Did I mention that I finally am done school?!  Yes, it's true. I officially graduate on the 17th.

I stumbled into Macondo the other day after the market and found two used books that put a smile on my face.

And it feels weird. I guess I was so busy this fall that the time just flew by.

The snow has been falling steadily the past week or so. The ice on the sidewalks is hard to negotiate but it's so lovely to walk at night when the air is really still & huge snowflakes are drifting to the ground...or this morning, when I walked to the market with Sonia ( Read more... )

I have a molecular bio midterm on wednesday night. I'm currently studying the different ways in which genes control transcription. Here's what I have so far:

Inducible Expression: the repressor binds to the protein binding site, blocking the protein from attaching & thus preventing transcription. (in other words, the repressor is a cock blocker).

Hmm, haven't written anything in a while.

Thanksgiving was pretty good. Went to the market first (spent 20 bucks! hadn't been in like a month & was out of veggies completely) then drove home with Matt. We didn't end up doing the Kelso chairlift/escarpment hike because it rained all weekend, which I was disappointed about because there's nothing ( Read more... )

I'm in the process of trying to file an OSAP application as an independent student, since I graduated high school over 4 years ago...now since I did an extra semester of high school after that, (took 3 courses) it's telling me I can't do an independent app. ( Read more... )

Yes. So. Here is the rest of the weekend update.

On Friday I had two exams (ew): Principles of Disease, and Farm Animal Care & Welfare. They are two of my easier classes, so I think I did alright in spite of my lack of  time (due to having my biochem exam the day before, and genetics a couple days before that). Now I have my last one tomorrow night ( Read more... )

This is what I found in the office today after my exam:

It's official: I'm no longer trying to get to vet school ( Read more... )

It's looking more like spring outside. Lots of rain today but that means the snow is also melting, and plants will grow, and hopefully we won't have anymore days below freezing this year.

Lastnight I hung out with Michelle & Lara for a bit. I haven't seen them in a while except when we had lunch in the Bullring the other day. We watched Stay, which ( Read more... )

I've been thinking lately. In a really dorky way, but I don't care. I tend to go through each day testing things around me, experimenting, observing. Sometimes (well, okay, often) I sit and ask myself what I've learned that day. There are alot of things (little things, mainly) that are very important to me, but I don't usually consider why I feel ( Read more... )
