I&#8217;ve been struggling through Chemistry although the chapter today about the gases isn&#8217;t so bad and difficultas the previous ones about titration, etc. I think I bombed the last test though. Sitting here wondering whether I belong or whether I can handle this workload is the most challenging thing for me. I need to actually assess my abilities. I guess they say persistance is the key.<\/p>\n<p>As for Biology, it&#8217;s a lot of chemistry involved which really isn&#8217;t too tough but some of the concepts are riddled with math like the delta G and it&#8217;s effect on substrate affinity and the enzymes effect on the activation energy needed to catalyze a reaction. That stuff is somewhat tough. I still have to find a rythm to focusing and getting myself in gear. My mom would be proud though&#8230; despite my grades i am sticking it out and trying to push myself to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>I do have a girlfriend, a sweet little pumpkin haha, and she&#8217;s wonderful. She likes science too and is going to try to get into the ALB program also. I think it will be exciting \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lately, things have been both challenging and looking up for me.
