I close my eyes, oh God, I think I'm falling...

The "Power of Madonna" episode is still with me and I'm jamming to Like a Prayer, Glee style. What's not to love?

My nano exam was earlier to today, and I hope/think it went well. And the best part is that it's over, I feel like a major weight has been lifted. I still have 6 more exams (3 down), so, I still have plenty of time to freak out about those, but this one was making me particularly anxious, so, it's real nice to have it over. My next exam is in 12 hours, woo hoo! Hopefully that one goes well.

The light at the end of this tunnel is the ultimate movie marathon, my sister, Poe and I have been compiling. It is going to be amazing. After weeks of planning and discussion we have decided on:

Originally, it was only suppose to be 26 hours (real marathon = 26 miles) because we didn't think we could call it a marathon with anything less. Then after we collected the essential movies we ended up at 30 hours, and we didn't think we could get rid of any of films because if so, we would be lacking substance, they are ALL essential to this project.

More good news! We decide to meet at Chans (12 hour drive for poe, 14 drive for me) because it would be the best meeting spot. And she wants to partake in this marathon (I think she was more excited than Meg and I, lol). Can't wait!

Duty calls, I'm off to study.

You Tell 'em Rachel

Best line from this week's episode:

I was going to get you one, but I don't like you.

All work and no play makes for a lame Easter

Dear Guozhong Cao,

Thank you for writing "Nanostructures and Nanomaterial" because I am clearly the worst note-taker in the world and when combined with the lecture notes of unmentionable Prof. R****, the consequences are dire. Because of you I am beginning to understand localized surface plasmon resonance, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Yours truly,
A grade-A slack off student


Sometimes it seems there is too much to do and not enough hours in the day, those are the days I long for summer when I will finally be free. Ahhhhh. Hopefully, I will make it out okay.

P.S. Em I will post photos soon.

Save the Planet: Eat Peanut Butter and Jelly - Food - The Atlantic

Save the Planet: Eat Peanut Butter and Jelly - Food - The Atlantic

These tomatos are nostalgic

I bought these tomatos from the store about a week ago, but when I first ate them they were a little too tart. I am eating them now and they are delicious and they remind me of way back when. When my parents used to make me and my siblings help can tomatos from our home grown garden. Anyway, these tomatos reminded me of the time comsuming days of canning tomatos, good times.
