First off, I must wish everyone a Happy Shark Week. A glorious week, truly. This and the week March Madness starts are the best of the year.

It’s been forever since I’ve blogged. That has been due to a few reasons. First and the largest, summer classes. Damn physics. This is also most of the reason I’m so pissed off. I busted my ass in that class. I never missed a day, I made sure to take detailed notes, I read the book and did practice problems (even if they took me like two hours a piece), and I did all the homework. Yet I ended up getting a D in the class. I needed a C. I’ve been at this college thing for some time now. I’m going to be a senior. I’ve been taking full loads during the regular school year, and every summer picking up two classes at community college. Oh, I forgot to point that out. Along with having to take stupid physics, it filled up at the community college near me, so I had to take two damn buses, a half hour ride each way, to a community college that was far away from where I live. And the instructor sucked. I went to him a couple times to try and get helped, it was pointless. He didn’t explain any problems worth shit, just did them, didn’t explain the method. Plus whenever he taught he would skip around with problems and half the time didn’t even get the right answer when he was doing a problem on the board. Then when the quizzes and exams came the problems would be ridiculously long and complicated, and often they weren’t even like the problems in the book. The damn quizzes before labs, which were only a couple questions, ended up taking like a half hour to complete. Anyway, my point of all of this was that I now don’t get to graduate on time, after all the work I’ve been putting into school. It seriously pisses me off.

Yet another one?
Posted by Amber on February 19th, 2011
Filed under: Anime,General,Manga,School

Since I’m not sure when the last time I made a non-basketball related post was, I’ll do one now.

School is school, I will say that. I’m killing myself for school, but it’s not giving back. A couple weeks ago I probably put in close to 30 hours of studying within a week of my cell biology test. I was freaking out before I got to it, knowing I was going to fail. I get there, get the test, and I didn’t think it was that bad. I was expecting a C, a D at the worst. Ending up getting a 39. I’ve been busy with other classes, so I haven’t had time to look at the answer key they posted, but I’m kind of hating myself for not writing in pen. Had I written in pen I could have petitioned for a regrade. My reasoning for why I think I had points taken off when I shouldn’t have is because they grades around 150 tests, 6 pages all hand written answers, within 6 hours of the test being taken. I have trouble believing they really took their time to look over them carefully. But I’m stuck with that damn grade for that stupid class.

The virology test I did the worst I was expecting. I was expecting a low B or C. I ended up getting a low C. It’s passing, but not what I wanted. So I’m going to have to figure out how to put more effort into that class.

My first Japanese chapter test I got a high C. I didn’t like it, the past two semesters I never got below a B. I have the 2nd on Monday, then my midterm oral sometime this week and the written midterm the next Monday.

My stupid INDV test…that was a fun day. I get to the bus stop, and something that never happens at that time of day happens- both spots on the bike rack are full. I needed to take my bike that day or I wouldn’t be able to get to classes in time. So I decided to wait for the next bus, since it would get me there about 10 minutes before class started, so I could get to the room about 5 minutes before the exam started. Well, something that has never ever happened in the many months I’ve been taking my bike on the bus- this rack is full as well. So I’m there, a few miles off of campus, with a test that starts in 20 minutes. The next bus comes in a half hour. So what do I do? I get on my bike and I pedal my ass off. I was about to give up about a mile in (I’m not in the best shape, but I’m not in the worst shape either. You try biking 3.5 miles up and down hilly streets), but there was no way I was going to miss the easy A test, so I kept going. With lights and everything I made it a couple minutes late, so I probably biked it in about 15 minutes. I got there and collapsed into my seat. The entire test I was having trouble because my hand was shaking from exhaustion. Wasn’t a fun day. Haven’t gotten the score back yet.

I have tons of exams before spring break, but my next big one is microbial physiology. I can get an A on it. This professor, although a pompous ass, isn’t a complete asshole. There aren’t going to be any curve balls or trick questions. It’s very straightforward, so as long as I know the material front and back that we’ve gone over in class that A is mine.

K-ON! and Occult
Posted by Amber on September 13th, 2010
Filed under: Anime,Manga

This post will be mostly if not all anime/manga related. I was feeling rather sad today when I read the last chapter of K-ON!, and then thought how it’s turning into another FMA with the manga ending and the anime ending very soon. Then I watched episode 11 of Occult Academy and it made me happier. It won’t be much, but I’m going to put my thoughts behind a cut since I don’t want to spoil any of it for anyone for hasn’t watched/read what I write of.

The boredom!
Posted by Amber on February 19th, 2010
Filed under: General

So…BORED! I don’t know how long it has been since I’ve been this bored!! I don’t know what to do right now. I was good and did my Japanese stuff like way early. Okay, not way early, but last time I did it on Sunday afternoon, this time I did it Friday evening. I think that’s a lot earlier. And then I’ve been playing Pokemon Yellow for a few hours tonight. I was wondering why the hell Sabrina’s pokemon were all at level 50 when I didn’t have a single one at level 40 yet, thus being unable to see how I was expected to beat her. Well, I then figured out after finally beating her (on the sixth try) that it’s because I forgot to go to Fuchsia City first and fight Koga. Not my fault, they make Saffron City right next to Celadon, where I battled right before. But oh well, I have that MarshBadge. Now I need to go fight Koga for the SoulBadge, and then I’ll try to remember where you get the Surf HM from and go for badge seven.

Damn mornings
Posted by Amber on February 15th, 2010
Filed under: General

It’s actually not morning, it’s almost ten at night, and I’m going to go to bed very soon, because I’m tired. Because it’s yet another one of my 8AM days. And I was good, I got up even though it’s a holiday and most schools have it off except universities. I went to class even though the professor wasn’t there today nor is she going to be there Wednesday and so a grad student was lecturing. I wasn’t like half 1/3 of the class (possible more? It was pretty empty) who decided to skip. I went. I didn’t fall asleep in class. Then I went to another class. And I had a small break, during which I studied for Japanese. And then I went to class again, and sat by these really annoying people who don’t know how to shut the hell up. And then I went to Japanese, and then I came back to the dorm. And I only messed around on the computer for like 15 minutes. And then I played Wii for like ten minutes. And then I actually got started on school stuff. I tried the chapter four quiz for o-chem, even though we haven’t gone over all the stuff. And hopefully I can find the motivation to go in Wednesday to the TA hours so I can get the answers to the quiz. And then I watched one episode of anime, and then ate dinner (which I will get to later) and then I took a small break and played Pokemon Yellow, and then I got bored with that and finished reading volume 17 of FMA because I’ve been on it for weeks, and then I started working on my lab report, and I finished it. I usually don’t even start lab reports until the night before, but I’m all done with this one and it isn’t due until Thursday morning. I even got started on my second one and hopefully will find the motivation to finish it this week so I can get it done with.

Should I could today as productive?
Posted by Amber on January 18th, 2010
Filed under: School

I don’t really know if I should today is productive or not. I did about a hour and a half of Wii Fit, bringing me to thirteen hours total. Apparently, as I found out yesterday, when you reach ten hours the piggy bank that keeps your time turns bronze. I’m guessing it takes ten hours to change it again, but I won’t know until I actually reach that point. I probably did like eight hours over the three day weekend, which wasn’t too bad. I’m not sure if it’s helping me lose too much weight, a bit maybe, but with the yoga helping with my flexibility and balance and I’m definitely gaining more muscle. So if I don’t end up losing that much weigh in the end, my guess would be it’s because of muscle I’ve gained.

Yay!
Posted by Amber on November 11th, 2009
Filed under: General

So yay, one of my dragons finally grew up! So since it is possible for me to not fail at it, I got another egg. My other two dragons have clicks/views/unique views very close to the one who grew up, so I think they should grow up at some point in the next couple days.

Today has kind of messed me up. I keep thinking tomorrow I have microbiology lab, but I have chem lab. That’s because I keep thinking today is Sunday, not Wednesday. What also is messing me up is that the sun is setting so early now. I walked over to Boston Market around 4:50, got back around 5:10. I think the sun was already down by time I finished eating, around 5:50 or so, or whenever I looked out the window again. I thought it was a lot later than it was, and I was freaking out because I still haven’t started my lab report that’s due tomorrow. But in reality it’s not even seven yet.

I like it how I turn out to be right
Posted by Amber on September 14th, 2009
Filed under: School

I won’t go completely into detail about why the title is true, but I’ll talk about school related stuff, kind of. So it’s taking forever for chapter 99 and episode 23 to come out, and I told myself that my week was going to suck until I read/watched those two things respectively. Well, it turned out true. I can’t completely remember everything, I can’t really remember much before noon, or before my last class. Let’s see, the most recent thing is I missed the first pre-pharmacy club meeting. I had it written down on my board, and I remembered this afternoon between classes. I was going to write a note on my computer so I wouldn’t forget, but I figured I wouldn’t. But two hours after it ended it dawned upon me that I missed it. And I was pissed. But I blame it on laundry. Sad thing is even looked at the time on my phone right when it said five and didn’t remember. Yeah, the laundry. So I went up to do laundry since I have Astronomy Club meeting tomorrow after classes so I wouldn’t be able to do it until later(and apparently I’m too lazy to do it in the morning, which I did last year and it was pure bliss because I was the only one doing it at the time) and it was pretty full. There were two washers open so I put my laundry in, and went back after approximately 35 minutes, although it takes 38 minutes but I went early in case someone else needed to use the washer. Well I went in and it was stuck 10 minutes. So I went to check it, then pushed the cycle I wanted again like it said to. Five minutes later it was still at ten minutes, so I checked to make sure it was mine (I have no clue why I did that) and then pushed it again. And I stood there this time waiting and it was still at ten minuted. I had no clue what the hell was wrong, but after about twenty minutes in the laundry room I got it to work, so then I had to stand there and wait for the ten minutes. And by that time all the dryers were full, but luckily one was done so I just put the blanket that was in it on top and put my stuff in. Then I came back to the dorm, then went back up to get it. There was nine minutes left. I stood there for a couple minutes, but then I was just sick of being in the hot laundry room, so I stopped it with seven minutes left and came back and was done with it. Except when putting it away I noticed the one pair of underwear I had in there was missing. So now I’m slightly paranoid and thinking that the reason my laundry was stuck at 10 minutes was because someone went in and took them and then didn’t close the door correctly when they opened it back up. I have no other explanation for it. And it was a pair I like. Luckily I only threw one thing in there. I’m pissed though. And also when I was walking back down after getting my laundry in the dryer (it actually happened as I was walking out of the laundry room) my stupid flip flop broke. I just starting wearing them too, because my blue ones have been worn so much there is nearly a hole in the sole. I experienced how bad this is because I nearly burned my feet walking back to the dorm Friday afternoon. I think I’ll just keep wearing them anyway since my grey ones are done, since I ride my bike nearly all the time. I swear something happened with the bike too today but I just can’t remember.

Crap, my roommate is sick. She’s been throwing up all day, and then this evening she said she was better but she ended up throwing up again. I seriously hope she’s done, I do not need to get sick, especially vomiting. To be safe I took Lysol to the entire room when she went out for a bit. I really should do it again, she probably wouldn’t mind since I don’t want to get sick. I should talk to her about keeping the AC on as much as possible to, since it helps to keep bacteria count down. If only she’d learn to follow my lead of being a germaphob then this wouldn’t have happened to her. Whenever I get to class I always use antibacterial hand spray before messing with my stuff, because I have no clue who might have touched those door handles, and when I get back to the dorm I wash my hand very thoroughly before doing anything else. And then every now and then I take Lysol and antibacterial wipes to everything I can think of, usually just everything we both touch and then my keys and keyboard. Gah, I feel the need to spray right now!! But I will resist the urge.

I feel as if I almost need help
Posted by Amber on August 26th, 2009
Filed under: Anime

I really shouldn’t be doing this right now because I still have Italian homework to do and probably something else as well and I actually have an early class tomorrow. Stupid chem lab.

But I feel I need to address this somewhere. My obsession with Fullmetal Alchemist. I’ve been really down ever since this Sunday, when there was no new episode of FMA: B. I’ve found myself staring at my FMA walls scroll when I should be reading my microbiology book, or anytime I should be doing something else. And when chem has me stressed (which has happened a couple times in the first few days of school, and will undoubtedly happen MANY more times) I turn to FMA. I’m amazed I’m not watching the first series at this very moment, or turned to it at all this week. I’ve said many a time before (although maybe not specifically to anyone) that I’m a flippin FMA whore. It’s bad. I either need people to discuss it with or something, because I feel like keeping all my love for FMA in is going to make me burst, or do something crazy. I dunno. I don’t know if I want to even get into what I’d do or let happen to me if I could ever enter into the FMA world (which I believe might be a possiblity. The issue is finding and getting through to the other side of the gate fairly intact, because I wouldn’t mind a piece of automail. Except the pain of the surgery, that would hurt.) I’d be worried if someone who knows me actually saw this. With the exception of Megan of course, because I’m sure she has some freakish obsession like I do. So for now I’ll leave most of it in my head, because it’s probably safest there.
