Blah

Blah. I update because it's been like a week since I last did and yeah.

I have finished all the first tests of the semester. I'm kind of angry at myself, because I took my chem test this evening, and on one of the questions I worked the first part out, but then I completely forgot what equation to put it into to find the rate constant. But since it was multiple choice I put my best guess down, which really was a completely random guess. And there was only one question on free response I was completely sure about, but I'm sure I got more right than just that one. I at least got partial credit for the others.

And so since the test ended and I got back to my dorm I've done like no homework. I did most of my Italian that is due tomorrow last night, so I just had to do one part of it and I did one part for the assignment that is due on Thursday. And I only have part of an introduction for my chem proposal done, but I'm not working on that right now. I wanted to try to get it done early, but I'm pretty sure I'm just going to end up staying up late tomorrow night trying to finish it.

I don't know what else to write. Nothing is really going on right now, other than the normal. Although there is one thing that kind of pisses me off. So I think it was last week, or maybe the week before, I was running late to chem and I was hurrying to catch up with come other bikes crossing the road so I wouldn't have to stop and wait for the cars to go by. Well I guess that day the campus police decided to be on patrol or something, because I got pulled over and given a warning because I didn't come to a complete stop. The one time I didn't, naturally that happens. Yet I have a feeling that if those two people ahead of me hadn't seen the cop there they wouldn't have stopped. I didn't see him because one there were a few people in front of me and two the sun was partially blinding me. I've been stopping where I'm supposed to since then, but it pisses me off because almost everyone else I see, especially on the side streets, just zooms right past the stop signs. They don't even bother to slow down. And yet they don't get caught by the campus police. This just came to mind because they were out there again today.

I really wish I had something more to write. I think I'm going to stop with Italian after this semester? I was thinking maybe I should just take two semesters so I could be fairly fluent in it (although since I'd never actually use it I'd probably forget a lot of it) but I'm not having the best of luck in there. If I take a language next semester, which I want to do because I'd like to know more than just English, I'm going to take Japanese. Originally my top choice was Russian, but I think I'll make that number two right now. I think Japanese would be easier for me (although probably not the case, but I'd be more willing to give the time to learn it). I know a bit already, that I've picked up from watching anime.

And speaking of anime, I always knew Axis Powers Hetalia was good for the brain. I was watching episode 35 today and I learned that the first modern Olympic games were in 1896 because France proposed they have them. Or maybe not France in an entirety, but a Frenchman maybe? Since in the show the countries are in human form I'm going to say France. I've learned a couple other things from it as well. I really think it should be a teaching tool used in history classes.

I like it how I turn out to be right

I won't go completely into detail about why the title is true, but I'll talk about school related stuff, kind of. So it's taking forever for chapter 99 and episode 23 to come out, and I told myself that my week was going to suck until I read/watched those two things respectively. Well, it turned out true. I can't completely remember everything, I can't really remember much before noon, or before my last class. Let's see, the most recent thing is I missed the first pre-pharmacy club meeting. I had it written down on my board, and I remembered this afternoon between classes. I was going to write a note on my computer so I wouldn't forget, but I figured I wouldn't. But two hours after it ended it dawned upon me that I missed it. And I was pissed. But I blame it on laundry. Sad thing is even looked at the time on my phone right when it said five and didn't remember. Yeah, the laundry. So I went up to do laundry since I have Astronomy Club meeting tomorrow after classes so I wouldn't be able to do it until later(and apparently I'm too lazy to do it in the morning, which I did last year and it was pure bliss because I was the only one doing it at the time) and it was pretty full. There were two washers open so I put my laundry in, and went back after approximately 35 minutes, although it takes 38 minutes but I went early in case someone else needed to use the washer. Well I went in and it was stuck 10 minutes. So I went to check it, then pushed the cycle I wanted again like it said to. Five minutes later it was still at ten minutes, so I checked to make sure it was mine (I have no clue why I did that) and then pushed it again. And I stood there this time waiting and it was still at ten minuted. I had no clue what the hell was wrong, but after about twenty minutes in the laundry room I got it to work, so then I had to stand there and wait for the ten minutes. And by that time all the dryers were full, but luckily one was done so I just put the blanket that was in it on top and put my stuff in. Then I came back to the dorm, then went back up to get it. There was nine minutes left. I stood there for a couple minutes, but then I was just sick of being in the hot laundry room, so I stopped it with seven minutes left and came back and was done with it. Except when putting it away I noticed the one pair of underwear I had in there was missing. So now I'm slightly paranoid and thinking that the reason my laundry was stuck at 10 minutes was because someone went in and took them and then didn't close the door correctly when they opened it back up. I have no other explanation for it. And it was a pair I like. Luckily I only threw one thing in there. I'm pissed though. And also when I was walking back down after getting my laundry in the dryer (it actually happened as I was walking out of the laundry room) my stupid flip flop broke. I just starting wearing them too, because my blue ones have been worn so much there is nearly a hole in the sole. I experienced how bad this is because I nearly burned my feet walking back to the dorm Friday afternoon. I think I'll just keep wearing them anyway since my grey ones are done, since I ride my bike nearly all the time. I swear something happened with the bike too today but I just can't remember.

Some of my memory loss may be due to the reading for my one class. Today's reading was about lynching in late nineteenth and early twentieth century, and the first page alone I think I nearly threw up. Or I would have thrown up if I had eaten dinner yet, because how they described what they did to one particular person was just disgusting. For the first half of the article I was just thinking how badly I wanted to punch out a white southerner, I was so pissed off and disgusted they would do such a thing.

Well even though I should have worked on more homework (and still need to) I decided to post this instead, because I felt the need to. Here's hoping I get some FMA soon. Very soon.

EDIT: I HAVE BEEN SAVED!!! Right after I posted this I checked to see if the chapter was up, which it wasn't, and then to see if the episode was up, and it WAS!! I'm going to ignore homework a bit longer and watch it.

Ick

Crap, my roommate is sick. She's been throwing up all day, and then this evening she said she was better but she ended up throwing up again. I seriously hope she's done, I do not need to get sick, especially vomiting. To be safe I took Lysol to the entire room when she went out for a bit. I really should do it again, she probably wouldn't mind since I don't want to get sick. I should talk to her about keeping the AC on as much as possible to, since it helps to keep bacteria count down. If only she'd learn to follow my lead of being a germaphob then this wouldn't have happened to her. Whenever I get to class I always use antibacterial hand spray before messing with my stuff, because I have no clue who might have touched those door handles, and when I get back to the dorm I wash my hand very thoroughly before doing anything else. And then every now and then I take Lysol and antibacterial wipes to everything I can think of, usually just everything we both touch and then my keys and keyboard. Gah, I feel the need to spray right now!! But I will resist the urge.

Yesterday, even though I have a microbiology test next Friday, I decided to not do any homework (although I did do very minimal) and watched Elfen Lied. It was really good. I think at some point I'm going to read the manga (which I think I should do for a lot of other shows, but particularly this one.) I fell in love with the OP, so I downloaded it.

And speaking of anime and whatnot, I'm getting impatient. Raws for chapter 99 of FMA came out a few days ago. There's a translation up in Chinese for it (it's been up about a day) but none in English. I'm waiting, but I don't know how much longer I can wait before I go crazy. This chapter, I've been waiting an entire month for it, and it wasn't easy. And then it's taking forever to get subs out for episode 23 of FMA:B. It's killing me, really, because it's the fight. And I need to say the fight. I just say fight because if anyone who hasn't ever read the manga reads this I don't want to spoil anything, although just by saying names I probably wouldn't spoil it. Might as well be on the safe side, although I don't care if I spoil it for anyone.

And I found out something sad today. I haven't opened my violin case in so long, when I did today I was like "this is what my violin looks like?" Yeah, I forgot. It's really sad. It's probably been about half a year since I actually practiced, but I did tonight. Didn't have much good music, so I decided to try Pachabel(I don't think I spelled that right) Cannon. I didn't completely suck at it, but I did at the same time. And my shoulder is hurting. Normally playing for about 45 minutes like that wouldn't do anything, but after not playing so long I wasn't used to the extended use of my shoulder like that.

Alright, going to try and do some more of my chem lab report now. Which probably won't happen. But I'm going to try, seriously. Or play Pokemon Blue...no, no I'll...I'll see what happens. Hehe...

Perhaps...

So I'm writing my paper for one of my classes right now, and I thought three pages was going to take forever. Well, not so much. Because it's a critical race autobiography, we're supposed to use personal experience in it. Well, I just learned something. I can make a rant about personal experience and race go very far, possibly too far, and sound good in a paper. I'm at one page already and I've only done one paragraph. I could probably write another half page for that paragraph, but I'll stop where I am. It can't be more than three pages, which is stupid if you ask me. And I need to get two more sources into it. At first I didn't think the class was going to be the best for me because it's discussion, all you do in class is talk and discuss various aspects of race. Well, I suck at talking but then there are also these online discussions we have to post to once a week. And the two that I've done so far have been about three times as long as they need to be. I can't talk and give my opinion, but when it comes to writing I can rant like no other. I'm sure that's apparent from other posts here.

What else...I watched Glee last night. It was okay, it looks like it'll get better. And then Bones starts next week and House the week after that, which really couldn't be a worse day. It's a two hour premier the night before my first chem test, so I'm going to have to skip studying for chem to watch it, there is no other answer. I wish some new Mytbusters episodes would come on already, because I really miss it. I could watch reruns, but I've seen them all way too many times. I'm also having Avatar withdrawal symptoms. Even though they're all old I still loved watching them on Nicktoons all the time during the summer. I also miss X-Men: Evolution, which was on yet another channel I don't get down here.

I should probably end this here, because I need to finish the paper, do my Italian and microbiology (especially since I have a test for that in a week) and...something else I'm sure. Which brings me to another quick point. My chem lab TA annoys me so much. He gives us so much time to work on the lab, but then he tells us to hurry up. My group was working at a decent pace and we barely managed to finish the first part of the lab. We actually cut the time the indigo carmine was simmering by a couple minutes, and then at the end of the second part we didn't hear what he was saying about calculating theoretical and experimental yield because we were trying to finish and clean up, like another group was doing as well. Honestly.

Owie

First I must say ow. Then I must say ew. Then I must say...grr. Because that about explains me right now.

First off, the...well, they all kind of go together. I'll just get to the story. So I wasn't planning on going home for the long weekend. I actually had figured out a decent schedule to get all my homework done for the week. But that didn't happen. Because my mom decided I should come home, even though that wasn't the plan, so she drove down to come get me on Saturday. So Saturday morning I spent doing a bit of homework and cleaning my dorm room, which I did a fairly throughout job of. And then they came, and I spent the afternoon on the drive home. And I managed to do a bit of homework but not much, and that was that for Saturday. And then Sunday was blah at first, but it got a bit better kind of. I dunno. But at the end of the day we went to the batting cages, and since my brother had his baseball bat and was using the baseball cages, I had the softball bat all to myself so I didn't have to wait for him to go. Well, that kind of sucked in the end. Because when you keep going and going and going for like 45 minutes straight, you get really sore. And then in the morning it's even worse. And then my afternoon, when you finally get back to school and have to climb the stairs to get to your dorm because your dorm has no elevator, then it's REALLY bad. I had to climb up and down those things like 3 times. It was painful, the first time I had to hold onto the rail coming up because my leg felt to unstable. So yeah, I have a really sore left leg, sore shoulders, sore left arm, sore right forearm and a blister on my left thumb. But on the plus side we did get to stop to feed the donkeys and ostriches and deer on the way back. And the deer for once didn't sneeze on my hand. And there were baby donkeys this time, so I fed them when they came near the gate. And a black donkey. They were all cute. And...I can't think of what else to write at the moment. I should be trying to work on my water proposal for lab except I have no clue what to write about, although I'd really prefer to be playing Pokemon Blue right now. I totally took my cousin's GameBoy Advance SP and her Blue game to play. I just totally kicked Lt. Surge's butt. Now I know Diglett are useful, all I had to do was use dig once for two of his Pokemon and then twice for Raichu. And boom I win.

Dango Daikazoku is so calming

So I'm bored right now, so I'm going to blog. I actually should be doing my homework, especially working on my lab report since it's due in two days and I have pretty much the abstract only done. Plus I need to read for microbiology and chem, probably should work on the chem homework, read for my stupid INDV, and probably should study for Italian because I have a quiz in two days. But I don't want to. I already read a bit for micro, and did the online homework for Italian. And I even posted the stupid response thing I had to do for INDV, although I'm not sure if the post really was completely on the prompt. I think I might have ranted a bit, but that's what I do. I rant. It's fun. Is this a rant? I wouldn't consider it one. Just a bunch of random thoughts. Yeah. That's all it is. Random thoughts.

Crap, I totally forgot what I wanted to say. I had a specific reason for posting right now. Darn. Actually, the fact I forgot I should have just tried to get another episode of XxxHOLiC in, because I'm watching that right now. I'm watching tons of anime right now, sort of. Okay it's only like 7 series I think. But I have to wait for a new episode of FMA: B, Haruhi and Axis Power Hetalia to come out before I can watch more. I lied. It's actually six. Because I started up Chi's Sweet Home again because I found somewhere that had it *cough* Youtube *cough*. Yeah and then there's Tokyo Mew Mew, but I don't want to work on that too much right now. Maybe over the weekend. But speaking of weekends I did a lot this past one. I started and finished Lovely Complex and Maria Holic. I wouldn't really recommend Maria Holic. It was alright I guess. At first it was funny, but then they kept using the same stuff over and over again and it got old. And then I also started XxxHOLic, which I am still slowly working on. I've been spending my mornings watching a couple episodes, and then getting in an episode or two at night. But I couldn't today. Well actually I did. But I could have gotten in more, except I was late getting back after class. Because I decided to not be a complete loser and joined Astronomy Club. Wait, does that make me a complete loser? Well, I am the only person who isn't either an astronomy or physics or math major in it, so maybe. But it seems like it'll be fun, and I need stuff to do. So yay me. But seriously, well not seriously. Oh yay, God Knows just started playing on my iPod. Awesome. Although not as awesome as Dango Daikazoku. Okay I lied. Well they're kind of a different kind of awesome. But Dano Daikazoky is such a cute song, I love playing it when I'm all grr. And that is what we call sidetracking. But what was I talking about? Oh yeah, serious but not really, XxxHOLiC is actually really good. I wouldn't say it's one of my favorite anime, but it's keeping me interested, which is good. I'm not a huge fan on the animation though, the unusually tall people with oddly proportioned arms is kind of strange. Oh well. I wish I could make my hair do that weird cone curl thing. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. If not it's like that thing where the hair just like does some real weird curly motion and it's in the shape of a cone. There's tons of it in anime. I don't think I'd look very good in it, but it would be cool.

Well that was all pointless. Okay, not really completely pointless. What the heck? I'm concentrating so much on this post I'm barely paying attention to the music. Normally I lip sync with the song, because I know nearly all the words to it. Yes, I decided to try and learn the full song. Because it's an awesome song. Don't know if it's as awesome as 'Don't Say lazy' but it's pretty close. Okay I need to stop now. Crap, I totally through, no wait! Now I remember. So I changed the K-ON! background on my cell phone to a really sexy one of Ed in leather, with his button on his pants unbuttoned, and only one button on his vest shirt thing. I'm wondering if I should change it back. Sexy Ed might be too sexy for my phone. I just want to stare at it, but if I do that I'll waste the battery faster, because to stare at it I'd need the background light on. Can't have that, it's annoying to charge my phone. Which reminds me I need to check if I unplugged my cell phone charger. Okay done now.

Except one more thing. I think I'm going to get a sub tomorrow for dinner. I've been craving one. That or Pei Wei. But probably a sub. I lost I lost I lost you, you're making, making my music!

Yaaaaahhhh!!

Awesome! Today has been overly boring. I stayed in the dorm and started watching Lovely Complex. It's pretty good actually, I'm up to episode 19 (I'll probably try to finish it tomorrow). And then tonight my mom took my baby girl over to my grandma's house (since my parent's house has neither a computer with web cam or internet) so I could see her, because I miss her so much! I've only been gone for a week, but she's gotten so big! She'll be all grown up by time I get to go home for a visit. And the youngest kittens are getting big too. Apparently they're starting to eat regular food and they like to follow people around and use their legs as scratching posts. And along with everything else I got on where I get anime for my iPod and the person finally added Clannad!! So happy, so I'm putting it on my iPod right now. If my old computer decides to work. It really needs to be taken in to see what's wrong with it. I could put iTunes on this computer, but I don't want to waste too much space on it with all the various music and anime I download to put on it. Oh, and earlier was yet another awesome thing. SMA episode 40 was put out! It's the end of season 1, but hopefully the SMA crew decides to abridge next season as well. I really hope so. Even if they don't, they ended the series on an epically funny note.

Seriously watch it. And watch as a couple of bad guys get ROwned. Watch the entire series.

EDIT: I figured out what's partially wrong with my old laptop. Somehow Windows Antivirus Pro malware got on it. I don't know how either, I haven't gone anywhere I don't usually go. And I have the same exact anti-virus software on there as I do on this one.
