For all my fellow science nerds...

Exam in 2 days means new blog now. If there is one subject I can pass it is procrastination.

I just got off skype with my mom and she said I have 2 months to decide what dinner I want to be waiting for me when I get home from the airport. Eggplant is my obvious choice for all those who know me, but she quickly jumped in and said that we will have eggplant on Mother's Day, after dinner. Which doesn't make sense, I realize, but Mother's day is my birthday so after we all go out for dinner to celebrate the moms, we're coming back to my house to celebrate me! And I love eggplant. And everyone will be full. So I can have lots of leftovers for the rest of the week. Really it is quite an ingenious plan. Way to go mommy Martone. The point of this story is that I am open to suggestions for my meal.

Anywho, not too much to report on except that it's raining. I kinda feel like I'm back in New England with this weather, I walked around with a heavy coat yesterday, a t-shirt today, and tomorrow it's going to rain. I really hate when it rains on Wednesdays. It's my outdoor drawing class day and when it rains, we don't draw :( It's my second favorite class - Italian being my first. Painting is slowly not becoming my least favorite. I have been getting a lot less frustrated with the course than I was a few weeks ago. And I have to say, painting a nude model is not as awkward as I thought it would be (though I am sure Kait would have a few giggles to spare). And Kait- it's a woman model because I know you're wondering.

I've actually come to a strange realization this semester. You see, I'm only taking art and Italian classes. No science classes. I truly thought this would be such a great semester and that I would LOVE the break from LB broth and impossible multiple choice questions on my Bio exams. I have to say though, I miss my Biology!! I've always wondered whether making the decision not to go to art school was the right one for me, and now I know without a doubt that I am a full fledged science nerd. This was also reaffirmed when Katie was reading my purple Chem/Biochem club shirt yesterday. After she read the "You know you're in Biochemistry/Chemistry club when..." on the back of my shirt, we had the following conversation"

Kaite: You habitually was your hands before and after using the bathroom?
Me: Yes.
Katie: You wish people a happy- what's that say?
Me: A happy mole day, and yes I do.
Whitlee: What's mole day?
Me: It's October 23rd and it celebrates Avogadro's number. We have a party too.
Katie: You have a party?
Me: Yup, with my Professors.
Kaite: Have you really sung a Kinetics song?
Me: Twice.
Katie: One more question, do you wear that shirt around school?
Me: Yeah, duh. As well as every proud member of the Chem and Biochem clubs.
Katie: Oh...

After telling her about me being president of the clubs last semester, I officially solidified my dork status in the house.

Alrighty, tea time with Whitlee. A presto!
