I'm contemplating pulling an all-nighter for my Bio final tomorrow. I know that I really should get some sleep but I am behind (surprise, surprise) and could really use more review.

The Orgo final today was BRUTAL! It was way too long despite the professor's reassurances that we would not feel pressed for time. And while the questions on mechanisms, aromaticity, and biochem were fair, the synthesis problems were killers! *sigh* I left with all hopes of getting any kind of A dashed. I am not sure if I am far away enough from the curve for a B+. I was above the curve on all three midterms that counted (he drops the lowerst) going into the final. But I'm not sure if I'll have enough points plus he might be curving to a B-. I'll find out what I got on the final on Friday. They're letting us view them.

Sooooo now I need an 81 to get a B+ in Bio. I've been averaging an 80 on my tests so it could happen.

But for now I am preparing myself for a minor GPA plunge due to excessive B's. Oh, and I think I have ADD. You know, I'll admit that at first I saw that diagnosis as a bit of an "excuse" or something. It just seemed too convenient; I misunderstood the condition. But I've been working on a self-help book that's gotten me thinking about my major issues. And I was surprised with what I discovered about myself. The theme that kept running through all aspects of my life was an inability to stay focused and do what needs to be done when it needs to be done. Studying for these finals has been torture. My mind wanders off about every 3 minutes, no kidding. I can't stop it. I don't remember if I was like this before. Or maybe I just never tried studying this hard. But there is definitely something not quite right.
