No Rest for the Studious

I ate dinner in Commons. A ham and cheese calzone. It was slightly poo, but I was so hungry that I ate the whole damn thing.

I feel a bit unfocused. Driven, but slightly unfocused. I slept through Bio lecture today, and nearly slept through String Quartet. I woke up at 10:30, said "fuck" several times over, and hurried to get dressed and to class. I was only fifteen minutes late, I think, which is really good, considering that I live in Steele, which is across the canyon from the library, and the farthest out of the dorms across the canyon. So, even though I missed Bio lecture, I did go to Logic for once. And realized how much studying I'm going to have to do over break. No, that's a lie. I already knew. I know that I'm a putz at these derivations. I did one of the harder ones correctly and completely on my own, though. But there are a lot of them that I did wrong. So, it looks like once I get back from the drunken debauchery in Vancouver, I'll have to do lots of logic and lots of work on my music project, such as figuring out what the hell I'm going to talk about.

So, I was reading over some old entries, particularly the ones where I was thinking about my major, and where there was some decision to be made on that issue. Well, I've basically resolved that. I'm not going to be a Biochem major. Just Bio. Though, I will concentrate on the things that are related to Chem to the extent that I can. I have a molecular, a cellular, and an organismal/population requirement. I'll have no problem with the molecular and cellular ones, and for the two extra requirements that I need, I'll probably draw on them to fullful those extras. But I don't like the organismal/population requirement so much. I'm thinking that Vascular Plant Diversity will be the least painful. And it's the one upper division class that I can actually take next year. All the rest (except Pop. Bio, which I will shoot myself if I ever decide to take) require at least Gen. Chem, if not O-chem in addition. So, as things stand now, I've definitely decided to be a Bio major. I very briefly decided that maybe I was being a bit silly and entertained the idea of being a phil. major. But then I quickly came to my senses. I don't want to hate my major. So, I'm a Bio major. I'm just kind of worried about being able to take all my requirements within four years, especially considering that I'm eligible for only one upper division class next year, and the classes that have O-chem as a prerequisite will have to be classes that I take my senior year, while writing my thesis. Ack. I'll just have to sit down with my course catalog and figure it all out. It makes me feel a bit disorganized to think about it though, so maybe I'll have to talk it over with someone, like a Bio major who's probably been through this sort of thing. Another thing that I've come to realize lately is that there is no way that I'm going to be able to take classes in all the departments that I want to. Or at least that's how it seems right now. Philosophy and English are in the same group as far as group requirements are concerned, and I need two units from the same department. And I'm already taking a phil. class right now. So there goes English classes for me. (Sorry Meg.) If it turns out that I'll need more credits for graduation aside from my major and group requirements, I will take an English class. But, like I said, I'll have to sit down with my course catalog and maybe someone who is not a freshman and figure this crap out.

And so, having resolved that, I'm going to study some Logic now. Then practicing and library.
