Today was very hard to live. I spent two hours in a
chemistry lab trying not to protest that all was not well at all! I don't think
it is as hard for anyone else. Biology and Chemistry is not sticking at all. I
thought I had it under control when I only had to learn 20 amino acid structures
by heart. Then today I had two hours to spend in the lab (which is going to be
three hours soon.) Everyone seemed to get things and they were asking questions
and they were putting things together. But not little me. I helped clean out
the glasses we had used and that is all. We boiled salt and water together for
some reason. I was told what the reason was, but it was so scientific I just nodded
and pretended I knew what they were talking about. I want to know the answer,
but I don't know how to ask the question. How do
you say "could you explain that in kindergarten language please?" All
of these other kids had gone to a biology and chemistry class in high school. I’ve
never taken anything scientific before. I am supposed to be an Entomologist, if
I'm not, does that mean I am going to become a mom at age 21 and stay like that
until I die? Today I found an orange Papilio Lepidoptera caterpillar outside of
the math room. I picked it up cautiously incase its pheromones were toxic to my
skin. The smell of its pheromones was very pleasant. I rushed back to the house
and but it is in a cup with some leaves and then rushed as fast as I could back
to class. Then when I realized I had to stay in the class for more than an hour,
I prayed that the caterpillar wouldn't suffocate until I got home. After I did
finally get back, I took it down to my room and just laid on my bed wondering
if I should cry or play the cello. I played for a bit (probably disturbing Lad)
but I felt much better. I paced in my room looking at my biology text books,
home work, lab text, experiment pages and all this other stuff. I thought about
taking it all to a bomb fire and dancing around it but then remembered how much
my mom paid for it, so I didn't. So I stacked it all in a pile and but the less
threatening part of the biology text on the top so that I wouldn't become
depressed if I accidentally glanced over at it. The girls in my group at the
lab are very unlively. They of course don't want to be there either. Chatting
on my email to my parents didn't help. I started tearing up a couple times
praying for them to agree with my pain, but they failed me and I don't think
I'll sleep very well tonight. I have biology tomorrow.
