Organic Presentation

School……….

I am really really ready for it to be over and done with right now. Not forever because well I am thinking of graduate school, but I need it to be done for like the year. Also, I needed it to be done like two weeks ago. I am so ready for my internship to start. You have no idea. This year has been great but I am ready for it to be over and done with. I sometimes wonder why I chose the major that I chose. Today, the told me though that I am still on the right track at least in that arena. I don’t think very many people get a kick out of reading books about Steroids, and the inate details of their inner-works. I do. I know that just means that I am bigger nerd than I am willing to admit.

So next year. I don’t know what to though. Something inside says that I should take a short break from science so that I can focus on some other things that are important in my life like music, and art. I wish that it was an easier decision. I still don’t know what I want to do post-Knox. I mean graduate school is on the list, and it is still pretty high up on that list. I am thinking that I am would like to maybe do that lab  coordinator job for a year. It would give the chance to put some nice things that I could take with me to graduate school. It would give the me the chance to also take some more environmental studies classes which is something that I really want to do. I wish that I would have started exploring this interests a little bit earlier. GAH. I would think about post-bach’in as well because then I would get to take two classes at a time instead of just taking one which is all that I would get to take if was doing the lab coordinator position. 

DECISIONS DECISIONS…

 

Thats all for right now.

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????
