So, the test is finally over. Thank goodness I don’t have to carry around my orgo books for at least two weeks. Ugh. I think I’m going to have back problems from this class. I actually weighed both the orgo book and the solutions manual…together they only weigh 10 pounds, but carrying that extra ten pounds every day is a bitch. Ah well.
I know there were some stupid things I missed because I just couldn’t think of them…I even wrote down the steps for it, I just couldn’t think of the reagents needed. I could kick myself, if I could. Er. Hopefully I’ll get full credit on a few of the questions. Ah, the joys of partial credit.
And on the NaNo front: I have reached 13,000 words, which sounds like a lot, but we’re close approaching the 15th of Nov when theoretically I should be halfway finished. Eh. Not failing orgo is a higher priority than finishing the novel. But I think I might actually be able to do both. Who knows? I do think it’s coming along quite well, but I have to try to figure out how it’s going to end. I need an ultimate goal for the characters, you know? What would *you* have a boy who learns he’s King Arthur reborn do? In modern times. Yeah. Not so original, but it’s fun to write. It’s definitely tending towards the fantastic side. I don’t think I can write reality, unless it’s on this blog.
I’m happy because tonight I can go home and actually *watch* tv instead of taping it, hoping to watch the shows later. I’ll probably never get around to seeing all the shows I have on tape right now. A little over two weeks worth, I think. Oy. But I’ll have my laptop set up out there in the living room, so hopefully I’ll get something done. Yay for upping the word count! I’d post an excerpt, if I were on the comp that had it.
And hopefully MT will let me post this. Some days I hate technology.

…when the test is over. I feel like I’ve been under a lot of stress lately and it just hasn’t gone down. On the upside, I HAVE to be out of here by 5 because they’re laying tile (finally! It’s actually going to look like a hallway instead of a war zone) and everyone has to be out. Yay. I’ll leave an hour early anyway and head over to the library to study. Tests are hard! wish me luck. I’ll need it.
I just had to laugh when I saw this line in my comment-notification email (of course I deleted the comment, but it’s funny to see what the spam-bots string together hoping to make their comment sound legitimate):
Eisenhower!! Your mimeograph machine upsets my stomach!!
Yeah. Lovely.
So am I a horrible person to want to head over to King’s College since I’m trying to read up on it for my NaNo novel? Sigh. London has always been a place I want to visit, but now it’s much higher.
Must go study!

I want this! It would still let me be creative but I wouldn’t have to muck around with silly things like a bandsaw. Anyone have a spare $200? Build Your Own Lothlorien Galadrim Legolas Bow. And it would be fun to have these. Cheaper, anyway.
So yeah. Little over a day until the orgo test. Ugh. Bad things are sure to happen. Last time, the Cards managed to pull a miracle out of their bag and made it onto game 7 of the NLCS. So at least one good thing came out of that day. Now, I don’t think anything nearly so good will happen. And I’m horribly behind in NaNo, which makes me sad. Week Two wall, indeed. Just my luck to have a test, which by necessity has higher priority than writing for fun, during the crucial hit-the-writing-wall week. Bah. I’ve got the must-study-want-to-write blues. Ah well. Wish me luck.
