More epiphanies and studying

I have one killer of a midterm on Thursday and I just wasn't seeming to find the motivation to study. So I was looking at possible careers as my roommate, Anne, remarked I always seem to do. the more I look into it, the more I think I want to do this. I think I want to be an occupational therapist. Their work is varied- there is almost nothing that they don't do. This also makes it hard to describe what they actually do. Anyhow- the job involves helping people which is exactly what I want to do. Now that I have a goal... a new goal, it think it will be easier to motivate myself to continue to do well so that I can actually get in... and so that I have no problems getting in. Right now- minimum entrance average on your last two years is a 3.0, competitive average is a 3.2 and I have a 3.5 right now so if I keep it up I should be good. Sara, my other roommate, said she would help me research the career by taking me to satellite club at the hospital. Satellite club is run by an occupational therapist and it is an activities club for people that have been discharged from the psych ward.

So tomorrow will be a fun filled day of studying/picking up a costume for Halloween at value village. I am being a pirate. I should go to sleep. I have been wanting to for hours now.

Before I go- sorry for not "moderating the comments". I didn't know I had to, to get them to appear. I just thought that people weren't commenting. But you were... and I thank you!

Ranting instead of working

I should be stuyding for a make-up exam I have tomorrow but I am too angry. Some forgot to put TAE in our running buffer, and I subsequently made a gel with this so called running buffer (water) and tried to run it in the so called running buffer.

At about 12:30 pm today I am told by our technician that it was a water gel and that she threw it out. I didn't know whether to cry or to walk into the lab and find the culprit and kill them. This ruined about three full days (8 hour days, no classes) of work, not to mention put me about a week behind and IT NEVER HAD TO HAPPEN. Fucking hell- I wish people were more careful when they are making something that everyone will use.

So I decided that all I would be able to do today is my mouse stuff and then go home because I was shaking that I was so upset. So upset. I cried on the way to the mouse facility. And I still don't know how I am going to work in there tomorrow.

Certainly not a good day in the life of Lisa. Not good at all.
