i know you'd think i'm exaggerating the post's title, but lately everything's not been going right. last wednesday i went to school as usual, running errands all over campus, and the fact that it was raining monkeys and donkeys wasn't helping at all. a kind friend lent me his umbrella so that i could get to the registrar's without getting soaked but i had so much in my mind that i left my phone and folder in the office after my business there. only remembered when i got home, so i had to take the shuttle back to school and get my stuff. waited in the rain for another shuttle to come, which turned up after 25 mins though it felt more like a decade. hopped on, saw julie, talked to her throughout the 15 mins ride home. then guess what happened. i left my folder on the bus!!! ohmygod. how many times can i keep leaving things behind?? thank god my brother boarded the bus for a 6pm class, so i asked him to get it for me. else i'd have to wait for it to come back (which would probably take another hr). -_- then the next day i printed some stuff that i had to read for my research project (that is currently most likely non-existent anymore - continue reading), but totally forgot to bring them home - and i had to meet up with the professor the following morning.
yesterday, met up with my professor, who decided that after making me read up so much on the research and getting me all hyped up bout it, it's probably not wise to invest in this research since i'm graduating in june. well he hasn't really confirmed that he's gonna drop it, but most likely it's a goner. and that's not it! he had to accuse me of taking physio cluster in my biotech major because "maybe i just wanted an easy way out". and when i mentioned that i wanted to go to med school here, he said i'm cheating the system - quoting him, "because your college had an affiliation with this university to train you guys in biotech and after that you should go back to your country; but now you're saying that no that's not what you wanna do, and you're only using this as your stepping stone to go to med school". oh wow, such an open minded professor.
oh there's more! he went on and talk about how we international students are occupying the spaces in the college and are giving higher priorities than the extended university students; and bout how if it wasn't for us flooding the uni they'd have gotten the classes they want. he said it's not fair to them because they're paying just as much as we are. helloooo? we are full time registered students ok? of course we should get priority! besides, we're bringing in money for the university - and loads of it too. or else why did the uni even sign a contract with foreign colleges in the first place!?
you'd think by now he'd stop right, but no, the best part's not revealed yet. he said i'm definitely not going to get into med school (oh, no, trust me i'm not putting words in his mouth, those are his exact words - and he said it with a loud snort) because he said i wouldn't be able to afford it, it's too expensive. then, as if that wasn't enough, he had to pour MORE wet cold paint on me, saying "so what are you gonna do with your biotech degree when you're taking physiology as your emphasis now? who's going to hire you? you didn't take take any courses related to biotech, so you wouldn't have the skills they need!..." yah-dah yah-dah yah-dah, bottom line was that he's implying that i wouldn't get hired by biotech companies because of my lack of skills, and i'm not going to get into med school, so basically i'm screwed.
and today i found out my mechanical pencil that i've been using since i was 13 was gone. apparently 'The Eye' took it cuz i left it in the lab. someone get it back for me from him pls. damn emo. why larrr, why. why is the world against me.
so, how now brown cow? :(

tell me who it is...ill punch him..damn..so cold hearted..splashing cold water on a young girls hopes and dreams....hang on to ur dreams and ignore those who tries to discourage u ok fatty? pras loves u and believes that fatty can do whatever she sets her mind to...xoxo
First of all, kindly tell him that there is such a thing as medical biotechnology or medical science.
Then kindly tell him that if the uni did not impose any rules/limitations on the subjects that you have to take,it's not your fault. Take it up with the uni.
After that kindly tell him that this is a free world, and America is a free country, as according to Jefferson we have the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Lastly, kindly tell him to fck off.
darling pras and anonymous (even though i know who u r), thanks for the concern. i'm fine. his words did not upset me, but only made me stronger. he's right to a certain extent, so i really have to buck up. love you guys! thanks for showing so much concern. :)
No one has the right to tell you what you can/cant do except for yourself. Take the positive side of it and keep going!! Be strong altho ur not a terminator..but at least u can be an alkylator ;-)
