"After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest scientists are always artists as well." —Albert Einstein

I got 99 problems and the biggest bitch of them all rules the world
Organic chemistry exam tomorrow and my head is feeling wonky. The sooner this semester ends the better. If I didn't have to work on Friday my modus operandi for Thursday night = boozing it up.
I'm in a constant battle with my curriculum. Organic chemistry is an elephant and when you try to shove an elephant into a corn kernel it doesn't work out well for either party. I tell myself to 'be better' constantly. Study more, pay closer attention, work out more problems -- in the end I still struggle to remember every fundamental and fact.
If you look at my transcript it's plainly evident I'm not cut out to ride with top-notch, wound up pre-medical students. I can't take another four years of memorizing trifle I can look up in books. I accept this truth. I like to write and scouts honor, I do it billennia times better than test taking. My use of the possibly made up word billennia may negate this...
