As much as I try to be compassionate and understanding in life, and as much as I understand how hard it is to be perfect in grading techniques in a class of a hundred or two, it is still frustrating when simple mistakes in life really mess with one's mind and (almost) ruin one's day.

For our third bio test, the average was a 60 out of 80, with the ( Read more... )

JEEEEZ! I am so freakin' unmotivated it is scary. Every day this week I come home, with the full intent of jumping right into my MASSIVE amounts of homework, test prep, and presentation creation, and end up spending an hour (if not hours) putzing around online, undating this damn thing, calling people, and even doing chores! Yikes! It is bad news ( Read more... )

Ok, so this week is shaping up to be pretty much no fun at all. I have an o-chem midterm this Friday, as well as a bio project and presentation on the same day. And then on Monday I have my third bio test, this time on plants. And to top it all off, I work BR Tuesday/Saturday and UWMC W/Th/Sat/Sun. Blah to that ( Read more... )

So, a few things:

1. I have turned in my resignation to the UWMC. As of June, I will no longer be employeed as a phlebotomist. THANK GOD!! Although I love that place, the hours are killing me. Seriously...I don't think I am well. But it shall soon pass.

2. I have turned in my application for a job at the PSBC....which is a bit of a formality I ( Read more... )

So, I am in a fabulous mood! The poster Brian and I created for our Bio class won first place in a vote amoung our peers! To be honest, although we did a fair amount of work for it, I didn't think our topic was that exciting compared to some people (I mean, someone did penguins for god's sake...never heard so many "awww"s in bio lab in my life).

I have decided of late that human frustration, depression, bitterness, and loss are all very odd creatures. I suppose one could even say ironic emotions, although one has to use that word carefully. What is so strange about said emotions is that they create in oneself an atmosphere that longs for, nay, demands, love. Plain, ol' love. Of course, ( Read more... )

First of all, let me just say....

THAT I AM A NEW LEASE-HOLDER AT AN APARTMENT BUILDING!  Woot and such. It is very close to where I live now, a little older, but very clean and well-priced. In other words, practically perfect. I will be living RIGHT across from my managers (who are married and apparently quite Christian..."Christ is the Center of ( Read more... )

Nothing like a good head trauma to wake one up in the morning, that's for sure! My hospital shift today went super super well though, despite the headbutt. Midterm tomorrow...yipes! Off to class and study...'til later!

So, at the moment, I am the only person signed up for French 303 in the summer...and it scares me a little. Not that it won't fill up, I'm sure...but still. Being the personal student of Madama Collins is a little unnerving...even if it is only for one month. Stay calm.

In other news, I seem to have located a new apartment. It is less than a block ( Read more... )

Do you ever have leftovers that you intended to be two helpings...

and then magically they become one? Funny how that works, isn't it?  :)

Pardon me, I must be leaving to stuff my face!
