So I just finished my advising appointment (don't even start on me about not getting advised until the week before Thanksgiving) and found out something that has made me cuss in my head about everything for the last half-hour.
I'm transferring the Franklin College next semester from University Studies. I need two sciences: a biological one and a physical one. I did not know this, so currently I have two physical sciences, and have to take yet another science next semester.
But oh, it gets so much better.
My second science, the one I don't need, is one I am taking right now, Marine Enviroment, and I'm going to either come close to failing it or actually fail it due to some sleeping through a test on my part and a general non-understanding of the material at large. So, this class, that I don't need to graduate or transfer or for anything is basically going to completely trash my GPA and make the next year be even a even bigger struggle to catch up than the last one. And I didn't even need it!
The mistake is basically me thinking that science is science is science and that all four hour labortory courses are essentially the same.
See, the worst thing is, this is my fault.
In my head I'm chanting "I'm a fuck-up, I'm a fuck-up, I'm a fuck-up..." but it my heart I'm trying my damndest not to believe it.
Hopefully I'm be better by tomorrow. Afterall, it does no good not to bitch about everything incessantly. This just has completely ruined my Friday afternoon.
