Of course, the last chem labs would have to be really difficult and annoying. Lab 10 was about chromatography and took forever! Basically they gave me a bunch of paper strips and I had to put a dot of some kind of dye or color on the bottom, then hang two strips at a time into […]

I took my last final before the associate’s today, it was chemistry and I got 192 out of 200. That spells another A! Now only 4 labs remain and that’s it before I walk in May. I got something else done today, I forgot to take my reading placement test in the beginning and even […]

Yet another Sunday busy with schoolwork. I’m so glad this is nearing the end, or at least a break until I start with the bachelor or other classes. First I finally recorded my speech for COM100, then I worked on some chemistry labs. The “big” experiment today was to crush alka-seltzer tabs, fill them into […]

We’re on the second day of our cleanse and are just taking things easy. This is going to be a fun year, my mom will arrive in 23 days, I’ll be done with my associates degree shortly thereafter, having fun with crafts, learning to spin, traveling, loving life.

John of course had talked to the people there several times while shopping for birthday gifts and so they recognized him […]

I’ve yet to upload a photo but I managed to spin two bobbins and ply them, my very first 2-ply! I used some pink dyed stuff from yarn school and it looks nice for a first effort. Unfortunately the singles were kind of loose so that they kept falling apart during the plying. I better practice a lot […]

John got a cold/cough after we came back from Oregon. I thought it would pass me by even thought just about everybody in the office was sniffling. Well, now I’ve got it. In true form, it started on Friday and I’ve been in and out of bed all weekend. I’m trying to finish a couple more […]

I’ll actually have to make an appointment with an advisor to really confirm, but this should be my last class, chemistry. I’m really curious what kind of experiments I’ll get to conduct at home.  The class starts on the 13th, hopefully I’ll be able to get ahead of schedule with the communication class until then.
