Ended up working from 7 to 12 today in the Grill (one of the open-walled kitchens in the DC). It was very dark when I got up and Molly (if she woke up then) probably thought I was insane. After taking a glance outside of the campus at 6:30 in the morning (or 6:23, as my self-timed waking up went), I figured that I was probably insane too.
But hey, if you're a morning person, you might as well take advantage of it. I can probably work any shift I have time for in the morning, since no other self-respecting student would want to get up this early.
Oh yes, the kitchen I was in made pancakes, hashbrown, and two kinds of eggs. I never realized eggs could smell so...eggy when being cooked. And after smelling it continuously for three hours...I think I'll avoid eggs for a while now. The cook randomly asked me while working if I liked the music they were playing, which I had not paid attention to, at all, and it turned out that I had been inhaling eggs and listening to SWING MUSIC all morning long. The cook was happy. It was Benny Goodman or something, his favorite artist. He ranted and I felt utterly lost but at least I've heard of the name before. Then it's toasting bread and preparing lettuces and cheese for hamburgers. I was working right next to the grill which had open fires going on in it to grill the meat and well, I can honestly say that working there means that you'll never be cold, even if you're wearing a short-sleeved uniform in January.
Aghk, bio lecture follows, with a bio seminar. The teacher has a tendency to talk too fast... but I think I've reached a new level in note-taking now:
H-bond:, e.g., part. - of O => part. + of H, weakest of 3, V. impt b/c specl prop. of H20
Translation:
Hydrogen-bound: examplified by how the partially negative charge of oxygen is attracted to the partially positive charge of hydrogen, it's the weakest of 3 chemical bounds, and VERY important because it gives rise to the special properties of water.
