6. changing majors

When i first came to Mississippi College i thought that i may have wanted to major in biology. i have since discovered that that particular path is not for me. i am not saying this because the classes are to hard or anything like that, i just do not like biology. i think this is a good thing because now that i know what i don't want to do it will be much easier to figure out what i do want to do.
i know that i still want to minor in biology just because it would help me so much in med-school. i just do not know what i want to major in. the major that i am leaning the most heavily toward right now is a chemistry major. i have always liked chemistry more than biology just because i like numbers more than i do just memorizing stuff.
i guess what i am really wondering about is whether or not to trow on another minor. i feel like my true passion has always been physics, the only problem with that is i don't know how much it would help me when i go to med-school. i would really like to minor in physics just because i enjoy it so much, but with a second minor that might mean going to college for five years. i really have know idea what to do here so if you have any suggestions i would really appreciate them. thanks for reading.

6. facebook

I have urgent news for everyone; i just got a facebook profile. It's true; I lived nineteen years of my life without a facebook profile and, amazingly, i was pretty happy. everyone was telling me that i had to have one.
i was reluctant at first. As a fairly shy person, i did not know what to expect from this experience, but on night a friend of mine set me up a profile and i jumped in. i guess "jumped in" may be an exaggeration because for the first three days i had four friends.
now i am glad that i got facebook just because it has helped me to stay in touch with some of my friends from high school who went to different colleges. i guess i still do not quite understand why some people treat facebook like a religion, but i'm not going to delete my profile because, no matter how much it pains me to say it, facebook is pretty fun.

5. fall break

I don't know how it was for everyone else, but for me, fall break was great. I had been looking forward to it for quite a while just so i could get a chance to go home and rest a little bit. Nothing exciting happened over fall break, and the funny thing is, that is exactly what i was hoping would happen.
I had a chance to catch up on some sleep that i had been missing, thanks to my eight o'clock classes that i have every morning. I think that there is a verse in the Bible that says that a man cannot live on four hours of sleep alone, no, wait, that was bread.
Don't misunderstand what I am saying. i love to see my friends every day. i see them so often they feel like a family to me now; a crazy, crazy family. it is just nice to get away every now and then to spend some time with myself instead of with everyone else. fall break was a nice chance to recover and prepare myself to get back into this whole college thing.

rough week

I am really worried about the next week of school. what worries me about this week is the fact that i will have a lot of work to do. I am starting to get used to the college workload, which really is not that much more than i had in high school, but this next week may be the worst one that i have had so far.
the week will start off with a biology lab midterm on Tuesday. i know that there are a lot of people who are going to be taking this test and, i for one, am no where near prepared for it. After this i will have the chemistry lab midterm. this one does not bother me as much just because i like chemistry and i think i have a pretty good understanding of the labs that i have had so far. then of Friday i will have a biology test that is going to destroy me. the teacher is not the problem in this class i just hate biology. i understand that a lot of people like it, but it just isn't my thing.
i can see now that i am going to be spending a lot of time in the library this week if i want to get through it with my average in tact. oh well, i guess i am just going to have to do the work and get over it.
