Howdy!
Today I feel like complaining about school again. This time, I will focus on a lab I haven't had much trouble with, my micro biology lab. This weeks lab required us to identify three organisms from an unknown solution. this required us to separate them out and perform a series of tests.
this would be all fine and dandy if the damned things would actually separate for me. I plated the sample four times while none of them would have separate colonies form. This sucks because each correct identification is worth 4% of my final grade in the class, and I can only get one definite identification, and two that aren't definite.
This bites.
Well, lets end on a bright note. I like archery. One of my friends invited me to the archery club this year, and so far I am having more fun in it than I am in any other club I have been in. I suggest trying it in your life.
Well, I guess I will end here since I need to hit the hay.
Cheers,
Eld

Few random thoughs
Howdy!
Today, I feel like talking about something I thought in class today. I don't remember exactly what made me think of this, but it was a really random thought. We were talking about ants cultivating fungus, or something like that, and I suddenly started thinking about how this one person was trying to guilt trip me into becoming a vegetarian.
This person is in a club I am in, and for some reason, he asked if I were a vegetarian. I said no, I eat meat. He goes on and asks if I cared for animals at all. This question made me laugh. If he knew me at all, he would know this is a silly question, because I absolutely love animals. I care for them more than a lot of people on Earth, I just happen to eat some of them.
Heck, I spent time over the summer in my free time between classes volunteering at a animal rehabilitation keep; taking care of the various critters they have by cleaning their cages and feeding them. This involved getting the crap slapped out of my by sea turtles, my fingers getting bit by pelicans, and getting pooped on by almost all the animals there. If I did not care for animals, why would I go through that? (no I was not doing it for community service)
Well, he went on about how I couldn't possibly care for any animals because if I did, then I would not eat them. This kind of hit home pretty hard. I had a dog for eleven years that died during the summer, which hurt just as bad as if a brother had died, and just the thought of someone implying that I didn't care for him is like a slap in the face.
Anyways, instead of getting mad at the guy I laugh it off as nothing. But it did make me think, why oh why do some vegetarians try to guilt trip us into living like them? I mean, I don't try to make them eat animals or anythinng, so why do they try and make me eat only veggies?
