(not that this would be of any use to me or anything)
I must say my Dev. Genetics class is enthralling. The past few weeks we've been going into methods of genetic manipulation, lovingly termed mad science. I now have the knowledge to put eyeballs where antennae should be.
... or a monkey with 4 asses.
Gotta get back to the books.

I had no idea, up until tonight, of the usefulness of the baseball cap. I always thought they were only good for blocking out sun and giving you really bad hat hair. I learned tonight that if you tilt your head down low enough on your desk during boring classes, you can hide behind the brim and fall asleep unnoticed! Or in my case, you can roll your eyes and make faces everytime that annoying classmate speaks up.
Thursday nights my dreaded English class takes place. I hate hate HATE English class. And I know for sure that I do because we just spent a few hours discussing a 16-page essay on the word Hate. My class is filled with nerdy linguists who are capable of churning out numerous pointless "deep" thoughts on ONE MEASLY SENTENCE!
Teacher: "...he goes on to say 'one of us will be gone, one mind less, one world less...'"
Annoying ass kiss-ass classmate: <interrupting> "I think it means that his mind is an embodiment of his soul, his inner being, his consciousness that only he is aware of, in a sense, his world."
Teacher: <closing her eyes in concentration, nodding in agreement> "Wow, that is very insightful, beautifully stated. Well done."
Meanwhile, I'm hiding behind my brim, rolling my eyes and making faces, carefully inspecting my fingernails and daydreaming about the day I get to eat at Sonic.
Baseball caps are the shit.

I hardly have anything truly great to boast about. Until now. Pardon me while I take some time out to be totally conceited and KISS MY OWN ASS!!!

To the uncivilized idiots of the world, specifically those present at CSUH'S computer lab:
COVER YOUR MOUTHS YOU SONS OF BITCHES

Unbelievable. Im sitting here in the computer lab at school once again and remember that one neanderthal who was searching for treasure up in her nose? Well now I'm sitting here once again, trying my best to concentrate on writing a lab report for microbiology and I got two bitches on both sides of me hocking up loogies. That's right.. not one but TWO. They've got them in sync, too. God hates me.

We were looking at atomic spectra in physics lab today and I made some random comment about how Helium-Neon laser's central spectrum resembles the Eye of Sauron ... and now I have this suspicious feeling that I've secretly been labeled the class geek. I usually have no problem being a geek, but when you're singled out like that in a room full of potential Trekkies, you have no idea what to think of yourself.
P.S. The Eye of Sauron also resembles a vagina. A vagina suffering from a most unfortunate venereal disease. You know you thought so too!!!

I'm reporting live from CSUH's South Science computer lab and some neanderthal sitting beside me is picking her nose. I'm talking an I-have-no-shame, I'm-searching-for-treasure type of nose picking. I've already given her several dirty looks and so did the person sitting to the left of her. I especially love how she carefully inspects her right forefinger after each "treasure hunt" and proceeds to bless the publicly used computer keyboard with her freshly picked harvest. Thank you ma'am!

It's been a week since the new school quarter began. And this is what I'll be occupied with for the next 9 weeks.
Micriobiology
Immunology
Light & Modern Physics
Biochemistry
Two of those classes are 6-unit classes at 8am no less! The question is, should I allow the impending stress, agony and chronic procrastination slowly eat away at me from the inside out over the span of the 9 weeks, or should I just shoot myself right now?

It's that time of the year again for me! The time in which I will find the most ridiculous things to do in place of something important. The time in which I often get the urge to vaccuum behind my dresser, alpabetize my cd collection or color code my closet. Yes, it's time for FINALS! Dun dun DUNNN.
Ahem, case in point:
Note, that if it weren't for the phenomena of looming finals, one would have to possess a high to moderate degree of intellectual subnormalities to pose a teddy bear in such a fashion and take pictures of it to post on a website.
But isn't it a cute little photo?
Sigh.
I have to go and recharge my brain now. I decided I hate Heinrich Lenz (1804-1865). Who cares if an if the polarity of an induced emf produces a current whose magnetic field opposes the change in magnetic flux? I mean, I highly doubt that's something I'm going to need to know while living a life of 24/7 riches in Beverly Hills ... when I marry Michael Vartan, of course.

The freaking budget is screwing up my graduation date. This is all bullshit. I have to pay nearly twice as much for tuition than last year and they're cutting classes left and right. This is not being offered in the summer, this is not being offered in the fall, BLAH BLAH BLAH.. what it is is all bullshit I tell you. The extra 300 dollars me (er, my parents) have to shell out every 10 weeks.. where is it going? Is the governator is using the extra cash to install several tanning beds at the mansion? Perhaps the FCC needs more money to investigate Janet Jackson's breast. That's where all the money is going, folks. To breasts and tanning beds. Which is exactly why the young adults of today, the HOPE FOR THE FUTURE, cannot take Biochemistry in the fall and have to wait 6 months to take it!!!

I hate, hate, hate, hate my evolution class. I used to like evolution but having to read about the molecular and genetic aspect of it every single effing night from a book that is soooooo stupid is making me want to diss evolution. We have a "quick" 30 point quiz at the beginning of every class asking questions like "How do RNA intermediate retroelements copy themselves into a genome?" or "Why can't we define a species in a universal manner?" or "How does a fused chromosome persist in the genome?" How can I possibly know the answers to these ridiculous questions when every night I'm busy trying to throw my textbook into the fire instead of reading it.

I still can't frikken believe they've got a camera roaming around on Mars. It's just so damn crazy. One of these days I'm expecting to see some freaky alien all up on the lens (like that birthday party in "Signs"). Oh my lawd, that would be so cool.
This quarter's going to be tedious (I'm taking molecular biology, evolutionary biology, organic chem - my nemesis, and physics), but I can already tell I'm going to learn a LOT! For instance, this week alone, I learned:
- that Jamie Lee Curtis, generally thought of as an "manly woman resembling a horse," is actually a male, based on her genetic makeup. Yes, folks, Miss (er, Mr.?) Curtis posesses a "Y" chromosome and a genetic defect prevents her/his/its body from utilizing the significant levels of testosterone she/he/it produces. :-o
- that my classmates are disgusting. I was sitting in front of a girl who was digging her earwax out of her ears with her pen. No shame.
- how the Tacoma Narrows bridge collapsed (interesting)
- that triplet codon sequences in mRNA templates, as opposed to double or single codons, are advantageous to transcription because the three nucleotides are able to bind to the tRNA anticodon more efficiently via hydrogen bonding. Ahaha. Ok now I'm showing off. I love biology.

Yippee!!! I am happy to report that I have NO papers to write this quarter! I could not believe it myself. Of course in exchange for that freedom I have to read 30 pages of Evolutionary Genetics a night!@#$! And worry about weekly lab write-ups for 3 classes ... and worry about having 4 quizzes a week. Actually, I take back the yippee and change that to GRR!!
I have to go read now. Weep.

This must be said: I HATE HATE HATE ORGANIC CHEMISTRY!@!!$!@#!@! Not the subject, I'm sure if conditions were different I'd enjoy it considerably.. actually let me rephrase the above declaration: I FRIGGIN HATE HATE HATE MY ORGANIC CHEMISTRY TEACHER!@!!$!@#!
Okay, I'm off to fail the final. Bye bye now.
[Addendum] My hatred would turn to admiration should he pass me despite my mediocre grades.

This is the reason why I've been MIA (in some respects) for the past 3 months. It's finals week, and I'm about to spend 5 days getting very cozy with these books. And if nobody hears from me ever again, it's probably because I had a brain hemorrhage due to educational overconsumption. Just so you know.
