Prepping mind, soul and body for Biological Anthropology

As a regular member of the world's student association, I can assure you that the stress I'm feeling today in preparation for my midterm tomorrow will most likely be felt tomorrow as well, and then the next day, and all the following days until December when school finally ends for the quarter. Raw nerves could be attributed to so many things, I dare not start to list them all for fear I wouldn't have time to study for my midterm. Perhaps that's why I'm so jolly about writing this blog...I get to procrastinate on the expansion of my brain just a little longer. But, back from drifting subjects, I'm pretty sure us students should be awarded "best backbone" or "Most stress taken within a four-year period", right along with our Bachelor's or Master's degrees. I've asked myself if this is worth it like 20 times today. Will I really be able to cram so many facts into my head before 9AM tomorrow morning? This is only the first of 3 midterms and I hardly know if I like bio-anth yet or not. A breakthrough in mental prep happened upon me around 3:30PM this afternoon as I sat in my livingroom going over genetics equations with a classmate: "YES! Holy cow, I actually understand this stuff!" It was definitely one of the most exciting moments of my week. Or of the year, for that matter. Science finally made sense to me. I still have a few more hours to buckle down, jam my face in the anthropology textbook, and make more sense of it all, but I'm on a roll. Especially when I opened up my fortune cookie that came with my Chinese dinner from Safeway. It read : you could prosper in the field of medicine. I'll take that as a pass for biological anthropology.
