Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
As the name of this blog implies, I had a bad day. Lets start from the beginning.
I woke up early to a different form of communications. These stupid aliens were not only satisfied giving me a headache, they now have to mess with my bowels. I won't go into detail, but it was bad.
So, this morning was bad, I then went to school. I had a test in Physics 2. I wasn't so worried. I mean, the test was open note and open book, how could I do bad? Well, I could and did. This wasn't because of some crazy inaptitude on my part, it was because I didn't have a calculator. Apparently, Sheena had to do some calculations last night and needed my TI-86 to do so. She borrowed it and forgot to put it back in my bag. So, there I was, without a calculator, in a Physics 2 exam. It sucked. I knew what I was doing, I just couldn't, for some reason, do exponents in my head. What is wrong with me, everyone knows what [(4.0x10^-6)/(9.0x10^9)]+[(3.25x10^-7)^2] is without using a calculator. I'm just a moron.
As if that wasn't bad enough, we had a test in Cell Biology Wednesday. I thought I did very well on it. I was dead wrong. I made a 68%. I was so shocked that I almost cried. Every question that I got wrong was either a stupid mistake, or one of the trickiest questions that I've ever seen. They still bother me. My professor said that we could make an argument for what we got wrong, just that she wouldn't change the grade. So, am I arguing for her benefit? What the fuck?! Arg.
Then, I had to go to Organic Chemistry, which I think is made up. We're doing something so crazy in that class I can't even explain it. Basically, we're studying the infared spectrum of organic molecules. Each functional group on a molecule codes for a different portion in the spectrum, but it can be changed by the presence of other functional groups. So, we have to figure out what a molecule is by its IR spectra, it's fucking insane! You would think that maybe the molecule is an alcohol, but it's NOT! You know why? Because the -OH functional group has a peak at 3200 and not 3100, or because that -OH group has another peak going off it to make it a keytone! When he told us something in class, that made no sense to me, I actually told him that he was making it up as he went along. Maybe not the best thing to tell the person who is grading your exams.
I spent 6 hours at work calling people and telling them about the difference of the Xbox 360 and the Xbox 3-Shitty. Out of 93 people that I got ahold of, only 1 person chose the Xbox 3-shitty rather than the Xbox 360. Almost 1 out of 100. Microsoft should see these numbers. I bet some people won't have a choice when all they can find the the Xbox 3-shitty. I realized today that I would never be a telemarketer, and I hate Jeremy. He's having so much fun at conference. No he didn't get to play a Xbox 360, but he did recieve almost $300 worth of free stuff. Damnit!
Well, I'm going to put this day to an end and go watch Star Trek, good old Captain Picard won't disappoint me.

Your literary allusions surpass my song lyric use in everyday conversation in awesomeness, way to go.
