Tomorrow is a Neuroscience midterm followed directly by a Cell Bio midterm, so instead of blabbering on about how scared I am about failing during my food break I thought to leave a yummy recipe. Cause I've realized recently how much food and cooking is related to home and love and family in my life and everyone could use the happiness somthing ( Read more... )

I gotta say that I love netflix. Thanks to that wonderful dvd rotating system Io and I have been able to have many a pleasant evenings cuddled on the couch watching whatever movie strikes our fancy. Last weekend was the original "Robin Hood" and the parody "Men in Tights" becomes even more clear. This Friday was "My Fair Lady" since it's one of ( Read more... )

Last night I saw a production of "this is how it goes" by Neil LaBute. It was a very "in you face" style of play with limit pushing and extremes, with a very blatant take home message of the subtler existence of racism.

Today was one of my infamous scrubbing days where I get the oddest urge to clean. It starts very innocently. Perhaps a piece of fuzz on the carpet, or a dish in the sink.

I'm so glad that I decided to try to go home so we could keep our yearly tradition. Buzz Lightyear proved I had a smidge ( Read more... )

The Exploratorium was FANTASTIC to the bijillionth degree. It is amazing that a place like that exists where kids (and adults) can be so hands on in a "learning" center. It's not stand behind the rope and stare at the random stuffed creatures and the obscure columns written for an academic journal beside it. The exhibits on light, bubbles(waves ( Read more... )

Ugh I cannot focus!!!! I need to really memorize this biochemistry stuff for the essay make up test and my brain has gone all bonkers on me.  I am once again in doubt of what I want to do with  my life and I have zero motivation for this class.  Let's just say lipid bilayers and kinases do not get me into a frenzy.   I think fall quarter will be ( Read more... )

I stole this from Sai cause it seemed better than reading biochemistry or counting down the days.
