Enviro Chem is out to get me

It’s true.  This past week I have struggled to complete my readings and assignments in my classes.  Tired and sore, I was at least calmed by the knowledge that my first Enviro Chem paper wasn’t due until next weekend. I still had time to finish all my readings and take notes for my paper.

Apparently I don’t know how to read the assignment calendar.  Our prof sent out a nice mass email reminder to the class that our paper is due on the 26th. The 26th, of course, is not the 28th.

This semesters’ round with the beast includes strange formulas and mathematical equations.  WTF?  The whole point of signing up for Enviro Chem was so I didn’t have to struggle through math class while attempting to meet my math/science course requirements for my degree. Life would be so much easier if Statistics had counted towards the math/science requirement.  While Stats may make my head spin I can easily identify WIIFM.

Well, I might as well stop panicking and get back to reading my texts and attempting these multi-part questions that appear to have been written in gibberish by a drunk monkey experimenting with crack.  Eutrophication?  Biomass pyramids?  Nitrogen and Phosphorous cycles? All my prof would need to do to make my head explode at this point is to throw in some DAODs, CFAOs and QR&Os.

All of a sudden my *gulp* upcoming Canadian and Military History courses are looking mighty appealing.

  1. Are yhou going officer? Did I already ask you this?

  2. I hadn’t planned to go officer when I enrolled in RMC but lately I’ve been considering it. One of the giant bonus’ of paying my own way at university means there’s no contract to sign.

    My biggest worry about joining relates to how effective I’d be in the chosen career (and I’m waffling about the career path almost daily) as opposed to remaining a civilian. Well, that and the possibility of having to move yet again. I’ve finally landed in a city I like and bought a house I love. I’d hate to move…

    On the bright side, I’ve got another 2 years left (if I continue part-time) before I finish the degree so I have lots of time left to decide. Less than a year if I can strike it rich and could afford to go to school full-time. Of course, if I manage to get into grad school then it’ll be a bazillion more years before I’d need to make the decision. I’m all for procrastination.

  3. FINALLY I can comment! I have no idea what the problem was but every time I tried to comment it would just keep…erm…I’m not sure of the term? Rolling? Nothing would pop up and it just kept trying to load. I don’t know. I’m just glad something came up today. Wanted to say I hope your ankle is doing better. Sounds like you have a ton of things going on right now with school. I really don’t know how you do it!
