fredericks: (Me)
I need. A lot. Friends, time, money. I want the same.
Making friends for me isn't hard. Keeping them is the deal breaker. Not that I intend to whine about this. I'm fairly certain I've surpassed my whine quota for the month.

This afternoon was my Microbiology Final. I was fashionably underprepared and got predictably laced by the 100 question monster. I've found during my brief tenure at Hunter that less is more; unlike my other school, here I can sort of skim over the material and pull an A-. Of course, that's only applicable when the exams don't have the plague of non-studiers, "all of the above/none of the above". And even THAT'S tolerable when the "A & B, A & C" etc options aren't thrown in. Gah. So broken.

On the plus side, the Anatomy bulletin board seems to have been left mod-less so people are posting utter shiite. One of those things being a 36 reply (and growing!) post titled "LET'S GANG BANG GOMEZ", on, well, engaging in group sex with my Micro professor. Personally he's not my cup of tea. He's around 5'7", 5'8", with tamed brown hair and a smallish frame. I...nothing. Doesn't do it for me*. But it would seem I'm in the minority. Some choice replies:

The people in my class have ISSUES )

It's the vague scientific naming for everything that kills me. That and the fact that we're all freaking the hell out over the upcoming Anatomy final (in t-minus 12 hours). And I highly doubt all that was the handiwork of one person: a number of the girls in my Micro lab asked our instructor if Gomez was single "because he's so cute! ::annoying giggle::". Kids. Man.

Still debating whether I should take my Nutrition final. As is, if I don't take it I'll get a B+ in the class and I'll have more time to rest up for my Ethics final later that evening. I'll flip a coin, maybe.

My father's going back to work next week. My brother, upon hearing, did an extended booty dance in the kitchen. I wish I'd had a camera on hand. I need more blackmail material.

Now, if you'll pardon me, I have to get back to urinalysis.

*I realized when I re-read the description that it could fit for Hal Sparks as well. How to explain the inconsistency? one might ask. To which I say: Gomez ain't Hal.
Fin.
fredericks: (Mine is an evil laugh)
Exam...done. Crap. One possible two left to go, depending on how I feel in the morning when I try to wake up.

I've started reading Lackey's Last Herald-Mage series. I'm not that impressed with it on the whole, somethings about it fall flat IMO (for example: the first two books of the trilogy have ended with the titular Herald-Mage fighting someone powerful, getting beat up, and then coming back from death's door, a device I'm beginning to find more hatred for each time I come upon), but as is my tendency with books (see: Foreigner, Otherland, Tom Strong, etc etc) I get caught up in the life of the main character and just have to see how it's been played out.

I'm coming to the end of the last book and I'm hesitating. Which surprises me. If the pattern holds (and the climax builds true) there's good money on the main character and/or his lover biting it in the last couple of pages. Dying nobly, but dying nonetheless. And, dang it, I like him. Them. It's not their fault they got flung into a fictional word with too much verbal exposition.

I should just read and get it over with. I'm such a twat. *sigh*


Re: THE END
Wackest ending EVER.
Bloody hell. You mean to tell me he'd wait all that time? The fudge, man?? It's obvious she had no way to end it and tried the "cute and poignant" route.

I really did dislike it. Curse my teary eyes and scratchy throat.
fredericks: (Daria)
God, I think I need a hug.

Anyway - [livejournal.com profile] quenya_tattoo threw a Tic Tac at me and forced me to do this.

1) Total number of books owned:
God. Too many. Well, no; no such thing. More than 500? And are we including comics and graphic novels here too? because...whoa.

2) The last book I bought:
Ego Trip's Big Book of Racism by Sacha Jenkins and Co.

3) The last book I read:
Magic's Price by Mercedes Lackey. I must be hormonal because I got weepy over the ending. Even though it's middling at best.

4) 5 books that mean a lot to me:
Sea of Silver Light Tad Williams
Cry to Heaven Anne Rice
Sister Carrie Theodore Dreiser
Black Sun Rising - C.S. Friedman
Dragon Prince - Melanie Rawn

5) Ask 5 people to fill this out on their journals:
Er...
