The Plan & Misc. Complaints

So, since I've decided to go through with this 'going to med school' idea, I figure that I should have some sort of plan or guidelines to go by. I have done my research on SDN, Old Pre-Meds, MOM MD and various individual blogs but yet, I still feel some what lost. I plan on transferring from my CC to a four-year college in September and reluctantly have decided that majoring in Biology may be my best option. The pre-reqs needed fall under the Biology major anyway and from what I have read, those pre-reqs alone take what? Two to three years to finish? If I were to major in say, Anthropology (which I love) then I am looking at more years finishing my undergrad alone...Do Not Want. The only thing that is making me nervous about that is...well, it doesn't seem very fun. Right now, I get to take the classes that I believe are 'hard' while also taking an online class that is easier. Balancing it out.

As far as the pre-reqs are concerned, I haven't even taken one of those yet. No, not one. Math and I have had a tumultuous past and I decided to mend that relationship before delving into anything else. From what I've read, I'll need that good rapport with math. The only thing that I'm having trouble with is deciding which classes to take first and which ones pair together the best...know what I mean? Like for example: General Biology and...what? General Chem? I can't decide. And I'm way too chicken shish to post my inquiries on any of the forums. As far as my EC's go, well I'm actively searching and I may have to do majority of my volunteering during the summer. I know it may not seem very extravagant to some but I still have my duties to my family and I have to consider that when working out schedule.

Now to my complaints. One of the classes that I'm taking this semester is World Religions. There really is no rhyme or reason why I took this class--I just thought that it would be interesting. The reading is brutal, long, and boring but some of the discussions are pretty interesting. I often wonder what most of these online classes I take would be like in the actual classroom. I swear that the Professor purposely asks 'hot' question to get the online students going. Anyway, this class has it all. It has gunners, religious fanatics, bots (those that aimless follow the lead of others), and those that are just trying to pass the class. Where do I fit in, you may ask? I'm the one who says whatever she wants without anyone being able to call me out on my douchery unless they want to look crazy. Well, one of the discussions was on Judaism and which of the three events that had an impact and significance on the development of the religion: The Exodus, the destruction of the temple by the Babylonians, or the Holocaust. Just take a wild guess what some people in the class picked?
The main and most annoying gunner, whom I shall call gunner and the religious fanatic, whom I shall call bat ish (as in bat shit crazy) and the guy who sweats gunner's sack, whom I shall call bot--all chose the holocaust. I did not. The question is pretty clear and hopefully there are people who will understand why I didn't, IF they have critical reading and thinking skills.

These people, especially gunner, are the ones responsible for me acting like an a-hole this semester. I was fully prepared to play nice--stay off the radar--write my paper and log the eff off but now jerkinism is activated and I can't stop until I get my fill of annoying the ish out of each and every one of them. I have a knack for innocently making people extremely angry. Gunner isn't at full capacity anger yet but I know how to get to gunners. She likes to turn her assignments in a week before anyone else, so because I have no life and am petty, I did 2 assignments that were a few weeks apart and posted them :) waaaay before she did. I'm sure she's scurrying to catch up and to do the others not due for a month but it doesn't matter...the damage has been done.

Allow me to play the song of my people.
