My philosophy professor told the class a story on the first day about how he got into philosophy from his biochemistry/biology/chemistry majors. It involved his friends forcing him to take an introduction to philosophy class after some kind of big intervention ( Read more... )

Work goes well. I’ve kind of settled into a routine, but that routine lasts about a week rather than a day so it’s not too bad. I like getting paid and the people I work with are reasonably nice. I learned how to use the electron microscope on Thursday and the sonic horn on Friday. I want to use the microscope more, but I don’t think I’ll use it ( Read more... )

It's been some time since I last posted I believe. I've had the hardest time starting my job. I was flagged as having chronic fatigue, nervous breakdowns or depression and needed a letter from my doctor saying that i would be able to work. She wrote a rather curt letter basically telling them to shove it and give me a job... but in medical terms. ( Read more... )

As finals week looms I start to remember that I’ve been slacking off with regards to physics all semester. So I have until Tuesday to learn most of a semester of physics. I got some new drugs for my headaches and for the whole one day I’ve taken it it’s worked well. I have my medical exam tomorrow for my job at 3M, so I hope that all the ( Read more... )

I finally have some news to post, so here I am. I got a job at 3M working in a lab that’s researching photovoltaic cells! I’ll just do chemical analysis stuff but I can actually use all that organic chemistry that I learned way back in the day. I’ll work full time over the summer and then about 10 hours/week during the school year. I’m so excited ( Read more... )

To whom it concerns,

Not that you lied to me but that I no longer believe you - that is what has distressed me. Whether it’s true or not you’ve lied to me and I don’t know if I can ever forgive you for that. Either way, I don’t believe you anymore.

I finally got some reliable, specific information about keeping fantails with Koi. I can do it if they are about the same size, which is what I thought in the first place. It only took me countless hours of searching to conform something that I had already suspected. Of course, this depends on the personalities of the fish in question. An ( Read more... )

Ha, I'm the opposite of Vanessa!!!

I spent a good long time researching the proper care of goldfish (specifically fantail) and Koi today. I learned how to spawn Koi, but I got conflicting opinions as to if they can be kept in the same tank. It’s very annoying. I think that I can take good care of a Koi in a 10 gallon tank for at least 1 year, maybe more depending on how much it ( Read more... )
