Death to Biochem

Unfortunately this week is finals week, and though my finals schedule is slim, it is still wearing me down. It is all due to BIOL 2083, aka Biochemistry. I have excelled in the class over this past semester, but going back through all of the information from the entire semester is insane. It took me 6 hours to go through my notes from the first day of class to the last day 1 lousy time. I guess now I am just going to have to decide what I think is important because there is no way that I can squeeze in another 6 hour run through. If anyone reads this before 10:00am, keep your fingers crossed that I get the 55ish% score that I need to keep an A. I know that sounds like it should be easy, but having to know a whole semester of biochem scares me. After I have completed the final from hell, it is all down hill. I just have an online final to finish for VETS 2020 by Saturday at midnight, which won't be easy due to all of the awesome clinical questions, but at least I have several days to get it done.

Well, I should get back to studying.

Peace

This One's for You, Dad!

So I am a couple of weeks late in getting this online, but I kept getting sidetracked. A couple of weeks ago, I attended an LSU baseball game in order to fulfill a promise to Fasha (my dad). I have not participated in a lot of sporting events around campus. I have only made it to half of a football game and a few gymnastics meets prior to the baseball game, and my family would like for me to be a little more active in these things.

After convincing a friend of mine to come along with me so that I would not have to endure my first game alone, we went to see LSU play the Georgia Bulldogs. Our journey to Alex Box Stadium started off with a trip to Mike's cage to get us into the spirit (actually, we just went to see him because tigers are awesome). After watching Mike pace back and forth for a few minutes, apparently he was deep in thought, we headed to the game. We were unfortunate in the day we chose to go to a game because it had been raining all afternoon, and despite the warm weather we had all week, the rain brought much cooler temperatures with it. I pretty much froze while I was sitting on the bleachers. Oh well.
Due to the cold, me and my friend did not stay for the whole game, which was not going so good anyway. I will admit that I did not pay very much attention to the game while I was there, but I did have a good time talking with my friend. Then again, I always have a great time when I am around this person. The good news is that the Tigers seemed to be doing better when we left because there was a lot of cheering while we were walking away from the stadium. I don't know if I will make it back to a baseball game, but I suppose I will try to attend more games of some kind. Maybe I will tag along with my friend from the baseball game to a football game in order to give the sport a second chance. I think I just went with the wrong people last time, which led to me walking away at half-time (not before watching the band, though).

We shall see what unfolds next semester.

Peace
