I fell asleep around midnight, slept late until 7:30, (my alarm failed to go off) I skipped my shower, got dressed, and had a glass of coffee and a breakfast shake then left for calculus. I gave my professor the forms she requested and proceeded to go straight home, have the left over fish and rice from last night, more coffee. Then I took the shower missed this morning, (I felt considerably better afterward.)
After that I got ready and left for biology, spent almost 2 hours memorizing different functional groups. Hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl, amine, sulfite, phosphate groups, and methyl groups, along with the full definition of osmotic pressure from hypertonic to isotonic to hypotonic. The functions of protein’s in the cell membrane and several other topics related to the course material… at one point I felt in a trance mumbling a paragraph summery of everything on the test as if it were a Buddhist mantra, this ended up paying off as I scoured 95% and was done before anyone else finished by at least half an hour if not more. Apparently, for everyone excluding me it was a very hard test.
In that time I made it 2 chapters into no one left to lie to by Christopher Hitchens, a great book about how demented the Clinton white house was, and surprisingly informative. This is the brilliance of Hitchens, you buy a book you think states a simple case against the Clintons, and end up with a narrative of the privatization and deinstitutionalization of the new deal and the creation of a helot slave class out of the working poor by the politicians most “publically concerned” for their welfare. Trust me, buy any book by Hitchens, you will get your money’s worth and then some. Also he’s dying of cancer, and while it’s depressing as hell and a bit crude to point out, one might consider buying the books now before they become vastly more expensive with his death, which I hope won’t come for decades. Respect for illness is after all no excuse for lack of thrift.
After the break we discussed metabolism, I got my pants off about the second law of thermodynamics and anti matter, my professor then threatened to hit me with a bottle cleaner and we all had a good laugh before he let the class out ten minutes early. He’s an awesome professor; then again it’s been a while since I’ve had a lousy one. I read a bit more, until the bus arrived, then went home.
When I got home, I went straight for dinner. Ziti with red sauce and parmesan cheese. I then spent a bit of time on the computer, emailing my professor about getting me a new text book, (it’s falling apart and evidently there was a recall by the manufacturer) which she requested I do to remind her after having brought it up for class.
Being tired, I decided its long time I do something to relax and clear my head, something I haven’t done in far too long. I took a long hot bath, (after cleaning up the bathroom.) Having just gotten out, I feel so wonderful I can hardly describe it to you. Which is good because tomorrow is all calculus all day as I have a test due, either tomorrow or the day after. I’m hopeful I can get an extension on that if need be. If all goes well I’ll have this week’s work and test done by this weekend just in time for the midterm. Which is just a compilation of all the tests I have already done, which means a review, not actual studying.
Anyway, victory is mine, I’m a genius, all hail me, and I’m going to bed.
