soundtrack: nightmares on wax: 70s80s

despite what anybody will tell me, i made a huge ass of myself today. in this class that we read the scientific papers, we break up into groups and the prof gives a question to discuss and then a person from the group has to come up and present their answer. anyways, these papers were ridiculous... 15-20 pages long. the way the prof picks the person to go is by drawing straws. well my friends, i didn't even get to draw a straw, i was picked by default... DEFAULT!!
i have to thank my group members though; they really prepped me on the figures and everything. after i finished hyperventilating and praying to God that i wouldn't look like a fool, i was ready to go. i went up there knowing exactly what i was going to say ....
and then the prof asks me a question and all my good intentions fly out the window and what was left? a bumbling fool. BUMBLING! ok, it wasn't that bad, i actually explained stuff. but i was still the bumbling fool; my credibility is now lost to my peers.
that was the highlight of my day.

so i hear that some students are suing USM for increasing tutition midyear. hell, i would sue too. how do you expect me to pay more money and then you just cut back the services that i pay for. it really doesn't make any sense. it's a class action suit too. i'm pondering it.

professors were blowing me today. biochem quiz and paper due next tuesday. biochem midterm two weeks after spring break?! why don't we just have no midterm and base our entire grade on the final?! forever reading papers, writing papers, reading textbooks, writing mechanisms... and it doesn't help that i have major senioritis. i'm just praying that it snows tomorrow and for the rest of the week. nothing like ... not one, but two! snow storms to jack up your last semester...

ok. i'm done complaining. i'm sleep. peace.
