Day 1288: Semi-rested, semi-rejuvenated

I am back in Wisconsin after a glorious five days in (generally) sunny California. It was absolutely marvelous to be home and see my family and friends.

I didn't sleep as well or as much as I wanted, but it worked out okay. I napped. A lot. Usually while studying biochem, but that's to be expected.

Highlights of my trip:

• One morning, I decided to do the dishes. I made quite a bit of noise -- running the garbage disposal, dropping bowls, etc -- and my mom comes running down the stairs telling me to stop. She felt bad that I was doing dishes on vacation. She said I was on vacation and that I should be resting and not doing dishes. (collective awwwww) I mean how cute is that?
  
• Hanging out with my sister, whom I often forget, is very critical (in the best way possible...maybe) but very refreshing in her upfrontness.
  
• Seeing my pals! Shopping. Eating. Hanging out. Falling asleep while studying. All in the grand company of my closest pals.

Now I am back at school, semi-hitting the ground running. My sleep schedule has been off since I arrived yesterday morning but I plan on sleeping early tonight and getting my life semi-back on track. Next post? A fun biochem information about mixing food with drugs!

Day 1277: So many obstacles to home

I leave for beautiful California on Tuesday. I am SO close! And yet, I have to take an anatomy lab practical on Monday and then I have my half-human-development-half-anatomy written exam Tuesday morning. WHY MUST MY BRAIN BE ON CONSTANT OVERDRIVE?

For future reference: I want to make this blog a) more fun (it might be time to post pictures about my life since my lack of Facebook bothers some people), b) more science-for-normal-people (to break down what I'm learning for you all since it's fun to learn things).

Day 559: Happy belated turkey day!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. I certainly ate my weight's worth so I'm feeling good :)

As I promised my father, I am going to try and blog more (somewhere along the lines of every day) while my father is away. It may not be interesting, but I'm going to try and make it so.

For example, tomorrow, my Phyla Diversity Collection is due. My group and I have collected different specimens to represent different phylum. For example, we have a human tooth to represent Phylum Chordata and I have a centipede to represent Phylum Annelida. Stimulating, I know. It's been pretty amusing asking people for bugs and fungus and any else of the sort.

My class is over next week! Holy cow! My how time flies.

Day 184: It's all over...not really

I have nothing to do! That is until the week after Thanksgiving. I'm really excited to just do my own thing for the next week. I'm going to watch "Mixed Nuts", buy some holiday gifts, send some holiday gifts. Blah blah blah. This is all scintillating stuff. Blah.

School stuff, my biology test was fine. It could have gone better (a higher A) but I'm over the whole bit. I'm studying physics hardcore because I really need to. Organic is organic. I am as boring as a bag of rocks right now.
