A post that isn't about babies

I'm sitting in Wanderer's Teahouse in East Lansing, MI drinking my Moroccan Mint tea and eating a vegan no bake cookie. I'm trying to study and watch Biochemistry lectures but I'm too hyper to study. I don't know why I got the vegan cookie. I sometimes understand the idea of being a vegetarian and vegan but then I think how delicious meat is. I saw a bumper sticker last week: "Meat is murder. Yummy, delicious murder." 

I can tell you one thing I don't want to do: be a biochemist. I like the idea of using chemistry to do things that involve biology but all the chemical processes are not the most desirable to learn. I need to force myself to learn them anyway. I feel like that's what most of undergrad and school in general is about. Forcing yourself to learn things you don't necessarily want to but what some other person decided you needed to and that those classes have to do with what you're interested in. Some of the classes I've taken are completely unrelated to my major but I loved them. I guess I don't like memorizing, except for Organic Chemistry but that's a definite exception. I don't know. I'm just complaining for no reason. Education is good and I'm learning a lot. 

I promise I have more interesting things to say. I just am realizing how much I have in the next week and a half: 

Friday- Stats test. Have I been paying attention in class? Negatory. 

Sometime this weekend- going home to see the babies (I can't stop thinking about them) 

Next Wednesday- Prokaryotic Physiology Exam. I should probably study... 

Next Thursday- Geography HW due. Shouldn't be too bad and I get to be creative! 

Next Friday- Biochemistry Exam. Dun. Dun. Dun. 

Sometime: write personal statement, fill out grad school apps, study for the GRE, take the practice GRE, get letters of rec done. This whole applying to grad school thing is tedious but I'm actually feeling like it's the right thing to do. 

Ok. PRODUCTIVITY is going to commence now.
