He has the cancer.

I just got GTA: Vice City. I think I'm going to play it now.

I can't concentrate. Could I be pregnant?

I'm locked out of the room where I usually work on things for nerd class during my prep, so now I'm in the library. I just saw two people race each other with computer wheely chairs, and when they neared the finish line they grabbed on to each other, causing one guy to lean too far forward and fall face down on the group.

There are only about four more hours before a three day weekend that I will spend studying for finals that may or may not matter. Time to go through what I have to do before I forget it forever.

B. Finish genocide project. Incorporate what Jared emailed me into a power point presentation (which shall now be referred to as p cubed, or just p3...no, p cubed sounds better)
D. No.
A. Wake up on wednesday.
C. Review for math final.
G. Review for physics final.
E. Write short essay for mythology and review for final.
F. Review for nerd final (panic).

I have finished four out of the six projects. The two that I did not finish were not due this week. One of these two is the Rube Goldberg machine, in which my group is constructing the last part of our class's Rube Goldberg machine. Let me explain so that it will be impossible to imagine:

A large marble, which is set in motion by the previous group's fan that pulls a string downward creating a sloping ramp in front of the marble, travels down a series of ramps, which slope back and forth down a large piece of wood. When the marble reaches the bottom, it lands on top of a tennis ball container, which has another ball lodged into it. The moment the marble touches the top of the tennis ball container, the ball that is half inside of it, which has a string attached to it, drops and pulls on the string that pulls the switch of a motorized boat, which is sitting in a long, narrow styrofoam container filled with water. The ball continues to fall and the string is cut with a razor so that the ball is not longer attached to the string and thus will not anchor the boat. The boat, which has a series of chopsticks pointing outward to one side, then lurches forward, travels through the artificial river, and its chopsticks knock a ball on a platform forward. The ball travels through a tube, hits an elastic surface, and flies backward into another tube. This tube has an index card taped to the end of it with a cherry sitting on the other side. When the ball hits the index card, it knocks the cherry into a sundae.

"Ha cha cha cha...delicious."

Paying money equals bad

I think I'm going to buy GTA: Vice City right after finals.

You must continue.

Does the Golden Rule (treat others the way you would like to be treated) count for masochists?

Winter break has abruptly ended. I didn't finish everything I planned to do over winter break and I still haven't. I don't care that much anymore though. I have to fully update my lab notebook for Biotech by Wednesday, but I am obligated to lend it to my lab partner (who does no notebook work on his own) so that he can use it (copy it I guess) to complete his own notebook. Aside from that, I have other assignments and projects that I've neglected.

Finals are the week after next week. The week before finals is SUPPOSED to be a "dead week" where there is no work due that is not related to finals. Yet "dead week" is always the busiest week of the year. But I've griped about that in previous posts (I think twice last year) so now it is time to evacuate.

Sic Semper Tyrannis!
