Red Vs Blue, Me Vs Chemistry


Remarkably one of the most anticipated games of the year, the UCLA vs USC game is finally here. Unfortunately, I am here, in my dorm, not at the game, force to study for my chemistry final that pretty much determines if i pass or not. But the Bruins have my full support and respect, since I have been cheering for them since I was young, and now that I go to school at UCLA. Yes, the game is pretty one-sided, due to the array of talented athletes at USC. Joe McKnight, Mark Sanchez, Brian Cushing, Patrick Turner, Ray Maualuga, and etc. are no doubt extremeley bad ass, and USC's national ranking is no joke, but I'm still for the blue and gold and the huge upset waiting to happen this year, next, and so on. The last win a few year ago had westwood on fire. People raided the streets, beer bottles flying in the air, Riot control everywhere, and the numerous couches and chairs on fire in the middle of street, was a memorable event, that I sadly could only imagine and hear about from 4th years and alumni. UCLA known often as the underdog is no doubt a team underconstruction. Mt. Sac transfer Kevin Craft does have a lot of steps on his plate and is commonly turned to for the reasons for wins and losses. Although, I have mad respect for him for playing through all of the bull shit he gets from everyone. From previous experience, seeing quarterbacks hold burdens over their backs all year and getting shit talked about them, and still playing through all of it, knowing every move you make has a million words to it from everyone watching. Also some new staff, Neuheisel and Chow, have a lot to do for the next few years. The game does not look too bright for UCLA, but the years to come do. USC has much to defend and UCLA has much to gain. It is great game for both sides. And the 13-9 win a few years ago shows that it is not impossible and anything could happen.

Other than the UCLA vs USC game holding me up from studying, I have a lot of work to get done before tomorrow. At 11:30am tomorrow will be a big day for me, as the Chemistry 14-A final begins. I have understood early in the year that I have a huge lack of interest in chemistry. I have learned from this and have set up next quarter's classes in more interesting and helpful classes that will help me find a solid major. But since im still enrolled chemistry, and have no intention in dropping it, due to the loss of financial aid, Im sticking with it and working for a passing grade. There are many people striving for A's or B's in the class, but I'm merely working for that C, to receive credit, and to get the hell out of there alive. Chemistry maybe be easier to others, and maybe because they took AP Chemistry their senior year of high school, but it certainley is not for me. Good luck to those who are pursuing a major in life sciences, but I'm beginning to realize maybe that isn't for me, and that there many more options. And as bob marley says "Don't Worry About a Thing Because, Every Little Thing Gonna be Alright" and I am sure staying stress free.
