Finals
I will be spending a majority of my weekend studying for my finals. I only have two but they are both in my hard classes, and both on the same day, Monday. I also found out yesterday that my chem final is not just semester cumulative but YEAR cumulative which means that I'll be tested over gen chem I and gen chem II stuff. YAY, as if I don't already have a ton to study. I planned on starting my finals study over this last week. That didnt' work out so well since I had several tests and a presentation last week. So basically I'm cramming. We'll see how that turns out.
A birthday
Yesterday I took my friend out for her nineteenth birthday. In her birthday card I wrote, "Happy birthday old lady.. oh wait, that's me!" Some of my friends at school make me feel so old. We went out to lunch then headed over to the mall. I had her pick out something for her birthday. She picked out a Nickelback CD. I'm not a huge fan.. but it wasn't for me. After that we went to a department store and tried on some formal dresses for the fun of it and took pictures. Overall I'd say it was pretty fun.
Science Dork
Last night I got to eat dinner with Dr. Campbell. He is the co-creator of Dolly the cloned sheep. He is a very friendly and funny guy. Contrary to what the news reported Dolly did not die prematurely due to "Old DNA." She died of a lung disease common to sheep and passed on in their water supply. I also found out that she was named Dolly because she was cloned from a mamory cell and Dolly Parton has plenty of those ;)
I HATE GROUP PROJECTS
So, Friday was an interesting day. I think I bombed my chem test. I hope not... but I just have a bad feeling. Also I ended up staying at school until 9:00 p.m. to work on a group zoology research project. There is a guy in my group who can be VERY irritating. He took a plastic lid from one of our respirometers and scraped it across the table making a very loud screeching sound. The rest of us said, "AH! what are you doing?" a few minutes later he got up and scraped them across the chalkboard. He and I got in to an argument about it and he walked off in a huff. Say it with me, ASS-HOLE! Yeah... this is the kind of shit I have to deal with sometimes. There are also several members of the group that have done ZERO work and never show up. So pretty much if we get an A for busting our tails, they get an A for doing zip. I hate group projects!
