No love for homework, even with a glove
Despite the fact that a class called "Human Sexuality" sounds like it would be awesome, it gives weekly annoying busywork assignments. They're the kind of a assignments where you read and it wonder, "Did she just give us this assignment to see who the fuck would actually do/disclose this?"
For part of this week's assignment, we were to go to a ( Read more... ) -
Of all the subjects
Well, this is a pleasant surprise. I aced a midterm. The last time I got a 100 on a test was two years ago, and that was in Earth Science (by far the easiest science class I've taken in college). So, of all the classes I've taken here, I definitely didn't expect my next 100 to be on a physics test. It's kind of hard not to brag about. -
Right of Passage
I just solved a physics problem using E=mc2. It was my first time. Up until now, I thought mere mortals never got to use E=mc2.
Also of note... You know when you catch bits of people's conversations at just the right time? I was getting off the elevator, and this girl was getting off the other elevator at the same time while talking to her friend ( Read more... ) -
As if you didn't hate me enough
The convenience store, which is conveniently located on the first floor of my dorm, now has an Icee machine. I'm enjoying the smooth cherry goodness of one as we speak. Mmm, that soft slushiness combined with the slight bite of a carbonated beverage really hits the spot. And that 'sliding an unoccupied sled across snow' sound it makes when it ( Read more... ) -
Sometimes denial and desperation pay off
I was not about to type that whole paper again if I could help it. Still unable to accept that my paper was gone, I continued to search the dark crevices of my computer that don't come up on a hidden folder search. After reading some forum discussions on the topic, I decided to check my Content.IE5 folder in my Temporary Internet Files. As I was ( Read more... ) -
Is this funny, or am I just delirious?
My suitemate Jayce and I were talking about alcohol. He was smelling one my other suitemate's rum that was in the refrigerator. He said it smelled like pure ethanol, so I told him to smell my tequila. This lead to the following exchange ( Read more... ) -
You're not going to believe this...
So there's this new girl working in lab and I'm training her to identify flies for my project. Last night we decided to grab dinner around 6:30, so we got to talking. Naturally, the subject of Rescue 911 came up. She was telling me about episodes she remembered. I was expecting the usual "Yeah I remember the one where the boy got his tongue ( Read more... ) -
Elderly homosexuals are a myth!
Sometimes I get a kick out of the things I read in my human sexuality textbook:
"Aging gay men and lesbian women face a double stereotype: They are old and gay. But like other stereotypes of aging Americans, this one reflects myths rather than realities."
That's the entire paragraph. This makes me laugh for two reasons, first because of the ( Read more... ) -
Life Decisions
Life decisions really get on my nerves. They're like dentist appointments. Significant time passes between each one, but they still come up often enough to be annoying.
First it was whether to stay at the community college, then it was which four-year college to go to. Now I have to decide where/if I want to go to grad school (and I haven't even ( Read more... )
