Organization

I need to organize my thoughts, and the best way to do that is by writing.

I have signed up for Data Analysis, which I hope will teach me some skills that I can use, but I think my biggest problem is the disjoint between what I read in a book and learn in a class, and what it occurs to me to apply.

I think that was why I sucked at cell biology and chemistry — I simply saw it as a series of classes, and expected to be easily recruited and then working. Yet, I did not devote as much interest as saying "I majored in biochemistry" would suggest. I still remember when asked on that day in Cal State Hayward, what I would like to do in my future with my major. I said that I wasn't interested in being in front of a microscope, half-joking, but also half setting a rapport with the person talking to me. I knew that when I was 18, and it has proven, despite my best effort (applying to jobs, answering questions on the interviews), true.

I hope I learned from my mistakes and can move on.
