I'm Car-less

So...the other day I came home early..didn't have class till 5:00 p.m. Figured I'd take a shower, study at home..and then go back to school. So..around 4:37 p.m. I got up, took my car keys headed downstairs to drive myself to schoool. Was pushing the remote key on the keychain thingy..and the lights of the car did not go on..So I thought shit I left my lights on...Went to the car opened it with the keys...checked to see if I had left the lights...but NOPE!

so....I think my car's battery has died :( Donno..will get it all fixed up tomorrow..as well as get the oil changed tomorrow...stinky stinky...friend of mine's husband said he'll come help me out...I'm ever so greatful to him and her! !

Must be a good thing..

Just been a weirdo lately. I found out that my teacher still doesn't like my grant after my second attempt of writing it. I have no clue what to do. Spoke to my family, and my sister thinks I should just finish what I wrote and turn it in. I think that's what I'll do. I'm ready to get the grade for it..icck, it can't be that bad! The only problem with my grant this time was that my teacher said he couldnt' see it be funded..well funded my butt. I could care less about funding..what matters to me now is that I just get the stupid thing done! As long as I can get a 12/25 on the grant, I'm good to go!! Still gonna work on it a lot though! I mean it's my first time writing it...he could be a bit easy on me to say the least!!!!

Cause of all this stress..and because of my qualifier coming up.I've lost most if not all of my apetite! I went around yesterday for 11 hours w/o food..and when I came home, I had no desire to eat!!! I have lost weight..I can feel it! Today I put on a sweater and skirt which I've had since I was 19/20..which was about 5 years ago..haha, and oddly enough it still fits me like it did 5 years ago! So I guess it agrees with the post title..it's a good thing, err or a bad thing...mmmmm...I'm sure my body will realize something..it's thinking yep yep Anostica keep starving yourself..I'll show you!!! hahaha, I'm gonna conserve any shit you eat now..so I can save it all into fat!! Go ahead...Yah I'm talking to myself..or am I? ;)

Lastly..I joined the lab of my choice. Was googling myself the other day...and am already listed on the professor's website as a lab member! The lab is daaamn huge! It feels good to have a home now...this whole year I was home-less, going from one lab to the next doing rotations...now I've got a home..and a group of people who I'll see and work with for a looong time!

Okay back to work!! Wish me luck y'all

A teacher's disorganization

Why must a teacher's disorganization ruin a student's life? Yah, I feel that way. Idiot professor of mine who could have told me that my grant wasn't going to work..didn't. Now I find out about 3 weeks later. Yah I have all the time in the world. It's 2:10 a.m. and I'm high on Coffee. Just got done doing one problem on my take home exam, and just figured I'd start out on the grant again. I have a feeling that whatever I write will not be good enough. I'm so mad at this professor. I'm trying to work work work...but it's hard to forget that the idiot professor could have been a bit smarter and told me to fix things from the start :(

What will I do!!!

I got an announcement letter from the biology department today. Yes it's Purdue's way of not having to print stuff; they just send us the pdf files through e-mail. I usually never open them, but I did today. It was for the 2004-2005 awards for the biology dept. All the professors who had won stuff will be recognized tomorrow. All the grad students who won fellowships will be recognized. I won a fellowship too. Soo....I guess I gotta go to a reception tomorrow after class, and be in a room with all the professors, and then get a certificate or a picture taken..or something and be recognized. Icck..I'm already freaking out about it. I don't know what I'll do. In such a large group setting...with all those professors. Icck! Err...hopefully they have free food, and some of my friends show up..to ease my tension!!! ;)

I'm so Disgusted!

I'm so disgusted at the fact that I cannot figure out a topic for my grant proposal. Whatever I had written before was not good enough and my teacher basically told me to start over! He could have told me that 3 weeks ago, but rather decided to tell me now! Now I am head over heels with so much to do..and literally have no route to turn to figure things out :(

First time in ages!

I woke up early today..and it's a saturday! I had a ton to do, so I set my alarm clock and woke up..now I'm at school trying to figure something out for my grant proposal :( Really does suck. The one I wrote..my teacher did not like it; he said it wasn't biologically related, and it was too much of biochemistry. Idiot..I'm so mad at him! No clue what I'm gonna do..........................................................

What's with the young kids?

So I was in the computer lab the other day..working on a huge assignment. Must have spent about 4 hours in there. Saw quite a few students and groups of students come in to work on group assignments. Just found it oddly funny..and realized how "old aged" I am. While me and my age classmates would use e-mail to send ourselves our assignments, or possibly use a USB drive..these newbies use MSN. I saw more than 7 kids in the lab, ask for each others' msn nicks so that they could send the file over...Never have I EVER done that with my classmates.

Even amongst my age group..I'm one of the few who uses msn, or yahoo messenger..most don't use it, or don't know it. But kids these days (yes I call them kids) use those things left and right...weirrdd..

I'm roasting!!!

This place's weather sucks! I mean it sucks more than suck! I hate it! What kind of a place has 91 degrees at about 11:30 a.m.???? Yah west lafayette. I was roasting all day today!!! I called home and my mom said it was about 60 something in MN...

I sure hope that this hottyness is only for a short time..and is NOT really how this place is..if it is, I might have to consider moving :P

Not a Fruit Eater..

Just noticing my roommate and how much she loves fruits! Then there's me, who will buy fruit and then never eat them..and watch them rot in the apartment. Roommate and I were discussing our favorite fruits...I only had two-those being Mangos and Watermelons. The most disgusting fruits for me, are apples, and cherries..

I donno why I don't eat fruits..they don't really make me want to eat them. Suppose it's because you never know which one will be sweet or bitter...and I hate risking it. Also, I hate peeling fruits, and preparing them to eat...too much work! :P

My forehead must say "come and spill"...

I donno, it's happened to me twice in the last 2 weeks! I've had two undergrads come up to me and just spill about the worries in their lives. I only know these undergrads from seeing them in my classes, and have said hi to them maybe once...but they feel that I am worthy enough to hear all their worries. Yes and both of them have cried in front of me. And I've spent about an hour or so listening to each of them.

I guess I don't mind listening and hearing people's problems...in fact if it makes them feel better, I'll listen. There are times I do get annoyed....which is when I have my own probs, and don't have time for other peoples' probs :( Gosh..it made me feel bad for this girl today..I knew she was gonna cry any minute...but she still walked up to me..spoke and there she went. Same with the person last week...same same same!!!!

I hope that with me talking to them..I made them feel better, if any..

Never bought something sooo fast!

soo...I'm working on a presentation today..what else is new? Seems to me that I'm always giving or listening to a damn presentation. Why don't they just stick me in a lab and let me work for a change? I'm sick of sitting on chairs/behind desks and listening, or wasting time making presentations dammit!

Anyways, not the point of this blog...I was working on this presentation. Needed to look up some term I had no clue about. Googled it,and found it..on my way to finding it..ran into a website. It was selling some cool stuff! I like this mug they had..called the pessimistic mug....never have I ever done this sooo fast--ONLINE! But Yes I bought the thing...ohh..I can't wait to get it in the mail soon! Maybe I'm experiencing shopping withdrawl..I haven't shopped in a while!!!!!!

ok ok..here's the link to the cool mug: http://despair.com/pessimistmug.html

The mug depicts how I usually am! ;)

I'm in!!

So...after 4 lab rotations this year which ended yesterday..I finally made the conclusion of which lab I would join. I spoke to the prof of the lab on thursday and he took me!! So yes I'm in! had to say it...

grrr..this is sounding like a journal now..I'll write more of things I notice next time I notice something interesting :P

Just one of those days!

It's just one of those days..when it's so nice outside that you don't want to sit inside and think of homework. It's one of those days, that I am too sluggish to sit up and perform mentally. I feel as if I should just keep napping. I've got no energy!! Why why why? Because it's the weather change..whatever it is, I'm sick of being affected by it all :( School stinks!

There's no such thing as late night anymore!

You know you are a late night sleeper when you hear the birds chirping up at night and you are still up doing something which is obviously more important than sleeping. I have heard the birds quite a few times now...

Sleeping off the night is stupid really..I'm most productive at night anyways.. ;) Enough said...Can't believe I woke up so early today! It's a sunday! Brother and sister decided to keep calling my cell phone..so I woke up at 11 a.m.! Yah..that's only about 6 hours of sleep for me..guess I'll stay up and get some work done..
