Brain-fry

Tomorrow at this time I will be staring at a series of bones and identifying each numbered part (whether it's a foramen, process, tuberosity, tubercle, fossa, or whatever) in 30 seconds or less. Today I took a chemistry exam that had me staring (once again) at the first problem like I was being asked to calculate how much fuel a 4-ton rocket needs to reach Jupiter in May. That happens all-too-often on my chemistry quizzes/exams. The rest of the test, with an exception of one or two questions, is a cake-walk by comparison. I seem to have a knack for forgetting one vital piece of information that will help me solve the first problem and thereby nearly disintegrate my confidence for the rest of the test. Maybe I'll save the first question for last from now on...
School in general is going smoothly in a slightly bumpy sort of way. I'm at least understanding pretty much everything we're discussing in class and the things I don't catch on to right away come with a little time. I'm enjoying my Algebra class much more now that we're going into the actual crunching of numbers and solving equations. Right now we're going through Matrices and are learning about "dirty data" which we can't calculate an exact fit. Finding an exact fit is a rather long process, but finding a "best fit" is even longer. Evidently I'm in for a long haul on my finals.
Moving along, I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day. My whole weekend was a good one. For one thing, I have procured a leather jacket. That's right, all I need now is a helmet and a motorcycle, which is probably the order that I'll get them in. It seems that every time I go to the DI with something specific in mind, I can never find it, or I can never find one that's suitable for a guy like me. This last visit hopefully broke that trend. I got it for a whopping 8 bones and it looks great. The reason for this purchase is a music video that some friends and I will be replicating in the near future. I'll let you see it when it's completed and that's if I'm feeling nice. Anyway, although it was stormy off and on the whole weekend, especially Memorial Day, I really enjoyed it. I believe the main contributor to my happiness was the fact that I managed to complete all my homework before Saturday was even half-over. The major let-down of the weekend was that almost everyone I know that was still up here had waited until Memorial Day to do their homework. Puh-leeze. Why ruin a perfect opportunity by procrastinating or not preparing? I used to be that way, and still can be, but not so much anymore.
At any rate, I had better get back to the grindstone. And away I go...
