Why did I take two science classes

All through out high school. I didn't need to study AT ALL. I retained information like a sponge. This all worked out for me; I could be half-asleep in class, doodle...as long as I listened and took some notes. When I entered college, a forgot how to properly study. This included trying to figure out if the book I was supposed to read was upside down or not, staring at the lecture notes for a good hour, and cramming. I realized that I finally reached max capacity. High School had less information, which meant less for me to remember. I happily flipped through my Zoology book today asking myself, "I wonder want I need to look over before the test on September 15th..." Looking over in Emily terms means "glance and close the book." Then it dawned on me, as I looked through my exam study guide. HOLY SHIT, I need to ACTUALLY study. Not half a decade of putting sunglasses on indoors to make it look like I was awake in class. NOPE. "Well, this shouldn't be too bad..."

Oh look, a diagram I have to remember. What? I have to memorize another 20 of these for the first test? This should be a PEICE OF CAKE!

Not only am I taking Zoology, but I'm taking Geology. Thank goodness I took a class at Portland State last year. At least I have somewhat of a leg up. Except I got problems wrong on my mineral exam, AGAIN. Fucking Fluorite and Barite? How do they work? The two samples looked too much alike. Plus it was open notes and book, so fail on my part. And it was 9:00 am, I had a bad night sleep, and my tonsil were red and throbbing. Nice way to start off Tuesday. Back to the fluorite and barite. The fluorite sample had like no cleavage. Fluorite is know for it's nice clean planes, but this sample confused the fuck out of me. Please Harper College, get a sample that actually looks like Fluorite.


I prime example of Fluorite, note how it's cubic


WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO FIRST YEAR GEOLOGY STUDENTS? The both are hunks of grey minerals that look like cubes. I know fluorite is more cubic than barite, I fucking read the book. But when you give us two minerals that look nearly identical and give us glass that's been scratched a billion times, how was I suppose to tell them apart. I'm an amateur. Not a geology superhero.

Psychology is going to be bleh. I know I'm going to have to write essays and present stuff, big whoop. But again, I need to actually read. Then I'm taking Math 080, AKA Lazy people class. I have to sit through almost a whole semester before we get to anything that I need to learn.


SCREW THIS! I can factor in two steps!

Other than that I'm taking pilates. My abs hurt everyday.

DOUBLE RAINBOW

Been obsessed with this video this week:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG8zNSf0c9k

I lol'd hard a this. But I was confused at why this man was yelling with such passion. Then Youtube brought up this related video.

So now I understand. The first video was a spoof on the Double Rainbow vid. I also lol'd hard at this, even harder than the first because it was real. Apparently this dude was really fucking high, probably on mushrooms or acid. It never ceases to amaze me how drugs like this can make everything so much more amazing and beautiful. Alcohol makes everything taste amazing, so does pot. I can't imagine what this guy was experiencing. I mean the double rainbows were pretty cool by themselves, but it seems with the shrooms it makes it like a fucking fantasy painting you see in those holistic medicine shops.

OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

SHHHHEEEEEEEIIIIIITTTTTT

I'm fucked now. I wanted to get my bike out of the garage so I could go for a nice ride around the lake. I had just found out the Dir en grey is doing another US tour this summer and I was super excited. But my bike was stuck in and the only way to get it out of the garage was to back out my dad's car, a honda CRV. Shaking with excitement over the Dir en grey news, I backed up the car. To avoid hitting the garbage cans, I turned to sharply and hit the side of the garage opening. No harm done, right? WRONG. I get out expecting to see a tiny smudge, but what I found was a huge dent, paint chipping off, and the bumper dislodged. I made this face:

I was going like 2 mph, WTF?! How could I do that much damage? Can't wait to get yelled at by my dad when he comes back from Europe tomorrow. FML oh and picture of damage:

Hey....FUCK YOU...

I started driving with an instructor today. I can't get my license until I have 12 hours with the guy because "DERP I WON'T LET YOU CAUSE YOU NEED PRACKTISE!" This was the most infuriating 2 hours of my life. I had to drive "his" way. Which is driving under the speed limit and pissing off everybody behind me. Also this guy had the break pedal on his side and insisted that I start stopping like a mile before the stop light. This also fucking pissed people off. I learned some useful tips, because I'm nowhere near perfect, but come on REALLY? I was being treated like a special needs kid.

Another big issue were the people TAILGATING me. I could see if I wasn't in a clearly labeled "Student Driver" car, but I had these motherfuckers all over my ass. It's not my fault they can't manage their time better. It's not my fault the instructor is telling me to "check my brakes" every five seconds when some car wants to make a right turn miles up ahead. If I wasn't in the car with this dude, I would be going faster. Sorry you can't get your latte NOW, you'll eventually get it, so stop being an impatient asshole.

LOOK AT THESE ASSHOLES
