wai~!!! ^^
It's raining outside, but I am remamrkably upbeat despite this. I was chexing my f-list just now and realized that in an interesting twist, both Peanuts and Foxtrot have rain in them too. But that wasn't what I wanted to blabber on about.
I don't remember much of yesterday. It was just there I guess. Although I do know that I didn't go to my psychology lecture again because I was way tired. I have to make sure to get there tomorrow morning. *mental note* no more before 9am classes... EVER. Umm... yeah. Meh. I went to bed uber-happy, I remember that bit at least. And by uber-happy, I mean the happiest I've been in a couple days. It was awesome. Anyway...
Woke up today to the realization that my psychology paper was due at 3 pm and that I had about an hour and half to write it. I procrastinate too much. Yeah... so class and such.
I think I may have found my main interest in biology though. For the first time all year, I found myself paying full attention to the speaker for the entire hour and a half. I have 4 pages of notes to prove it. The topic? The effect of toxic algae on certain types of copepod (sp?) and their resitance build-up to the said toxins. It was all like, ecological and ocean-centric and everything. (cuz that made sense) Anyway, it made me happy. I guess I always sorta knew that I was more interested in the ecology and marine stuff than anything else. *sigh* Now if only my parents could see that. They still want that MD/PhD from me. Umm... how does MD fit in if I want to study marine biology and ecology...? Meh. It'll all be figured out eventually. But it was nice to get some of my direction back I suppose.
Gah... I don't even remember what I wanted to write. I started this at 8 pm, picked it up at 1:30 am and just changed the time to a place inbetween. Ah well... I go now.

Good to know I'm not the only one with parents expecting doctoral work out of them. Gah.

It's great that you found your niche, though!
And you are not your parents. Get what's right for you, be it bachelorette's, mistress's, or whatever degree you like.[2]
[1] Anyone who doesn't get this joke needs to watch more television reruns.
[2] Bachelor and Master are gender specific (male) terms, dammit!

pfft... parents... They just never know. That or they just refuse to see...

anyway... yes, finding my niche was very good for me and you better believe i'm going for the degrees i want rather than being told what to do. wheee

And there are no gender neutral terms currently available in English that I can think of.
