science is sexy

i'm balls deep in school work already and it's the first week. i'll kick and scream the whole way through the term, but really, i love this stuff. i love sitting in the front row and absorbing more information than i ever thought my pea brain could hold. i love viewing simple squamous epithelial cells through the microscope and firing up the bunsen burner. i love leaving the lab with raccoon marks from safety goggles and taking pages and pages of notes in cryptic scribble that i'll later spend hours pouring over in some 24 hour coffee shop at 3 am, for yet another test.

college suits me well, so i'm ok with still being in it. this is really my final attempt at getting admitted to nursing school. i'm going to apply again in january of 2010. if the powers that be deem me unfit for the program then i'll choose a new adventure. until then i will doggedly pursue the highest marks in classes that sound as scary as they are. classes like cellular biology, microbiology, and medical ethics. have no fear, beanie can do anything she puts her mind to. even synthesis of biodiesel using grease from the schools kitchen to complete the process of transesterification.
