Crazy Lazy

  2005-03-19


I have been meaning to get to this for the longest time, but each time I get started writing something, I get distracted, and then go to bed. I have spent a good portion of this weekend being lazy and working on memorizing the needed biochemistry for Monday's midterm. I am not very close to where I need to be yet, but I think that after tomorrow, I should have a decent grasp on the material that is necessary for the exam. I have memorized the most relevant portions of the glycolytic pathway, and tomorrow I will go over more enzyme structures, like the protease, elastase. I have been busy trying to figure out what classes and courses I want to pursue next year, and even what university to take them at. It's quite the quandary, and I kinda hope I figure it out pretty soon. In addition, I am still trying to find work this summer and figure out where I am going to be working. I have worked out some general goals and directions, and now I have to chase those down. We'll see where it goes. I had lunch with the Dean of science on Tuesday. That was quite the interesting experience; I foudn it to be surprisingly helpful. I now know what the Faculty of Science is concerned with, where it is aware of its shortcomings, and information about those that graduate. In addition, the Dean is actually from a high school in New Jersey, so he had the same problems I did in making the transition. Amazing. It looks like a good friend of mine is going to spend the summer working up in Houghton, MI in the UP. I am disappointed that I won't see him, but I realize that he's got a really nice offer, so I wish him luck up there! Anyway, I'm off to bed...
