just a few things

it's been a tad bit longer than i would have expected before i made another post, but some things for the past few weeks have either been real wierd, a bit odd, or even stupid to say the least. i'm sure most can relate, so i think that i'll start it off from the top.

last week was molecular biochem exam number 2. the first one i got a 36 out of 50. not so bad in comparison to last quarter but i really worked my ass off and maybe i was just doing the whole study thing wrong. i kind of feel a bit jaded because the instructor Dr. Vaghy gives study guides and takes a majority (about 85%) of the exam questions from these "sample exams", so needless to say i should have done WAY better. that was about a week and a half ago to the day. then they decide that the next exam is going to be on a wednesday, last wednesday to be exact. it was literally 1 week later, give or take 2 days. this time Dr. Sanford (whom i have a strong disgust for now) decides to make the exam 30 pages long! there were 5 pages of short answer, 2 pages of matching/labeling which really shouldn't have been on there, and about 4 pages of multiple choice. i wanted to die. everyone who came out of the lecture hall after me was either pissed off (like i was) or completely baffled at what had just happened. in my opinion, she hates all college students...

on the employment front, since transferring from the bexley office to the clintoville office, i have seen my name written on money twice. i have only been there since the third week in december, further more, i doubt the name "Sophia" is really all that common; considering the fact that in my entire time being here in ohio (about 15 years) i have only met a handful of people with my name. i apparently have a "money stalker".

over the weekend i rented the movie Paris Je'Taime. it's wonderful! it has about 13... or maybe 27... i don't know. it has a collaboration of all these short films involving love and the city of Paris. my most favorite one is the opening scene. there is a guy driving around trying to find a parking spot. he's getting really pissed off and at the last minute he finds one, then about 3 or 4 people pull up next him trying to see if he is leaving, so they can get his spot. the funniest thing is when he says "shove off, buttface" i have said it once and i'll say it again, i have a very wierd sense of humor and that line pretty much made my day. and for no reason at all.

friday my mother drove up from dayton and brought me an article on alpacas and llamas. ohio is trying to get them sanctioned as livestock rather than exotic animals so the farms who have/own them can get major benefits from the state. from what i read, ohio has the biggest population of llama/alpaca owners throughout the entire U.S... you can only imagine how happy that made me!

lastly, not last weekend, but the weekend before me and becky were going to attend her first ever seen drag show. the only bad part is that it was in a hole in the wall bar in clintonville, i don't know what was worse, us being the youngest ones there or the fact that it was mardi gras themed with a bunch of old geezers singing karaoke. needless to say, we didn't stay and she has yet to encounter her first drag show. we looked super cute though!
