Finals

Finals aren't fun, as usual.

You'd think I'd have realized it by now.

Chemistry kinda sucks. Biology kinda sucks.
Biochemistry is going to suck.

I pretty much hate chemistry but for some reason, I've taken two semesters of it already and am going to take Organic Chemistry next semester even with how much I loathe it.

I want to be a pharmacist but there's a lot of chemistry walls I have to walk through and I'm not too good at being a ghost.

I was talking to one of the pharmacists at the store I work at and he said that he hates chemistry with a passion.

I guess it's possible even with an uncontrollable rage against chemistry.
I'm sort of like the incredible hulk, you know?
Like chemistry is the thing that makes me angry.

I dunno.

wish me luck on my finals.

Soyjoy, Gogirl, and Polyphonic Spree

So it's monday.
I began my day with a healthy dose of Soyjoy bar and a tasty Gogirl energy drink, I know, I'm so darn healthy, right?
I think my favorite energy drink has to be Gogirl. They don't sell them at my drugstore so I'm stuck outsourcing for the extremely pink beverage. Seriously, the liquid is pink. Like hot pink. It's AWESOME.
Anywho's,
We're watching Borat in my Drama 62 class. Pretty weird. I guess it's better than having to listen to lecture.
That film has got some seriously weird scenes. I watched it in the theaters when I was in high school, but its weird watching it again. I didn't think I'd ever have to see a very furry man in a strangely cut yellow bathing suit again.
So I'm at home now, relaxing before my chemistry lab I have later today at 6.
I really don't feel like going.
We had our lab practical/exam thing last week.
If you've never taken Chem 1B at CSUF the practical is basically.. well, you're given an unknown solution and you have to run tests to tell what types of ions are present in it.
I found out that I had cobalt and silver ions. Woo.
It's pretty stressful. I was so lucky.
Before my lab, I've decided to lift my spirits with some happy, choral, polyphonic spree.
And here's a video where scrubs, one of my favoorrite tv shows, and polyphonic spree combine.
Oh the amazingness.

How things kill you.

So today in chemistry we had a sub.
My usual chemistry teacher enjoys mixing chemicals together in demos in the class.
On Wednesday he mixed an entire bottle of calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid.
Which equals loads and loads of bubbles.
Preeetty intense actually.
But the sub today enjoys... well, telling us how chemicals can kill us.
So I learned how exactly you die from eating or drinking cyanide.
And that is what I will share with you.

Well, our blood contains hemoglobin. Hemoglobin contains iron as it transports oxygen through your blood stream.
When you ingest cyanide, the iron in the hemoglobin bonds much more easily to the cyanide than to the oxygen, leaving the cells in your body without oxygen, killing you in a matter of minutes.

Great stuff right?
Don't eat cyanide.

Extra helpings

So, In a previous post, I was worrying about getting laid off from work.
Well... the tide has turned, in a most tumultuous way. (I really like the world tumultuous, it's pretty magical. Anywho)

Our staff sheet went from the length of Santa's beard to the length of the creepy flesh colored beard of Spencer from The Hills.
So very sad.
Because the staff sheet has been cut, I'm getting MORE hours. More hours than I think I can handle.
I really don't want to fail my college classes. Especially chemistry. I hate chemistry so much.

I guess I'll spend Thanksgiving getting ready to dive into my chemistry book.
Aww, chemistry and turkey, a very good combination.
