You want a piece of me?
Nov. 20th, 2008 12:09 amToday was kind of a weird day, very up and down! First I had my presentation for cinema on Funny Games, which went pretty well, though maybe not as spectacularly as I might have hoped. I walked out of class with Prof Moss, Dave, and James (aka the trifecta of AWESOME) though and it was so fun to just walk and chat with all of them. They're all such smart, funny guys. (And all very, very taken. Of course!) Prof Moss (I feel like I should call him Jeremy, but that still feels weird!) and Dave were headed to get something to eat, and kinda made an open invite to James and I. I said, "Can I skip my quiz?" and Prof Moss was like "Sure!" and then grinned all mischievous-like. It put a massive smile on my face, the whole thing.
But then I had to go to take a quiz in Analytical Chem. /o\ The quiz did not go very well (I was stuck with an inadequate calculator) and then she handed back our tests and I got an 80. AFTER the 5 point curve. That was kind of, like, a punch to the gut, because I got a 99 on the last test. So... an 80? Seriously? ///o\\\ I did better on my last BIOCHEM test! *sighs*
Then I went to grab lunch and ran into this kid from my cinema class. He lead the discussion in the other group (we're split in two on Wednesdays) and we had chatted about it before, so we asked each other how it went, etc. And this kid, okay, he's a little baby freshman and all blonde and fresh faced and earnest and I kinda adore him, and I'm prettttty sure he has a crush on me. He made a big deal of recounting how he had mentioned me during his discussion to include something I had told him about the movie, and how Prof Moss had apparently reacted noticeably to this? IDK IT WAS KINDA WEIRD. But also really precious and I wanted to ruffle his hair, hee.
THEN I had my LAST day of biochem lab, omg. :O The last day doing experiments, to be exact. It was actually pretty fun, because we've started playing music through the ceiling speakers (the lab's in our brand new massive life sciences building, so it's got all these gadgets) and everyone kinda dukes it out over who picks the next song, and it's generally just funny and fun. I enjoyed it! Our experiment results weren't terribly valuable, but eh. And then Prof Mehl gave back our second lab reports and I got an A/A-! Hurrah! I might pull off an A- in this class after all! \o/
So I guess it was mostly a good day, except for Analytical YUCK YUCK. >:(
Then I came home to find the internet all aroil (I don't really have an opinion, except to be overwhelmed by the VERY strong opinions coming from BOTH sides of the issue on my flist... I'm not used to division on my flist!) and it's REALLY COLD OUTSIDE and I finally went grocery shopping and have FOOD and TEA, and I filled out a bit more of my UCSF grad school application (they have some professors doing work that looks FASCINATING), and then had a mini existential crisis at Michelle about WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH MY LIFE OH GOD?!???? Because I can't picture myself as a research scientist, really, but I ALSO can't picture myself as anything else, and it's all very upsetting. /o\ I've been joking about changing my major to film, but HONESTLY, I get so much more engaged and excited in my classes that aren't chemistry! Idkkkk.
Tomorrow I have to seriously accomplish shit with my research. It's scary.
I JUST WANNA HIDE UNDER A DESK WITH NOEL AND RUSSELL UNTIL PEACE COMES.
/insane rambling.
PS MICHELLE IS THE BEST PERSON EVER. WE SHOULD FEED HER CORN MUFFINS. BECAUSE THEY PLEASE HER.
