Perspectives, Anecdotes, and Plain Old Random-ness

Welcome! I hope you enjoy yourself! Sometimes I'll have a review of something on here, if you are interested in actual content.

January 19, 2011 8:37 AM

Last post was January 12th, so I'm not falling too far behind! Yay!

Happy Birthday, little brother!!! I didn't get you anything this year (oops!), but hopefully you can live without another board game, card game, cookbook, or gift card (which are probably the things I would have gotten you anyways). Maybe I'll send you a card in the mail...

Right now I am uploading a ton of pictures to my computer from the holidays - and maybe I'll post a thing or two on this blog! I mean, I don't quite understand what to do, but it could be fun to figure out.

Last Wednesday (12th), there were a few meetings I had to go to (boo) and a lot of homework to catch up on. I seem to be spending the weekends goofing off and the evenings of the week doing everything I can to catch up (and then goofing off).

I don't remember much about Thursday, so it couldn't have been bad or anything. Same with Friday except for the evening. Jersey was shaving his girlfriend's head, then shaved mine and I shaved his. Then I passed out on their couch covered in little bits of hair. When we awoke, I went to shower (since I felt gross) and wore Tony's clothes for the rest of the day - which was spent at the Strong Museum of Play (a ton of fun - you should totally go!).

I got mad at a little kid in the butterfly exhibit because he was hurting them, and afterwards I felt like such a vegan hippy (in baggy clothes arguing about how the animals had feelings) that I wanted to hide under a rock! It was really embarrassing to think that if I had run across myself then, I would have been weirded out (to say the least)! But my friends were nice and understanding.

Oh, and on Friday night I ordered 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and a bowl of soup from a Chinese place and still haven't paid Jersey back the $30 I owe him. Hmm.... maybe I should get to that....

Sunday I went to church like a good little girl and then did nothing the rest of the day except for an excursion to Wegmans for groceries and then lying around like a tool at the guys' place.

Monday I took a Biochemistry exam (I got a 95) and decided that I wasn't going to do my homework anyways - but to cover up my guilt, I cleaned the kitchen, did my laundry, and picked up the floor.

Tuesday I had forgotten that I had a Marketing quiz, so it didn't go as great as it would have if I had had ten minutes to study. Then I had two Spec ID tests - H NMR and C13 NMR - which went pretty well except for a problem on the proton NMR test (which I couldn't remember at all). I spent some time with Urug and Jersey having tea before heading home to work on my Financial Accounting homework.

I managed to get a problem and a little bit done before my Fin Acc class started, and he didn't collect the homework because he knew that no one had done it. (Honestly, each problem says 'expected time to finish - 90 mins', and we had four chapters worth due - come on!) He asked the class if we had any questions and who had looked at the study guide (only me and some other kid). So then he went over the study guide in like 5 minutes and handed out our take-home exams and the study guide answer key. Then we went through the exams and realized that it was the study guide with different numbers, and everyone left.

I didn't do any homework and stayed up until 12:30 AM. I set my alarm for 6:30 AM so I could make myself some pancakes and store the leftovers in the fridge for tomorrow morning.

Instead of making pancakes, I made an "East meets West" kinda breakfast:
- scrambled tofu with mushrooms, garlic, onions, cayenne, and sage
- slice of 'artificial butter' toast
- bowl of miso soup with wakame
- cup of lemongrass tea

It took half an hour to make, but I was very pleased with the results. Normally, I just have the soup and the tea before running out the door, so my stomach was un-used to the idea of solid food in the morning. Well, that's a lie - occasionally I have an apple or an orange. But so much food was good, very good.

I have Biochemistry at 10 AM (why on earth did I think I'd have to get up at 6:30 AM when my first class is at 10 AM??!!), and I'm just passing the time peacefully avoiding my homework. I don't want to go to class today because our regular professor won't be there and the sub is a prof I really can't stand. So I think I might skip and just go into work at 11 AM. Maybe catch up on a few blogs that I'm following and upload some pictures onto Facebook...

Take care today, and keep an eye out for shifty strangers!

mmmmm.... breakfast.....
