[QUOTE="DarkJester, post: 2634061, member: 3280"] I'm a sophomore at the local school. I'm a biology major and I want to head to medical school. Up to this point I have never been challenged in school: college or highschool. I've been breezing along. Sure, I've had to study, but hardwork is not something I mind. This quarter is my first quarter of Organic Chemistry. The lecture is hard, but I like the challenge. Today was my first meeting of Organic Lab. I've never been fully comfortable in a lab setting but I've managed to make it through my previous labs with A's. Organic Chem lab is a nightmare for me. The tools are tiny, the beakers and flasks are tiny, the amounts of substances are tiny, and my hands are huge and jumpy. I lost over half of my product for crystalization due to jumpy hands and trying to get it from an evaporating dish to a sample vial using a double sided spatula. I messed up my melting point measurement because I was to distracted worrying about the product I lost earlier, and I managed to get barely any crystals from a Craig tube crystalization. <sigh> I'm not use to this. School has always been everything I am and I don't know how to cope with it. I've always been "the smart guy". This class is important to me, and to me going to medical school. If today is any precursor of things to come I don't know how I'm going to manage to get through this and it terrifies me. I don't know what I would be without school - no..I don't know who I am outside of school. Yeah, it sounds weird but that is the way I feel. I feel like if I do poorly in this class I'm not living up to my own standards. My own practically untainable standards. I hardly have any friends, pretty of aquaitances, even people I could hang out with, but no one I feel like I connect with. I've always put all my energy into my school work. I wonder what would happen if I failed the class. Would I change my plans for my future? To what? I've always said I want to be a doctor. I feel horrible. I just had to put that in the air, and couldn't think of anywhere else to say it. Sorry if it isn't very coherent. I feel anything but coherent at the moment. [/QUOTE]
