Impossible Entomology and the Damn Dam!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I HATE ENTOMOLOGY!!!! Why oh why did I subject myself to this torture?! I have nowhere near as many specimens as I am supposed to. I need 19 Orders, I have maybe 12. I need 60 families, I will be lucky to have 30. I screwed myself over on this project. I honestly thought I had enough until I started identifying them and lo and behold, I have a bazillion duplicates! And obviously now there is no chance of finding more, let alone by Tuesday. This just breaks my heart knowing I killed all those bugs for no fucking reason. I won't even have a decent grade to justify it with (not that that assuaged my moral discomfort much anyhow). I keep flipping between stressing to no end and not caring at all because I can't do anything to change it. To be fair, everyone else I have talked to in class is in a similar predicament but I doubt that they could all be as bad off or else they would all be pitching a fit to the prof... I just wish it were over already and I could pretend it never happened.

My skin is fairly crawling with worries about this collection and the damn Dam project for Conservation. Off to get them done hopefully soon and then on to study for the actual exams themselves. Oh I do so love academia. *nauseous*

Huggles, because I need them.
