- Retaking some classes in attempt to receive the almighty "major status"
- and I'm not doing that MUCH better than the first time I took the class.
- being a junior and a pseudo-sophomore provides for some interesting situations.
- I've got the same grades as a couple of friends in the major... they just gave them major status because their ACT scores were near flawless. And in one case they wanted more girls for the major. Just let me into the major dangit!
- Feeling like I'll be in school forever...
- Wondering how the heck I'm going to take 20 credits of engineering, chemistry, and physics courses next semester like my advisor has advised me to do, and yet I'll still graduate late.
- Trying to figure out how to fit 2 foreign language courses into my already full schedule before the U gets mad at me....because I chose to fill my high school classes with AP classes and not intro to Spanish classes. (I took two full years of a foreign language in junior high but that doesn't seem to matter...).
- Failure to find and acquire a lab position.
- Failure to have a job/running low on savings
- Having to mooch off of parents and friends to fill up the gas tank really stinks
- Eating Raman everyday wreaks havoc on my digestive track
- Relationship issues
- Girls are annoying.
- and stupid.
- Realizing I do better while in a relationship.
- breaking up and getting back together makes a mockery of my "manhood" and I don't want to do it. But part of me does.
- Got Medical school on my mind.
- I need to find extracurricular activities and leadership positions
- I want to join the U's Cycling team... but I'm nowhere near conditioned enough
- I have a hard time waking up earlier to bike an hour a day
- It's cold outside...
- Need to break down and find some volunteer opportunities.
- Music
- I've been in the worst writers block ever.
- Making music holds a lot of weight to my self esteem
- My bassist finally got home from his mission, and my drummer doesn't want to drum anymore!
- what the heck!!!
- After finally acquiring nice gear and guitars... other aspects of my gear are deteriorating and dying.
- I don't have the time for any of it anyways.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said a man has worth only when he produces more for society than he receives. I feel like I'm just a mooch. Something like finding volunteer opportunities isn't even that hard, but when you're also trying to find a job and worry about all the other stuff it just continues to slip my mind.
I need to just man up and get her done.
I have had a few moments of "light" and cheer the past few weeks though. I got a 92 out of a 100 on my last organic chemistry exam... Maybe I'm not doing as bad as I thought. Who knows.

Wow no wonder you are stressed. School is hard! Keep up the good work, I think it will all work out. Love you!
Congrats again on the O-Chem test, that is really great. Things will work out, just keep working hard, and everything will be worth it.
One thing at a time. It feels like you have to do everything at once. Plus, you now have a professional "get into professional school" counselor in the family. Let's talk, plan and map, and get your ready for med school. Good luck!
At least you're thoughtful enough to map out your frustrations (I like the bullet-point organization). I just get frustrated and can't figure out exactly why! I never even came close to getting an 'A' on an o-chem test--you must be doing something right. (One more thought--it seems like a lot of schools will allow you to count math courses as foreign language. Not so with the U?)
thanks guys. Yeah somebody else also mentioned the math thing, it must be a BYU thing maybe?
What's annoying is they accepted my friends junior high foreign language classes (we were in the same classes actually) but they are playing hardball with me. I'm going to have my high school counselor send up my junior high transcript with a note saying "here are the two years of a foreign language you guys were looking for" and see if that works.
Music counts as a foreign language to most schools too
