Listening to: "Jue Jiang" - Mayday (Wu Xue Tian)Last night was the 1st time I went to an anime club meeting in like a month. I've had conflicts w/ tests and rehearsals, and next week I've got an orgo test then. And I might be president?! Well, the grad students and non-students could always take over when I'm not there (they're just not allowed to have major officer positions).
Yesterday though was a pretty sucky day overall. I am not doing hot in any of my classes, and I did worse on my Dante re-write (to which I say, "screw that"). I had another crisis over what to do w/ my life. Eventually I'm gonna win the battle over what my major is although I might have found a possible career in the biochem field w/o going into research: forensics. I guess my research experience over the summer will determine how things go. There were other things that made me upset, but I won't get into it. However, writing another Firefly fanfic helped me vent.
Oh yeah, I know my ramblings over my orgo poster probably confused y'all, but here's just a little background. Absinthe, aka "The Green Fairy," is a very strong alcoholic drink made of herbs that's colored a bright green. It's known to cause hallucinations (remember the scene in Moulin Rouge?), and thus is banned in most countries. One of the herbs in it is wormwood, and there are molecules in wormwood, called thujones, that what makes it toxic. Scientists are still unsure of how absinthe works on the brain, but an interesting thing to note is that thujones are also found in Vicks' Vap-O-Rub.
Bill's quote of the day:
"If he could right himself with quarreling,/Some of us would lie low." - Antonio, Much Ado About Nothing (Lie low, meaning keeping out of sight)
Have you met the Green Fairy?
