Week in Review - Kinetics, kinetics, more kinetics, and some old movies
This has been a long week. A very long week. The following is a synopsis of everything I’ve done. Perhaps I’ll make a habit of this. Who knows?
- Spent almost all of Sunday at church and listened to morning, lunchtime, and evening sermon talks given by Steve Saint- author of End of the Spear and the son of Nate Saint who was one of the 5 missionaries killed by the Waodani people in Equador.
- Finished an inorganic kinetics problem set.
- Watched Harvey. Laughed. The one sentence synopsis from IMDB is as follows: Elwood P. Dowd is a mild-mannered, pleasant man, who just happens (he says) to have an invisible friend resembling a 6-foot rabbit.
- Spent an entire (stressful) afternoon trying to check and fix the exam for the class I’m TAing before sending it to the printers. There were a lot of mistakes, and most of them were my fault (which was the origin of the stress). All I can say is that I don’t remember what was going on when I wrote my portion of the exam, but I must have been very tired.
- Downloaded Kinetica2003 - a kinetics modeling program which was written by my teacher several years ago.
- Spent 20 minutes completing the portion of the assignment requiring said program.
- Spent over an hour trying to get stupid Excel to allow me to properly format the charts of data obtained from using Kinetica.
- Noticed a bit a blood in Rusty’s poo.
- Freaked out because I knew that blood in dog poo is a sign of Parvo and that Rusty was overdue for said vaccination by the standards of my old vet.
- Called a vet, was told it probably wasn’t Parvo but still needed to be checked, and set up a vet appointment for the following day.
- Went to “The Most Important Choir Practice of the Year” and was even more convinced that the music ministry at my church is awesome.
- Watched LOST at Jenny’s house whilst studying for a Cume.
- Took a Cume concerning kinetics.
- Renewed my lease.
- Took Rusty to the vet. Apparently, he has hookworms AGAIN. Got medicine. Also, spent way more than I would like on the visit.
- Watched Arsenic and Old Lace. Laughed. Decided that someday, when I’m an old lady, I will play one of the kind, sweet, insane old ladies in the play.
- Went to dinner with Jan (Sunday school teacher) and Cara (from Sunday school).
- Taught my three discussion classes and tried to convince them that they really need to study for the upcoming test.
- Went to Best Buy to buy a cable lock for my laptop. Discovered that the Best Buy gift card which I got for free during freshman year at college did not contain $15 as I had thought for four years, but $40. Was pleased.
- Watched Casablanca for the first time.
- Slept soundly after a long week of school.
- Watched The Maltese Falcon.
- Finished an organic kinetics problem set.
- Wrote this post.
