i LOVE finals week

why?

i dont have class, so i can stay up as long as i want. i'm not learning anything new (hopefully) and its just all review up to this point. that's how it was last year at least.

i didn't expect my classes to just explode in terms of how difficult the material is. i mean seirously its like a volcano erupted and just keeps going! but i also did realize this year that grades aren't THAT important. its still nice to see an A on my test or transcript, but when i look back to my sophomore year, im really not going to care.

what i will care about is how blessed i am to be able to help a sophomore student go from failing and completely clueless in algebra and geometry to acing her last couple chapter tests this year. quite amazing because i definitely didn't expect her to improve that much.

tutoring was most definitely one of the highlights this quarter. it took out some study/resting time of mine, but watching her understand math was worth it. im excited i get to continue tutoring this summer! ALGEBRA too. omg i love algebra, my favorite subject of all times.

i really miss math. im having a mid-life college career major crisis. what if i decided on the wrong major and graduate with something i dont actually want to do. WHAT IF.

omg.

:)

it is freakin hot in davis right now. its not even that bad, but im so used to cold weather now! (its supposed to rain tmw tho.....) last night i slept upside down and on top of my covers because it was too hot. i dont know why i thought sleeping upside down would make it cooler, but in my head it did.

i planned on waking up at a random hour last night to study biochem, but obviously that plan failed. i really need to motivate myself to just sit down and go into my own little world of studying. this quarter has been a butt. maybe its because i'm doing a lot more therefore i lose lots of studying time. this tradeoff better be worth it!

working at cvs as a pharm tech isnt what i expected. i definitely have more appreciation for cashiers now and whenever they dont say "thanks ms wong/gabby" after i pay, i think about the customer service grade going down. sometimes i can't say peoples name cause i really have NO idea how to pronounce it. last night a lady came in with a foreign name and as hard as i wanted to say thanks ms _______ i didn't want to butcher her name so i just smiled and nicely said have a nice night! :D (i work night shifts poo)

i really need to learn drug names, stat! hydrocodone is vidocin, i think. and that's all i know because it seems like everyone is getting that....makes me suspicious but they're middle aged people so eh. oh, and nasal spray! i forgot the name tho, flosomax? or something close to that.

i want to take two years off after undergrad to just relax. it'll only be one year really in terms of people my year since i can graduate next spring. it'd be nice to have a break from school. im afraid that i'll never want to go back to school tho. haha. i want to travel all over and somehow make money while i do that so i can pay for school! most likely i'll just be working somewhere trying to save every cent and not exploring the world. lameee.

oh its been more than 5 minutes. oops. back to biochem.
