    Why do I keep doing this to myself
    That was so bad.

    There aren't even words for how bad that was.

    I know I failed the physics final, and I failed it in the most horrific way possible. Going into the final, I knew there was no way I could get an A, and I'd have needed a 92% on that test to get a B. I think I only needed a 40% or something to get a C, and I don't even know if I got that, that's how bad it was.

    I'm going to try to not emo up people's friendslists and whatnot, but I'm really crushed right now and it's such a severe depression that I'm not even having ANY sort of emotional reaction to it. I mean, I guess that's better than crying or something, but it's just like I've become so numbed to failure during my time in college that it doesn't even affect me at all anymore.

    *needs a self-esteem team*

    Going to go heat up spaghetti water or something, and continue walking around like some kind of dead-eyed zombie. (I have the circles under my eyes to play some sort of horror film character...I'm starting to resemble Cesare.)

    (On a happy note, watched WDTSS and TSIAMOIP from Craig Ferguson on facebook, and John, John, John, Dan, Danny and Marty can always cheer me up. Maybe I should go watch it again.)
    1:59 am
    So I was supposed to go to karaoke originally, but then I realized that I don't have a car. I didn't have a ride from anyone else either, so I just stayed home and made chicken, and got to play "keep the cat away from the raw meat".

    Also, the studying has not been going well today, seeing as I didn't get out of bed until after 3pm. I actually tried going to bed at a reasonable time last night (note: when I say "reasonable", what I mean is "it was before 5am"). I spent a lot of time tossing and turning around in my bed and for some reason I just could not get to sleep. It was after 7am and I was still awake. I don't know when I finally got to bed, but I was literally lying there for hours trying to sleep and failing.

    I kept remembering random stuff, like the discussion I was having with my friend over whether Big Boss would've killed Ocelot and EVA if they had survived to see him again. He said he didn't think so, BB would just "tell them to go live their lives out in peace or something". Which is what BB told Snake I guess, but Snake wasn't a Patriot, and I guess I'm just trying to figure out just to what lengths BB was willing to go to really wipe the Patriots off the face of the planet. Then it sort of turned into a "so just how emo is Big Boss anyway?" discussion and sort of wandered off from there, and then I made fun of him some more for not having beaten any of the games, and then he chastized me and kept throwing his job in my face talking about how hopefully he'll be MAKING games soon. He's a good guy though, I wish him luck, I really do.

    Other things running through my mind last night: it occurred to me that what with Demoman complaining about his BROKEN HEART in the Soldier vs. Demo "war" on the official TF2 site, it would be a prime opportunity to work some TMBG references into something. Because y'know, he only has one eye. And, uh, yeah. Cyclops Rock and all that jazz.

    ALSO THIS HORRIBLE IDEA I HAD INVOLVING LADY GAGA. In before most ideas involving Lady Gaga are horrible, because she is a sort of guilty, guilty, incredibly guilty pleasure of mine.

    So basically I managed to squander an entire week by not studying and completely reversing my sleep schedule, and now I have an exam in less than 7 hours. GUESS WHO'S NOT SLEEPING TONIGHT?

    Also Microsoft Word doesn't recognize "ribosomes" as a word, and this amuses me. (Any time I have to write anything for biology, I am always shocked by the real words that are not recognized by the spellchecker.)

    Writer's Block: The One Movie Everyone Should See

    What one film do you think everyone should see?

    The original 1968 version of The Producers, hands-down.

    "Animal Crackers" is my favorite movie, but it is admittedly an acquired taste, as I didn't quite "get" the Marx Brothers the first couple times I saw them, and the plot and the rest of the actors are horrifically dull. "The Producers" on the other hand, was funny to me from the time I was a little kid until now, and I've never really got sick of it or stopped finding it funny either. I still enjoy watching it any time it's on.

    I'm just going to say now that Hippie!Hitler is vastly superior to Gay!Hitler, before anyone brings up that dreadful musical remake. Really, all it takes to see that the original is superior is just to compare the two versions of the "you're gonna jump on me!/ I'm hysterical!" scene. Gene Wilder's performance in the original completely blows the remake out of the water. I mean, he's so hysterical his face is literally bright red. :D (Not to say that Zero isn't great too, but Gene just makes that scene what it is.)

    I Want To Do What The Cool Kids Are Doing
    Woohoo, holiday time. You know what that means.

    CARDS!

    (...because none of the people I know IRL wanted cards apparently, ha ha...I doubt the result here will be any different)

    Comments are screened, just drop your name and address and I will send you something. And while I don't know if anyone will actually respond to this, if you do that's cool because I LIKE TO DO COOL THINGS FOR COOL PEOPLE.

    I like to draw cool things for cool people too, so tell me if you want something on the inside of the card, because if you don't tell me what you'd like me to draw I'm gonna draw something anyway. probably something lame like birds or cats or reindeer, idk

    (This only really occurred to me because I saw a number of other people doing it, and because the number of cards my family receives has drastically decreased from what we used to get when I was a kid, and we send out a lot less too, so I figured hey, what the heck.)

    They'll probably get sent out mid-to-late next week, so if you are expecting something by Christmas you will likely be disappointed. Think of them as New Year cards! (And Chanukkah, if I can remember how to spell it, is crazy early this year, so I will still be in the middle of finals while that's going on.)

    (Also I am already getting present guilt from certain people buying me stuff when I did not know they were doing it, leaving me without anything to give them in return. Damn!)

    I had a poncho when I was younger, but Clint Eastwood's is much more badass than mine ever was.


    Finals are next week, so I will probably be scarce for a while as I pretend to study.

    Once I get my Java junk cleaned up tomorrow I'll probably see if I can finish The Good The Bad and The Ugly before settling back into more genetics and bio. And phyics. Oh god, physics. The problem with math is that unlike the rote memorization of biology, math involves actually solving stuff. And a lot of the time, it's a "you see it or you don't" sort of situation. Either I see it instantly, know how to solve it, and get the right solution, or I am hopeless stumped and fail miserably. I'm not the sort of person who typically gets very far when reasoning out the unknown, as I always seem to make things more complicated (see: Archimedes' principle problem from the last exam).

    I am pretty sure I typed the exact same thing in a previous post, but my sentiments haven't changed in the slightest. Man, how am I going to pull off a B in those three classes, argh. I still don't know how to study. This has been my worst semester ever grade-wise. And stress-wise. And like...everything-wise. It's just been a bad semester all around and I'm sort of relieved it's coming to a close.

    Also, Dear Messers. Kojima, Shinjikawa, and whoever is responsible for the renders of the Peace Walker characters:

    STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME BISEXUAL MAN, BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORKING.



    HRRRRRNGH, OK, MAYBE IT IS WORKING A LITTLE...

    Strangelove is freakin' hot, Huey looks exactly like Otacon, what else is new.

    (Cecile, Amanda, and Chico are still boring as hell. And Paz still screams Giant Mary Sue to me, or something. MAGICAL SCHOOLGIRL! And Galvez and Coldman look even more like pedos now than they did before. Ew. And yet I am still excited for this game somehow.)

    So which area is affected? Broca's or Wernicke's?
    Doing some Googling whilst chilling post-band practice and after getting through my first final. So glad to see that I was not the only person who just about died of laughter upon seeing the stereotypical inner-city black girl named "Aphasia" on Glee last week. I only watched the show because my brother changed the channel and I was too lazy to move upstairs to continue watching Mythbusters. But really....Aphasia? You are pulling my leg man.

    In which I mock Glee some more... )I'm going to complain about Glee some more, woohoo... )Read more... )
    OH! And I have the PS3 now, which is exciting, but I don't have any games yet, which is less exciting. Um, yeah.

    And speaking of aphasia, I got a B in physio. Crap. I had a 91% on the final but it wasn't enough to get me an A. (My previous two tests were another 91 and an 85.) Oh well. One final down, four to go (plus an optional 5th final, but I'm hoping I can get an A in that class without having to take it.)

    Somebody who watches Glee should inform me if Aphasia has any friends named Alexia or Agraphia, because I will seriously die of laughter if that happens. I swear to god, do the writers even know what aphasia is? I'm not sure which would make it worse; knowing that it was intentional, or knowing that they honestly had no idea that they were naming a girl after a term for speech disorders.

    this is me procrastinating or something

    This goddamn song is stuck in my head, ahhhh I have no idea what she's saying because IT'S IN RUSSIAN.

    I think I just alienated the kendo officers or something, idk, but all sorts of bad stuff has been happening to us towards the end of this semester. It's almost like forces beyond our control are conspiring against us. I'd blame god if I were a religious person, but I'm not, so I'm just going to blame The Patriots.

    GUYS MY PS3 IS SUPPOSED TO ARRIVE IN THE MAIL TOMORROW I'M SO EXCITED. Or technically today I guess, since it's Thursday now and why am I not in bed I have an exam tomorrow arghghhg.

    Ok look, my brain is just fried, I solemnly swear that I will make some post containing something of actual worth once I get through finals.

    Augh I need to finish my MGS and TF2 secret santa fic/art before I start trying to draw/write anything else. :( Started the MGS fic and I at least think I know where I am going with it now, which took me so long to figure out. So I at least have a framework to flesh out. As for TF2 artwork, I am still kicking ideas around in my head for that one...

    THIS $319 DEFICIT IN MY BANK ACCOUNT

    Guess who just bought a PS3 and MGS4?

    ...yeah, I am lame and have no self control. And besides, I don't have to pay tax if I buy it on Amazon. But I'll need something to play since I've got a friend looking to borrow my other MGS games. She's interested in playing them for the plot, hoo boy. I have already volunteered to hang on as plot consultant for the first three Playstation games...sort of like for my other friend when he wrote his MGS essay on video games as art. Then I found out he had never actually beaten any of the games and had just watched 2 on youtube and had played up to Raging Raven on 4. Pffft come on man, I would never write about a series I had never played before. Ignore the seme!Ion fanfic that I wrote on loldrant back before I even owned a PS2, ha ha...

    Oh hey, I bought a Christmas-themed Darth Vader bobblehead. He's chillaxing next to Ocelot torturing Edgar Allen Poe.
    ...look, at least I don't collect those creepy underage anime girls with the boobs and the panty shots, ok? I'd like to think that this is relatively normal by comparison. XD

    Haven't been on LJ since THE NIGHT WITH THE VODKA, so I am behind, lol. It's break; I think I deserve a break. Even though I find turkey to be dry and unpalatable...

    This is the first time I've ever actually wanted to go to grandma's house, and I just wanted to look at the shotgun, OTL. It's from WWI which is why I'm interested in it, because I am a huge nerd for old stuff. (I'm an old instrument collector, and really, reading up about these things online shows me that gun collectors are just like another species of instrument collector. Except that I'm pretty sure my saxophone can't accidentally kill me.) It's a Winchester Model 12, but the fact that it says "Model 1912" on the barrel proves that it was made in 1919 or earlier (which makes sense, given that it was issued to my great-grandpa for the Great War).

    Unfortunately, the serial numbers don't seem to match up with the dates I'm seeing, so I don't know what's going on with that...oh well.

    OT: Finally got an ubersaw in TF2. Feels good man. Still don't have a hat, but at least the servers I've been on lately don't pull that childish shit where they make the halos read "cocksucker" or "faggot" or whatever. They're hats. Grow the fuck up. Just because you cheated and got punished and someone else didn't, why the hell does it matter? I still wish Valve hadn't introduced the hats in the first place because all they do is start stupid pointless drama over NOTHING.

    Apparently it has snowed TWICE in the past two days, but I have not seen so much as a flake either day. :\

    MY FRIENDS PAGE IS FULL OF SNAKE PENISES. AS IN, A PENIS THAT IS A SNAKE.

    ...k, I'm gonna go to bed now, because it's been a really loooong week, and I was going to type some stuff or comment on some people's things or respond to comments or whatever but I'm tired. So. Uh. Yeah.

    Wish I knew how to color things in digitally and not have it look like shit, aaaahh.

    Also I made curry with my eight million potatoes, and it was tasty. Yum.

    Sidewalk prostheletizers revisited
    JESUS CHRIST Y'ALL ARE DUMB

    No, seriously. Handing out copies of "The Origin of Species" with a bunch of ridiculous creationist nonsense inserted into the WORLD'S LONGEST AND MOST ANTAGONISTIC FORWARD EVER (by someone who is somewhat ironically named "Comfort").

    I mean seriously, what is the point of even pretending to not have an agenda? "Teach the controversy" my eye, the forward is a flat out plea for conversion of the reader ("confess your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior"). Because if there's one things Christians don't understand, it's science history people ANYTHING subtlety.

    I love how people think that bringing Hitler into an argument proves anything. As if saying "HITLER BELIEVED IN EVOLUTION" is supposed to actually say something about evolution itself. Besides, weren't the nazis pretty big into god anyway?

    I mean, the KKK supported literal interpretation of the bible, but you're not going to see any scientists using that as a reason why creationism is wrong. It's wrong because there's absolutely no testable, proveable, or otherwise verifiable evidence to support it, and all the evidence that does exist supports evolution. And it's not the sort of thing you can just choose to not believe in either. Evolution is tied to so many other things in so many different ways that rejecting it without throwing out tons of other science along with it is near impossible.

    FFFFF I JUST MADE ANOTHER RP JOURNAL
    ...That makes two of them. And yet I haven't actually apped to anywhere yet because I'm not really sure what's active and what's good and what will fit into my schedule given the buttload of schoolwork I have to do all the time. Anybody want to direct me to someplace good?

    lol what... )

    tl dr; I'd rather just read other people's banter since it's posted elsewhere anyway, since they're all so damn good and IC.

    OH HELLO THERE BIO LAB REPORT, I DIDN'T SEE YOU THERE. SNEAKING UP ON ME LIKE THAT. *write write write* BUT WHEN WILL I STUDY FOR MY PHYSICS TEST? Oh shit and there's a java project proposal due at midnight. All I write about is what I'm supposed to be doing, I swear...I knew I should've been a music major.

    Y'know, I am just gonna chill come this Friday. Chill and relax after getting through this hellish week, and try to stop being so bipolar on the internet.

    The awesomeness, and the aftermath


    The good: Kendo tournament, good food, weird conversations with Hiroko, all the crazy stuff in Chinese, going to Mitsuwa
    The bad: Thinking about the overall lack of organization among officers and the direction the club is going, etc., the fact that we lost a lot of matches ha ha (I won one, which is more than most of the people did)
    The ugly: Remembering that I have TWO tests tomorrow, realizing that I spent over $70 shopping today, the nasty bruise on my arm from an errant kote strike. D:

    BUT THE STUFF I BOUGHT WAS SO AWESOME.

    So Mitsuwa is a big Japanese grocery store thing, except that they also have other stores and stuff inside, and a food court too. So I had actual ramen in a bowl, not from a pack, and I got to have some sort of crazy green tea mango drink too. I bought some curry and a melon cream soda and some Koala March and those goddamn delicious gummies (in grape and litchi flavor).

    And there was a bookstore. With a big special magazine on Naoki Urasawa which I had to buy, because he owns my soul (or at least the other part of my soul that doesn't belong to Hideo Kojima). And 20th Century Boys. And PHOENIX WRIGHT MANGA OMG. And a big Playstation Dengeki mag which had Tales of Vesperia on the cover and also had a special insert on it (presumably for the PS3 release of the game). There was also a section on Peace Walker, and a section on Final Fantasy XIII, and a bunch of other stuff. So yeah, I spent like $42 dollars in the bookstore alone. :\

    I feel stupid for bringing my camera in my already overstuffed backpack this weekend and then not taking pictures of anything. Or bringing my bio textbook and printing out my genetics notes, then spending my entire time in the car (over 7 hours each way!) either listening to music on my iPod or playing Portable Ops (which, btw, totally makes me feel like I'm playing Metal Gear Pokemon. Gotta catch 'em all!)

    Will post pics of the stuff I bought later, but right now I have to study.

    Gonna go declare a major, doot do dooooo! (Or at least one of them...)

    Waiting on the advisor hold to get lifted for class registration so I can sign up for stuff before it all fills up. Hurry up Dr. Deal!

    To Do List (in order of ideal priority):
    Register for classes before they all fill up
    Finish Java hw
    Do physics hw
    Email Physics prof about grades
    Begin writing lab report
    Begin studying for bio/genetics/physics/java tests next week
    Practice clarinet
    Write writing assessment on myself
    Sleep
    Finish stuff in photoshop and get some of the junk I draw scanned in
    Work on Medic cosplay (especially finding boots)
    Re-do "Rocket Jump Waltz" transcription, resume work on "The Best Is Yet To Come" and Sunny's Theme transcriptions
    Practice piano
    Work on TF2/MGS fanfics
    Video games


    Whenever the TF2Chan/mgs_slash/fanworks Secret Santa stuff comes out, I'll have to start working on my prompts for that too, which hopefully will not get pushed back too late. The problem is in seeing if I will be able to get a working copy of Photoshop at home, since the one on my laptop only works when plugged in to the internet at college (which is stupid and a TERRIBLE idea).

    Ok, time to go become a psych major.

    (Addendum to list: GET NEW LJ ICONS. I need TF2 and MGS icons; why do I not have any? Looks like I'll have to dump some Phoenix Wright or Harvey Birdman ones to make room.)

    Yeah, no. Just no. Especially since any time I hear him in any other role, all I can hear is Dist. Oh Dist. Not like I don't love Dist, because I do, but Tenma is not a crazy gay engineer who dresses like a flower.

    *I really wish I had a Dist icon for this, but I'll have to settle for Dr. Mambo. :D *

    ebay, why must you do this to me...

    Bought a copy of Portable Ops and paid for it via paypal immediately after I won it. This was on Thursday night. I leave for Chicago Friday evening of this week, so I thought I'd like to have something to play on my new PSP for the long car ride especially since I haven't downgraded the firmware yet to let me play downloaded games, lol.

    So anyway, that was Thursday. I was hoping the seller would ship it on Friday, but he didn't. So I thought "well, there's always Saturday". Except that he didn't ship it them either. And now it's Sunday and there's no mail and I swear to god if this thing isn't in the mail by Monday...seriously man, I paid when I was supposed to. Unless he just like, shipped it and didn't feel like notifying me about it, but that's kind of a dick move right there. The dude lives only one state away, I should totally be able to get this game before Friday. I don't see what's so complicated about this.

    I DON'T KNOW IF I MENTIONED THE FACT THAT I HAVE FOUR TESTS NEXT WEEK. DID I MENTION THE FACT THAT I HAVE FOUR TESTS? IN ONE WEEK? RIGHT AFTER I LOSE AN ENTIRE WEEKEND DUE TO KENDO? AND I HAVE TWO LAB REPORTS DUE?

    Also I got bored and scribbled EVEN MORE junk on my tablet (and by junk I mean junk because I don't have time to draw nice things).


    Grumpy Winter Medic is Grumpy. (It apparently snowed in my hometown a couple weeks ago or something. WTF)

    I drew a Heavy in a ushanka, might put that up too once it gets colder. It was unusually warm yesterday when I went to go get Arceus from Toys R Us with my friend, so I showed up in my Mad Bomber hat and wound up leaving it in the car. I basically live in that hat from November through March every year because it's so damn cold...

    While it's killing you dead, it will mess with your head

    Was killing my brain in band today trying to remember the name of one of the Blurnsball teams from Futurama, and then I realized that I wasn't sure if it was spelled "Blurnsball" or "Blernsball" or something else altogether. I felt like a very bad fan. :(

    (Attendance sheet for clarinets today involved filling out what baseball team we were supporting, and I was going to write down something witty, hurr hurr. One of my clarinet row-buddies from last year put down "Isotopes"--I can only assume he means Springfield. :D)

    Is it bad that any time I hear the words "fire sale", I automatically think of Tobias from Arrested Development? That segment is still one of my favorite things in the entire show.

    Physiological Psych test tomorrow. I need to brush up on my neurotransmitters and agonists/antagonists and junk. I am really sick of having so much stuff to do all the time. My back is killing me. I bet it's related to being hunched over my desk/keyboard/physics homework all the time. I think it goes without saying at this point, but I really fucking hate writing lab reports. TAs are total bitches. I must've just been lucky last year and gotten a decent grader. I don't mean physics, because the lab TA and grader are one and the same, and she's pretty laid back. But biology, sweet zombie jesus, it's a bunch of insane Chinese women. D: It makes me kinda wonder how qualified they are to be grading anyone else's writing when the things they write on the papers they return to you are full of bizarre grammatical errors.

    ALSO I HAVE THIS REALLY CRAZY AWFUL IDEA TO ANIMATE A VIDEO...to "That Spells DNA" by Jonathan Coulton.

    Para-Medic is totally the best MGS biologist, and I still hate Naomi... )
    I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO USE FLASH TO ANIMATE STUFF.

    I will die two weeks from now. I have a kendo tournament over the weekend, followed by four exams and two lab reports all due over the span of one week. I will die. That's all there is to it. Death is tragic, but life is miserable, blah blah blah I hate college.

    Suck it up and just admit you need help, you pansy...
    I should know by now that I get awful stomachaches any time I drink coffee in the morning...caffeine works for some people, but it evidently does not work for me. I mean, I don't fall asleep, but that might just be because I'm in so much pain.

    So after having a really depressing day Wednesday, in which I found out that I failed my second physics test and had no idea how to do the Java hw that was due that night, I finally sucked it up and went to the Java prof  and TA basically begging for help.

    I am not the sort of person who goes to tutors or professors or anything ever. I tend to fail stuff miserably out of not wanting to ask for help, rather than going to SI sessions or office hours or anything like that that would actually benefit me. It's like all the jokes about the men who drive cars and don't want to stop for directions, so they get completely lost. Only instead of driving it'll be programming or physics or something else, and instead of getting lost it will be failing, and instead of it being some hypothetical stereotypical man it will be me.

    My study habits are as follows: there are none. I am still not used to not knowing how to do anything. I have been conditioned by my crappy high school/middle school/what have you to be able to think I can get away with not doing everything until the night before/day of, be it homework, studying, or anything else. This has not worked for me for the past two years; why am I still doing it now?

    Old habits die hard.

    ON THE PLUS SIDE, I DID GET A BUNCH OF CANDY AND A NEW HAT AND SOME SPONGES IN THE MAIL THE OTHER DAY.

    My physics prof dressed like a witch because she is weird. And she sort of went crazy for a little bit when the egg floated, since it wasn't supposed to float until she added the salt.

    And I drew a bunch of Big Bosses on everything, lol. (And Zeroes and Ocelots and Para-Medics and...dammit why do I like the Patriots, they're the bad guys. D: B-but, scones! Monster movies! Boxes! Meowing! Calorie Mate! Snake-shaped guns! What's not to love?) I really need to have an art dump one of these days. I keep saying that, but see, there's this little recurring procrastination problem that I have...>_<

    Ok, so my computer wouldn't boot AGAIN on Saturday when I restarted it after it kept kicking me out of capslock_mgs pchat.

    This laptop. This. Laptop.

    Goddamn.

    Hopefully I got the problem fixed now after running EastBCD. If that doesn't work, then I'm going to be forced to copy everything off the computer then wipe it and start over from scratch. Computers are wonderful things really, when they work. But they never seem to do that very reliably, do they?

    DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD IT IS TO SPEND A WHOLE WEEKEND WITHOUT A COMPUTER?!? It's like that weekend that there was no internet on campus. I almost died.

    Stayed up too late on Saturday playing Spyro and Tales of the Abyss and Persona 3:FES (ASDFGASFH THAT STUPID TABLE) and Metal Gear Solid.

    MGS is officially the best game to play in front of someone completely unfamiliar with the series. :D

    "What?!?! Why is that guy naked?!?!"
    "He must be called Liquid Snake because he wants to get his liquid all over Solid Snake."
    "Solid Snake. That is like, the gayest thing you could possibly name a character."(At which point I informed her of "Naked Snake", to much laughter.)
    "Look at the way he's stroking his gun!"
    "I love C4!"

    I should try and get to Otacon with her in the room...oh man. Can only imagine what her reaction to that would be.

    Also I kept dying during the Ocelot fight because I was either being lazy or trying to kill him with C4 for fun. So we got to hear the "long silver bullet into a well-greased chamber" line about five times in a row, and my suitemate cracked up every single time. And she cracked up some more just thinking about it later.

    We also wound up watching Disturbia, which was like a really shitty version of Rear Window. Reasons why it sucked: 1. No Hitchcock. 2. No Jimmy Stewart. 3. It has stupid Shia LaBoeuf in it. 4. It has a bunch of stupid obnoxious teenagers in it because 5. It was obviously made for stupid teenagers.

    I'll keep my old movies, thank you very much. At least they don't suck.

    Why isn't there a TMBG song about oxidative phosphorylation?
    Seriously man, I could've used some help in remembering all the steps and intermediates of glycolysis and the Krebs/TCA/Citric acid whatever cycle.

    I really need to stop getting C's on all my tests. It's gotten pretty depressing. I have another test on Monday. It's like I don't get to have fun anymore because I'm either working, or relaxing/sleeping to make up for all the time I was working.

    I wonder if my 9th grade biology teacher still has that comic book I made about Eddie Enzyme and the substrates...she asked me if she could keep it because she liked it, even though I apparently got the science part of it wrong. I'm not really sure how though. I mean, it's enzymes. A high-school level bio class doesn't have much to say about them that's not readily understandible.

    Maybe I should've taken it as a sign that doing projects at 3am the day they're due is a bad idea. (And here I am, still doing the same thing six years later...)

    I wish there was some sort of magic drug to stop procrastination.
