The only thing I've managed to learn in Bio so far this quarter is that every protein is a giant cluster-fuck that I can only barely begin to understand.

*sob*

I could have lived a long and happy life not knowing that some people have videotaped their plastic surgeries and presented them as performance art. Repeatedly >:\

This is the sort of shit I'm learning in my classes this quarter, by the way, just so you know.

Having just finished playing Persona 3, I have to confess that ( this gave me a minor heart attack. )

So I somehow ended up as the VP of one of the clubs here, and it turns out now that we have an LJ comm. And, of course, I'm the only one of the current staff with an LJ.

So I guess I'm a mod now :\

...

I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing -_-;;

Day before Halloween or not, it is never a good sign for your teacher to walk in on test day dressed as Severus motherfucking Snape.

By the way, I either passed that test like a creative genius, or I failed really hard in new and inventive ways. Just sayin'. There is no safe and wonderful middle ground.


Also, as I was walking home, a banana ran past me. It was being chased by a monkey.

If this is All Hallows' Eve, I'm sorta worried to see what tomorrow will be like.

Today I discovered that the sorrow of finding out that you didn't do as well on a test as you could have because you screwed up on a problem you should have known how to do can be very nicely offset by watching your teacher go into a meltdown over the mistakes your classmates made.

It was about the point where he said "And the force tension? Force tension equals YOUR MOTHER" when I started to wonder if maybe we broke him.

It seems my immune system is very, very American. Little thing like the common cold? Fuck that, not worth its time. Giant enemy that everyone's freaking out about like, say, H1N1? ROLL OUT THE FUCKING TANKS, THAT THING'S NOT STAYIN' FOR LONG.

By which I mean that I think my little shitty immune system kicked the swine flu in the balls, because if my fever broke when I think it did, then I technically only had the flu for a little over 24 hours.

The recovery time is supposed to be four days. Not including the 24 hours you have to wait to see whether your fever comes back when you go off of fever-reducing medications.

By which I mean, if I hadn't taken Tylenol for the pain, I could have been considered all better well enough for classes at a) 9:30 last night or b) 9:30 this morning. As it is, I need to wait until four this afternoon because of technicalities.

I'm still going to have to carry around hand sanitizer, which sucks because the stuff I have smells like ass, and I'm going to be spending a small fortune on cough drops, but. Uh. Better than going through more of what Tuesday was like, really.

Should I get one of those face masks, or do you think it'll be fine?


I love my immune system?

Guess who has the flu. Go on. Guess.

Depending on which of the people at the Student Health Services you talk to, I either have the seasonal flu, some other flu that wasn't covered in the seasonal flu vaccine, or H1N1. If it is that last one, the nurse I talked to is being remarkably chill about the whole thing and was basically just like "LOL don't get anyone sick and come in if it gets worse, nothing else to do about it really :D "

So yeah.

Whatever the hell I have, though, it sucks majorly. I suspect it would suck far more if I didn't have Ibuprofen, which has managed to bring my temperature down to normal after it hit ONE HUNDRED ONE POINT EIGHT FRIKIN' DEGREES. Yeah, you read that right.

Also, Western's "sick meals" are... interesting; it's supposed to be a full day's worth of food, but there's only one drink and barely two meals included, so I'm not sure who approved that.

This has to be one of the weirdest warning labels I've ever seen on instant soup: "Do not heat unopened can for more than 3 days."


ETA: That 101.8 has been beaten out by 102.2, because I forgot to take more meds on time like the putz I am. Luckily, it has since dropped again because Ibuprofen and Tylenol are awesome.

Computer problems I've been having (current status):

• Quicktime X incompatibility, Quicktime 7 exploding, causing main movie player crash, iTunes crash, and RealPlayer crash; fixed.


• External HardDrive randomly ejecting from the computer for no reason; fixed, don't know how.


• Adium a.k.a. IM dieing, don't know why; fixed, don't know how, may have been reinstalling new OS update.


• School internet randomly deciding I'm not registered and making me do so again, only to give me an error saying I'm registered; fixed, not that I managed to find anything to do to try fixing it.

This was all accomplished in the last 24 hours, after almost two weeks of the problems persisting. With one exception (the Quicktime issue), I actually don't know how ANY of these started working again, but you know what they say about gift horses :|
