A nothing update because I can.
The first round of Exams for the semester are coming through.. a stark reminder that I need to get myself better motivated. I just can't seem to do ANYTHING lately. And I'm irritabale too - beyond belief. I snapped at three people lately for doing non snap-worthy things. Hopefully I'll calm down some as I get my exams done with. I'll post the grades probably Tuesday so I can prove how smart I am so I can show how I'm doing. Unless I do badly, then I'll pretend I forgot. lol
Speaking of exams, my Eastern History test was SO HARD. I couldn't take notes in the second half from having to write so much. I filled of SEVEN pages of the short-type lined paper they gave me and I'm still not even sure I even *passed* the thing.
And speaking of Eastern History, reading a new book.
"The Rape of Nanking" - Iris Chang
It might take some courage to read this in parts, but it's well worth it, if only to bear some sort of witness to what would otherwise be forgotten and unknown. Yes, I know there are scattered inaccuracies and such, but really, it would all have been lost in obscurity if not for this book. The are so many 'squakers' nitpicking both for and against this book, I can almost sympathize with Chang, who took her own life in 04.
Oh, I was walking down the lab corridor the other day and smelled formaldehyde coming really heavy out one of the labrooms. So I peeked in and they were dissecting *cats* of all things : / Advanced Biology classes are now *Off* the list...
