EcoTech & Other Random Things

I was watching the Science channel at Tom’s last night and they had this really cool show on called EcoTech. The one segment was talking about these really cool strucutures called Earthships.  It’s really cool how they make the foundation or outer structure out of tires.  What isn’t cool is the $450,000 price tag on one of them.  But yeah, I’d love to live in one if I had the money to, not to mention they look so cool inside.

Ohio is amazing, seriously.  One minute there’s 2 feet of snow on the ground, the next it’s 45° and raining.  Tomorrow there’s supposed to be snow, after it gets done raining of course.  I was thinking about that earlier, I wonder if I would miss not having a winter with snow if I would move to a state that was pretty warm all year round.  When I was younger I absolutely hated the snow, but the older I get the more I love it.  It’s so hard for me to picture growing up without ever seeing snow!

The Dark Knight came out today and Tom went and bought it in BluRay, and it looks amazing.  We only watched the first half hour or so of it before he put in Wall-E for me since I’ve yet to see it since it’s been out on DVD (we went to see it in theaters).  For some reason I want to see Four Christmases, I know it’s a holiday movie and they are hardly ever good (except for those select few like Home Alone) but it actually looks half way decent.

Oh and my organic chemistry class?  I passed it…but barely.  I’ll probably retake it at some point just to bring my GPA up so I don’t have that…wonderful grade on my transcript.  I managed to get an okay grade (by my standards) in Mollecular and Cellular Biology and a B in my Enviromental Philosophy class.  I really hope to get an A in the grant writing class I’m taking now.  I actually really enjoy it, other than the Native American class I took this grant writing is probably my favorite.

Breathe

I’m able to breathe again.  I never thought I would make it through these last 3 weeks of classes, but I did!  I even managed to get a B on a huge lab report that I had for my Mollecular and Cellular biology class.  I honestly thought I was going to get an F on it, but I actually did pretty decent.  I took my last final today and now I have 100% nothing to do for the next week.  Well, except for stress about how I did and if I passed everything.  It was so nice getting home today and not having to do anything.  I caught up on some episodes of Gossip Girl that I had DVR-D (shut up, it’s my guilty pleasure) and finally got a chance to put some clothes away and clean up a little bit.  Plus I’m blogging, so that’s always a good thing!

Where have you been?

Projects and finals have completely taken over my life.  For the past two and a half weeks I have done nothing except work on stuff and attempt to study.  In 26 hours though I’ll finally be done for the first part of this semester!  I plan on doing absolutely nothing over Thanksgiving break except for shopping a little bit and maybe attempting to get some cleaning done.

Starbucks has a drink, Salted Hot Chocolate, it actually sounds really good.  The bad part?  It’s over 500 calories for a medium (or a venti in Starbucks lingo).  That’s just so many calories, for a drink!  I am thinking I may cave in though and get one, maybe once I finish up with finals tomorrow.
