Right now, trying to play it cool while studying for biology. I feel like they're SPEAKING A DIFFERENT language and it stresses me out a bit 
It's a required course, sooooooo I'm gonna have to sort that out eventually. 
My advisor told me to take Cell Biology last term which is kind of a higher level biology class... that didn't go well, after the second week I was completely lost and dropped the class
This term I'm taking a beginners biology class and being my own advisor

, unlike the teachers who grew to dislike me deservedly!) because his daughter was a friend of mine.

Right now, adding for Monica, biology is often a weed out class... for engineering, it's usually chemistry or physics, but biology was the weed out class for a lot of other majors. So it's unnecessarily difficult, which is unfortunate because I think that chases people away from pursuing interests when the first class in a sequence is that hard.

Right now I'm saying my dad said something like, "What's so hard about Organic Chem? I aced that course."
