Why did I take two science classes

All through out high school. I didn't need to study AT ALL. I retained information like a sponge. This all worked out for me; I could be half-asleep in class, doodle...as long as I listened and took some notes. When I entered college, a forgot how to properly study. This included trying to figure out if the book I was supposed to read was upside down or not, staring at the lecture notes for a good hour, and cramming. I realized that I finally reached max capacity. High School had less information, which meant less for me to remember. I happily flipped through my Zoology book today asking myself, "I wonder want I need to look over before the test on September 15th..." Looking over in Emily terms means "glance and close the book." Then it dawned on me, as I looked through my exam study guide. HOLY SHIT, I need to ACTUALLY study. Not half a decade of putting sunglasses on indoors to make it look like I was awake in class. NOPE. "Well, this shouldn't be too bad..."

Oh look, a diagram I have to remember. What? I have to memorize another 20 of these for the first test? This should be a PEICE OF CAKE!

Not only am I taking Zoology, but I'm taking Geology. Thank goodness I took a class at Portland State last year. At least I have somewhat of a leg up. Except I got problems wrong on my mineral exam, AGAIN. Fucking Fluorite and Barite? How do they work? The two samples looked too much alike. Plus it was open notes and book, so fail on my part. And it was 9:00 am, I had a bad night sleep, and my tonsil were red and throbbing. Nice way to start off Tuesday. Back to the fluorite and barite. The fluorite sample had like no cleavage. Fluorite is know for it's nice clean planes, but this sample confused the fuck out of me. Please Harper College, get a sample that actually looks like Fluorite.


I prime example of Fluorite, note how it's cubic


WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO FIRST YEAR GEOLOGY STUDENTS? The both are hunks of grey minerals that look like cubes. I know fluorite is more cubic than barite, I fucking read the book. But when you give us two minerals that look nearly identical and give us glass that's been scratched a billion times, how was I suppose to tell them apart. I'm an amateur. Not a geology superhero.

Psychology is going to be bleh. I know I'm going to have to write essays and present stuff, big whoop. But again, I need to actually read. Then I'm taking Math 080, AKA Lazy people class. I have to sit through almost a whole semester before we get to anything that I need to learn.


SCREW THIS! I can factor in two steps!

Other than that I'm taking pilates. My abs hurt everyday.
