Chirality

Chiral- it sounds derogatory, but tisn't.

As you may have guessed, I have another test this week- CHEM232 exam deux. It's gonna be epic...in a bad way. O well, that's what a curve is for (hopefully).

This weekend was pretty nice. Went out on friday, stayed in saturday, and studied today. The weather is starting to take a turn for the brisk, but I'm good with that.

Aside from the test on wednesday, I need to meet with my advisor to pick my next classes. That's gonna bite- I don't really wanna hear about all the stuff I need to do for my major. There's just so much to think about right now- schedules, classes, james scholar requirements, housing (haven't even started looking), lollipops, unicorns, narwhals, penny candies...yup, lots of stuff indeed.

Home next weekend for the sis's engagement party. Watch out CL, I'm-ma comin!

*Update: So I just got back from a review session that went an hour over schedule, and we were told the average for this test is a 28%....2-8...twenty-eight...percent. Bogus. I mean, why give a test when it's that hard? Obviously, we are all decent students here at the u 'o' i. There's no point in giving a test when you know half of it will make no sense whatsoever to basically all the students. Rant over.

Sea Cow

Me and Maria Bamford! Gosh durn I heart her. So. much...<3

So it's Saturday. I'm in for the night- at first with the intention of getting some homework done, but to no avail. Whatever- it's all good- just spending a relaxing night watching some South Park, Office, Criminal Minds, etc. It feels good.

Yesterday, besides seeing the comedy show, I stopped by a friend's place and we played Mario Party- old school N64 style...what up, step to this. Very fun night indeed.

"Sound of Settling"

Death Cab! On Sunday a bunch of the hometown crew came down to Chambana to see them. I swiped this pic from Agnes...meh, I was the one who got the shots for her anyway. They were so good live and we had such good spots on the floor. Sorry I quoted their most known song (minus indie cred points for me). Honestly though, I haven't heard much of their stuff 'til the concert, but they were such good musicians, it didn't matter. They rawk sox.

So yea, the weekend was thuroughly enjoyable- hanging with the CL-ites is always a blast. It kinda sucked that the concert was on Sunday though, cuz it really messed me up for the start of the week. But I think I'm fine now. I had my second MCB250 exam- difficult of course, but I didna leave crying so that's always a good thing. O and I got my two shirts in the mail today- one from ashley bedore and the other from threadless, both quite facemelting.

Coming home Halloween weekend for my sister's engagement party. Bitersweet- Halloween on campus was awesome last year, but I'm sure I'll have lots of fun hanging with Lugo and the rest back home for the holiday. And o yes, family is always a pleasure.

Maria Bamford on Friday- getting excited. I hope she stays around after the show and I hope I get to at least say hi...she and Tina Fey are the best comediennes hands down.

Autumn is for the Awesome

Happy October! This is a photo from last year, but it gets the job done. So this weekend I got to go home. Just chilled, hung with some pals, and got away from the craziness of campus life. But now, as always, my week is packed, but I do have reason to celebrate soon. For now though, tonight I have a MCBlab test. Wish me luck. As for last weeks CHEM test- 57%- ouch...but wait! With the curve... a respectable B, ha- gotta love those kinda classes.

SUNDAY(10/12)- Death Cab Concert
TUESDAY(10/14)- Sarah Silverman Program Vol2 comes out
FRIDAY(10/17)- Comedy Show with MARIA BAMFORD!

-if I just keep those dates in mind, I won't go crazy

Bonus!

O aren't you lucky- and extra post today!

It's a poem...so, yea...don't laugh...out loud.

Looking back, I kinda got a patriotic vibe from it, but my take was a little more "we did it all for the glory of love"...whatever, take as you will...

(MEDIC)
Let's show them
Let's show them our cuts, our wounds;
our bumps, our bruises

Let's show them our gashes and scars;
broken ribs and bloody knees

Let's show them
show them all

Take off the sling
unwrap the bandages;
let the blood fall.

Let's show them
just how hard we fought...

just how God damn hard we fought.

A parade?
F*ck that.

Malfunctioning

Taken on my friend's Mac. photoboof: a waste of time for a whole lotta narcissism. Anywho, I read my last couple posts, and it seems like I talk about my science classes alot...and today will be no exception.What can I say, it's my major and it's a pain in the Alanine-Serine-Serine (or Angle-Side-Side for all you math majors). So yea, MCB and CHEM are really starting to kick in, which bites b/c I am so not in the swing of things yet. In fact, I missed a whole online hw asignment last week in 250. O well, I think we get to drop some of those so it'll be fine. Aside from that- or better yet- on top of that, I have a very big CHEM test tomorrow which I don't feel too confident about. I'm gonna do a lil' bit more studying tonite, but after that, I can only hope for the best. So yea, 232 test tomorrow, 251 test next week, labs, more labs, and o yea...labs.

As for non-scientific news, I gots my two papers done for PHIL and ANTH, which is a miracle considering how much I spend actually focusing on those subjects. Writing the PHIL paper just made me hate the class more- two revisions, and a whole lotta cursing on my part. ANTH was pretty straight forward- short, sweet, and painless.

Going home this weekend- twill be grand.

But for now, I've just recently hit the ground, and now I'm running...

fast.

I am Jack's white knuckles, gripping the stress ball.

All Work & No Play?

I think not.

About last post... I guess I didn't get to stay in and chill as much as I had first planned. Meh. The weekend was enjoyable nonetheless. I went to a sweet dance party saturday- haven't been able to dance that much (or that epicly ha) in quite a while. Twas very stress-relieving.

Anywho, school's going well, but there is just SO MUCH to do. Between labs, papers, and a group presentation, these next couple weeks are going to be a trip. In fact, we figured out in lab on tuesday that people in MCB250/251 and CHEM232/233 have tests every week starting next wednesday until THANXGIVING BREAK. Errrrrgggggg. Not to mention the other two classes I barely have time to pay attention to, yet need just as much focus on.

Hopefully it'll all work out.

Mkay, now I need to work on my labs. Ughm.
