Feeding the Brain.

AKA. THE SEMESTER FROM HELL.

Yes, that really needed to be in all caps.


Why??

Because we're talking about Dante's friggin' Inferno here. No, seven layers of hell has nothing on what I've just gotten myself into. I'm a fucking moron and royally fucked up my first two years of college...and, being the overachiever that I am, I've decided I want to double major. Here's the plan. Prepare to die.

Chem 260
Scand 233

Winter 2011:

Chem 241/242
Scand 234

Summer/Spring 2011:
7 credits HU
7 credits SS (+ 4 credits R&E)
Statistics
*Take the friggin' GRE
**Research for Honors Thesis

Chem 263
Chem 480
???

I mean Christ, look at Fall 2011. Do you see that?? That is 18 credits of pure chemistry. And you know what?? Biochem 451, Biochem 453, and Chem 261/262 are CORE classes (aka, must get A's in...) to my majors, which means they're tough as balls and essential to pass. Also, I'm going to be writing my goddamned Honors Thesis starting that semester...yeah, between getting royally fucked up the ass and trying not to vomit at the amount of work I have, WHEN pray tell will I have time to write a goddamned thesis!?!?!

So basically, I have no idea what I'm going to do. If you don't already know this about me, I'm competitive as FUCK. Literally, you can get me to do almost anything as long as you challenge me against yourself or some other poor bastard. Worst part (well for you)??

I will crush you.

Anal penetration. No lube. Total destruction. It's disgusting and sadly, true. You will be annihilated. And if I can't maintain my honor and totally rip you a new one, I will go all kamikaze on you. If I can't win, I sure as hell ain't loosing alone. And it sure as hell ain't going to be pretty. And if I can't do that? Then I'll just kill myself. Either that or resign my self to a pathetic, hermatic (?) existence creeping around my basement plotting for my rise to the world above...

...and total world domination.


O.o I know, I need professional help. This is not healthy. The world is in danger by this for God's sake man!


At any rate, one thing that really pisses me off about the States is the cost of higher education. That, and the toxically (?) competitive and fast-paced environment students are constantly exposed to. Seriously, I've lost at least 15 years off of my lifespan, gained 15 pounds on my waist, and have reduced my liver and kidney functions to about 15%. It's horrible. It wears on my health, my financial position, my social life, world view...I mean, it's pretty much a soul sucker munching on us from the inside out until all that is left is workaholic drones hell-bent on multitasking the shit out of life and decorating their fireplace mantles with Nobels. So not only are we all type A personalities, driven with the starving hunger of a dying herd of cow to succeed, we are dredged down with all of the ruckus about money. Or should I say, the lack of money. Which only drives us to work more and graduate faster so not only we won't have to spend as much money, but so that we can look damned impressive. Christ, the college scene is all about winning and competition. Where did the focus on learning go?? What happened to actually taking time to learn something of interest and not building an resume staggering with the weight of 132 extra-curricular activities? Fucking hell, college is so frustrating!



UGH, fuck me.
