Well I have officially severed off my childhood. Allow me to explain: I'm taking vertebrate paleontology right now. I used to love dinosaurs as a child. Now that I'm actually taking a class that deals with them and related extinct animals, I feel like walking into a hot vat of hydrochloric acid. Henceforth, my interest in dinosaurs, one of the only ( Read more... )

Today was a huge load off my back. I got my paleontology presentation out of the way. You know, for how interesting the name of the class is, the class itself is really pretty boring. It's much like getting on a street corner in Rockford and waiting for a taxi cab for 2 or 3 hours - useless and boring ( Read more... )

Hey there. It's me... who would've guessed? I'm here to tell you all that I'm gonna kick butt on this land plants test tomorrow. I barely studied, and I feel pretty good to go on it. Either that or I'm really stupid, and this test will actually kick my ass. Usually the latter is the occurence in the real world. Oh well, we'll see ( Read more... )

There was one huge event of my day, and then crappy classes. The event of which I speak is my first observation hours for my clinicals class. I went to Jefferson and helped out with an honors bio class, as well as two regular bio classes. Let me tell you: I'm going to have a hard time not laughing while I observe. Freshmen are awesome. Yeah, they ( Read more... )

Hello all. This message is coming to you from the butt end of a fun-filled, errand-satisfied, homework-completing night; I remain awake only to bring you the news which fills my American life.... Well, that and the fact that I'm waiting for Steve to hurry up and get out of the bathroom so I can pee ( Read more... )

I'm back once again from the great poop mines of lore. I swear, I keep meaning to write in here, but then I don't. Just to let you know, I would fill you all in on my life for the last month(?) but it's not really that interesting ( Read more... )

Boo for school. That's what I say. Who's dropping out with me ( Read more... )

Man, I really don't update this thing very much anymore. No biggie. It's not like a great deal has been going on these days. I spend most of my time with Hayley, and that's always fun times. Last night, we watched "9 Dead Gay Guys," "Dead Like Me," some autopsy documentary thing, among other things. The band's also been coming along. Tonight we're ( Read more... )

Well, I have finally arisen from my long slumber in livejournal cyberspace. Ah, what to say about the last month (I think it's been a month ( Read more... )

Ahh, nothing like going through 2 1/2 hours of a useless lab where your results are inconclusive. On top of that, the lab smelled like ass because of the bromine crap that was a by-product of the reaction we were dealing with. Oh wait... there's more: We get graded on results in that class, so I'm gonna get a bad grade on this lab too. Man, if I ( Read more... )
