Just another day...

darn bio lab... the primary research paper isnt making much sense to me.. but considering i have a presentation on it tomorrow.. i have to stay up and try to understand it anyway... ugh!

just found out that UT is gonna offer 3 new major programs next year.. biochem, pharmacology and toxicology! damn UT! why didnt they just offer it last year? when i was cracking my head over which program to go into.. now they wanna do this to me.. so fickle fickle me.. cant decide between biochem, toxicology and nutrition... i feel like taking all three... technically speaking i can do all three.. considering some of the required courses overlap... but i guess it'll be up to the department to decide if they'll take me... will need to enquire about stats for nutrition though.. i hate stats.. and unless im quite sure im getting into nutrition.. i really wouldnt wanna take it...

well that's something to think about i guess.. but for now.. i need to go shop for black slacks... that volunteering event insisted on a dress code! why cant they just say slacks? why must it be specifically black?! now i gotta go buy one.. hopefully i do find one.. i mean there's gotta be a reason why i dont own one pair... like i have yet to find a pair that looks good on me? sigh.. well going with bertina to look around tomorrow.. hopefully all turns out well..

i finally did it! :D i finally went to the public library and got a card today.. so now i can borrow tonnes of books! hehe.. as a matter of fact i checked 5 out today... wanted to take 6 at first.. but i decided since its so near, i can just go back anytime i want... i'd spent the whole evening devouring one.. light-hearted comical storyline makes good reading.. and i just realised i havent done much reading at all last year.. which is a shame.. hoping to be able to find more time to read this year..

anyway, py said she's going to be making cheesecake this weekend.. so i'll be waiting for that.. gotta do fill my tax return forms soon too..

now im wondering can i get a 'burn' from sitting under the study lamp too long.. i've had that thing shining right down at me for almost 6 hrs.. and now my forehead and cheeks are looking a little redder than usual.. weird.. maybe im just imagining stuff.. gotta get my eyes checked :p

feeling kinda tired now.. havent had decent sleep the whole week... maybe i should call it an early night tonight.. but im itching to start on my next book... dang...

finally! im done with all my midterms :) phew.. now maybe i can breathe easier for a bit before i start on my finals.. only thing standing my way of having an all out celebration of freedom is a few hmb assignments and one last quiz.. oh.. and some labs... and lab reports... hmm.. seems like im not going to be all that free afterall i guess..

had pasta for dinner.. mushroom and romano cheese pasta sauce out of the bottle.. topped with some shrimp, broccoli and ham... yum! this pasta sauce out of the bottle isnt half bad... maybe i can do this more often...

skipped pcl today to sleep in before my test.. which i think was a good choice.. at least i felt my brain was functioning when i was writing the test.. unlike when i was writing pcl last week.. anyway the test wasnt great.. there were two big questions (out of seven) which i couldnt do.. but the weird thing is i dont actually feel so bad about the test.. cause i know for a fact i didnt study much for those two sections.. whereas if i did badly on sections i did study... i'd feel absolutely horrible.. well keeping my fingers crossed on this one..

summer timetable is out.. my psl lectures are going to be in the evening.. 3 hrs each session 6 hours per week... *dread* still looking around for another course to take.. too bad they dont offer any of my other required courses during summer.. maybe i'll try and fulfill that humanities.. another thing to *dread*

well for now.. i'm going to just kick back today.. and get down to some writing i've put on hold..

have been very unproductive today on the academic end.. yet there are other things that seem to be moving along...

was talking to my sis about my bro.. maybe its been too long since she's been 17 or maybe she just cant imagine being in his shoes.. but anyhow i think she's being a little too critical of him.. i cant exactly say he's not to be blamed.. but there had been other factors.. i'd really like to have a talk with him.. even though i cant see how that'd help considering im here.. and all i know is what i hear from others..

theme for today: pictures

was also talking to kc today.. hadnt talked to him in like forever... he seems to be doing ok.. stressed as usual.. but he seems to enjoy what he's doing.. lucky him! he hadnt changed one bit since i last saw him.. slightly more than 2 years ago.. but i seem to have 'matured' (in the matter of looks iho).. which i guess is just a more polite way to say i look older now :p but oh well..

weird thing.. i saw a picture of an old friend whom i havent met in a long LONG time.. could barely recognise.. well to be honest i wouldnt have known at all if not for the caption under the pic :p

also saw some amazing pictures.. there was one of a portrait of a very angelic looking girl.. it was a picture of serenity.. as was a picture of a sleeping seal.. it was a pretty 'simple' picture just seal(s) sleeping on rocks.. but it definitely captured the 'emotion' very well..

its still snowing again.. seems like i tend to blog when its snowing.. or is it the other way around? anyway.. the weather's been acting up the past week.. super cold one day.. then snow for a few days.. then rain and cold again.. but just read that in toronto.. this is supposed to be an indication that spring's around the corner.. and honestly i cant wait.. had alot lower tolerance for winter this year.. cant seem to wait for it to end.. which is weird considering im not even going back this summer.. sigh...

had not done any work at all since my pcl test on wednesday night.. went out to check out some camera shops yesterday morning... and saw this really cool lens by lensbabies for taking pictures that are partially sharp and partially blurred.. the most fun part would be the focusing.. have never seen one like that... but considering my knowledge in this field is pretty shallow.. it doesnt say that much :p

then went out to canadian tire to stock up on light bulbs.. which is a smart thing to do.. coz when we get back.. the bulb in the kitchen blew.. i feel like i've been blowing my budget this month.. keep spending a bomb in a day on 'i dunno what'.. hai...

chem test is next week.. in SF again.. im wondering if there's any way i can take the early sitting even though i dont have a clash.. i really really hate taking any test in SF.. i've never done well in any of the test i've done there.. maybe im still haunted by physics/calc.. or maybe the feng shui is incompatible with me.. or maybe im just lousy... but i really would prefer to not have to take a test in SF... sigh..

im crazy.. i have finished 12 episodes of six feet under in one day! and that's like the entire first season except for the first episode! its a very weird show that strikes my weird sense of humour cord..

started today off quite weirdly... woke up from a 5 hrs sleep by a stranger.. 'hungover' from 10 hrs of the show... then an old friend started saying funny things.. bt it helped.. at least made my day start off with a laugh... he still amuses me after all this time.. lol

the only thing upsetting is the chunks of snow that keep landing on my window all of a sudden.. huge chunks i might add.. if i was walking outside.. i ought to be careful.. or anyone for that matter.. someone could just die from it.. lol if i had to die.. and dont look too good.. i want rico to help repair me ;p

oh well.. should go get ready for class... today's going to be a good day.. i can feel it :)
