Morons

It's been a long time since I posted on here.  I'm planning on trying to fix that in the near future.

I seriously cannot stand my suitemates right now.  They're complete idiots.

If you don't have a license to practice medicine, do not argue with me when I give you information that I got from my parents who are both either currently working or previously have worked in the medical field.  They are medical professionals, you're just stupid liberal arts college students studying history, psychology, and accounting.  You are not doctors or registered nurses.  So shut the hell up about things you know nothing about and only assume you know because it makes logical sense.  Biology does not work the way you think it does.  I don't care if you think you know everything because one of you is a biology minor.  You are not freaking doctors and you do not have medical licenses.  You know nothing about medicine.  You cannot logic the issue to death and be right.

You are not entitled to your opinion.  You are entitled to your educated opinion.  And none of you could get into med school if you tried.  So shut up, sit down, and stay the hell out of things you don't understand.  You only make yourselves look like morons because you're dead wrong.

On that note, cold air does not cause sickness.  If you want to be warmer, try sleeping under your sheets and comforter instead of under your coat in a tank top and leggings, stupid.  The cold air actually activates your immune system and it kills the bacteria and viruses that make you sick.  It is the fact that you stay up all night working on homework and then stay up all day working and never sleep.

Stop telling me I'm wrong because I'm not.  It is not a freaking matter of opinion.  It is a proven fact.  We cannot agree to disagree because you are wrong.  You cannot be right when there is only one correct answer and you've picked a different one.  This isn't multiple guess or open to interpretation.  It's like math.  There is only one right answer.

Idiots.

 

It's Been a While...

I really need to blog more.  I haven't posted a thing in over three months, and I do not like this radio silence. 

I've been so busy that it's not even funny.  My Cell and Molecular Biology teacher is absolutely incompetent and has us doing constant busywork with her lab reports.  I'm really starting to hate this class, which is not a good thing.  I used to be able to do lab reports for Dr. C. in maybe three hours.  Dr. C-K's lab reports take at least six hours.  It's not the methods that are the difficult part, it's the discussion.  Half the time none of us even know what she's asking for.  It doesn't help that she still hasn't given us most of our lab reports back. 

I love my Organic Chemistry class, though.  Dr. S. is still a great teacher and I understand what we're going over - it's so much fun.  I love making things in the lab, too.  It's kind of an ongoing joke between me and Private that I always get what we're supposed to get and he doesn't.  A few weeks ago, I had a slurry of white fluffy crystals in acidic ethanol when he had brown sludge.  It was really very funny.  That and he always breaks stuff.  We've had a total of one lab this semester alone where he hasn't broken anything.  And we've had like eight labs. 

Theology is a bit boring, though.  I like Prof. R. - she's really nice and she keeps things understandable - but I already know almost everything we've gone over in this class.  I also have to work on a presentation with one of my roommates, Flutter, that goes for a half an hour during class.  About the Orthodox Church.  I can do that, but a half an hour seems like a lot.  At least she only requires one church visit, though.  Almost all of the other Theology profs require at least two to five from what I've heard...so, I have to do that when I get back.  Fun stuff. 

The only other class that I'm currently in is World Geography, which is fairly interesting, but it's really difficult to take notes in the class because Prof. B. goes really fast and the notes he has up on the screen are a bit fragmented at times...still, it's an enjoyable class and it's fairly easy. 


My PE class, which is on nutrition starts on Monday, though.  I don't know whether to look forward to it or not because it's PE and it's a gen ed class....

Other than that, I'm auditing a class called Transatlantic Literature with Dr. E. S.  That is a very interesting class.  It started out with Lewis's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and then went to Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury.  Those are very different books, to say the very least. 

Now, I'm off to do some catching up with my blog.  Hopefully I'll be able to actually keep up from now on...

Books I Finished in November

I actually didn't read a whole lot this month because I had so much going on - well, technically I did, because one of the books was REALLY long, but very good (Inheritance), and another was also just brilliant (Beauty and the Werewolf), both of which exceeded my high expectations of them.  Perhaps once finals are done, I'll actually be able to read a bit more..

Ironside
Star Wars: Invasions Vol. 2: Rescues
Inheritance 
Beauty and the Werewolf
 

Books I Finished in October

I actually read a lot of manga in October - twenty volumes of Boys Over Flowers, at least.  Those were pretty fun, as was Ghost Story, which only makes me want the fourteenth Dresden Files book all the more.  To Be Queen was also a good book - I usually enjoy books about Eleanor of Aquitaine, and that was certainly a good one.

Reunion
Transformation
The Dresden Files: Ghost Story
To Be Queen
Tithe
Boys Over Flowers Vol 16-36
Vanish

Books I Finished in September

I haven't actually had a whole lot of time to post over the last couple of months, which kind of stinks.  I've had a ton of work to do, so I've barely had time for anything whatsoever that wasn't school.  I wish I could post more and I hope I will be able to soon, but it's hard to tell.  I still managed to read a whole lot, though -

Dragon's Time
Excalibur (Graphic Novel)
The Water Trilogy: Ascension 
Boys Over Flowers Vol. 1-15
Ouran High School Host Club Vol. 2
Dragon's Time
A Tangled Web (From Harvest Moon)
Turn of the Screw

Also...

Just for the record, Arthurian Legend is not history.  It is fiction.  It is a story.  It is legend.  No matter how much I want it to be true.  It is still fiction.  It can't be historically accurate if it wasn't real.  End of story.

Just an Observation

I should be working on Ecology homework (I swear this class will be the death of me), but I found this on one of the Merlin Tumblrs I read when I was taking a break. 

This is based on one of my favorite television shows, Merlin.  Where Gwen is a servant instead of a princess and she is an anachronistic, boring character that I can't say I hate only because I don't give a piece of soggy bread what happens to her as long as she stays away from Arthur.  She is not my favorite character.  She is FAR from it.  Honestly, she is probably my LEAST favorite character in the whole series.  If it wasn't for Morgana, I probably would have stopped watching AGES ago.  Oh, and Sir L'Oreal (Gwaine) and Percival.  That, however is beyond the point.

The point is, no matter what she is in any story, Guinevere always betrays Arthur.  I can't think of a single one where she doesn't.  And it's usually with Lancelot (or Bedivere if it's before the story crossed to France).  It doesn't matter if she's not a princess (I'm sure as heck glad she isn't).  She loves Lancelot.  That's amazingly obvious.  (I admit, I do have a thing for Arthur/Morgana, but that is also irrelevant.) It doesn't matter if she loves Arthur before they marry - she consistently betrays him.  (And she and Arthur have NO chemistry for another thing.)

That said, you cannot say that it is something she will never do.  You cannot.  (The writers will probably do so just because they do play the important parts to legend.)  You cannot predict a show that you aren't one of the writers for.  End of story. 

This just annoys me.  I personally don't like her because I don't see anything really interesting about her character (I find her incredibly bland.  She has no real personality other than being sweet and a bit stubborn and as loyal as a puppy.  She has no flaws.  She gets all of the guys.  (She and Merlin have a thing in early Series One, obviously then there's the whole Gwen/Lancelot thing in his episodes, there's Gwen/Arthur (ick) that we all knew was coming from the start, there's a tiny bit of Gwen/Gwaine (ewww)...you get the idea.)  She's pretty much a Mary Sue. 

And this is why I love Morgana.  Anyway, I need to get back to my work.  More soon.  Ish.  I'll get back to this eventually...
