Apr. 30th, 2008 11:13 amAs of this moment in time, I can name and draw you the structures of all 20 amino acids. I probably won't be able to after Tuesday, but I can right now.
We had to learn them for Orgo, and so our extra credit quiz today was to identify ten of them. And I aced it. Because I know them ALL.
Of course, the real question is when will I need this information later on in life? I'll have to be in a situation where:
1. I need to know the name for a structure or the structure for a name of a mystery amino acid, and
2. Be unable to look it up somewhere.
When is that ever going to happen? I mean, it's not inconceivable, but it seems unlikely.
Although, now that I know them, I'm tempted to make sure I always remember them. Just so I can show off. We'll see how that goes.
P.S. It was snowing when I came out of class this morning. On April 30th.

Random Thoughts Flitting Through My Head
Jan. 2nd, 2008 01:54 am1. There are not words enough to describe how much I love snow.
2. I hate hormones. I've wanted to cry at the least provocation for the past three days. I should just watch Pan's Labyrinth again and get it out. (Seriously, I was reading on Wikipedia about Kagura dying in the Inuyasha manga and I got teary. It's ridiculous.)
3. Anyone who really wants to know me should look at my collection of Livejournal icons. They represent all of my interests, as well as my OCD, and their relative numbers are also telling. I have the most Harry Potter and Little Mermaid ones. In those, I have a shit-ton of Ariel and Ron icons. In those, I have the most from the penultimate scene in TLM, and A LOT of quotes by Ron.
My icon collection is the best representation of myself that I have, and I'm petrified of losing it.

Feb. 2nd, 2007 09:04 pmThis evening, since half my suite is off at ACTF (and that's not an exaggeration 4 of the 8 of us went to that), and Abby went home for the night, Sara, Nora, and I, the last 3 remaining suitemates (not counting pets), went out to dinner.
We went to The Rusty Scuffer (which is a great name) and I had lobster, and then we went to Hot Topic and I got Inuyasha pins (a chibi Sango and a regular-sized Kilala), and I am so very happy right now.
Eariler my mommy was here, and then Nora let me read Harry Potter out loud to her (and I love reading things out loud.... and Remus is fucking AWESOME as the DADA teacher) and it has just been such a good day. I even totally aced my chem quiz this morning.
My hands smell like lobster, and I so don't care. Cause it's snowing, and they still have all the lights on the trees on Church Street, and it was so beautiful, and I just feel all warm and happy inside.

Jan. 31st, 2007 11:45 amThere is no more simple and satisfying pleasure in the world than kicking chunks of snow down a sidewalk. When you get a really hefty kick behind one, and it lands dead center and send the snow skidding away down the sidewalk... Ahhhhhhhhhh.
Oh, also, today is National Gorilla Suit Day. (Thanks to![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
shadzane for pointing this out.) So someone tell me, did Peterson wear his?

Dec. 7th, 2006 11:43 pmAs though God himself condoned my reconciliation with Abby, while I was walking back from my Chem practical (which I aced, by the way) it snowed. The first substantial, sticking-around snow this year.
I wrote a fic about snow once. Maybe I'll dig that out and post it.

Feb. 26th, 2006 12:15 pmSo last night I went to Hooters for the first time.
Conclusions: I liked the shirts, the girls were... well qualified for their jobs, but the shorts were a definate turn-off. It was also very 80's, which is cool. Like, they had on leg warmers. (On very nice legs I might add.) And there were just as many famalies/girls there as there were guys oogling. It's exactly what they say, tacky, but it's not like porn or anything. And the food was good. Not like spectacular or anything, but better than the stuff I usually eat up here so I was happy.
This restaurant review brought to you by the snowstorm I had to drive through to get there.
Then I went to my very first college party. OMG.
Yes, people were drinking. No, I was not one of them. Even if I had wanted to, which I didn't, the meds I'm on say in big letters on the bottle "do not drink alcoholic bevergaes while taking this medication."
So it was loud and there were a lot of people, and Ashley and I spent a lot of time trying to avoid Julia, who was obviously drunk and apparantly lonely. And for some reason wanted Ashley.
But besides her, no one got really really drunk, so it was ok. After a couple hours all the obnoxious people left and only the cool theater people were left and we spent like two hours talking about theater and things that have gone wrong on and off stage. That was fun.
I got a hug from this guy Kevin (who was a bit drunk because he doesn't even know my name, I don't think) when he left and I realized that that's the most physical male contact I've had in like over a year. Not that that matters, but it was just an intereating relization.
I met all the girls I'm going to be living with in the suite next year, and they're all really cool. I'm excited. I hope we get it.
And then we told ghost stories and freaked Ashley out, and I got invited to go bowling today, but I can't go because I'm hosting a prospective student.
So I stayed out until at least 3:00am. I am awesome.
Now I have to go clean my room so miss prospective student doesn't think I am a total slob.
Muah!
