chibi_trillianStudying is good for you and me. I ought to be studying for my Biochemistry test in half an hour. I have a hard time studying, mostly because I hardly ever need to. I had never studied before in my life before I hit my sophomore year of college. I wonder sometimes--if I actually applied myself, did all the stupid obsessive-compulsive things that most people in my major need to do just to pass, studied nonstop, had no friends outside of my major, did all my homework, would I be graduating with a 4.0?
If I actually applied myself, I'd have to beat my bitch ass up. I'd be a nerd, and not in a good way.
People in my major despise me because I can forget that a test is coming up and still get a B on it. I don't blame them--most of them get A's, but most of them bust their butts for it. I'm a lazy bum, and I not only pass, but I usually do well. I can translate sciencese into plain English or slang with ease. I've used the word "bogart" to describe a chemical reaction (I lost points on that assignment--"Slang is not appropriate in this setting." Fuck me, but the goddamn thing bogarted hydrogens.). This is why I'm thinking seriously about going into teaching high school biology.
Unfortunately, with no teaching experience, I'll likely be going into Baltimore City Public Schools--one of the worst school systems in the US. Badly underfunded, with sky-high student/teacher and student/student violence rates, Baltimore City Public Schools go through teachers like popcorn--hence why someone with only a BS can gain immediate employment, especially if they'll teach science or math.
Maybe I should look into other employment avenues. -.-;
