Still not dead. Very behind on LJ, all apologies.

Am in the library right now, in fact. I have been reduced to skipping class to get things done. Skipping. This is not a thing I do.

Am pondering dropping a class. Wednesday is the deadline. I have also never been in a position where I was considering dropping a class. If it was a regular course I would not be considering it, but it is Design, and I have much, much, work still to be done and am likely looking at a grade that starts with only a 7_, which I do not want at all. It is not my ability to get it done I doubt, but my ability to get it done well without sacrificing my marks in all my other courses and my bloody booth lab.

I will be interesting less boring again at some point, I promise.

I would drop it; focusing on what you need to do in the other four classes is maybe better than sacrificing your grades for only one class. you can always try and get it in a summer semester, which are better for work/focus intensive classes. anyway, that's what I would do.

That is what I am worried about -- it dragging my other marks down. I still have a lab final, several tests, and a midterm, as well as regular labs and homework. I would have to take it next year during term (it's not offered over summer), but. Yeah. *frets* *frets*

there's no real stigma to dropping a class, and it sometimes IS the best course of action (hee. course.) especially if it'll keep your GPA up there. And maybe next year you'll be able to work this class into an easier / lighter semester. yes? :)

Dude, I totally know how you feel, except that in on my classes I'd be HAPPY to get a 70-something.

{{hugs}} We chose this, right?

(except OMFG, if you want to see something TOTALLY exciting, go read my journal. Because you will love it and be excited and OMFG I'm totally spazzing.)

(and are you going in January? Because all the spaces are full now, but they may be opening registration back up again later. TELL ME!!!)

I know that I probably sound like a bitch, but it's really not about anyone but me, about knowing that I could and should do better. If I want to graduate with distinction, I need an 83 average on my engineering courses this year, 4% up from where I was last year. If I really want an NSERC for grad school, I need to maintain at least an 80% over my last two years of study. Which, actually, this doesn't count towards because I decided to stick it out for the Honours Bio degree.

You got the overseas placement? OMG! Hon, I am so very, very happy for you! I know how much you wanted it. YAY.

I am going in January! I am so very, very much going. I'm going to have to miss WEC for the National Conference, but it is going to be WORTH IT. I have never been, and I am so very, very excited. I totally didn't think to use you in the request a roommate thing, though.

Calgary, here we come!

I am Not Blonde now, OMG. I have been a blonde for my entire life.

Personally, I'd drop it. You're working yourself into the ground just to get it done and it's dragging your other marks down with it, which you can't let happen if you want to do honours in bio.


As a side note: Got any idea what area you're going to do the Honours thesis in for bio?
