My Week, by Hazel

lea_hazelI finally cracked and got a set of science toys super-serious grown-up molecule modeling kit. I did this after looking at the semester break exercise in organic chemistry and realizing I had no idea how to form a Fischer projection from anything, my 3D preception is crap, and if I didn't do something about it now I would fail the test for certain. So tonight (hopefully) and tomorrow (definitely) are sanctified to organic chemistry and no slacking off. Monday was supposed to be sanctified to the second B&B exercise, but Dr. R still has not authorized any of the articles we chose. The deadline is distressingly soon, I really think he has not thought this through.
Social psychology was hilarious. Psychobiology was okay, it was about sleep and I know some of that, but I took pretty good notes. I am fascinated/obsessed with the idea that in a decade or two, psychology might be moved to Givat Ram and officially become a natural science (in addition to being a social science, not unlike geography). Genetics: the first lecture was totally awesome, the second was mysteriously bad, and I can't wait for the first lab because it's supposedly bacteriophages. The basic biology class is apparently for the benefit of people who took a science other than biology in high school, but hey, it's been eight years. How much do I really remember? Also, there is no lab, so I won't be dissecting a dogfish shark. Woohoo! Physics was duller than I could imagine, and also I did not understand a thing. Back to the MIT videos it is!
The comics are still missing, and the mail-order guys haven't answered out e-mail from last week. You guys I need my Wonder Woman fix. This is unbearable.
I am reading the first Scarpetta mystery, apparently with excellent timing, since they are making a movie and casting Angelina Jolie. It's been so long since she was in a movie I really liked that I forgot why I love her as an actress. I quite enjoy it so far, although I'm waiting until I finish it to be sure. The best part is I got it for 5 shekel at the Aguda's second-hand book stand. Second-hand books, they do the body good. Mysteries especially make good bus reading.
I am getting increasingly addicted to silly Facebook games.
