It seems in lab I get chances to strike conversation with Yoshimi (IE: lab partner left their cuvette in my test tube rack or some calculations were confusing…) I totally fail. >< And he’s soooooo polite, always saying thank you. <3
You know you’ve made an impression on a classmate when they include you in Christmas and valentine gifts. :3 Brooke and I surprised each other today when we both had little valentine treats to give to each other. lol
We were babysitting a friend’s Yorkie last weekend. Ozzie is an incredibly adorable dog but it upset me when my mother kept calling Ozzie “little man”… Wiley was and still is my only little man. D:
This weekend I’m watching Kat’s Dog Emma. :3
We were at the vets last Sunday b/c Stacie’s wife’s puppy was ill. Don’t buy pets from the mall, they all are sick.
Stacie was telling us that she was getting a Great Dane. I joked that she should name it Scooby. Anyways, I’m excited that hopefully I get to care for the Great Dane for a bit.
Movie: Temple Grandin - It’s about this autistic woman who saw the world in pictures and was remarkably brilliant in science and engineering. She took an interest in cattle and discovered more humane ways on corrals for cattle and less stressful atmosphere for when the cattle are going to be slaughtered. Because she was hyper sensitive she was able to see the world through the cattle’s perspective, knowing what would make them calm.
What really bothered me was how ignorant and insensitive people were in this movie. The girl is terrified and trembling in front of an automatic sliding door. All of her peers just stared and laughed. It really upset me that not one person put in the effort to help her and “stop the scary door.”
She was a brilliant woman and on top of that she was able to succeed in a sexist world. ^_^ At first I didn't want to watch this movie because my mom failed at giving a good synapses of the movie and made it sound totally uninteresting. In the end I found the movie to be really meaningful and good. <3
I just finish the stupid CPR essay/grading thing for my bio class and it’s totally subjective and a load of bullshit. >( I already know I’m going to get a bad grade on it because I’d even graded my self horrible on it even though I spent close to 4 hours writing it.
Obviously I’m shooting for a A in this class because I’m a perfectionist and I’ll be totally crushed if I get a C at the end of this semester
BIO Midterm 2/16, CHEM Exam 2/17, BIO Lab Practical 2/18
I totally screwed up on my Chem qz last Monday. I still don’t sleep well, so I had a sleepy/dyslexia moment and read carbon monoxide as carbon dioxide. I did the whole problem wrong. >< luckily she still gave me partial credit. ^^;
I hate Mondays... If it can be avoided I’m never taking a class earlier than 8:30am.
It’s just bloody messing up with my sleep patterns. I’m now accustomed to waking up at 5am for Mondays and Wednesdays that I’m now subconsciously waking up at 5am on the days I don’t have to be up so early.
I just want this bloody semester to be over with. Especially my bullshit BIO class. It’s a science class for crying out loud not an English class, why in the hell and I’m spewing out more essays than I have ever written in an English class?
I’m bloody thankful that I don’t have another 13 page lab report to do in Chemistry until April… but somewhere in between that I do have a research project to do which will probably take just as much work.
I need a vacation… oh wait I won’t get one because I’m taking summer school so my subject load won’t be has heavy as it is this semester. *angry fail*
How I plan to spend my valentines day: Eat, Sleep, Study >(
