So I'm about to take a really difficult Dendrology final. We have to take it this week before all the leaves fall off the trees. There are over 100 different trees of which to know the common, scientific, and family name.
During Tuesday's review:
Dr. M: "Whine complain. All I hear is oh I have three tests tomorrow whine whine whine. SO WHAT. You have three meals!"
And he's absolutely right. That's going through my head as I'm frantically holding up a dried leaf going 'yes, you are green, and I know you start with a C.... but information from other classes is also weeding it's way into my brain'

I don't know what you guys do to study, but I always have a really hard time
1. Starting anything and
2. Translating from flash cards to practical knowledge
Tips would be great, but in the mean time, there's this website
http://quizlet.com/
That offers not ONLY flashcards, but it will make up tests for you as well! And I think we are going to have a beautiful thing going on soon!

Dendrology trip was awesome. Semi-difficult hiking for short periods of time to get to trees endemic to these mountains. *squee* I also learned that at 21 I am the youngest in my class- at least 5 people are in Grad school. I also have decided to take a soil course before I graduate.
Apparently, when at the top you can see NC, SC, GA, and TN. CRAAAAZY.

"A rather gruesome legend dates back to the Tang Dynasty. In the legend, Bodhidharma, the founder of Chan Buddhism, accidentally fell asleep after meditating in front of a wall for nine years. He woke up in such disgust at his weakness that he cut off his own eyelids. They fell to the ground and took root, growing into tea bushes."
-Wikipedia, on tea
I mean... I love drinking ancient eyelid bushes of the weak.

I have never laughed so hard at a political video... or perhaps ever. See how far vocoder can get you!? This is to make up for previous post rant.

I got into my dendrology class! Now that woody plant field guide that I got for my birthday will come in handy academically!

A dude just walked in that looks JUST LIKE CARL! So much so, that I almost said 'hi carl' without a second thought as to why he would be in greenville at all. I mean, tall, lanky, SAME HAIRCUT and facial hair as when I last saw him, same dazed look on his face.
SO WEIRD.

Ah livejournal, always here for me to record useless things.
So I'm currently sitting downstairs on the couch comfortably secure in the cocoon of my wonderful black fleece blanket. The sun is reflected nicely away from the computer screen, but still fills the room with an uplifting amount of light, and I have a few hours of free time before work to catch up on things.
I have discovered why the old iPod cord won't charge the nano; apparently Apple has decided to save a few cents per unit to do away with the 12V to 5V converter from the firewire charging pin that used to be in all iPods. So the amperage is the same, but I wonder if a charger that puts out 12V will have adverse affects on an ipod that only requires 5 with the same amperage? Previously it had not worked at all, currently it works with the usb charger on this computer.
Who knows anything about changing the firmware on ipods... 'cause I don't- yet. Oh wait, apparently apple won't allow different firmware for the newest ipods.
Future reference

| Botany |
[03 Mar 2009|03:35pm] |
There should be no monotony
In studying your botany;
It helps to train
And spur the brain--
Unless you haven't gotany.
It teaches you, does Botany,
To know the plants and spotany,
And learn just why
They live or die--
In case you plant or potany.
You learn, from reading Botany,
Of wooly plants and cottony
That grow on earth,
And what they're worth,
And why some spots have notany.
You sketch the plants in Botany,
You learn to chart and plotany
Like corn or oats--
You jot down notes,
If you know how to jotany.
Your time, if you'll allotany,
Will teach you how and what any
Old plant or tree
Can do or be--
And that's the use of Botany!

New Years Eve, while not quite as epic as it has been in the past, was still quite enjoyable. Josh has credit for most of the pictures, though. We [David and I] ended up meeting Jill, Ashley, Alex, and Josh at David's apartment. We picked up some pizza and fake bubbly, talked until the internet told us it was time, then ended the evening with some Metalocalypse and Undergrads. Quaint, if anything.
I'm not much on resolving every year, but this year I plan on being the typical more organized and expanding the ol' vocabulary.
ToDaY made me go squee. While Jill, Josh, David, and I were anticipating food at Southpoint, I saw the unmistakable Rhett!

The Science of Smell a TED video.
"No one would tell me how many molecules were in [the perfume] so I put it through a GC [gas chromatograph] in my office, and it was about 400."
HAHAH!
"Everything is made up of atoms from the upper east side of the periodic table, what I like to call the nice safe neighborhood"
We Feel Fine REALLY cool program that tracks moods in blogs- IDK, I guess I just really like to blog and knowing that the words are not wasted is a really good one. You don't even KNOW what could be going on. [scary]
It also makes me feel bad for ever quoting people in my journal, how many ideas are unnecessarily being repeated?
There's also another project featured on the TED talk where I found this [ Well, the program he uses features ways of extracting people's substories using icons, dates, times etc. A while ago I was working on project online where I was supposed to give each picture [pages and pages of pictures] an icon. I WONDER IF THEY WERE CONNECTED!

I will be so glad when the sun comes up. In the mean time, This Comic as made my insomnia completely tolerable!

Edit- 5:00 in the AM
Fucking naps. Never again.
Edit- 5:something later that the last edit
Finished all the comics. I wish I could express myself like that instead of these stupid words.
