Lulz, spring semester went better than expected.

  • 4.0 yayayayayayay
  • Biology: Cell Biology and Physiology (BISC 220)
  • General Chemistry Part 2 (CHEM 105b)
  • International Relations (IR 101)
  • Writing (WRIT 140)
  • Preparation for the Clinical Experience (MEDS 220)

I can’t believe I did well in Bio HAHAHA, I was so sure that I bombed that final. (I mean…controlling fluid volume vs fluid molarity? What.) I spent fewer than 10 hours studying for it, compared to the 20+ hours for Chem; however, studying till 2:15 AM and waking up at 5:30 AM was the closest to an all-nighter (sans jet lag) I ever got.

And knowing RA duty rounds, I will have many more nights like this.

Super happy with Chem, seeing how I pulled my grade from a B+ to a solid A. Note to self: keep up with Chem. That course gave me heart problems for the majority of the semester.

So did WRIT 140 for that matter. I loved the course and even the instructor, but goodness, did writing essays at the last minute give me more stress than needed even though it was my decision to procrastinate.

I’m hoping that this means I can handle a more taxing load next semester. With upper-division courses, the RA position, and a potential internship…there’s going to be trouble. Here’s to praying that I can handle it.

On another note, I’m still trying to grapple with the fact that I have officially finished a third fourth of my undergraduate career. Where has the time gone?!

You need to calm down. To nod off in class at 1PM after having a cup of coffee at noon is not okay. Sleeping for

COSM 2019 was a blast

What an experience. Austin was so fun to visit, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to learn more about a field I’m interested in
