uprooting

I feel much better after talking to Donna today. I'm glad I made the decision to speak to her. I was really worried about making an appointment to speak to her. I didn't know what to expect at all. She has given me a lot to think about and a lot to rethink too. This nocturnal habit of mine is probably doing me no good and I'd really like to change. But it is too difficult to uproot a habit which has been apparent for the last 5 or 6 years. I told her I'd speak to her again after exams and we would work out a few ways for me to change my bad habits. I do look forward to doing that.

So I finally dropped biochem 2 today and filled in a form to drop it without academic penalty. I don't think I'd cope too well with that subject. I felt like I was suffocating when it came to writing up my lab book. I enjoyed the laboratory work but I did not like writing up reports. I've had holistic reactions from my friends from biochem2. One actually supported it and wished she had dropped it too. A few had tried to convince me to take the exam regardless of my apparent dislike for the subject.

I do feel guilty for letting Kate down though. We both told each other we would work hard this semester and I didn't really want to tell her I was dropping the unit. I guess I better call her this weekend and tell her personally. Priya was the first one I told, even telling her was difficult. But I'm glad she was understanding about the whole decision and I do sincerely thank her for that. Being the stubborn Taurean I am, I won't budge once I've made a decision. But I'll stick to whatever decision I make, regardless of whether it is right or wrong. Right time to actually do some studying at the uni library...
