-Intro to Literature Paper? Handed in.

-Biology Final? Totally done.

-Spanish Final? Tomorrow at 1:00. Commencing studying v. v. soon. I swear.


I'm thinking studying/chilling outside in the sun... Yeah.
Ok, so there's this introduced toad species in Australia called cane toads. And they're poisonous, and they're a nusance, and they're wreaking havoc on the natural ecology, yadda yadda yadda, introduced species never work out blah blah blah, they didn't do what they were supposed to, blee.

But do you know what people do with these toads? They boil them and mash them up and roll them into joints and smoke them. Because the poison makes you high. And the drug official people of Australia had to outlaw drugs made out of toads. Humans never cease to amaze me.



And this is what I learned in Biology today, because my professor was off at the hospital with his wife who is having their baby. Awwwwwwwwwwww. :)




Oh, and also my egg... was supposed to hatch today...


Click here to adopt your own little monster!
Alan got laid. My boy is back.



P.S. I'm spazzing about my Bio test tomorrow... Why'd the Earth have to form anyways? And who cares when oxygen first became readily available in the atmosphere? (2.7 Billion years ago, I don't care but I have to know it...)

Ok, study and then sleep. That's the master plan. Wish me luck!
Remind me to be careful if I try to eat while re-reading Harry Potter books...

I almost choked on my salad on page 220.

"Harry sometimes had the horrible feeling that Snape could read minds."

Oh, ye of little occulmency...


In other dorky news, my Bio professor played us this song today called "We Come from Monkeys." He really reminds me of Mr. Hooker.

Then in Intro to Theater we were talking about how the young boys in Elizabethian theater played the female parts and were 'apprentices' and I was like "STOP IT BRAIN. NOT LIKE THAT."

Only it probably was exactly like that.


This is what happens when I read slash in the middle of the week. Heh.
Am back at school.

I don't want to go to class, and I have about a million things to sort out. Blech.

Plus my car is probably going to get towed.

But Cinzia bought me chocolate and we're doing evolution in Biology this semester, so it's not all bad news.


But anywho, Ozma was FUCKING AMAZING! They were all great, but especially Renee and Gerry and Becky. OMG.

And I love Josh Hock. He named Erin's boobs. Lucy and Ricky. Yeah.

So I'm going to go try not obsess and kill time now. Peace!

I promise I'm not procrastinating. (For once.) I finished my six page paper, and all I have to do elsewise is to study for Bio, which I have a natural proclivity for anyways. (Plus I studied last night. And the night before. Yay for Megan the Bio-dork!)

*does dance of pride*
Ok friends, Romans, countrymen, I need help. I wrote something, and I'm opening it up to a general friends-Beta. I'm going to post a question at the end that I need answered, but ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE READ THE ENTIRE FIC! (I don't want to bias your opinion.) Besides the question, all other comments and criticisims are welcome. (Except blatant flames, but I trust you all enough to not do that.)

Yes it's Harry Potter, and Remus/Sirius, (shocking I know) but there's nothing bad in it (Rated G) and it's still worth the read. UNLESS YOU HAVE NOT READ BOOK FIVE IN WHICH CASE THERE ARE SPOILERS HERE DON'T READ THIS.

So here you go.

I think the title right now is Back in Business, but I don't really like that so feel free to suggest another one. )

P.S. If you haven't read book five, SHAME THE HELL ON YOU! Do it, you know you want to. All the cool kids have.
You know what I love? Playing my clarinet. I'm such a freaking dork.

But this is my ninth year playing it, and I always forget how much I love it. It's a skill I have, it's a part of me, and yet I never list it as an interest or a hobby or a part of my personality when I describe myself.

But it is. It's part of me. I like playing it. It's fun. And I'm not very good and it makes my thumb hurt something awful but I still like it.

Just thought I'd get that out there.


Had the insane urge to walk up to Artie today while he was leaning casually against the wall and go, "Anyone ever tell you that you look incredibly hot when you stand like that?" But then common sense kicked the crazy aliens out of my brain, and he'd changed postitions anyways.

Professor Lubkowitz: Sometimes, when you sit quitely, and your cells are replicating, you do hear the Bee-Gees. (Loooong story, but briefly he made an analogy between centromeres shooting out microtubules randomly and then retracting them and John Travolta's dance moves in Saturday Night Fever. Well I thought it was funny.)

Finally, I was feeling pervy when I uploaded my new icons. Heh.
10. Class goes from 8:30 to 9:20. I didn't have to pick up my pen to take notes today unitl five of nine.

9. He has substance! (Literally AND metaphorically.)

8. His favorite law is the Second Law of Thermodynamics

7. Whitman could learn a thing or two from him about how to properly make an analogy.

6. He told us why some leaves turn red and others yellow and others brown.

5. He reads us random and incredibly cool articles from science magazines every Wednesday.

4. He's a Star Wars fan.

3. His amusing family anecdotes. He has a three year old son. They're funny.

2. He gives us a quote every day. Quotes are love.

1. The man genuniely loves Biology. It brings him joy. He's practically giddy when he teaches.



Life is an attitude; have a good one!
I forgot to mention that I am now the proud owner of a very nice, very purple, very hot Inuyasha shirt from Hot Topic. Piccy! http://www.hottopic.com/store/product.asp?LS=0&ITEM=253840&RN=527 (That's not me, obviously, but it's the shirt.)

Do you know what it says on the tag? (Which is now taped to my wall becaue it has Inuyasha on it, and let's face it, he's hot.) It says "have a hardcore day."

I am wearing the shirt right now. I am having a hardcore day, even as I type. Don't beleive me? I'm listening to Green Day. If that's not hardcore then I don't know what is.

*Pretends she wasn't listening to Avril Lavigne about 10 minutes ago*

Oh come on. You know you all liked her at one time or another. I am not ashamed. But I had to stop, because she is not hardcore, and I am having a hardcore day.

Anyways, nothing happened today. Really. Not even in Great Russians. Well, ok something interesting was said in Biology, but no one but me seems to get a kick out of Professor Lubkowitz's words of wisdom, so I won't even bother posting them.

Time for procrastination now.

Have a hardcore day everyone!
Artie: What'd you get on that test?
Me: 98. You?
Him: Only an 89. *makes disappointed face*
Me: *dies at look on face* That's still good though.
Him: Yeah. But I really wanted to get an A.
Me: *dies again*
Him: I made a lot of stupid mistakes. If I had looked it over before I handed it in...
Me: Well it's only the first test. *is thinkning that he CARES that he got an 89, which is still a pretty good grade, when most people she has encountered would have been happy with a 70.*

Yeah. And then our hands brushed when we were passing the quizzes. *Is such a pathetic fangirl, deep, deep inside*

Heather, it's all good if Casey comes. Invite her!

Kelli, I don't suppose you'd want to come over Saturday night and watch Halloweentown? (Still have to ask Dad, but don't think it'll be a problem.)

Everyone else, Heather, Vanessa, and I are still the only confirmed movie goers for Sunday. Hoping for Jess, Kelli, Casey, and others I haven't called yet. The more the merrier!

You know you want to meet us at 12:30 and see The Corpse Bride. Don't deny it.
First big Biology Test = handed back today
Class average = 79.6
Megan's grade = 98
Professor Lubkowitz's comment on top of paper = Wow!

That's cause I'm awesome dude.

I may not be so hot in lab, but I'll be dammed if I've ever gotten less than an A on a Biology test or quiz.

This totally made my day.
There are 42 stairs up to my Biology lab.

It is a three hour lab.

A stressful, three hour lab.

Conclusion: I'm exhausted.


Also, there's this guy in my lab that I met last week named Eric. He struck me as sort of an outsider/geek. Skinniyish, average height, dark complexion. Smart, but not really interested in school. He told me he got like a 70-something on his lab and that was ok with him. But he does meticulous work. You know, a thinker. He kind of reminded me of Jim Watson when we used to have Chemistry together. Cool, laid back about science attitude. He told me he played frisbee. Not a real intense sport.

I happened to pass him a few nights ago on my way back to my dorm after dinner. I assume he'd been playing frisbee because he had one in his hand, and was shirtless/sweaty. Also in the presance of several other sweaty/frisbee men.

Holy Fuck. He has the perfect body. Muscles like you wouldn't believe. I almost literally stopped dead and oogled him. Recovered enough to smile back when he smiled in recognition.

Who would have thought?


P.S. I find it funny that I'm too short to see inside my mailbox unless I stand on my tip-toes. Heh.
Currently I am suprrssing the urge to skip/dance. Why am I in such a good mood? Dunno.

Had a good time in Biology...Artie laughed when I said we should get Proferssor Lubkowitz a neon pink eraser because he can never find his...something fell out of a tree and bonked me on the head...the sun is shining...the trees are shedding and I love Fall...they discriminate against the silverware here...something. I'm just happy person maybe?

Professor Lubkowitz Quotes:
Chlorine reacts the living Hell out of things!
*With an enormous smile on his face* I met these weatherguys...

And he abbreviated the word "potential" on the board as "pot" and underlined it three times. He couldn't figure out why we were all snickering. It's subliminal messaging, I say.

This kid came to class with his skateboard. As Heather once said, I wish I could be THAT cool.

I think it's a rule that all Biology teachers have to wear shoes incongrous to the rest of their outfits. Mr. Hooker used to wear sandals. Professor Lubkowitz wears battered sneakers. Biology people are weird.

I'm coming home Saturday! We're going to the fair Sunday. Who's coming?
Today I

1. Sat next to Artie from my orientation group in Biology, because he was the only person I recognized. (I swear it wasn't because he's incredibly attractive and I have an instant crush on him. Really.) And it gets better because we then had to partner up so I actually got to talk to him.

I heart Biology. Our professor is awesome like woah. (He's the same guy as my advisor I was squeeing about the other day.)

2. Said not a single word in Varieties of Christinity, but eh. I was the only one in class who had seen Raiders of the Lost Ark. I was like "Dude, not only have I seen it, but I have it in my dorm room."

3. Totally got scared by my first year seminar, Great Russians, because the teacher is Russian and she pauses so long while talking that I lose focus completely. It's awful. I simply cannot concertrate on her.

And I understand that English is her second language, but I just have issues with her already. But I have good hopes because it's more of a class discussion class than a lecture. And this guy Alex from my orientation group remembered my name and talked to me. Squee!

4. Did homework.

5. Had dinner at the President's house and sat next to his wife. (The first lady?)

It was a honors student thing. It was very very nice and Mrs. President is awesome and very refined and from Prague. Mr. President is from Belgium. Cool huh?

6. Watched Jeopardy! Yes I am a dork. And I like it that way. Abby and Courtney and Whitney and a few other girls and I are going to start a cross-stitch/knitting/crocheting/sewing circle instead of going out drinking. Yay us!

7. Wrote this entry.

8. Talked to Hannahmylove.

9. Was sad not to get any mail. HEY GUYS! SEND ME MAIL!

10. Looked at hilarious comics on livejournal. iharthdarth. Totally check them out!

Peace Out!
Oh my God, I just met with my Biology professor/advisor...

HE IS THE COOLEST GUY!

We learned as much about him in our meeting as we did about classes and biology.

He's like sort of young, and he has a three year old son named James Axel, (but he goes by Jax) and he just started reading The Magic of Myth by Joseph Campbell.

And and and he likes Star Wars! Yes, yes, my friends, as all good science teachers are, he is a dork. One of the names his wife vetoed for his son was Padawan.

He rides his bike around, and he sort of looks like Mr. French, but I think that's just because he's balding in the same pattern. Though he does remind me a lot of Mr. French.

It's also uber-cool that you can go to your advisor whenever and that people here actually CARE about you as a student and want you to do well. And this is why I picked a small school.

In short, Yay Biology!!!!!!!!!!

"Inch by inch life is a cinch, yard by yard life is hard."
M.Lubkowitz, Professorof Biology.

P.S. I feel like I'm at Hogwarts. Professors, dormitories, new people, lots of homework, big sporting fields; all I need is a pet owl and a trunk to put at the end of my bed.
