And there shall be a time of rest...

First, I must say that Fridays rule! Seriously, after having my lazy day of the week, I've actually gotten some stuff done again, which always makes me feel better. My house was clean, at least before the mage game came over, and I'll fix it again tonight (at least until forsaken comes over on Sunday). I did my organic test, and it only took 2 1/2 hrs, when they usually take closer to 3 hours :-) I have this horrible habit of jinxing myself when it comes to tests, so I'm not going to say I did well, 'cause then I'll fail it, but I don't think I failed it, so that's good for now. I've also discovered that I actually quite enjoy retro-synthetic analasis, even if I can't spell it :P It's like my Geometry class (a hundred years ago), where I can take 15 different paths to get to the same spot. I always did enjoy puzzles with more than one right answer. However, I think I like the theoretical side of o-chem much more than I'd like the lab work involved, as I truly HATE sitting there for hours waiting for reactions to complete!

I also went over my genetics test, since the answer key was posted, and realized that I would have done much better if I had ignored the teacher about one of the questions. I had the right answer written down, but during the test the male prof "clarified" a question for us by saying the question was asking about the female's parents. Since that wasn't at all what the question was asking (and wasn't what I had originally put down), when I changed my answer to go with the new information, I got it wrong, which cost my 9 points that I would have otherwise had. *sigh* So, now that I've both figured out the problem, and had my mini-rant about it, I feel better. I'll just ignore any future "clarifications", and go with what the question is asking :-)

As far as evolution goes, I have a meeting on Tuesday with that prof to see what type of answers she was looking for so I'll know how to properly answer her questions on the next test, which should help.

In fact, these last few days have just been really good in general for me! I went to my endocrinologist (sp?) on Thursday. First, the receptionist didn't recognize me. Then, the doctor thought the weights listed were wrong, since I've lost another 25 lbs since the last visit in Oct, bringing my weight loss total to 50 lbs. Damn but it's good to have my hormones back on track; I had known that something was wrong when I wasn't able to get my weight under control, but when every doctor you see for 7 years can't find anything, you start to wonder. Not anymore though! My weight-loss has slowed some, but I'm still losing it (without starving myself), and I think I've backed up about 2 years at this point. Of course, my on-going addition to DDR is helping as well :-) My co-workers think I'm crazy, I swear, because as soon as one of the DDR songs comes on, I start dancing in my chair. But hey, at least it's a fun way to exercise!

Work has at last picked up some, so I'm not sitting here bored out of my mind, which is great! One of the reasons I liked this job in the first place is because if I'm not multi-tasking, I feel like I'm not doing anything, and I stop pushing myself as hard, so now that our button is back on the main page, and I'm back to having 20-30 chats a day, I'm getting stuff done again.

Now if it would only stop snowing and let spring come, life would be perfect! Stupid f*$%&*@# white s&^#!!!!!
