my first blog post
hmm what to ramble on about today....
this week was incredibly stressful:
- physucks test--which i wasn't confident on when I took it
- waiting for news on Blazers 2nd interviews-I made it!!
- possible contamination of my $300 cells (this guy from another lab came in to tell monitor our procedure and he kept on telling me that I was using incorrect procedure and that I contaminated everything that I passed over)-but they looked okay on Thursday, so we'll see
- Philosophy test on friday--fair but tough
I'm actually home right now...such a break from the stress of school.
I'm am vegging on the couch this entire weekend while the TV is blaring and while I'm reading O-Chem and doing 3 chapters worth of problems
Next week should be much more relaxing than this one...we'll see
Lab is going to get more intense that's for sure-if the cells survive
I get land in A-town on Sunday at 4:15 and from there one of my brother blazers is picking me up for campout!!! I'm super excited about it..but it makes me feel kinda frat-ish to be calling them my brother blazers though.
Ooh! I'm going to see a Nobel Prize winner on Tuesday Steve Weinberg!!!!! He's giving a lecture on "The Worth of Science"
AND Grey's became semi-watchable again. My pirate friend (whom I cannot live without) got it for me this morning at 2am and put it on my USB so I could watch it at the airport.
Let me digress and give a quote that sums up friendship for me: "Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art...It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. C.S. Lewis
I've been rather obsessed with that quote ever since I found it this summer (I also used it in my blazer's app essay)
Back to the TV Shows:
Heroes-satisfying
HIMYM-funny....and a funny story that goes with the show so during the last ten minutes of it there was a fire drill in my dorm and my room did not evacuate...shhhh don't tell anyone please and thank you
Boston Legal-who the eff starts a show at 8:30 and goes till 10? Well Pirate Friend got it for me and Ishanee, Ravi, and myself watched it on Wednesday night with no commercials and because there is no good show on a Wednesday until LOST comes back...in February, sigh. But the episode was goood. The new girl has an awk. nose and the new guy is gross
The Office-best intro EVER. rabid. the end.
I gave my room key to one of my best friends this weekend. I am hoping he doesn't permanently move in. That would mean I have to relocate to the third floor.
The futon has been an enormous success on the other hand. We haven't played much cards this year, it's kind of weird but I guess we'd gotten used to not playing cards for the entire summer. Our new thing is scrabble--facebook style and the real deal.
It gets quite intense.
I'm going over to Julia's tomorrow.
