Woe is Me in Chemistry

My Chemistry teacher isn't the greatest of teachers and I don't really learn anything sitting through her lectures. I haven't gotten to the point where I actually skip class entirely but instead I've done other things to keep my occupied. So, I've tried learning how to spin a pen on my finger, learning the magic fingers a la Tony Tran, and writing with my left hand trying in hopes of become ambidextrous (even though it takes a lot longer to write with my left hand). Anyways, I don't know why I'm still up. I have my Engineering class at 7am and 2nd Chemistry Exam in 11 hours. Anyways, by the end of the quarter, I will hopefully learn these while sitting through Chemistry.

Vegetarianism

Hmmmm, I'm writing a paper on vegetarianism right now and I googled the positives and negatives for vegetarianism. For some reason I found the "it tastes good" argument for meat funny. But I agree, it tastes good.

Yahoo answers: 
"1) we have a natural desire to eat meat - we've been doing it since the dawn of man
2) our bodies are designed to eat and digest meat
3) meat tastes ******* nice
4) meat is a good source of protein and other nutrients
5) i see no moral reason to stop eating meat. animals kill other animals. we're an animal; don't delude yourself. it's called the food chain
6) the slaughter of animals keeps them from over-populating
7) which in turn can do damage to the environment i.e. high methane levels
8) if everyone was vegetarian farmers and shops would lose money, go out of business, plus everybody would be unhappy on such tasteless diets :(
9) just to reiterate, it tastes damn good. i'd rather live to 80 and eat a lot of tasty meaty meals than live to 85 and eat rabbit food"

That feeling

Have you ever had that feeling when taking a test? You do fine on the first page, turn to the next, and have no idea how to do any of it? Happened to me in chem. I tore through the first page but when I turned to the second I had no idea how to do any of it. All of the questions used one formula and I didn't remember it. Worst part is that the first page was 10 points and the second page was 30 points. Oh well, 6 more weeks of this teacher. Time to hit the books.

Proof of my laziness

The other week I was doing laundry and I was putting my clothes into the dryer. I noticed that I forgot to bring fabric softener with me and was too lazy to go up three flights of stairs back to my room to grab one. So I stood there a second and thought about what I should do. Looking around I saw some on the ground and thought to myself, "I guess I could use this." I picked up the one that looked the most unused but there ended up to be hella dust on it. So I just picked up another one and stuck it in the dryer. haha
