Bio Major Fuckity

*le sigh*

Just bombed my midterm for Bio Lab...after having aced the Bio exam the day before. Although I use the term "aced" loosely. I only got a 92, (after studying for hours), which in fact would equate a B at my old high school.
This isn't good.
Around last week or so, I decided that if I end up staying at GMU, I'll declare Biology as my major and pursue minors in French and Anthropology.
Looks like I suck at my major. ...Okay I don't suck at it. I'm just...okay at it. But shouldn't you be awesome in your major? Or at least love the subject so much that average ability doesn't matter?
There's my problem.
Now what to do?
I realize that it's a little extreme to base my whole career future on one week of Bio, but I feel like my time is running out on choosing a major.

Fuckity fuck fuck.


Man I wish I had a passion for something. That would make everything easier. Obv.


P.S. Housing assignment went smoothly and we got a bitchin' place for next semester. So nice that it makes me want to stay at Mason. Almost.

Then and Now

Spring Break was relaxing, but went by waaay too fast not surprisingly. Definitely want summer 10x more now.
Actually I'm ready for this weekend, I'm getting off campus and dogsitting. I love some forced alone time.
Then I'm ready for April 1st, finding about about my summer internship.
And then I'm ready for May 1st, finding out about UVA.
THEN I will be so ready for summer that I won't be able to comprehend it. Ha.

In the now though-
I'm stressing about housing. The housing process is stupidly complicated and of course things are going wrong. Grr.
Also stressing about grades. I will not be achieving straight A's this semester, that seems for sure. I'm hoping for as few B's as possible with hopefully no C's. But as of right now, I'm pretty sure I have a C in Bio. Who knows about my Honors classes, ugh. Those grades are based on two crappy papers, one for each class, that I recently turned in. And participation. Which I don't really do...

Hmmm I like thinking about the future more.

Actual Rocky Horror

Rocky Horror Picture Show was amaaazing!
It ended up being me and just one other friend, probably the closest friend I've made here so far besides my roommate. We were one of the few people really dressed up, which was sad. But it was a really random weekend in the middle of winter, so that's understandable. Dressing up was one of the best parts though, fer sure.
Since we were RHPS virgins we had to go to the front of the stage and be their bitches. And since it was my birthday I got to get on my hands and knees with a couple of others and oink like a pig-
"Have you seen Deliverance?" he announces as he takes off a coat to reveal a pair of blue overalls.
We were also spanked while oinking.
Then I got to sit down and watch my friend play "Sophocles Says," a dirty version of Simon Says. She got to rub her boobs and groin in front of the audience. I think I was the lucky one. =)
Unfortunately this theater wasn't really into the audience props, but it was still loads of fun. I can't wait to go back in my pink fishnets and neon green tutu again!

Rocky Horror Birthday

Whoops, haven't posted in a while.

Last weekend I went to visit...shoot have I come up with a nickname for her yet?...umm....well one of my best friends at NC State. I was pretty worried about the drive since my car is old and just sat for a week under a couple of feet of snow. But it went fabulously! It was a pretty chill weekend; there wasn't much time to plan something because it came up on both of us so fast. Ohhh college you sneak.
Her boyfriend is adorable though. He was super nice, pretty cute, and dorky. I want one! It's about fucking time too. Gah, let me not dwell on this for now.

My birthday was on Wednesday. It's weird thinking about it because it feels like it didn't happen. The day was excruciatingly normal: I did laundry, homework, classes, and even went to bed on time. Only birthday related things was a card from my grandmother, and I let myself drink soda and watch my netflix. Yep, pretty lame.
But that's okay because this weekend I'm celebrating. Yesterday I went to see When in Rome with some friends and then hung out with some people. Though tonight is where it's at- Rocky Horror Picture Show! Also bought "clothes" for that yesterday. "Clothes" is in quotes because what I bought is a tiny mesh-like green neon skirt, pink see-through bloomers (so I'd at least have one more layer in between my panties and skirt), hot pink fishnets, a feathery headband, and a very thin white tank top thing. It's too large so it's really baggy and barely covers anything. But that's okay, that's the point; I'm wearing a hot pink and white bathing suit top underneath.
It's going to be fabulous.

Now I'm just killing time. There are SO many things I should be doing, but it's hard when Rocky Horror festivities are just a couple of hours away.


OH!!! I finished and submitted my UVA transfer app! I sent the common app a while ago, then it took me like another week or so to finish the supplement and submit that. So I ended up getting it all done with only like a week left. That's an improvement though, because the first time I applied I submitted it all on the actual due date. Dumb, I know.

Even though I don't really like any of my classes (except Tai Chi), this semester has been going pretty well. =)

Snoweekend Fool Fun

School's starting back up tomorrow, meaning I won't have been to class in exactly one week. Glorious.
This snoweekend can also be added to the list of ways my second semester is a college kid's typical first semester.
-Met/Hung out with a bunch of new people
-FINALLY got drunk and made a fool of myself
-going to bed after 6am two nights in a row/after 3am four nights in a row

I could list more but I'll just stop. I like letting the number of legal festivities outweigh the potentially illegal.

I thought this post would end up being lengthy...but there isn't much to say. It snowed a lot. I had fun. I was lazy. Going into details would require waaaay too many details, so let's just leave it be for now.
That's kind of annoyingly vague.
Okay, there was drama between some of the people I hung out with, so I'm saying I could delve into my thoughts on that but I'm just not up for it basically. Oh, I can tell I'm about to get ramble-y. I'm going to just stop for real now.

SNOW like WHOA

DC is getting hammered by snow this winter. Starting today and ending Saturday night, we're supposed to get 20-28 inches. Okay, I know technically NoVa is like smack-dab in the middle of the North American east coast, but I just consider Virginia to be part of The South. THE SOUTH DOES NOT GET TWO FEET OF SNOW, PEOPLE! No, just no. A couple of inches of snow in Virginia is supposed to be an event. An exciting one at that.
But now, screw snow. I'm sick of it.

Granted, it gives me a reason to be lazy and not leave the dorm.

OH!
And if there's a 100% chance of snow the next day, you close the fucking campus. But no, my school decided to torture me and make me get up at 9am to take a test that I find out has been rescheduled once I get to class. Ok, that sentence was constructed poorly, but I'm really too stabby right now to fix it.

I'm going to go back to being a lazy snow-enemy now.

Summer Mood Bluhh

I’m ready for summer break already. I know it’s ridiculous, but by then I’ll know where I’ll be finishing my college years and if I’m working the internship at the Smithsonian (and getting 5000 buckaroos).

I think I just need another fresh start. Spring semester hasn’t brought much change from fall semester. Although I guess I should still give it a chance, it’s only a couple of weeks in.

*sigh*

I’m not sure why I’m in a weird mood. I have a lot going on but at the same time not a lot going on. Bluhh.

P.S. It’s snowing. Again.

Idiot Pig Tickets

Apparently I wasn't enough of an idiot freshman last semester, so the world decided that this spring semester I shall make up for it.
In exactly one week I have already:
-forgotten my keys, twice
-locked myself out my room while doing dishes in sweatpants (hence no cell phone) therefore...
-used up the one spare keys "get-out-of-jail-free card"
-been late to class
-skipped a class
-procrastinated homework

It's not a good start. Really I should have already made these mistakes first semester (I did, toward the latter part of it) and learned from them. I'm just going to blame everything on the cold I immediately contracted upon arrival to campus. Yep, that cold has completely fucked with my sense of smell and capabilities of cognition. Damn cold.

In other news, classes are going pretty well. I'll be doing a truckload of reading and writing essays this semester, but I'm hoping to manage my time effectively. I can pretty much already tell which classes I will look forward to (Tai Chi, HNRS 130) and which classes I will dread (HNRS 230, Bio). And French remains the "meh" class. My enjoyment and workload for the Bio Lab is yet to be determined, although I am already aware that dissecting a fetal pig is in my grim future.
On a more pleasant note, I'm loving Tai Chi; the martial art and the class itself. I can't really put into words why I'm enjoying it so much, so that will just have to do for now.

OH. My future is not so grim. The Muse concert is happening, a ticket has been purchased and friend to go with has been acquired. ALSO. Today my bestie from NJ and I made tentative plans for her to come down in April and see Kevin Smith live! I really hope it works out, but I'll find out soon because those tickets go on sale this week and I'm determined to buy them before they potentially sell out.
Yay, I'm excited again and glad that this post ends on the positive side after beginning negatively.

Crunk Internship Stipend

Driving back to school tomorrow, classes start Tuesday. Wow.

Winter break really did fly by. But looking back, it was probably the best winter break...of my life. Yep..that seems right. New Years was a blast, for the first time ever. Usually New Years Eve becomes my most depressing day of the year. However this year I had the house to myself and, being 18, accordingly got crunk. Nothing big, just a few friends over- played Apples to Apples, Rock Band, raved, and took bunches of fun pictures. Hopefully I'll never have to go back to those lonely NYEve's of lonely self-reflection.

The Smithsonian internship was really really great. The work itself was pretty tiring (in that it could get quite dull) but the people and, well, just the fuckin location made it blissful. So, I've decided to apply for this new research internship they're starting in the summer. Sure, it'd zap most of my summer time buuuut hello connections, experience, references, and a $5,000 stipend! Yeah, I'm all over that. With my recent experience over winter break plus my sponsor's recommendation, I think I have a great chance of getting in. *crosses fingers*
Unfortunately, that adds another application to my table of worries. But this one is due very soon, and not the same time as the other one. Yeeeah that UVA app...ugh. I finally started it though, about half an hour ago, ha. Just filled out the easy simple stuff, but at least that's something. On the down side, it reminded me how tedious and unpleasant these things go, and that is really not good for my procrastination problem. Looovely.

Ah well. I'm feeling good.

Whiz-Bang New Years Genius

Wow I feel like winter break is flying out the window. But I guess I'm still stuck on high school break-time. It doesn't help that I always forget how close Christmas is to New Years though.

Anyway, since my winter break activities are finally picking up, I think that sense of being rushed just kicks in. So said winter break activities now include a mini New Years Eve party. I'm so excited for this because usually, as in always, my New Years is quite depressing (being a now-18 year old virgin with no future plans after college). Buuuut now I might be able to drink away those thoughts while having a blast with my hometown friends. Fuck yes, bring it.

And of course I start my NMNH internship whiz-bang in the new year. I'm really excited but also pretty nervous. It's going to be a lot of work on a time schedule (basically 9-5) that I'm not used to. I think it'll be pretty chill though since there wasn't even an application and the attire is supposedly casual (score!).

I still need to start my UVA transfer application. It's starting to hang over my head like a thunder cloud. I plan to just sit down and do it within the next couple of days. I just hope I can stick to that simple plan. Blergh.

And now for something completely different, Say Anything's new album is the shit.
"I love life. But life has a boyfriend." Genius.

That is all.
