About Me

My express purpose for creating this blog was to put my opinions out there. I don't care about other people's opinion of what I have to say, this is for me.

Chem Exam

I've been looking over stuff for collectively 4-5 hours and I still have 2 and a half hours but I don't know what else to look at, it's only three chapters but it seems like 20 chapters worth of stuff. I'm not good at studying, I don't think I have ADD but my attention definitely has a deficit. I can't focus on chemistry for long periods of time and Bobst really is a bad professor, I haven't met anyone who wouldn't agree with that. I wish I had a better grasp of how to study and chemistry. I feel like I can't retain anything because I don't see how it's relevant to me or my future. I wish there was an applied chemistry course that showed how Van der Waal forces apply to treating an animal. Bobst said that as long as we do connect we will get a 'C' in the class but I'm starting to think he meant that the hw should be helping us to understand the material enough to get a 'C' and of course the homework isn't helping me enough. I can't focus, there is always something else on my mind or just a mental block that I can't seem to understand. If I understood how it all connected I might be doing better but it all seems like random pieces of information and that's not helpful in understanding. Bobst never explains anything fully, he says 'and that makes sense' without ever explaining why. I would go to the SI sessions if I didn't know for a fact that the SI sits and talks about stuff that has nothing to do with chemistry throughout the entire lecture, it's sooo annoying.
Regardless of all my problems with my chemistry lecture I still have to go take the exam and some how mange to pull of a good grade, I honestly believe I'm screwed for the final, it's on Tuesday of exam week and I don't have an exam Monday so you think it'd be perfect, but no my applied calculus final is right before it. I literally have 30 minutes between the two that is sooo stupid.
But I digress, I'm going to go get lunch sit through biology and then it'll be time to see what my little brain can do. Wish me luck.
