it's not _not_ studying
My prof sent out a thing that if we all sing a Christmas carol before our exam tomorrow at 9am, she'll give us a bonus point. I don't need to say this riles me. Alyssa suggested we all sing "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," and I decided to modify it a bit to conform to our exam:

I made a song
Sometimes I randomly sing little songs while I'm doing things. Usually I'll take a tune I know and make up my own words, and I try to stay to the rhyme scheme. Tonight's little ditty picks up at the end of "America, the Beautiful" and occurred while washing my favorite best chef's knife, which is named Excalibur ( Read more... ) -
no love for the language
I just realized one of those realizations that were floating around nebulously in the back of my head but only a few minutes ago crystallized into words ( Read more... ) -
pleasantness and a dream
Jeannie, Layla, and I sat outside at 8:30 in the evening, on a blanket in the front yard. Jeannie worked on untangling her lace-weight yarn, I enjoyed Layla monkeying around (and made sure she didn't eat grass), and Layla clapped her hands and laughed at lightning bugs ( Read more... ) -
justly rewarded for enduring the semester!
I just found out I got a 107% on my functional anatomy final. This man single-handedly made my semester a living hell because his teaching style is vague, lengthy, irrelevant, inconsistent and unpredictable, and unnecessary -- everything I'm against. He's the prof who routinely has to throw out 3-7 questions from his exams (of only 40 questions) ( Read more... ) -
I forgot what this feels like!
It's WARM! It's 75 degrees out and I'm sitting on my front stoop right now, not reading and taking notes for one of my BS classes, because it's just too pretty and distracting ( Read more... ) -
A meme in which Erin exploits my current lack of reading comprehension skills
Here's the deal. If you want to, you can comment asking me to list 5 things I associate with you. Then you take those 5 things and expand upon them in your LJ. These are the things that Erin (snmnstrz21 named for me to discourse on.

meme ganked from thethinwhtduke
You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their lives, and all of a sudden you think, "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? Since when....???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ( Read more... ) -
I Dream of Treify
For the first time yesterday morning, I had my first "taking an exam and completely not prepared for it" dream. It started out with the TAs telling me what exactly to study (as in, what questions would be on the exam), and I kept brushing it off, until suddenly, it was exam time, and this was the first exam of grad school ( Read more... ) -
some talking points from just the past 2 hours
- found a metered parking spot on the street this morning so I didn't have to use a $4 parking pass for my physics exam, which I expected to only take half an hour (a quarter equals 30 minutes at the meter -- much better rate). I didn't see until after I parked and put my money in the meter (90 minutes' worth, to cover my butt and to give me time to ( Read more... )
