That’s G February 20th
Today I should be doing work because I have a lab report due on Monday, and our first exam in physical chemistry is on Thursday. Instead I’ve just gone out for a run, traveled to the post office with my roommate and friend, went to Friendly’s with my (fraternity) brother, and now we are in the chemistry computer cluster not doing work. She is currently Farmvilling. I am obviously writing this.
I am not doing my lab report because my data does not look like the examples in the textbook or the handouts, so I don’t know how to analyze it. Will, the TA, hasn’t emailed me back. I told him I would email him on Thursday or Friday. I emailed him on Friday. Granted, it was at 10:30 at night on Friday, but still. I didn’t tell a lie. But now I can’t do my lab report because I don’t know what’s happening at all. Also, Excel for Mac doesn’t appear to have the data analysis tool that he wants us to use to analyze the data. My data is weird so it probably isn’t worth analyzing anyway. But yeah. Last week I said I thought the shit had hit the fan already. It didn’t. I was fine. But it may have now. It just may have.
At least my group for my education project is doing well so far. We have to teach a 50-minute lesson to our class later this semester. We are doing ours on crystal meth. Oh yes, we are teaching about drugs. We gonna talk all about its structure and properties and how it affects biological activity and such. Our purpose and objectives look the most well thought out among all of the groups in class (we post them online), so I think we are kicking some butt here. And the other science education group? They are doing an astronomy lesson on the solar system. I think ours is automatically cooler. I mean, drugs are culturally relevant. We win.
On Ash Wednesday, my friends convinced me that I should give up creeping on my crush for Lent, since I’m Catholic and all, and traditionally we try to give up something during this time. It’s kind of hard. I’m not allowed to Facebook stalk him. I’m also not allowed to linger in certain places where I know I might see him if I have no business there. It’s a challenge. But I was good on Friday. I didn’t creep on him, but I saw him three times throughout the day anyway. We passed each other on campus, and we waved at each other. It made me happy. Of course, it would make me a lot happier if we saw each other for more than four seconds… and if we would do something non-academic together at some point… we shall see what happens. Eilish says I’m allowed to have accomplices do some creepin’ for me, so maybe a little subtle investigating on my behalf will help me figure out where to step next. Or maybe he’ll get the hint. Before I started doing research for credit, I used to do homework on Monday mornings in the Atrium of the Life Science Building where he has a class, and he would sit with me afterward. Now I can’t do that, whether I was creeping or not. So it’s making me a little crazy that we never really see each other. I really like him. I just don’t know what to do about it.

Ahhh, procrastination. It’s like my second love. I would so have done exactly what you did earlier today. I say… fudge some data (maybe) and write the paper Sunday starting at like… 4 or 5pm, and study the night before. That’s what I would end up doing, although I would hate myself for it when I had to do everything at once.
Good luck getting everything done and passing your exam, and I hope you make better choices than me! 
I also hope you hear back from the TA soon… what will you do if he doesn’t? =/
That does sound like an interesting lesson! Muuuuch better and far more interesting than astronomy. Psh. It kind of reminds me of how my physics teacher taught my class how to build an atomic bomb (in general).
Good luck on that project too! You’ll kick the other groups’ asses. ;P
Oh man, that’s such a difficult thing to give up for so long. D: How long is Lent again?
I wish I were better at advice… I don’t know what to tell you though. =/ I hope everything works out and you two end up together though. <3 Make friends? Have coffee? That’s all I’ve got.

I just need to say that you have inspired me to give up creeping on my crush for Lent. Even though I’m not Catholic. And I’m a few days late. This could be good for me. Best of luck on your lab report! Procrastination FTW.
