Shammy love

Chemists are Weird. Like Engineers only WORSE.

Our professor is sweet. A little off, her humor is, but that's ok. Our TA for Chem. Lab is also sweet but he's from India and I understand 1 in 5 words he says. Which is ok because Damm can understand him so I just wait til he's done speaking and then ask what it is I'm supposed to know. Last night we found out the density of Unknown Substance "B." Actually, in the midst of the lab I had no clue why we were doing these painstaking experiments but I was tired and I planned on asking later. Damm did a wonderful job of explaining volume, mass, and density in terms of something I could understand: M&M's. If you have another way of explaining it that involves items such as spaghetti, chocolate, Oreo's, please feel free to share it with me. I'm still trying to conceptualize it. Also last night we concluded that Engineers don't really care how something works, they just want to know if it will work. Historians want to know all about the events/p...

So its been a while since our last post. We spent the weekend mostly trying to move. I moved my shaman over and am enhancement again and beginning to build a gear set.

School Has Started.

My spanish prof. only speaks spanish in class. I understood 50%. Chemistry teacher said that most of us would fail and that you had to have prerequisites out the wazoo. I last looked at math 5 years ago and science 10 years ago. I have no prerequisites. Damm says I'll be fine. 3 of my classes are continuations of classes I took last spring. I'm feeling that fall break I took. Damm has to add a class. I freaked out today about studying time. Both of us are tired and our two kids are showing signs of our stress. Neither took long naps. I'm loving and hyperventilating every second of this school life.

Desks. Laptops. And nerves.

We have a new desk. A nice dark wood color. Wulfa has an amazing new laptop: Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard System Model: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC BIOS : Default System BIOS Processor: AMD Turion(tm) II Ultra Dual-Core Mobile M600 (2 CPUs), ~2.4GHz Memory : 4096MB RAM Available OS Memory: 3836MB RAM DirectX Version: DirectX 11 Video Card name: AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 It has a 17inch screen and is glossy black so plenty of fingerprints can be found all over it usually :P... Mine is still to be ordered. I want to thank everyone for all the input. It helped a lot in my research towards what we should buy and my comfort level. P.S. WE CAN SEE THE GROUND WHILE FLYING NOW!!

Today is the Day

"'I get a new laptop, I get a new laptop (repeat in a singsong voice).'" And new schoolbooks. And. Just wait-this is the best part. I. Get. To. Go. To. STAPLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And buy school supplies. We went there yesterday to price things and there were many many things that I lusted after. And then I had to repent and now I merely want them. Starting to freak out a bit about school actually starting(Thursday) and juggling school work and two kids but I usually do that and usually everything works out fine. As an aside: Sharon Kay Penman's Devil's Brood is out in paperback and is excellent historical fiction reading, in my opinion. It's the 3rd in her Henry II/Eleanor of Aquitaine series but it can be read on its own if you know a bit of what was going on during that time period (Eleanor and sons rebel against Henry, Henry defeats them and keeps Eleanor on house arrest for 16 years, gives his sons titles but no actual power, etc.). I expect that this boo...
