a word on studying

dear tobey,

hiee!! i am so freaking tired of studying. i really had better get a really good grade on this next chem test. i feel like all i'm studying for is chem. i'm not really putting any other effort into my other classes b/c chem takes up ALL my study time! so far.. and stats a little.. god! its really bugging me out. i studied with a classmate today. her name's dela (isn't that a pretty name??) but anyhoo... yeah we got some of our review done. i think after tomorrow, when we work on the activity lab.. it won't be as confusing for me. but i donno tobes. i guess things are better for me. i donno what the heck im gonna do with my major and all. i STILL havent decided. but i talked to my enviromental studies teacher today and she went to UCDavis!! and her speciality was bio diversity, which is what i want to do also. she suggested that i work in a zoo, and get a good internship... i think i will go about doing that. but being a teacher sounds fun too! i donno. god. i just dont know. and it's like.. i HAVE to make a decision soon, b/c every major requires you to take certain classes... based on what school you want to go to.. and if i dont choose now. i'll be at saddleback forever! freaking a. *sigh* k. i think.. enviromental studies it is then.

anyways..! i donno. i feel like my head in going to explode. there is wayy too much stuff going on in there. i mean. studying so much is making me dizzy. but i guess its good for me? like.. atleast i know i can just do it now. before i used to do anything BUT study. i'd always take the easy way out. i'd cheat on tests, study half heartedly... yanno! i'd rather stare at the wall than study. but now i just do it. and it's something i had to learn how to do. but really, it was so simple all along tobey. people are always asking.. "how do i study? i dont get it". or "i'll do it later.. i'm tired.. i'm busy.. i've got more important stuff to do.. etc. etc." the thing with studying is.. even if you don't get it the first time. you can't give up on it. if you give up that easy.. you're just taking the easy way out. you know what i mean? even if it takes 5 hours of reading the same thing over and over again. if that's what you gotta do to understand the material, then that's what you gotta do. cause for me, i literally sit for HOURS at chem. and i get through like 2 problems. but if that's what it takes for me to do those 2 problems, then i'll do it. and i DO think it's worth it, cause i'm understanding what i'm learning. and that will ultimately lead to a good grade. you have to make school one of your first priorities if you expect to get good grades in tough classes. and that means before having fun, and before work. and i seriously study on friday, saturday nights. but i donno tobey. i know that it's all worth it in the end. i mean, i love my buddies and all. and if anything came up.. like an emergency. OF COURSE, i would put that before studies. i mean. i'm not THAT obsessed with getting a good grade. but what i mean is that.. just do your studying FIRST, then have fun. :) anyways.. i could go on. but i'll stop. b/c i have studying to do. and sleep to catch up on!! 99 tobey. �
