Maximum Speed on My Mark...Engage!

Isn't life funny with the various speeds it seems to go and the sudden changes in both speed and direction? One minute you're wandering blissfully along, fitting into a nice little groove that you just barely eked out and the next minute you get blind-sided by the equivalent of a mack-truck coming out of the blue above left field. Whether or not that mack-truck actually stops and gives you goodies or just runs you over is the major indicator of whether or not you're going to like this new direction. I have seen both in the last couple of weeks. I'm happy to say that I wasn't run over by the truck, but sad to say it plowed two people I know on its way. Naturally, those two people were not autonomous, but have connections to a complex network of people that the affect diffuses through; kind of like they're all connected by cords. Interesting to note that you can see a mack-truck coming from that spacious blue if you know where to look. Sometimes the sun's in your eyes, sometimes the truck has screaming lights, hopefully you get my point before I belabor this any more.
So life has its ups and downs, per usual. Human Anatomy and Physiology has tried to swallow me whole but ended up having to fight Chemistry and Algebra for me. So in a way, I'm grateful that all three have tried to claim me because if they hadn't, one would have succeeded and I wouldn't be writing this right now...at least coherently...well, you know what I mean. I was told that the forearm would be the muscle equivalent of the skull, and they were pretty much right. Your forearm is more complex than you would think and is a beast to try and figure out using the models they give you (maybe it was because I was really tired and didn't feel like being there in the first place). Lucky for us students, there are people who donate their bodies to science. Cadavers are very valuable to an A&P class.
My Chemistry class is not a chemistry class for at least 2 weeks, but a physics class instead. We're dealing with light and what my chemistry teacher calls "wavicles", which are things that have both the properties of a particle and a wave, like light itself, electrons, so on and so forth. This is the same chemistry teacher who said that water molecules, upon absorbing heat from microwaves, begin to spin around very fast and turn into "lots of tiny, microscopic ninjas-HiyAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Indeed he did scream "hiya!" in the middle of class. I'm liking this class, but the quizzes and exams try to kill me (unsuccessfully, thank goodness).
Algebra is the same as it always is, we're just going through polynomials and such right now. That's about it and yeeha for that.
My religion class is really great. My teacher, Brother Pyper, loves church history, so we get a lot of church history in with our lessons, especially since it's a Doctrine and Covenants class. Also, he has a doctorate that makes him very knowledgeable with Old Testament stuff. It's just amazing and I soak up every minute of the class.
Anyway, I should be wrapping this up now. Referring to the title of this post and the beginning, life seems to be going at break-neck speeds in some parts and matching cold molasses in others. Funny. Anyway, here are a few pictures from my date with the wonderful Miss Bethany last week. Enjoy!
