Just Throw a Brick

Well, Bernard has moved on to the great aquarium in the sky. Crazy to think that Bernard knew me longer than C does. I freaking love that fish. March 2012 - March 2015 A lot of people have asked if I'm going to get a new fish. I would, but since me and C are most likely moving this fall, I think I'll just wait and get a new one wherever we end up living. But it makes me sad every time I look at the table and he's not on it anymore :(  I remember the day I brought Bernard home. It was a Thursday, and I'd just had my Evolutionary Biology lab on sexual dimorphism (why male and female animals display different colors/feathers/fur etc.) In this lab, we put betas next to each other and saw what would create the biggest anger/puffing of gills fit between the two. Originally I had a bright red fighter I dubbed Spanky. My TA came up and was like "Hey, if you want him, you can have him. We're trying to get rid of all of these fish since we don't need th...

Hey everyone! I, KM, is now KMO! I mean, it's not like on my driver's license or anything, but we have a marriage license that proves it and everything! It's unreal.... When you get married, everything changes, and yet nothing changes at the same time. I just live with my best friend now, instead of with four of my good friends, and I won't lie, it gets a little lonely sometimes. C has a full-time job with a moving company so he's gone most of the day, and I'm currently looking for a job. It's hard to be alone all day. I never thought I'd miss having a job but I miss the social interactions. Oh, and a reason to wear real pants. I swear, I live in basketball shorts these days, and it doesn't help that C owns about ten pairs of them, so I never run out of them. It's reached a bad point. My mom commented the other day to C that "you have to be careful that K doesn't let herself go... I haven't seen her in real pants in a few weeks......

Well guys, C is off at camp until all hours of the night this week, so you're getting all sorts of posts this week. Mood music? This is my current favorite song: One Republic's whole album is amazing, this is just the current track I'm obsessed with. But I'm about *this* close to buying Norah Jones' premiere album, so I'll probably be posting about that next time. What else is new...Got a new roommate. She loves cooking and baking, so that's cool. Although the other day she brought home a pizza from Little Caesar's, and anyone that knows me knows I can't even smell that stuff without feeling nauseous. *grimace* Good things? Let's see. Last week of full-time work! Woo! Plus my boss tried typing out a whole football game like she wants us to do, and let's just say she has a little more understanding of what we do all day, haha. Finished the game our coach called the worst football he'd ever seen played by his team, so that was fun ...

Q: The quotient of 27 squared and 15 squared is the square of what number? A: 9/5 Yeah, that's right. Thought I'd switch it up from vocabulary to math today. I've been studying for a couple hours, trying to relearn all the crap I forgot about exponents and square roots. Kill me now. Studying for the GRE is kind of like this: ...and then you have to re-learn all of it. I don't hate math, I'm okay at it, but hello. There's a reason I'm in biology and not math education or something equally as distasteful. I remember watching that show Numb3rs as a kid and being like "What? People grow up and choose to do math as a job? What the heck do they do?" Of course, Charlie ended up solving mysteries with math, so that was cool. Not cool enough for me to go into forensic mathematics, however. If there is such a thing... Thirsty Thursday went pretty well, if anyone was wondering. We had some awesome treats and a fancy little container for our...

Well, it's finals week. All of my finals were scheduled within a 24-hour period (worst idea ever, especially having two at 7 am in a row...Who does that?! I can do one in a row, easy. But for some reason, two in a row is way harder than you'd think...) Anyway. So yes. 24 hours later and all my finals are done. I have one more final project to work on, but it's for my annoying Editing class and I'm just at the point where I don't care anymore. I'll make the changes she told me to make, and then I'll be done. That was probably the most annoying class I've ever taken. Haha, thank goodness for teacher evaluations. >:) It was raining when I went to my final at 7 am today, which I liked. I had gotten up late (6:45??!!! How did that EVEN happen?!?!?!?!) and I was extremely stressed, because I hate being late, and it meant I couldn't review for my final before like I had planned :( So I ended up throwing on my favorite T-shirt and brushing my teeth an...
