I finally just pledged some cash to WTMD, our local actually good radio station. For a long time I thought “why even try when I can get exactly what I want, when I want it, now? Why bother when the radio can play ten things I don’t like first? But this past week they have […]

This evening I drove up to the local Chipotle and saw this. I don’t know, maybe something shorted out inside the sign. But it looks like it exploded. Likely it is old news, as I don’t get down that way very often! In other news, which you probably know from other sources, I slam-dunked the […]

I got a letter from the Office of Admissions and Advising at Howard Community College! I think the thin letter/thick letter thing kind of doesn’t count when you are applying to Nursing shool at community college, but I can’t tell you for sure, because I only got a thin letter. It goes something like this: […]

Question 25 bested me with semantics: “List all the possible [emphasis mine] subshells of the 5th shell of an atom” with the options I couldn’t decide between being: a) 5s 5p 5d 5f b) 5s 5p 5d 5f 5g So, does possible mean “hypothetical” in this context, or “actually possible”?

After what seemed like a very relaxing eternity, Chem 103 got into gear this week. Finally. I would never have thought this but I am really eager to get this show back on the road. I think… I am clinging to school a little as it makes me feel more like I have purpose. First […]

Acting like an adult reaps its damn benefits. That’s 3 prereqs down, and 2 to go. If I so choose, I’ll be applied and accepted or waitlisted (since I’m out of county) at HCC Nursing school by this time next year.

And lo there was a rejoicing!! Our rude professor is now merely a figment of our memories! And, supposedly, I have learned the things I need to know about the various systems of the body. So to celebrate, I went to the Staples. And bought fountain pen refills. For the Parker Vector I found abandoned, […]

School report: It’s all over but the very quiet sweating and scan-tron bubble filling in. We had our last lab and lecture. We got to (heh) fill out our course evaluations. That took everyone quite a while. I am trying to let go and be relaxed about the end product. I do want an A […]

I got my letter from Howard CC that I’m enrolled. They make it super easy to figure out how to log in and register immediately. But now I’m faced with a choice, Chemistry in the spring or Microbiology? Whatever I don’t take in the spring I have to take in the summer, so I’m a […]
