Writing My Life Away
A little rant, and then my updated schedule

Took a calculus 3 test today. It took me 3 and a half hours. I missed my calculus class as well as tutoring someone that I promised to tutor today, and I had to rush at the end to make sure that I got out in time to do a government presentation. I only finished 5 of the 8 problems. 

But it’s alright. If i don’t get any partial credit for the other questions I’ll have a 62 on the test, and If i only get a 70 on my final I’ll have an 80 overall. If i get just 1/5 partial credit on each of the 3 i didn’t finish then I’ll get a 70 on the test and an 82 overall. Not to mention the fact that the prof admitted he doesn’t check the answers before hand, so I might have been right to not finish a couple. Also, he apparently curves the final grade, so even if i get a high 70 overall he’ll probably give me an 80 for the course. 

Still is annoying. The subject isn’t hard enough to warrant an 80 overall. 

So, schedule: 

I’m done with today. Other than going to physics class, I’m finished.

Tomorrow I have class in the morning, but it won’t be a full day. Then I mow, and pick isaac up from school, and possibly weed eat (if i have time) and then Sarah and I get to hang out.

Friday I’ll weed eat, do whatever physics I haven’t done yet, and then relax.

I managed to do my chemistry test today. So, new schedule:

Tomorrow I need to review calculus 3 for my test, and do a chapter of physics homework. If I feel comfortable enough to take the calculus test after reviewing that morning, i will take the test.

Thursday i have to pick Isaac up from school, and mow. 

Friday I take the calculus test if I don’t take it tomorrow, weed eat and do 2 chapters of physics homework. 

Physics is done for the day. Now i have 45 minutes to do government homework before I have to go to physics and make a presentation

I’ll feel successful if

Today I want to get a chapter of physics done (halfway there) as well as the majority of the Government project. After that I’m going to work on Warforged a bit, hopefully get character creation generally ironed out. 

Tomorrow I need to finish the Government project, weed eat and mow the lawn, and review chemistry enough to be ready to take the test wednesday. Then I’m going over to Sarah’s house (hopefully. I might have to stay home if i can’t finish my studying in time)

Wednesday I need to take my chemistry test, do a chapter of physics homework, and review for my math test

Thursday I need to take my math test and do a chapter of physics homework

Friday I need to do a chapter of physics homework, and then relax. 

Saturday is spring into action (church community service) unless no one from our church goes. 

Things To Do:

Physics homework (4 chapters, have this whole week)

Chemistry homework (all of it for the semester. Have until may 9th, so two weeks)

Review chemistry (test monday through wednesday)

Review calculus 3 (test sometime this week)

Make a powerpoint for government (presentation wednesday or a week from monday)

mow and weed eat tuesday

probably tutor austin monday

Community service with the church next saturday

Physics presentation monday

*sigh* I’m tired of homework today. Hopefully getting this down in list form helps me stop dwelling on the amount of stuff I have to get done. It’s gonna be a hard week, should be a lot better by next sunday, though. And if i get through the week without exploding i’ll treat myself to a cd. Or maybe instead I’ll share a sushi roll with Shivers.

Reading List

Because of my wonderful Shivers I now have a bunch of new books to read. I have a bunch to read, but I’m only including the ones I’m going to read in the near future here. 

I just finished the Fellowship of the Ring.

The Two Towers (of course. Might not start this immediately, though, since i’m at a pausing point in the series.)

I think next (before the Two Towers) i’m going to read some Conan stories. Good for short inspiration, especially with my current story I’m writing. 

Then, in no particular order but soon:

Ilium (the Trojan War in the future)

The Seal of Karga Kul (DnD book)

The Ten Thousand (supposedly intensely depressing but awesome)

The Black Company (another dark series)

The Gormenghast novels (funny, of the language style of Lord of the Rings)

The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun (tolkien’s version of a norse epic poem)

That’s all as far as inspiration books go. I also have:

The Passage (vampire apocalypse)

Dune (futuristic, supposed to have amazing world building)

and a zombie book which i found out is a sequel to another book (so i need the first book). 

And once I finish reading the lord of the rings I’m going to read the Silmarillion, then the histories of Middle earth. 

I’m a zombie wizard… a necromancer?

Hint: Kr2Cr2O7 is an oxidizing agent

your answer is an aldehyde. Though an aldehyde is the intermediate, this isn’t the final product.

Nah, really? For it to turn a primary alcohol into an aldehyde it’d have to be an oxidizing agent.

*sigh* This online homework gives the worst hints
