What could possibly be worse than Biochem Lab? If you guessed nothing, you win the prize!!
Yep, first day of biochem lab was today. Obviously. We have to work in partners, which I happen to like when it comes to labs because the experiment gets done loads faster that way. But naturally our TA picked random partners for us to work with--none of that pick-your-friend nonsense. *sigh* Apparently receiveing an education at WMU must be expensive as well as unsocial.
Anyway, my lab partner had the stomach flu so she did absolutely nothing constructive except write down the results I got by myself, all while running periodically out of the room to puke every five or ten minutes. I did feel really bad for her, and she kept apologizing over and over. But man, it's just my luck.
The All-knowing Jeeber brought a random WMU fact to my attention yesterday: at the time of its establishment (in 1903), the cost of one semester worth of tuition was.... drumroll please.... three dollars. Yes three. Multiply that by about 4,000 and you almost get what I have to pay today. Talk about inflation.
Sometimes it occurs to me that perhaps I need to think about the future less often. It would, of course, be stupid to never think of it, but this whole paranoia that I won't get into pharmacy school next year and then I'll have to wait another year to get in which would mean five more years of school instead of four and I'd be twenty-six before I even got out of college and moved into a house and got married and.... well, you see what I mean. I stress over it, and then I start to doubt my own abilities to cope. I did my best with the pharmacy school thing. I studied hard for the PCAT and took it. My GPA is good. My application was turned in weeks and weeks ahead of time. If I don't get in I'll try again.
But the bottom line is I need to stop thinking about this crap. I need to just enjoy myself (while keeping up the good work of course) and go with the flow. I've made it through difficult situations before, and I've gotten up each time I've fallen. Besides, if I worry over not getting it, or losing it, then before I know it it will be gone.
It's time to enjoy it--in the here and now.

Oh like there's even the slightest chance you won't get in. Pff. Whatever. ;)
Thank you for your unwavering faith in me. :) No realy, I'm serious.
Unfortunately, there are a ton of really smart students who want the same spot I do. I would be naieve to think that they're aren't some out there who are smarter than me (not to mention full of myself). But all that aside, I have worked hard, so here's to hoping. :)
I spelled naive wrong--see? Clearly not super-genius status yet. ;-)
Actually... I spelled a whole bunch of stuff wrong. Guh.
