Yeah so here in a bit... and by bit I mean within the next week or so.. I think I am going to get on a sleeping schedule. Ever since I got done with university I have had a really random sleeping schedule. It was a few days ago where I stayed up to 9 in the morning and got up at noon (this has happened more than once). That is pretty ridiculous. I  ( Read more... )

I got accepted to our local hospital's Medical Technology program that begins in August. I was a surprise to me seeing as my GPA is pretty horrible. Regardless, having this 7 month break off for school will be nice but at the same time I really want to try and find a job. An expendable income would be really nice. 

Well I finished my last semester of "school" I guess you could say. However, I still have another year left for the internship at the hospital (I am keeping my fingers crossed that I get in at the hospital in my town). This semester was nothing short of a pain in the ass but I came out with A's and B's so I guess I can't complain ( Read more... )

Yeah I really have no idea.... I was sitting here about 10 mintues ago trying to understand what is going on with the ADP riboxylation of the diphthamide residue in the diphteria toxin mechanism. Five minutes later I'm drawing eyeballs and faces... and now I am obviously posting here on livejournal. My attention span is comparable to that of a ( Read more... )

Yep been in school for a while and I can see that it is going to be "one of those semesters". For those of you who don't know about "those semesters" they involve a lot of studying and a lot of face melting. On the bright side, I did manage to get my major changed to a double major (Biological Science and Medical Technology).

No more freaking organic chemistry every again. No more reactions. No more reagents. I'm done with this shit. Now onto Pathogenic Microbiology.

The urban dictionary defines 'organic chemistry' as:

'A discipline of chemistry which involved the study of the structure, reactions, compounds, et. al. of organisms and other organic compounds that contain carbon. Often refered to simply as "organic" or "o-chem." Considered by many to be the number one ass-raper on college campuses.'

"After that ( Read more... )

"Kojibiose is a reducing sugar that forms D-glucose on hydrolysis with aqueous acid. Reaction of kojibiose with iodomethane and Ag2O yields an octamethyl derivative, which can be hydrolyzed with aqueous acid to give one equivalent of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-glucopyranose and one equivalent of 3,4,6-tri-O-methyl-D-glucopyranose. If kojibiose is ( Read more... )

Yeah I probably should start posting here a little bit more. With school and all that gets increasingly difficult to do. Regardless, classes this semester are hard... as usual. It probably has something to do with the fact that all of the courses I am taking this semester are 4000 level courses ( Read more... )

Every time someone asks me the question " what are you going to do once you get out of college" I can never give a definite answer. Most of the time the answer is "I don't know". To be honest, I still don't know what I want to do but I have a really good idea of what I would like to do.

So, I had a talk with my adviser earlier this week about ( Read more... )
