I'm sitting in chem today, waiting for my exam and the prof keeps looking at me. I'm like holy crap I really did bomb that nomenclature test last week. Let me tell you: that nomenclature crap couldn't have come at a more inappropriate time in my life! Ok, maybe if an elephant sat on me and I couldn't get to the exam then there would be problems but really, my mind was SO not on the test. I studied but not as much as I could have and taking it was a total blur. I had nightmares all weekend about that damn thing, convinced that I messed up -ides with -ites, carbons with calciums, irons with fluorines. Well, my prof came up to me before today's exam and let me know that I got a perfect score on it! If I was shot in the ass at that moment, I wouldn't have been more surprised.
I also had a lengthy discussion with my bio prof about how sickening the marketing of food is and it's one of the (many) reasons I quit marketing. My actual question was how much protein should I be eating which led my rant on how my bottle of whey says 1g/pound of body weight. That is WAY too much IMO, and my opinion was right. Not really surprising that "health" claims were extrapolated to make $$. Hence my rant. He had a rant too so I didn't feel that bad. I dunno, I am kind of glad to be doing this school thing all over again because this time I don't give a F what people think about me. If I have something to say, I'm gonna say it. I don't feel weird calling out answers or asking questions or BS-ing with professors; I think it's because when you're younger, you're not used to conversing with adults besides your family. After working with them, you realize that there's really nothing to be intimidated by because unlike your teachers, most adults don't know shit. Well, then again I worked in the hole so that ain't saying much.
Today was my rest day. I didn't get good sleep because I was worried about my chem and bio tests today, so I slept in an extra 90 min. My eating has been pretty good though. I do have a salad for dinner that I'm not really feeling but I should eat it.
First of all, great job on the exam! That is amazing!! Second, kudos for doing what u want to do with your life! I wish more people had your state of mind. You rock!
