Yes, recently I was burnt 
I was innocently making a pot of soup when I stupidly thought that if I held the bowl such that my thum was in there, it wouldn’t reach my thumb. Oh yeah, it did. I was in sooo much pain all afternoon, and it NEVER subsided once. Even worse, the skin under my finger nail was burned so even if the skin exposed was ok, the skin underneath would still throb like a son-of-a-gun. Finally Phil came home with some solarcaine, and it instantly made it feel better. Theres no blister left, but I think my thumb is gearing up to peel, it does look that way.
So, I am right smack dab in the middle of lab finals. Well, more towards the end actually. I have written Sedimentology and Igenous so far. In sedimentology, I got the highest mark out of the whole class! And I also got the highest mark overall. Lord I am smart! Weird news is that the mark was a 75, which isn’t the greatest, but heck I’ll take it. Igneous went extremely well I think, accept now I am starting to doubt my answer for the first norite gabbro we looked at. Whatever, I know that I atleast got a 75, and that is what my labs are sitting at right now. I’m not doing the greatest in the class, so I’m hoping for an upper 70 in this class. I write paleontology tomorrow afternoon. I was supposed to study last night, but the strangest thing happened…..
I went to bed at 7 o’clock. Yeah, you heard me right.
I don’t know what happened! I came home, played on my computer, had some supper, watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (I almost cried when Cedric died. I’ve seen it like 8 times, and for some reason it wanted to make me cry this time), and then I went to go lay down. Well, I woke up and it was 2 in the morning, and all my clothes (save my underpants, MEGAN!) were off. I really haven’t the slightest clue as to what happened, but now I am running on a comfortable 12 hours of sleep. Wait, no, 13. I think it was because I was starting to get sick, as strep throat has been running around the school like wild fire, and my body was starting to feel weak. So atleast I fought it off with a nice long sleep.
So, as I was saying, paleo is thursday. I’m not worried, because apparently there is just one of each fossil, with basic labelling and she only wants phyllum/class, and order if applicable. So easy! But, just to be sure, I’m studying for a good 6 hours strait today with Carlee while she studies her structural lab.
And then….I’M FREE! Not. Sadly, I have 2 finals on monday and tuesday coming up fast, so friday/saturday/sunday are alternating study days between paleontology and sedimentology (recall sedimentology had only 8 people pass the midterm). After that its a nice few easy days of stats studying (we’ve finished our course material like 2 weeks ago, so he pulled some old finals and we’re going through those! SQUEE!) and then 3 more days until igneous. Then I’m done! And somewhat excited for the holidays.
I’m also going in for my PLC this saturday, and I’m hoping to get it before the end of december. FIngers crossed!
Anywho, its school time. Toodles!
