Lazy Lazy Lazy

I have never met a person lazier than myself. Well, actually I am lying. Anyways, I’ve spent the past few days losing sleep and food because of Chrono Trigger…a game that I have played before. LOL. I played it about 2 1/2 years ago, I think…and I loved it so much that I had to play it again. And probably will again in the future. Well, I can say that the second time around it is much easier and loads more fun. Like now I know that I’m supposed to keep battling the guys that give plenty of tech points so that I can get all the single, double, and triple techs. And I know how the flipping stones work now too. And BTW I think it is ridiculous that you have to use the stone EVERY time you want to use stone-related techniques.

Now about the whole school situation…

Why Private Schools Rule

May 6, 2008   Filed Under: Aspirations, College, Life   328 words

Because even though they charge you an arm and a leg, they treat you like you deserve to be treated. For the past week I’ve been working on a non-degree admissions to a state university here. It’s a long, drawn-out, and unnecessary process. The actual application and supporting documentation to be submitted is not that bad. I copied everything and submitted them within a day of finding out exactly what it is I needed to submit. It’s getting hold of the office that sucks.

I call and call and the stupid machine routes and re-routes me as it wishes. I click a number and am on hold for the operator for about a minute before it transfers me back to the main menu…exactly where I started. I thought I could save myself the 45-minute trip to the school by calling since I just wanted to know if they need anything else, but I guess I will either have to take it or wait for them to send me a request in the mail…which I don’t want to do since everything needs to be done before May 12. I do not want to be registering within the week that school starts…I have until that Friday (May 16th), but since I want to take a super-shortened Chem class (about 7 weeks or so), I don’t want to miss days of class.

I have decided that I am just going to finish up 90 credits (I should be able to do so by the end of next year) and then study hard for the MCAT and apply to medical school. If I do not make it on my first attempt, I will go ahead and complete my Bachelor’s, but otherwise I won’t bother. I have faith that I can get in, though. I just need to keep a 3.0 GPA (B average) in all my science and math classes and do amazing on the MCAT (which is basically a science-based SAT, methinks).

School Is Almost Over

And it sure feels good! I have two tests to take between tonight and Sunday and then the whole shebang is OVER! I’m SO excited! I’ve done good in most of my classes, bad in one and not as good as I expected in a few. I may take a class or two over the summer but it will not be at this school I’m currently going to. I think it is finally time for me and that school to go our separate ways…even though I love it there so much. I’ve never loved a school so much–the academics, teachers, and advisers are purely awesome. The other school sucks but I will still take my prerequisites for med school and get on with my life.

Monday or Tuesday I can begin screwing around with WordPress and see what I can come up with. It will also be a good time to do some spring cleaning and much needed returning of comments.
