i love fish

i'm so glad i'm a marine biology major, even though its going to get me nowhere in the future. its just great to be able to learn about stuff i really like. tonight i have a field trip for my Biology of Vertebrates class. we are going to an aquarium around 8, and then to the beach to see the Grunion Run. thats when all the grunion fish come onto the sand to mate and lay thier eggs. supposedly its pretty exciting. i've always wanted to go see it, but i just have never got around to it. now im going to go see it for school credit! yay! granted, i have to take my molecular biology midterm first at 5 (a subject i hate and could care less about) but at least i have something fun to look foward to after all. i can't wait until next year when i am all done with boring horrible lower division classes (except for physics. i still have to take 3 classes of that. boo.) and i can just take all cool upper division classes that i really want to take. well, back to studying DNA, RNA and proteins. oh joy.

i guess crying to the ta isn't such a bad thing...

So originally the head TA that i talked to said that i couldnt take the exam that conflicts with Nicole's graduation early or late, since it has to be set up and its an ordeal and blah blah blah. But he did say that there was a chance that we could start it earlier, at like 4 or 5, rather than 6, depending on if enough people in the class were interested. So today in lab when i mentioned the situation to my TA, he was like oh that was you!? (so obviously the TAs talked about the crazy girl crying on the first day of class. haha) And then he said the head TA had already asked his sections if people were willing to start the exam earlier in the day, and they were. So now I dont have to worry about it so much, since we'll just be starting it earlier!!! Although i still might be late, but at least i'll get there. The moral of this story is that if you cry on the first day it makes the TA feel bad for you and actually gets the test changed. hahahahaha.

back to school

Spring quarter has begun yet again. Oh joy.

So I think I know what it feels like to be depressed. I was depressed yesterday and I had tears brimming on my eyes all day. Not to mention the fact I started crying talking to the TA, the hour long sob fest I had on the phone with my dad, and the mini sobfest I had while talking to Yoav. I pretty much had the worst day ever. It started with my dad calling me at 8:30 in the morning to tell me that I had left the heater in the spa on for 4 days, and I was going to have to pay 500-1000 dollars, based on the gas bill. Then in my biology of vertebrates class I found out that I have a lab exam worth 20% of my grade at the same time as my sister's high school graduation. That crushed me and I was sooooooo upset, since Nicole is sooooo important to me, not to mention that (in her own words) she'd kill me with her bare hands if I missed her graduation. Then on top of that I got my first C ever in my life science class. I was pretty much just depressed the entire day.

Luckily today was much better. I only had one hour of class and it was just a math discussion. Then I flyered for my sorority for two hours and just chatted with my friends. I ate a whole pint of cookie dough ice cream. :) And I ate dinner, did random stuff and watched last week's Lost. So overall, today was not a depressing day.

Only 10 more weeks until summer vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
