School is done!

So as you can tell…I have just finished my finals!!!!! Well, I finished them yesterday.  God am I happy to be done! This term was crazy for me! I felt like I was on a roller coaster for most of just trying to get things done, and then never ever really being able to do much! 

Tonight is the senior “Tour of Galesburg” it is going to be amazing on so many different levels! I will post pictures don’t you worry!

Do you know what that means though? I have to start looking for applications for graduate. I have to organized about that shit. OH.  I don’t really want to do it though because of all the other associated work that I have to do along with it! 

Last night I watched the movie Dazed and Confused, and well I will write a review of it, but first I have to get my senses back first.  Does anyone know what happened to CCR??? I have been listening to their music so much lately. They have such a great sound! Wow that just made me sound like the Jazz muscian that I am…

Also, Pandora is hiring! WOOT! I wish that I was a CS major. It would be awesome to just sit around do some code, and listen to freak’in awesome music all day. 

 

Today. Finals. Biology. Advanced Organic. Lab Research. Piano. Piano Lesson. Trombone Lesson.

So yeah. That was my day. Death might better. I am so ready at this point for sleep, but I know that I have like at least 5-6 hours of work that I need to so that I can just catch up. GAH. I do want to sleep tonight. I do. I so so. You have no idea how much I do. SLEEP. 

Anyway, 

I have that all is going well below is a linked to really cool story from PRI’s Studio 360. A radio show that I listen to a whole lot! I really have talked about my love radio on this blog much, but well. I heart radio. 

So, Till at least Sunday. Good bye! and Good Luck!!!

Indiana Jones…Rides the Wave to the Finish

While this movie is by now mean reliable or even viable, it is still none the less thrilling with action and adventure. The movie comes forward with a sort of raw power that grabs you in even with the plot holes, and things that we know are just well impossible, ie surviving an atomic blast in the fridge.  Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of  Crystal Skull is great for the mid-size young’ins. I would not really recommend it to the

younger kids. It has a bit to much of the way-bam slam dunk type of action for the little kids, but just the right amount of action the adults. The movie features all the great parts of the past Indiana Jones movies, the crazy Nazi’s (Russians in this movie), the a great adventure, and an awesome dame. The original Mary from the first movie is back again! The movie is so completely over the top that it works. The way that from the start the movie never attempts to hide behind it’s cheesy facade is what makes its work. Some other characters of note is Cate Blanchett playing Irinia Spalko, the sultry russian. Also, we have the great British actor John Hurt playing Mr. Oxley.  The movie is worth a go to in all of its cheesy wonderfulness.   

In other news the end of the term is on its way. This means that finals are coming here too, which to be quite honest is going to be awesome. I don’t think that I have ever been more nervous about a set of finals. I cannot believe that the end of the term is here, and well I just GAHHHH don’t quite what I am thinking about for next year.  I really really want to go the University of Colorado for graduate school, but I wonder if my grades are going to cut it. 

Till Much Later,

SPRING! No. Not yet.

 

So, 

 

Spring needs to be here. It is April. I see no reason why the weather should be this shitty. I think that I am going through the like I need the sun more in my life phase where I feel like that it should be sunny and that I should be able to go to Salvation and Army and get a crappy bike and go on a bike or SOMTHING! I just don’t know. Seriously I really don’t

 

Anyqay ( I just typed that wrong, but I am going to keep it)

I started watching this TV show last night with some friends, and in all of it’s ridiculousness it SO funny. I am totally going to need to get the seasons on DVD so that I can watch. I cannot wait for this summer when I will be able to go the movies, and have netflix. I am such a movie nerd when I have the time to do it! hahaha…You have no idea.

So this show a brief history as it has been passed down to me….

It started in the mid-70’s, and it has been going off and on ever since. The show has had like ten different Dr. Who’s. I think that is kind of cool though, like image what it would be like if Friends was like an evolving door of characters…kinda of like ER but better. ISo,

Day 2

So last night I started to watch Sunset Boulevard starring William Holden and Gloria Swanson, and directed by the late and still great Billy Wilder. The movie is a smash if you have never let yourself see it! I think that it is one of the all time great! Unfortunately, my friend Yvonne decided that she was jet-lagged…haha…and that we couldn’t watch all of it. 

Maybe I can finish it i this weekend? I hope.

 

 

Anyway, I had class today once again! This first really day of organic chemistry and boy was it fun! We talked about the history aspirin, and how it is made. We also talk about lots of different drug types, and how they function and where their functionality came from…It wa alot of fun! 

So fun facts:

Lets see…Statins like Lipitor and Crestor work by via competitive inhibition! They block the HMG-CoA Reductase, and can therefore stop the production of squalene which eventually cyclizes to become cholesterol! WORD…yup thats cool.

Going to the gym tonight as well! Going to learn how to use the free-weight, at least I hope. I think that I have choosen a somewhat scarry teach a NCAA D. III ranked wrestler…I might not be able to walk tomorrow. How sad would that be? I think think that it would be really really sad! I hope that you too feel the same way. 

I am still looking for some good falafel????

 

 

Yuck and Good.

Hello All!

So, Yuck…A great way to start off a blog entry I know, but it is the way I have been feeling a lot lately. I just don’t feel like my life has been going anywhere. In high school, I was a different person that what Knox has changed me too. At Knox, I feel like I am in cluster-fuck all the time! I cannot be involved at all…I want to have music and art in my life, but I cannot I have chemistry. I think that perhaps…Idk anymore that I choose a school way to hard for me…that it could have been good to go an “easy” school.  I wish that Knox had like a support system for this…supposedly teachers are supposed to understanding, but no.

Besides my shittyness good things have been happening! Feb 1 = the marriage of Adam and Amanda! She is my only female cousin! I was the reader at my wedding, I felt very blessed to be in this position. I was so nervous when it actually came to the day even though I have done the readings at weddings like a million times. I think that I looked pretty good for the wedding even though my mom wasn’t very happy with my haircut. Elise had just cut. I think it looks good. 

Also, I just found out that I get to do some really fun research with Larry next term! I am so excited…It is going to be awesome! I cannot believe it actually. I am so happy. Also, I have ONE more biology class left! YES! I hate biology…ugk.

I really also, want to state how much I am in love with David Sedaris right…If you like dogs and humor you should check out his latest bit on This American Life, Episode 154. Very funny. Especially if you are a college student. 

Well…I will see you soon!

YouTube:  I should really figure out how to post this on my blog.
