Assorted Thoughts

My organic prof was totally insane on Friday. At the beginning of class he pulled this t-shirt that had a crazy professor on it over top of his shirt. Then about half an hour into the class, a toddler wearing a Winnie-the-Pooh costume comes stolling into the front of the class. Bear in mind there's like 400 people in the room. So of course, all the girls start going "awwwwww," which is really funny when a lot of people do it at the same time. Then what was presumable the toddler's sister comes into the room, so my prof goes over gives the toddler a balloon. Then he puts on a floppy pumpkin hat, picks up the kid and gives her some candy, puts her down and starts hucking candy at us. In the middle of class. One hit my head. Anyway, before all that happened he was demonstrating something with lime juice, so he had this lime for the demonstration. He pulls out the lime and says, "What goes good with limes?" And then he whips out this bottle of beer and says, "Alcohol!" And then he takes a swig. In the middle of class. We applaud him and leave ten minutes early.
Now if that's not a cool prof, I don't know what is.

I felt like dancing around after my exam today. I wanted to go somewhere and do something or talk to someone, but I finished about 10 minutes before the end of the period so I had to contain myself. It really was quite the joyous occasion, though. What should be the worst midterm is now officially over, and with it the dread of this week. If I can survive the physics midterm, then surely organic chem will be a cinch, right? I mean, once I start, you know, learning the material, it should be no problem. So glad it's next Friday and not this Monday.
Lunch was both fun and productive, as I wrote out my procedure for my organic lab and then sat and talked to everyone for about an hour and a half. Those folks really are pretty funny. Haha. Rebecca: "WHAT????" You crack me up.
The less-cool parts of today include when I dropped a Buchner funnel in my lab (stupid gay breakable pieces of crap), and English, which generally is less-cool in itself. Do you think they'll make me pay for that funnel? Kill count: 2 in 2 months. Let's see if we can keep this up, shall we? A lab is just more interesting with the sound of shattering funnels and test tubes, don't you think?
Math exam tomorrow. Have not studied yet. Will probably not do that until tomorrow in the hour I have before the exam. I love that course. And then....the WEEKEND. And with it, sleeping in and spending way too long playing the sims 2. This is the highlight of my week.

I should probably be studying right about now, seeing as I have four midterms in the near future, but really, this is more entertaining. Also, I have decided that I hate all of my courses except for math, and that one I don't like it so much as I don't hate it. Most of the time, at least. I mean, honestly, what was I thinking? Physics 144? More like "Let's Reteach Physics 15 and Then Give You Unsolveable Questions You Have to be A Genius to Figure Out" 144. Yeah, that sounds a little more accurate. At least I think I'm about average in that class. Maybe the bell curve will save me yet.
So I think I'll stick with these courses, at least for this year. But I think over Christmas holidays I shall be seriously looking into another faculty, or at least another major I could be taking for fall 2005. I really don't think the whole chemistry thing is gonna work out in the long run.
Anyway, Bev was saying the other day that we should all get together on Rememberance day and hang out or something, which I think is a fabulous idea because midterms will be over and sanity will be restored by that time (at least to some degree. I'm not entirely sure my sanity is something that ever visits me in its entirety. Oo! Big words.) Yes...where was I? Right, Rememberance Day. So keep it free y'all. Maybe it will be my first chance to see a movie in like 3 months! My life is so sheltered.

Today was actually relatively decent. I was on time for English for once, I learned my first concept ever in Physics 144 (haha Tas "I learned something recently..."), I spent 3 hours reading about 2 pages and talking with folk at lunch, and I had my first fun lab so far this year. Lab partner Heather aka Eli must have been tuned to the same frequency (or had the same amount of caffein in our systems) because we suddenly thought everything was funny. Even things that shouldn't be, like when I accidentally sprayed the girl across the bench across the aisle with water when disassembling the distillation apparatus. And we discovered we both have the middle name Elizabeth. Hence the Eli. We're so cool.
Mom and Dad are home now! I should have gotten to work cleaning up the kitchen last night...
Has anyone else had troubles with old comments mysteriously disappearing? I wonder where they all run off to?

So what have I learned today? I have learned that if I buy a cookie at Tim's and don't take it out of my backpack right away, Buster will move in for the kill as soon as I leave the room. I really wanted that cookie, too. So now it's apples for me.
Mom and Dad come home from Ontario tomorrow, which means Brian and I had better get crackin' if we don't want them to see the frightful state of things in the kitchen. Bri left me a note today saying "methinks we should clean up tonight." We, of course, meaning me, because if he planned to do anything of the sort he would have done it already. Not to mention the fact that he has proven his inabilities in this area on many previous occasions (see June 2004). So tonight shall be full of dishpan hands and brisk dogwalks. Not that they deserve it after snaggling my cookie, the fiends. How does a dog open a backpack, anyway?

Arg. I was trying to add some new links to my blog and it made me accidentally post a blank post, so now I am turning it into a not blank post. Today I picked up my yearbook. Apparently, they been in for like two weeks. Alas, I am out of the loop. Anywho, after that mom and I went shopping for baby clothes for my cousin's new baby. Socks for newborns have got to be some of the cutest things ever invented. Mom saw me looking at all the little baby booties and things and told me not to have kids yet. A hahahah, Mom.
So of course, since we were already at the mall we had to pop into Stitches and look at the pretty things in there. Thus I spent the rest of the afternoon shopping, and then looking at the yearbook when I got home. Quite the times.
Tonight we shall be scrambling to finish the chem 101 lab report questions that were rendered unanswerable yesterday by my failure to use the stupid carbon paper that doesn't work anyway. Long story short, lesson learned and now I can get my questions done. Also I hope to do my nails, which were not done on monday and by now are in an even worse state of disrepair. Quite the scandal.
But enough procrastination. Onward, ho!

Wow, all these new (er) people are posting comments! You guys rock, and I love you all.
Some people seem to need some cheering up, so I will try to offer my words of wisdom. They may not mean much but they are my way of trying to help.
1. There will be happy times and there will be sad times. Listening to the Moulin Rouge soundtrack helps with the sad times.
2. You all still have people who love you and you always will, because you are who you are.
3. Sometimes it is better to just take a break and have some fun. (Midterms can wait...a few minutes or so.)
4. Pictures can make you laugh, whether you're taking them or looking at them.
5. Share.
Well, that's the extent of my knowledge on these sorts of things. Vague and feeble, aren't I? Well, even if I made no sense to you, at least I got you to read to the end, right? Hugs to the world.

This weekend was ultra-awesome. I finished my important-urgent homework on Saturday morning, which left 2 1/2 days of pure, unadulterated freedom. The arrival of the Colleen and her parentage on Saturday afternoon created much joy, and the party/gathering at Laura's was good times indeed. We should really all do that more often. Except about half of us are all spread thinly over the country. But Empire Records is vastly amusing, and posing seductively on the stairs is really quite hilarious.
And then THE BAR. Who thought I would ever go to a bar the first weekend of being 18? 'Twas all in good fun. Ok, so I only had one drink, but it was still fun explaining to my mom the next morning that Colleen bought me a porn star. And the dancing is really good exercise, and there really weren't THAT many creepy guys. I'm sure there would be more at some of the seedier-type joints.
So I slept in til about noon on Sunday - completely unintentionally, I might add - and spent much of the afternoon lolling about in the kitchen with Colleen and the Mams. Then, because it was such a fantabulously gorgeous day we went and took pictures by the Wood Bridge. Throwing leaves is fun!!!!
Thanksgiving dinner was uber-good. All the food was so tasty, and of course being with the Crowes is always a good time. Then the next morning I tried Mahubas? Mahumbas? anyway, something Lebanese for the first time, and I might add that they was GOOD. Also, i met Colleen's friend Christina for the first time, and I got to see the Facey yearbook. It's not fair; how come they get their's so early? Oh, well, Sal yearbooks are better anyway. No offence, you Facey-ites. Wahahahha.
Well this is massively long, and if I play my cards right, I may be able to get in some extra homework, a shower, changing bedsheets, doing my nails, and watching the Last Samurai all before 10. In short (too late), I'd better get crackin.

So apparently no one reads this after all. I suppose my time could be better spent doing my homework or some other crap like that, but quite frankly this is more fun. Although if I truly AM the only one who goes here anymore, I could just think all these thoughts instead of writing them down. Hmmm.
In short, please post a comment or a guestbook...signing...if you come here. I am lonely and kind of hate how my courses are going right now, so I could do with some cheering. Y'all come back now, y'hear?

I think it's time. I wanted to wait a month and now I have. I'm not sure I want to keep this blog going, but I do think I shall keep a blog going. A long time ago Ste sent me a link to make your blog have Trogdor all over it. Thanks, Ste. So maybe I'll start over. New beginnings are good.
There, Bev, I posted and now you have to, too. It's not much but it's a start.
