Done with finals for the semester. As usual, procrastinated studying, stayed up late, got up early, crammed, blah blah and somehow still manage to succeed. I'll really have to correct that habit one of these days. I swear. I'll probably get a 3.7 this term. I was hoping for another 4.0 to raise my ugrad gpa more, but a 3.7 doesn't really hurt me. I ( Read more... )

Of course, the only time I update this with a State of the Aaron is when I'm procrastinating. In this case, I should be writing up gen chem lab reports. Le Sigh ( Read more... )

I just had to sit through over 8 hours of orientation for my job, most of which doesn't apply to me because A) I'm part-time, and B) I'm still under my parents' insurance until I turn 25. At least I got paid for it. At least I have a stylish ID badge that opens doors for me with a wave of my hand ( Read more... )

Another semester is here! I'm taking gen chem 2 and gen bio 2. Chemistry is pretty cool, although my profs Chinese accent is hard to understand. He even laughed at himself when we started talking about molarity/molality. Hah. Gen bio 2 is probably going to mostly suck, because it covers the large portion of biology (zoology: evolution, taxonomy, ( Read more... )

I've accepted a job offer as a part-time research assistant for a Neurologist who does basic bench research using a rat model of traumatic brain injury induced epilepsy. It's very exciting work! I'm going to be able to do surgery, run experiments, analyze data, maybe do slice electrophysiology or histology! It is without a doubt the best job for my ( Read more... )

Truth be told, now that finals are over, I really don't have anything to do.
Except spend hours-a-day on YouTube! Here's one for the SAT:
YouTube is to regular TV as heroin is to opium.

It's been 101 days without color; time to do the color dance!
Personally, I think this one is about gettin some spring lovin.

Zen dream snippet of the day: a bunch of asian men at some sort of fair were riding those old-timey bikes with really large front tires, and small rear tires, around a ring in a circle very quickly. There were so many of them, I was surprised they managed to do it so well without crashing into each other ( Read more... )

I was having a running-slowly-from-something-abstract dream last night, and I started feeling out of breath/lungs burning sensation. Because of this my dream transitioned into some kind of a made-for-TV educational program about the part of cellular respiration when, in the citric acid cycle, GDP is flipped to GTP so ADP can flip to ATP, but if you ( Read more... )
