Nerd moment of the day: At the restaurant, a customer left me $ 3.14 as tip. I thought "wow...they gave me pi."

Anywho, back to studying for finals....nyargh.

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY LAB IS OVER!!!
Gwahahaha....yep, I had my last organic lab EVER today. Just had to get that out of my system. Now back to your regularly scheduled program. :)

I'm no fashion guru, but if there's one suggestion I could make to the guys, it'd be this:
If you have long hair, please please PLEASE don't tie it up with a scrunchy. It tends to have a highly dephallicizing effect. You could stand at 6 feet 5 inches, be 280 pounds of rock-hard muscle, and a scrunchy would still have the power to reduce you to a 4-year old girl with a Barney doll. This has been a public service announcement by Cindy.

This was me this morning. I had to get up at 7. And in case you're wondering, that says "Caffeine Junkie" under the little coffee cup that's stitched onto my robe. :P So anywho, I'm obviously not a morning person. You could kick me in the face and I wouldn't say "ow" until 5 minutes later. And by then you probably would have run off laughing. Punk.

And on a totally unrelated note, I'm convinced that either I'm REALLY freakin' retarded or I'm just reverting back to my childhood memories. I was listening to the Elmo Song last week. So what's this week's song? None other than Rubber Duckie. :D

And can someone please tell the freaks at UT pharmacy school that I'd like to know if I made it in or not? It's not nice to keep a girl in suspense...hmph.

Call me retarded, but for some bizarre reason, my roomie and I have been listening to the Elmo Song for about week now. On the other hand, I don't feel as retarded when I send the song to my friends and they get just as giddy as I do...nyahaha. Listen here. :-D

So anywho...HOW COME PEOPLE AREN'T BLOGGING ANYMORE?!?! Geez, are they too busy with exams or monkey-feeding or something?!?! Punks....oh wait, that's me. Okay okay, so blogging frequency has definitely gone down in this corner of the internet, but I promise that I'll blog if anything interesting happens around here.

In the meantime, just remember that steamed milk with hazelnut syrup is da shizzle.

Music: Other keyboards clicking...

Bleh...I'm updating from one of the school libraries. Anywho, just a few pointers of what's been going on, for your boredom and for my own future reference. :P

Good Stuff:

• I went to a Stephen Lynch show last night. Anyone who's seen that guy on Comedy Central would get an idea of how FREAKIN' AWESOME that show was. *grin*
• I got an interview to UT pharmacy school!! Woohoo!! My interview's on Saturday morning...I'm pretty freakin' nervous, but I'm just glad that I've got an interview in the first place. :)
• I got a job! I'm a waitress at this little sushi place near my apartment called Sushi Niichi. I used to be a semi-regular there, and I'd say hi to a few of the employees whenever I went. Anywho, Sushi Niichi shut down for a while, then it reopened, so when I went back, the manager's mother pretty much handed me the position on a silver platter. It's low pay, but it's free sushi for me and I'm working with people that I'm already familiar with, so things should be good. :)

Bad Stuff:
Mother Nature hates me and decided to get me sick right before my first day of work and my UT pharm school interview. DAMN THESE PATHOGENIC BASTARDS!!! *grumble*

Yay...I'm home in Houston for the weekend! That means lotsa good food and plenty of Chinese supermarket shopping. Anywho, there was kind of a funny sight today at the Chinese supermarket:

My mom and I were waiting in line to get some roasted meats. There's a little Asian woman in front of us, and an American woman behind us. The little Asian lady in front of us makes her order, but it turns out that she doesn't speak Chinese or Vietnamese, so she had to speak in broken English and use hand gestures to place her order. On the other hand, the American lady behind us stepped up to the counter, and placed her order in fluent Vietnamese. Ironic, eh? Let's just say mom and I were impressed. :)

Wow....I feel like I haven't blogged in eons. Eeeesh.

Anywho, I've got a good break from exams and papers until the 21st, which means I've got more time to waste. Which also means that I've got more time to blog! Whee!

Too bad I can't think of anything to write...argh! No ideas = random list. Maybe I'll elaborate on some of these points some other time...just leave a comment if you want to hear more about any of the listed items. :P

• It's sad when I'm so desperate for pads that I ask a GUY if he has any. It's even sadder when he actually has some. *grin*
• College rule of the month: When you've got two exams in one day, there's a 99.68% chance that you'll flunk one of them.
• Rooney is a freakin' awesome band. Here's some ear candy for you:
  1) Rooney - Blueside
  2) Rooney - I'm a Terrible Person
• It's one thing when people steal food out of my pantry. And I'm not talking just one or two cookies...I'm talking entire packages of cookies gone, with the exception of a few crumbs. It's quite another matter when I hide my food in my closet, and then they DIG THROUGH MY FREAKIN' CLOSET to steal it. Let's just say I was ready to raise hell. *fume*
• Have I mentioned that I hate organic chemistry lab? That with the fact that I just plain suck at it makes me hate it even more...just a few mishaps that I've had in lab so far:
  1 broken 50-ml round bottom flask
  1 chemical burn
  1 broken 25-ml round bottom flask
  2 instances where I had to make up data (let's see...melting point of 52 degrees sounds good to me...)
  MANY instances where I'm tempted to tell my lab TA that I'm pregnant so I don't have to go to lab anymore (chemicals = bad for babies)
• Easter's coming up! That means everyone should run to the stores on Monday and make a grab for all the Easter candy that's going to be on sale! I'd recommend the Caramel Cadbury Eggs. *grin*

Oky doky, that's enough rambling for now. And remember that it takes 43 muscles to smile, but none to sit with a dumb look on your face.

The month of April is just around the corner, and there's yellow dust floating around...and it ain't sulfur. Yes, my friends, it's that wonderful time of year again....ALLERGY SEASON!! *fanfare plays* Time to stock up on the tissues, the Benadryl, and whatever other crazy medications you may have. So, to ring in this bright and chipper time of year, I present to you:

Cindy's Super-Fun Nose-Congestion Treatments!

Method 1: The Doctor's Way
The most common method...take some medication. Wait an hour or so for it to kick in, and feel your nasal passages clear up. This can be made more fun by mixing your pills in a pile with similarly colored and shaped laxatives and see what happens.

Method 2: The Minty Fresh Way
Pop 4 or 5 Altoids. Take a drink of ice-cold water. Breathe free.

Method 3: The Japanese Way
This has similar effects to method 2. Fill a bowl with wasabi. Grab a spoon. Eat it ALL in a span of 2 minutes. Need I say more?

Method 4: The Mafia Way
Secure a plastic bag over your head for 5 minutes. Remove. NOW TRY TELLIN' ME YOU CAN'T BREATHE, BIATCH.

Method 5: The "D'oh!" Way
Stub your toe REALLY freakin' hard, preferably on something made of metal with sharp corners. This won't clear your nose, but it makes you stop thinking about your nose for a while, eh?

Method 6: The Sci-Fi Nerd's Way
Simply breathe through your mouth. And do it loudly. When people stare, make a very serious face and claim to be Darth Vader. Then claim to be the starer's father.

And there you have it. For those of you who are as miserable and stuffy as I am, don't forget to take your meds, and ALWAYS carry some travel-sized tissues....you don't want to resort to using crappy school/office toilet paper or a crumpled magazine page. As for those of you who don't have ANY allergies....well, I'm just gonna call you guys lucky bastards. :P Grrrr.
