I guess I've reached the unlucky point in my education when my textbooks no longer have pictures in them anymore. I'm not talking the "see spot run" sort of pictures, but just diagrams that often help illustrate concepts that are very difficult to understand when simply read about. For example, the Krebbs Cycle, from Biochem. Reading about the Krebbs Cycle makes my eyes want to bleed, therefore, being the visual learner I am, I completely skipped the written words and looked instead at the diagram. It helped me tremendously. Now, I'm forced to read every square inch of my textbook pages, because there as so many words, OMG. *tear*

You know, the snow is really getting to me. Whenever I travel, a massive snow storm ensues. I'm like a weatherman or something. Next time I plan on traveling, I'll let you know. Sure enough we'll get like a foot of snow. I guess I can't complain too much about my horrible luck with weather though, because my car has been awesome so far (knocks on wood) and has handled the snow so well. At least I have always made it home safe and sound, so maybe my luck isn't so bad after all.

Speaking of my awesome car, this morning as I was about to leave Mike's place to come back home, his neighbor Blake couldn't get his truck running, so I jumped it for him! My little Prizm!! I'm so proud. Although, it took so long to get his truck going anyway that I was worried my little engine just wouldn't cut it. >_<

I didn't have class yesterday due to it being MLK day, and today my lab was canceled so I didn't have class until 2 pm. So, I got to enjoy an extended weekend with my boy! :D We went to see the new movie Cloverfield, which I thought was very good and interesting. It was definitely a unique sort of film, but I enjoyed it. We also watched most of Nip/Tuck season 2, and part of the Shield season 1. I love watching TV series on DVD! :D After being so spoiled, I was sad to say goodbye this morning. :-(

Jim-bug got me a garage door opener!! OMG YAY!!! Now I can park inside, like a grown-up or something! I don't have to start my car fifteen minutes early, or trudge across the front yard to clean the layers upon layers of snow off my car before going to class! I'm SO HAPPY, HOMAN. My excitement over this has somewhat silenced my desire to complain about the frigid temperatures I must suffer downstairs. I pretty much carry a blanket with me wherever I go, but I don't want to turn the heat up without asking, because Jim went through a lot of odd sort of trouble to get me the door opener. What a guy. What a creepy sort of nice guy.
