You had big shoes to fill...
But you failed to do it.
Every two years a new person comes in. And the last two times, it was fabulous.
The first guy was fabulous. He was funny and kind and took the suggestions of those who had been around much longer than him. He took the time to know the members and would talk to them and even reply to our emails.
The second person was even more awesome than the first. She was sweet and made us sweets. She invited us to her house for dinners. She knew the game of hockey and when/when not to play. She was always understanding and willing to help. She always knew when someone wasn't feeling so hot but she always knew what to stay.
You? You're a jerk. You don't communicate whatsoever. You don't listen to the advice of me. Which perhaps it's because I'm female? I see you'll listen to men. Perhaps it is because I'm a woodwind. I see you talking to the brass and rhythm section. I don't care the reason. I find you to be rude. You take songs waaaaaaayyyyyy too fast. You don't tell the woodwinds what song is up. You dont make copies of originals, which is a horrible director move. You haven't made a conscious effort to learn the rules of hockey. You're not very energetic and incredibly cocky. All around an ass.
Sincerely a senior who isn't coming back next year, not as long as you are in charge.

Overwhelmed.
Besides the fact that I'm set to graduate in May, my overwhelmed feelings are of the present.
I know I was somewhat cocky during winter break about my four science courses this semester. Truth is, I'm completely freaking out. Most specifically, O Chem is going to be incredibly challenging. My posts might become a little less frequent, since I'll be focusing on getting through these courses.
We dived right back into material on Friday and I don't recognize all of the terms that Dr. Green was discussing. I guess the nice thing is how all of the students in the course say how awesome Dr. Green is. So, I need to go chat with him, like every day. I don't think just reading the book is going to catch me up on the game.
My evolution course is being taught by a woman from Prague. Her accent is incredibly heavy, so I will have to pay 100% attention to try to learn everything. I really would like to get an A this time around. I also would love to get an A in my intro to bio course. Both of these will help my GPA so much.
My intro to conservation biology course only has 10 students in it. We have a 20 minute presentation later in the semester. I think that sounds like fun because we get to research an organism that has a recovery plan in store. I'm hoping to pick something that is related to the marine systems.
I think part of my other feelings come from that my wedding planning. Since these four courses are going to be taking over my life, I have to put a lot of my planning on hold.
