thumbs up. :]

i think i've mentioned that i have two exams tomorrow. evolution and organic spectroscopy. one hour apart, by the way.
well, my procrastination technique of the day was calculating my potential cumulative gpa based on different grade scenarios for this semester.
AND.
I AM SO EXCITED.
[apologies for the caps. but i'm seriously ecstatic.]
i've been stressing out big time this semester because organic spectroscopy was fun for a while, but now it's just ridiculously, impossibly hard. AND i have to keep above a 3.5 cumulative gpa in order to get my latin honors distinction at graduation. this wouldn't be such a big deal to me, except that i am the *only* one in my graduating class in biochem that will fulfill the requirements for latin distinction. plus, i'm still a bit of an overachiever, so it's just important to me... not that it will ever really matter because i don't want to go to med school or anything like that. it's just something i want for myself.
anyway.
i have been seriously seriously stressing about falling below the 3.5 mark because of organic spectroscopy. i'm at 3.6 right now, and upon looking into my potential gpa outcomes, i feel silly for even worrying. i have so many credits by now that it's not possible for one class to do *that* much damage. in the worst case scenario, which is a C in organic spectroscopy, a B in molecular biophys, and a B in evolution, i will still have a 3.54. so i'm doing the happy dance. i'm fairly certain that i'll get an A in evolution and hopefully a B in organic spectroscopy, but knowing that the pressure is truly off really helps. :] maybe now i can get a little more sleep, stress a little less, and not be sick so much! [and scrapbook a little more too!]

the funny thing is that with the pressure released, i'm feeling really motivated now. i'm not sure how that happened, but it's just refreshing to not have so much pressure anymore. and who knows... maybe i can even get an A in molecular biophys.
