Ochem quiz. I took it. I would have done better on last years quiz. I think I’ll prolly get around 74%… which is a B- in this class… that’s if she doesn’t curve it.

The internet is fixed, but I had to redownload and uninstall all the security stuff again. That was fun. It really slowly too cause the computer freezing thing started before I even got everything downloaded this time. Stupid smeg.

Um… It’s really nice weather here today… so I went outside and read the Bible. Well, part of the bible… for my religion class. They say booty like 4 times. hehehehe.

Pretty much done with homework for today… I have to finish a little bit of prelab stuff for chemistry tomorrow, and then I can rest if I want. I might do some microbio stuff… I’m trying not to put that annotated bibliography thing off until it’s too late. 😛

I guess that’s all for now… I’m pretty sure there was more I was going to talk about at points… but it all got lost to infinity. 🙁 Moment of silence.

I’m going to come and sit here every time I need to do work. It’s surrounded by all sorts of great titles like, The Great Plague, Women and Mental Health, PAIN Sourcebook, and In Sickness and in Wealth. oo… The Lesbian Health Book. I should check some of these out.

I think I’m going to go back to the room now. Bye bye internet. ::sniff::

Another reason to move to Norway.

so that’s why I haven’t been updating and such. It’s pretty horrible. I have a busy weekend anyway. Maybe I’ll get some time to post something useful though. 8’s going to be DMing tonight… I’m hoping I’m well enough to play.

I got an A. I quote,

“Very good essay. You have done a very good job of describing how tradition, as sacred story and sacred action, works to provide resources for a person to deal with trials that come our way. Your thesis focusing on a starting point is excellent. This reinforces the idea that tradition does do all the work for a person. One still has to struggle to create meaning within the context of the threat. As in the Sisiutl story, one has to face the fear. And in some cases muster to will to risk dangerous action. But traditional story and action do give us tools to begin. You give evidence of understanding ceremonial action as connected to the process of making meaning of an event that may initially fall out of our normal worldview or cosmos.

Very good job.”

I took licence with the bolding and intallicing. Anyway, I should do some work or sleep or something. I just thought you all should know how good I am.

I better. I slept for a lot of the day… went to dinner at about 6. Then I finished chemistry homework thta’s not due until Friday… so yay. Now I’ll have less stuff to do that isn’t studying for the test.

Now I’m just going to go to sleep again.

I’m definately better than I was last night, wish I was better than I am though.

I am sick. I got really feverish last night and slept so well I practically broke my back. I managed to go to class though. I’m feeling less miserable now.

I asked my philosophy teacher why a Buddhist would do anything, since in theory a Buddhist believes that nothing exists. His answer was not satisfactory.

ITS got an e-mail back to me today telling me to bring in my computer if it’s still broken. They’re so helpful.

I want to sleep now.

I’m in the fishbowl. I came here because there is supposed to be a chem tutor here (the fishbowl is a room in the chemistry department… I guess it’s called that because it has a window that points to the main hall and everyone looks in at you. Plus they put decorations on the window to make it look underwater.) but he didn’t show up. I’ve caught all up on homework… 1 day’s worth… so I don’t really know what to do. I should work ahead or study or something though because there’s a chem test on Monday. I kinda wanna just sleep though. 😛

8’s going to go to work at 9, so I’ll prolly go the library and work while she’s working. I think I’ll do some of my microbiology project that’s due at the end of the month.

I got 9.50 grams of product in lab today. I haven’t figured out the yield on that but it seems kinda round doesn’t it. 🙂

There’s a guy coming to speak on Thursday about nanotech stuff… he’s applying to be a physics professor. I’ll go see him I think, the talk is going to be about when I’ll be out of my micro lab hopefully.

Might sign up to go clean a beach on Friday too. 8 e-mailed to find out what beach but as far as I know she hasn’t heard back yet.

Further, one of the guys that won the Nobel prize in 1991 I think… or 2001… yeah… 2001 for helping to create that new phase of matter… what’s it called… Something-Einstein blah blah. Anyway, he’s coming on the 30th or something, I’m going to go try and see what he has to say. Neato huh.

There are people making noise down the hall… seems sorta weird at 8 on a Tuesday in the science building… probably Asian club meeting or something.

I downloaded a bunch of SNES roms from Keston’s new site I linked a while ago. I haven’t gotten to look through them… I know I got a couple Final Fantacy’s and Chrono Trigger though… so woot. I’ll have to add those to my list of things to play when I graduate or something.

I had a bit of a headache after lab… prolly from all the HCL (g)… and the acetone… and the benzene… and the tert-butylchlorylbenzene… the other stuff was probably harmless. I’m not feeling really perfect now… I think I have a touch of illness. Feels like it will go away though if I sleep. Tomorrow I don’t have to go to class until 10 so woot again.

I guess I’ll go back to the dorm and see if 8 is there… she was at the computer lab doing work and such. Maybe I’ll take a nap. 🙂

Here’s the thing. You all should go to this Klipfolio place and download it. Then, use the klipfolio add on thing called Feed Viewer to see if I or 8 have updated w/o actually going to the site. You go down to Klip Setup, and under the Feed tap, where is says “Enter your feed URL” put in http://viviiixiv.blogspot.com/atom.xml

Then little flashy things will show up on the flower when something happens at our amazingly interesting blog. You can also do this with other sites… like any other blog probably, and news sites, and cool webcomix like little gamer, penny arcade, megatokyo and Boy On A Stick and Slither. Not to mention the other neato Klip add-ons that do other things.

*shrug* if you don’t like it you don’t have to. 😛 Just a suggestion.

She’s been sleeping for quite some time. I did my prelab without waking her. I also stole her internet cable so I could look up some stuff to do it. I’m so crafty. I hope she doesn’t need to be awake. She wasn’t feeling well and so she didn’t go to dinner with me and she was asleep when I returned. Oh well.

In chem lab tomorrow we’re reacting benzene (which for those of you who don’t know is toxic and causes a few forms of leukemia) in such a way that it will evolve HCl gas. Fun stuff huh. Hopefully everyone in my lab is not stupid and the whole lab doesn’t get filled with HCl… that would be bad. If they follow procedure it should go in the hoods and even better, stay mostly in a closed system. I’ll spare you guys the link this time.

8 got an invite to be interviewed for her Jan term abroad… which just goes to show you how I’m always right.

I’m feeling less sick… not that I was bad ever. I think something came out of my ear canal last night and cleared up my ear pain/nasty taste in mouth problem. Also my lip is nearly completely healed. Yay!

Dimitri broke up with Tina. He posted it on his lj so I figure it’s ok to post it here. I haven’t really asked for details or anything, so I don’t know more than he tells. I never really talked to Tina or knew anything about her, so I dunno if it’s a good thing or not.

Hmm.. well, I suppose I should do some study for my religion test tomorrow. The set up is the class suggested 9 topics, of which I can choose one to write an essay about tomorrow in class. I have to remember to take a blue book. Anyway, I haven’t even picked a topic… I would like to have a thesis and my two main references and a quote or two in mind when I head out tomorrow. Shouldn’t be too hard though, 8 says he likes some rambling just fine. I’m not sure he’ll like my rambling as much as hers, but it’s a good sign none the less.

Too find a blue book… away!

Oh yeah, in hating ITS news, apparently a lot of people had to delete their old virus protection software in order to be allowed onto the network with the new thing they did which messed up my computer for a while. They’re mad cause it cost them around $100 and they’re not going to get reimbursed. Just another thoughtful service broght to you by, *cough*Satan*cough*, ITS.
