soundtrack: vannesa carlton: ordinary day

umbc is crazy. i was supposed to meet a friend in the morning (yesterday), but i was running late and i ran even later because it took 1/2 hour just to find parking; that's one thing i'm not going to enjoy about commuting.

i seriously thought that i wouldn't start biochem lab yesterday; usually they start labs the week after. so i did the stuff i needed to do, met crispy in the library, went to the commons to eat (thanks crispy) and just ran into everybody. but i started to get a nagging feeling, so i went to the chem office and lo and behold, lab class was today. ugh. i just wasn't ready for something so intense on the first day. well, i reasoned that we would only do roll call and end early. %$#@! after two hours of talk and checking out drawers, we went to the library and learned how to look up scientific papers, cos we're gonna anaylze alot this semester. started @ 2 and finished @ 5.30, a 1/2 hour before lab technically ends. it's like analytical chem and immunology combined. my head is swimming already.

(funny side story: we were getting and checking out our drawers that have the equipment that we will be using this semester for lab. anyways, stickers with names of previous users were on the drawers. original noticed the name on mine, "look, you have JK's old drawer." i grimaced inwardly, but i guess JK's old roommates noticed because they gave me a surprised look. somebody up there is laughing. very, very funny).

after class, crispy, veen and i went to columbia mall to hang but only had enough time to get dinner. i thought the rain would let up later in the evening (it had been raining all day; it's still raining now) but it only seemed to get worse. i had to go home.

right now, i'm doing laundry. have class today; going up to school a little later. i know we have a drought, but this rain is really getting on my nerves. stop raining! blah, blah, blah. be prepared for the blah. better blah maybe later.

peace.
