Life Lately

Has been full of Studying and Finishing off the school year

 Friday was our last day of classes, now I'm only 4 finals away from Summer! Woohoo!!

In honor of our last day of class, my bff Sarah and I had ordered Chemistry baseball t's to wear. Check these hot shirts out!

It says "Got Mole Problems? Call Avogadro" and then it has Avogadro's number on the bottom. 

Definitely nerdy.. but they were a hit in our Chemistry class.. and I think we rocked them.

And If you're wondering what the heck it means... Avogadro's number is the number of atoms in a mole of a substance. There! You learned something new! ;)

Then after class yesterday we went to see Water for Elephants to relieve some stress.

Holy smokes. What a GREAT movie! I read the book a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it, and the movie didn't disappoint! Robert Pattinson?! I swoooooon!!! He is so good looking, even MORE so without his white vampire make-up. I. Die.

So if you haven't seen Water for Elephants.. GO!!!

And now it's back to the books for me! I have 3 finals on Monday, and I prefer to study as little as possible on my Easter Sunday!

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter Sunday with your family!

Matthew 28:1-10
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."
So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."

I can't wait to catch up with everyone's blogs when I'm done on Wednesday!

nose in the books.

I'll be MIA the next few days..

It's our last week of classes.

Meaning I have a Lab Practical tomorrow, a massive Chemistry synthesis lab project due Friday, and an O-Chem & Bio test on Friday.

 

So this is what I'll look like all week:

and during the weekend too,

because I have 3 finals Monday, and a final Wednesday.

And I'd like to send my college a big THANK YOU for giving us finals the monday after easter. That just thrills me beyond end (note the sarcasm).

However, one week from tomorrow my summer will begin at approximately 11:00am, and I couldn't be more thrilled!

Don't forget about me! I promise to be back to blogging as soon as I can emerge from my piles of notes and books!

My Version of a Thursday Night.

Currently:

Taking a Study Break for My Sanity.

I can only handle looking at mechanisms of reactions for so long before I'm ready to pull my hair out.

I know this image makes you jealous of my fun Thursday night! ;)

I usually study in my room, or with my sweet O-Chem study buddies in one of our apartments.. but tonight I decided to hit up the library study rooms for some hardcore study time.

I'm not the best at studying, because I have trouble focusing.. I get easily distracted, hence the reason I'm writing a blog post right now. HOWEVER, I am a firm believer in taking periodic breaks because otherwise you get burnt out and "over study". This year I've studied more than I ever have since I've been taking O-Chem.. and I really love the class, but it really makes my brain a pile of mush by the time I finish my test!

What are y'alls study tips?

I would love to hear some.. because this test tomorrow is going to kick my tail!

I'll be MIA this week.

Sadly, I won't have much time to blog this week.

Because, this will be my view until Friday:

 

We have a massive Organic Chem II Exam Friday.

And I have a TON to study.

So send good vibes my way, because I'll definitely be needing them!

I hope to catch up on y'alls blogs as soon as the studying madness is over!

What else can go wrong?

This week has tried my patience. And sorry that this is going to be a major complaining vent session but it's one of those weeks. Let me start by saying, I have studied my behind off for a good 3 weeks now.. probably studied 100+ hours for my organic chem test, to the point that I've hardly even seen my roommates. I hired a tutor this go around and studied every night throughout so that I wouldn't be studying only for the last week of the test. I felt prepared. Thought I was going to straight up ROCK this test.

Well my professor Dan ,we like to call him by his first name, is a little trickster. He made that test so difficult that no one knew what the heck to do. I know organic is supposed to be one of the hardest classes you take, but I really don't want to sit through this very class 2 semesters in a row having to retake it. That messes with my plan. Well then after that dreadful test was over, I had to work on the LAB assignment for our lab we had 2 hours after the test. So I didn't get a mental break after he fried my brain. Well the lab turned out to be just as dreadful.

No one knew what in the world we were supposed to do, and then I FINALLY figured it out. Only 2 hours later at the completion of the lab my substance didn't look the way it was supposed to. Me and the lab assistant pondered it forever and he couldn't figure out what happened since I had done everything right. GRREEAT! So now I'm on the verge of tears and he says I have to start over. Are. You. Kidding?! Quick summary, I had to do it 3 times because mine kept doing weird stuff. I was THE last one to leave the Lab and at this point I had been doing chemistry from 9-6. Running off 5 hours of sleep.

Well as soon as I got back to my apartment I basically cried for a good hour. And then cleaned the bathroom because that is ONE thing I CAN seem to do right haha. Then this morning I woke up at 6:45 to get ready for my 8am Bio Lab.. hike 20 minutes up to the building sit there for a good 15 minutes and then find out lab was cancelled. What else can possibly go wrong with my week?! On a positive note. My weekend finally begins at 5:30 today. So I'm anxiously awaiting my afternoon classes so I can LEAVE and go HOME!! Sorry for complaining.. tomorrow I will post something happy.
