I've got to learn how to fight off these doubts that keep assailing me. Forget science - If I learn how to deal with this, I'll be just fine.

Essays... I'm a scant 100 words ahead of where I was last night. Trying to think about having fun with them and not worrying so much (hey, it worked the past two years), but for some reason I'm stressing out about both of these classes. I don't know why... perhaps because they're in areas I'm not so fond of. California's not a bad place, but it's just not medieval europe. Same goes for medicinal practices in ancient civilizations - I'd rather be studying social interactions between barbarians and 'Romans' during the fall of the Roman Empire. I'm just not fired up about these periods of history. At least I won't have to take another out of concentration class after these two...

And hopefully I'll make As in these two courses, do decently in 122 and 110, and bring that damn GPA up above a 3.0 so I can apply for the Bishop Summer Study Abroad program next term. I'd like to do some field training in Scotland or Ireland or England, go to a few classes at the summer programs at the University of Edinburgh and travel afterwards, but the min GPA required is a 3.0. It's waivable (so they say), but I'd rather be in the clear.
