Right, Sure it Does…
Mike found this this morning and asked if this summed up the last two weeks of my Trig class. It does, so perfectly. I swear, they are just making that stuff up.
From xkcd.
It’s Over!
Wheeee! Fall 2006 semester is officially behind me! My Trig final yesterday was supposed to be from 12:30 – 2:20. I finished at 5:00. Yes, over 4 hours on a Trig final. However, I think I did pretty well – I won’t get the A in the class that I [...]
Yarn’s Bound and Wound…
Randomness to wrap up October.
Stalker Angie has come up with the Kid & Ewe festival theme song, Yarn’s Bound and Wound:
Yarn’s bound and wound, we’re loadin’ up and truckin’,
We gonna drive past San Antonio.
We’ve got a long way to go, and a short time to get there.
We’re West bound just watch ol’ Stalker run.
That is [...]
I Give Up.
I made the decision last night, and it is final – but I’m not entirely happy about it. I decided that I need to drop Organic Chemistry. I should have done it at the very beginning, as I could tell right away that there would be problems. When I registered, Prof. A [...]
Caution…
Lengthy paper, including Powerpoint presentation due on Thursday. All about how to become a Pharmacist, what it involves, information on schools, etc. LOTS of information.
Me, being the wise person I am, started on this (a) when I first got the assignment on the first day of class, (b) a few weeks ago, or [...]
I Am Smarter Than I Thought…
Mike’s parents were in town for the weekend, so there has been no computer time recently. Instead, we went to the October Yale Street Market, the Ren Fest (with a disappointing lack of musicians), and had many pleasant dinner time conversations. All in all, a nice visit.
I had an Organic Chem test Monday [...]
Relief…
The update on the tests: Organic Chem was ok until I got to the naming portion. I knew that would be my downfall going into it, and I was right. I need to figure out how the whole chaining carbons works and how I count the chain. Ok, I know how it [...]
Methyl and Ethyl Attack!
My first Organic Chemistry test is tomorrow morning. Methyl & Ethyl and their freinds Phenyl, Benzene, Toluene and others are attacking me. You know it is bad when you dream about chemical names. I am doing pretty well in the class, and I really enjoy it – but I won’t deny that [...]
Already, the Homework is Piled High…
School started again yesterday. I came home after class with my first round of reading and homework for Organic Chemistry. Today I had Trig and Self Psychology, and I have homework (due on Thursday) for Trig and reading to do for my Psych class. Plus I need to go to the assessment [...]
Because Everyone Can Use Some Organization…
I am back in Houston. I need to go through my Harlot photos and then my Arkansas photos so I can post them. The time will come soon. First I need to make sure that Jason is ready to START HIGH SCHOOL (someone hold me while I cry a little) on Monday. [...]
New Show, Coming SOON!
Guess what I’m doing tonight?!? I’m recording the next episode (at last!) of the Pointy Sticks podcast! Whoo hoo!!! I know, I know, I said it earlier this week. I didn’t get a chance to do it though thanks to studying for finals. It is all over now though – [...]
Attention, People in the Houston Area…
If you are in the Houston area, and you haven’t been outside yet, leave your keyboard right now and GO. Go outside. Go frollic in the springtime sun. After two hot and muggy days, it is amazing and cool outside right now! (Cool being relative, since it is 68 degrees – [...]
I GOT A B!!!
I got a B! I got a B! I got a B! I just pulled up my grades online again, since they weren’t there 40 minutes ago, and I got a B! I got a B!
(Yes, really – I keep saying it over and over. I’m just that shocked. [...]
My Head Hurts…
Today’s Chemistry final? EVIL. HARD. IMPOSSIBLE. So many other descriptive terms come to mind. Ugh. It was BAD. We had 2 hours to do it, which didn’t seem too bad – 20 questions, so that should be ok, right? Wrong. I think I left 4-5 questions [...]
One Down!
Whew! I’m so glad that is over. I made an A on my Unit 4 test (last Thursday), a B on the Unit 4 practical, a C on the final exam, and a B overall. Biology II is DONE!
Final Exams, Round 1…
My first final exam is today at 2:00pm CST. It is in Biology II, including a zillion phylums, orders, genus, species classifications. I’m nervous, but not too bad. I think I should do ok – not fabulous, as I keep forgetting some of the classification information – but I remember a lot [...]
All is Quiet…
In the last week of Photo I, we toned prints. This came out of the darkroom black & white; after about 45 minutes in chemicals it was sepia toned. Taken at the cemetary in Galveston, April 2006.
I was pleasantly surprised yesterday to realize that I actually remember more from the first unit of [...]
A Dream Come True…
After several people left comments here about my “Taste the Rainbow” print, and I’ve had some inquiries recently via Flickr asking about buying prints, I decided to pursue a dream. I’m going to buy an enlarger so I can print photographs at home.
In 7th & 8th grade, I did a science fair project on [...]
Taste the Rainbow…
Click on the photo to get the uber-cool large view.
Originally, I hand-colored all of the flamingos pink. They looked … so … something. Plain? Boring? Expected? I don’t know. Just not right. So I removed all of that color – the joy of working with chalks! – and [...]
Brand New Day…
Ahhhhh… it is amazing what a good night of sleep will do for the spirit, isn’t it? I went to bed early, I slept a little later than normal thanks to Mike getting up and taking Jason to school, and now I’m just relaxing. So much better. I don’t have much time [...]
