Finals are coming up so this means it's time for a post from me. :B

I just finished my last class today. I gotta say, I'm kind of bummed. It's when I hear that final applause for the professors that I know it's truly over. Even though I barely knew anyone in my classes, I still enjoyed at some point in the quarter. Why is quarter system so fast anyway?

Molecular Biology was just interesting to me. I actually like how everything is theoretical, and not sheer memorization like how other professors are. Even though this makes the class a lot harder and extremely easy to lose points, I do like to believe I came out learning something. This is totally better than me regurgitating facts that I'd forget within the next week, right? And this class was so much greater because my old Chem lab partner was taking it with me. I love that girl, and we are both fascinated with our goofy professor. Luckily, we're are taking Nutrition together next quarter. :D

Multicellular Life. Well, what can I say about this one. My professor's voice was really annoying? True, but the class was interesting at parts too. I can't really complain. Plus martinmartin was taking it with me--even though he basically didn't show up the last few weeks. Jerk >:0. At least I finally got my mushroom back today. It is time to rejoice.

Metabolic Biochemistry. I'm not going to lie. This is the stupidest class. I feel like I haven't learned anything from this class and the tests are retarded. My prof was nice though? I think the only good thing that came out of this is that I met Emerson, and he kept me awake throughout class--even though he was sleeping most of the time. It made me want to take even better notes. Oh wait, I know what made this class better. It was when my eyecandy from Molecular Biology comes in randomly to chill in Metabolic. lololol At least I finally met him that day.

History of Bioethics. In theory, this sounded really cool. The first week was really cool. The second week was becoming less cool. Third week was nice. Then we started talking about informed consent. u_u Stupidest topic ever! This topic lasted for a good month, and after two lectures, I was so over this topic. Whatevers, I decided after my first response online that I was going to take the class for pass/no pass. My professor doesn't like my writing or thoughts anyway. Plus, I didn't want to try like suck-up Emerson who actually researched what he was going to write about every week. Now I know that I can get like a C-, maybe D on my final paper and still pass the class. This shows how much effort I'm putting into this final, right? Besides, you freaking need a primary souce to get a good grade on this paper. What the heck does my professor expect from me? Does she expect me to somehow contact some old research subject from the Tuskegee Syphilis studies (even though they're probably dead), or one of the scientists working on the Human Genome Project, or John Moore or some relatives of Karen Quinlan/Terry Schiavo? No way am I putting that type of effort in. Rather, I've decided to summarize a ton of paragraphs in the 20 books I borrowed, and somehow find an overlaying theme. This method has given me a full 7 pages though. I am amazing :D

Last quarter during finals week, my parents all of a sudden decided to switch phone numbers on me, rendering my SIM card inactive. It gave me such apprehension just knowing that I could not call anyone if I had to. I know that I don't use my phone too often, but it eased me knowing I could call Kristine if I had a question about the ochem final.

 

Well this year is worse.

 

My phone does not work.
Earlier this weekend, my phone kept freezing for no apparent reason -- when people called, when I went to the menus, when I tried to text, or even when I didn't touch it at all. It was like the white screen of death, or black screen when the phone shut off entirely.

Retarded phone. Upset and worried that the phone would turn off on me in the middle of the night without me knowing and that I'd be alarm-less for the morning, I looked up the problem on the Sony website. The Sony help site said that I needed a firmware update. Fine, and so I downloaded all of the software and followed all the directions, but when I was done . . . . . it won't turn on AT ALL. What the f, man? At least before, I was able to get past the blank screen when starting up.

 

I am so sad.
It's not even the fact that I lost ALL of my contacts (luckily I remembered my mom's phone number), because if I really liked to talk to them anyway, I could easily bug them and get it somehow.

 

I called my mom to complain that I wanted my phone fixed, but all she could do was turn to my father, who obviously turns to his silly family to ask for an old phone to let me have and use.
But dang it, I don't want their hand me down phone. It is so ridiculously ugly. D:

 

And for the time being, I am borrowing Kristine's old phone.

But here's the catch, it only works through speaker
What a sad time for me. And because I was so depressed about my phone, I barely got any studying done last night.

hitabulas

not another good quarter.

what the hell is wrong with me anyway?

B+ in bild2? fuck. i could've totally gotten that A. damn grading

and worst of all, a C in molecular biology--the class i sure enjoyed most.

i am freaking mad. seriously though, i feel like i know way more than a lot of people. that does not deserve a C at all. what is wrong with him anyway? i have a feeling meng got a C, too. u_u all i wanted was a B, since i knew he was a tough grader. freaking ay. i wonder how kevin did. i don't know.

i wish i studied more for my final? even though i like to believe i knew as much as i could have for my final. i knew all of that txn and tln crap. that is what molecular biology is about, not HIV and freaking AIDS viruses. i am mad. disappointed. whatever.

fuck. my gpa dropped below a 3.4

time to get straight A's next quarter.

let's do it.

 

No cavities! Yay!

 

I hate going to the dentist. You see, my family has a history of gum disease (So that's why my grandparents have golden teeth. Ugh) and I can basically see the future of my teeth. They'll probably be fake, or something like that.

But my dentist doesn't want that to happen. Obviously, who does, so he proactively does periodontals every time I'm there. Whatever.

But even if I have no cavities, I still have one tooth progressively getting worse. And I can't really help it, because my gums there have been weird ever since I had that shark tooth removed.

 

Merry Christmas Tabulas!

I really should update soon, but there's never anything too too interesting that happens over break.

Anywho, to celebrate this holiday, I've made asian tamales (no really, they are the mexican tamales, but my mom knows how to make everything taste asian), watched A Christmas Story a couple of times, Tokyo Godfathers, and I am probably just going to continue taking my super super boring online classes so I can get my permananet badge to work at the hospital. What a way to spend Christmas.

I just think it's kind of ridiculous when I already have a ton of pages of modules to read . . . and I get an email telling me that I have to take an additional 2 more online classes -- except these extra classes use flash and have people talking to me. Oh yay

 

Hellooooo Tabulas!

I am typing this post on an allllll new reformatted laptop. lol. It's just like having a new laptop, minus the ugly shell (I have such an ugly laptop. buy me new one plzzzkthx)

I've been meaning to reformat this slowslow laptop for a while now, and what is a better time to do this than during break, right? Plus, I never wanted to do reformat because I didn't have an external harddrive so I would have to single handedly move all of my files to another computer via 4 GB flash drive. Hecka slow, right? I'd say so.

But luckilyyy, I talked to my friend Eric and he lent me his passport external to save me from days of transferring files and now I have a clean, superfast laptop . . . minus all of the programs I had before like Word 2007. Don't worry, I'll get them back somehow >:0.

I must say though, the worst things about reformatting is:

• I lost all of the playcounts on my Windows Media Player. I was really proud of my 922 times played songs!
  
• I lost all of my programs
• I lost all of my bookmarks (Why didn't I think to back that up?)
  
• I lost all of my ridiculous customizations to my laptop and must somehow restore every little thing I've changed (I'm superficial and change everything D: )
  
• I lost the silly Windows Vista bubbles screensaver I downloaded for my XP, and I have no ideaa where I got it from
• And worst of all, I have to completely update my windows, meaning Windows Service Pack 1 must install . . only to find that there is a Windows Service Pack 2 available . . . and then a Service Pack 3! Seriously man, why couldn't they just detect that Service Pack 3 was available and install that one so I don't have to restart my computer a milllllion times. 

 

For now while all of this updates, I will enjoy my superfast laptop and perhaps finish them online classes for lab since school is starting next week. At least I got my used book in the mail today, which by the way, looks untouched! What a steallllll.
