hello break

I officially welcome thee, 10-day Thanksgiving break. (I just woke up from a heavenly 3-hr nap.) (And usually I don't like to nap.)

Lately, I've been really frustrated by my current grade in Neuroscience. I've always hated studying anything about the brain. I mean, it's interesting (sometimes), but there are endless things to know about the brain and the spinal cord, like all the different diseases/syndromes/lesions/injuries/etc. and just every little thing the brain is responsible for in our body. Seriously, I feel like she goes in depth about every nook and cranny of the brain, and right when I think there just could not be any more to talk about, she proves me wrong. Ugh 30 minutes into all this Neuro talk, my frontal lobe packs up and goes on vacation. I just can't pay attention.
(And this lecture is 3 hours long, from 8:30am to 11:30am. On Fridays.)

Back to the topic of my grade...

I set a goal for myself at the beginning of the quarter to get at least a 3.5 GPA every quarter.
My motivation: the Dean's List certificate that the OT department hands out every quarter to students who receive at least a 3.5 GPA. (yet I still haven't gotten mine for summer quarter...... are they lying to us?)

So far, my (mental) progress report looks pretty good...... until I get to Functional Neuroscience. It's a perfect Debby Downer. It just ruins my mood whenever I think about it. I'm so convinced that I'm not going to get anything above a B- (remember, a B- here is like... an 82-84% or something) in this class, but I am slowly coming to terms with the phrase "C's get degrees." You just need to pass, Sarah. Repeat x 50348.

Well, to end this topic on a good note and start my break strong...
I'm about 99.4% sure I aced my quiz today. For the first time.



Disneyland tomorrow, SD trip after that. Can't. Wait.
