Today has just been one of those days that you just want to say okay I give up. I woke up unable to breathe and stuffed up, even puking a lil bit. I went to my first class today pumped because I am taking a marine bio class, and I am a fanatic for the ocean and basically any critter out there. Needless to say that class went fine and besides lab later on those are all the classes I had for the day. Trying to be the good student I went ahead and started my practice quiz for tomorrows class so that I would be prepared for the teachers quiz. To my horror I quickly discovered that I did not know how to do about half of the quiz, so I went to my teacher for help and got the response of you can figure this out, (insert name here) this is o-chem now you gotta start thinking you are smart enough. You know this is one of the responses that makes students want to yell and scream, clearly if I knew what I was doing I would of figured it out, a little guidance would of been nice maybe? Needless to say I went ahead and found two other people who had already taken the class, and asked for help but of course they were also stumped. Then I looked at the time and it was almost time for my lab to start and I hadn't even had lunch yet so I ran to my apartment and shoved a peanut butter jelly sandwich down my throat and practically tripped on my way out. Then my apartment would not lock and I stood for two minutes trying to lock it. I than ran to my lab hoping I would not be late only to be told that my lab was moved to one thirty instead of twelve thirty. On my way back to my dorm I noticed my phone had decided to act up by flipping the screen upside down and off to the side so. I couldn't tell what I was doing on my phone, and my apartment was open. Needing my brother I called the house because I couldnt remeber his number off the top of my head. When my dad answered he did not recognize me, and I must admit I broke into tears and started crying im your daughter!!!! Then he handed the phone over to my brother, who bless his heart helped me out and talked me through resetting my phone. Then my phone started working and I ran to lab again only to realize I had forgotten my notebook, but it was to late to grab it. Lab was alright and I went back to my room in a good mood until I realized my o-chem book was missing, and I ran in a panic to the science building glad that no one had stolen my book. So now im looking over notes for my quizzes tomorrow. All this and its only my second day of school.

  2. I'm sorry to intrude on your private blog but I get a notice when someone mentions o-chem. I'm amazed your prof gave you that kind of response. This is someone who is being paid to teach, correct?

  3. Oh its alright I ended up doing the problem right in the end, I think my teacher just wanted me to realize I had already figured out the answer. Thanks for letting me know about the blog you write though :)
