GRRR. ARRGH.

Ohgodohgod I'm freaking out. I have an exam in 40 minutes that's on a little material we learned in class and a LOT of material (read: 400 pages of a textbook) that we had to learn by ourselves. The thing is that we only had to read the material "generally," so I have no idea if my rush reading over this weekend will be enough! Did I absorb the right basics? Is it bad that I know what interleukin-2 is but have a hard time remembering what some chapters I read 2 hours were about? I think it might be. I'm having a really hard time understanding what kind of questions are going to be on this exam. It's all so vague! Last time, I freaked out for no reason because I though it was too easy and I was missing something, but then I finished the 1.5 hour exam in 30 minutes and got an A. So I feel like I may be overreacting because this class is supposedly an easy A. I'm probably much more prepared for this than some people. And honestly, this textbook has some really really interesting stuff in it and it really makes me want to be one of those people that find out this stuff (The book is called Exploring the Biomedical Revolution, pretty neat huh? Well,maybe only to dorks like me) but this style of "learning" it seems crappy to me. I would love a class where we went through this book chapter by chapter, discussing and delving deep into the intricacies of genetic technology. But no, we're expected to chew and swallow this massive book in one gulp, with no external guidance, and only absorb little parts of it. That seems so pointless, and what a waste of some great material! Argh. I really don't like entry level classes. That's why I like my calc 3 class, I don't feel like I'm being talked down to. Like in all my other classes, mostly because I had things that far surpassed them in difficulty and challenge in high school.

Uhhhh. I'll let you know if I survived this exam in a few hours.

In other news, apparently I committed a social faux pas that I didn't even know was a faux pas, resulting in the distinct lack of being asked to dinner by my hallmates for a few weeks. More on that later, because I really need some feedback. God, I'm so inept! *headdesk*

My mood theme picture expresses what I'm feeling perfectly. So does my icon. Sometimes being an icon whore really pays off.
