Recap: Feuille

The amount of time spent per class, as usual increases dramatically with the arrival of midterms. This has been a particularly eventful week with what I hope was the longest Monday this school year (hope, since I don't care to repeat the experience, ever again. There's a certain limit to the number of hours I'm willing to spend at school, and this's pushing it).

There are other events too, such as the final arrival of our foster kitten, Rose (will post picture within two weeks, promise). A description? Of course. Rose is a four-month old black and brown, medium haired tabby found in a litter of four in an abandoned attic/roof type place. She's, so far, petite with ears still on the large-ish side as typical of kittens. She also has round, terrified looking gold-eyes, which slowly gets less terrified looking and round as I chant my text at her. Eventually she event went to sleep during parts of it (proving that 1. textbooks really are that boring and 2. that textbooks are actually good for something such as, say, putting a high-strung kitten to sleep). Though she did purr through the bit about oxalate ion during chem, much to my bemusement.

I also adopted five pea-plants from my bio lab, from when our group did the gibberellin experiment. We had the option of either throwing it or adopting it, so of course I adopted the one for our group (there were two pots of five plants each for each group of five people). My labmates are amused by my tendency to adopt plants. So where my parents, come to think about it. My roommates are, however, the ones who will have to deal with it.

Am mostly caught up in terms of homework now. Still have one more paragraph to write and one more chapter to read (not to mention another midterm coming up) but all in all, I'm making fair progress, I'd say. Before you ask, Lusine, I am still working on the story. In fact, I've the rough draft in long hand and if I can get to an open computer lab somewhere on campus next week I see about getting it mailed over.

Davis homecoming game tomorrow. I'll see about going online again (really, my state of contact has been shameful lately). Rose says 'hi'. (Actually, she says "eow", but use that imagination, folks, use that imagination....)
