week of school.
I'm all happy and stuff when I don't think about studying or school, but what I'm really doing is avoiding things.
I'm so screwed! I'm getting my Mom to wake me up tomorrow to go to the library to study. Right now I think I may have to sacrifice one class to pass another class. I don't think I can study enough for molecular evolution. I've been doing really poorly in that class.
I don't think I'm really for school right now. I just don't have the mindset to study and go to class. Somehow I lost my way after high school. I think I really need the structure of high school. I did well in high school.
I have to get my degree, there's no giving up on that. I'm just too close not to finish, but it seems like I really hate the finishing part. Why don't I like studying? I used to love learning, now it is a chore. I've changed for the worse.
This summer, I'm going to try to learn on my own a bit, at my own pace. I feel like I know absolutely nothing.
Right now, I would be happy to pass 2 out of 3 classes. Then I'll have 4 more classes to go before I get my degree. I'll probably space that out next school year. I should probably take more than 4 classes, just in case I don't pass some.
I have no idea what I'm doing after I graduate. I'm so screwed. I think maybe I'll take a college course and get a diploma or certificate in something and just go with that. I'm not sure I can handle a job that requires too much of me.
I'm having a mini meltdown! These past couple of days I haven't been able to sleep. I just keep thinking about how uncertain my future is. What am I going to do? What career do I want? Over and over again, thinking... Ahhh! It's good that I'm at least thinking of my future now.
I'm excited about the future though. I don't expect too much. I'd be happy with a job that isn't too stressful and challenging. I can't seem to handle stress very well.
I can't wait to get a job!
I'm happy, but stressed and procrastinating big time!
I gotta get my butt to the library and study study study! I better get to the library by 10am and stay there until 11pm. That's how much darn studying I need to do!
I can see a future though. I'm excited about that. I'm going to do it.

I hate how things are so uncertain right now. I bet I would be a LOT more happy and stable with a stable job that makes more than minimum wage and isn't too stressful.
Too much school....I'm sick of school right now! I've had too much school. I need a big break! I just have to last a little longer to get my degree. I wish I hadn't dropped so many classes. I would have been finished by now.
I need to let my brain veg out LOL. Wait a sec, isn't that what I already do? LOL. Yep. That explains my grades.
Yahhhhh! My grades have gone to hell, but I don't care as long as I graduate!
It's a miracle I'm not on academic probation. The semester where I got 2 A 's, an A and 2 B 's really upped my GPA. I still don't know how in the heck I managed to do so well that semester. I had developmental biology, genomics, microbiology, and two others I don't remember right now.
I'm doing so badly right now, it's seriously not funny. I got 58% in my animal physiology II class. 58%!!!! I just passed by the skin of my teeth. I also skipped 2 out of 6 quizzes in my environmental science class. Quizzes are worth a total of 60% of my grade in that class!
Yahhhhh! I'm freaking out! I have soooo much to study! I have to pass 2 out of 3 classes! I really don't expect to pass molecular evolution. I think I'll skip the exam...why bother trying?
I wish school were over right now! I want summer! I hate being cooped up studying when I could be enjoying the sunshine. I can't wait for my exams to be over! I can't wait!
I wish a Babbler could come study with me. Come join me!
:-(
Yahhhhh! I'm freaking out!
My Mom better drag me out of bed tomorrow! I've been meaning to go to the library on campus for several days now. I *have* to study!
I HAVE TO STUDY!!!
OR FAIL!
Do I want to fail? NO WAY!
Gotta study, gotta study
I wish I could learn in my sleep...like listen to my notes on tape at night while sleeping and I could absorb all the info....that would be great!
But alas....
OK, learning is fun! Repeat after me, Learning is FUN!
Learning IS fun. I have to enjoy it more. That way it won't be such a chore. Why make myself miserable?

mmm
i remember that feeling...
i think everybody feels the same about now
school IS stressful.
yup yup yup
but i think it is about coaxing yourself through it (like you are)
and it will be finished soon enough...
and then you will find yourself out of school...
and probably wanting to go back lol.for instance... i remember what you are talking about. and i hated it too. sick ot death of whatever i had been doign by the time exams come around. ugh. and yeah have to *make* youself cram for exams and you walk out and AAAAAAAAAH all the cramme info floats out into the atmosphere never to be seen again (though it has this strange habit of popping up just the odd random fact will pop up at unexpected and totally inappropriate moments)
but you know what???
I miss being an undergrad. yup yup yup.
there is something stabilising and reassuring about cramming facts and regurgitating them on multi guess quizes and the like. i miss that.now... i don't know what the F*ck i'm supposed to be doing...
but ssssssssssssssssh don't tell anyone ;-)i really wanna go to med school when i've finished iwth this...
but ssssssssssssssssssssssh don't tell anyone ;-)i wonder if they psych screen you for med school... i wanna be a psychiatrist :-) :-) :-)
then i wouldn't mind training to be a psychoanalyst :-) :-) :-)
(and thats up until retirement planned)
:-) :-) :-)health research funding grants...
here i come ;-)

I studied about 8 hours today, not including breaks! Yay!
I'm going to do the same tomorrow.
I'm done for today. Now I can think about the babble trip and Dr. Bob. Aah, comfy thoughts.
I'm a little nutty. I was waiting for the bus and I was thinking of what to ask Dr. Bob in real life and I was talking to myself a bit. I hope it wasn't obvious. LOL
((((Bob))))
