I got onto the project I wanted! Now I'm going...why did I pick this one? LoL Not really. I think it's more the shock of now being researchers for BLM and I get to be a mercury expert! That may or may not be a good thing. This biogeochem class has made me want to make a sterile bubble and keep myself in there...The flame retardant stuff in our couches and floors and such have endocrine disruptors in them! Our professor told us how he has a cat that liked to scratch the couch and suddenly the cat wasn't gaining weight. They took it to the vet and it turns out it was ill from the fire retardants in the couch foam -- the endocrine disruptors! It was causing the cats metabolism to go funky and it took the cat years to gain the weight it lost back. They say they now keep the cat away from the furniture. That's kind of scary...I mean, seriously, it's a wonder we even live to adulthood with all the chemicals everywhere. LoL The project should be pretty interesting and I'm excited to go see the place.
We're almost down to finals. I've turned in 1 paper, have another one 99% finished (might do one final, final read through), and my 3rd and last is about 95% complete. We get our econ take home final tomorrow after class and next Thursday is our 202 final. I'm really excited to NOT have classes next week. I'm also SO happy I don't have anymore 8am classes! Those classes were seriously killing me towards the end. It's really sad when 8:30am feels like sleeping in and 9:30 makes you feel like the morning is gone. LoL I'm also glad next quarter means I have a lighter school lecture load. No more 5 hours of class in one day all in a row or anything!
Well, with that...Time for an early bed. I'm fighting off something...I also had a nose bleed yesterday, which was weird. I think it's just dry here (it's been super windy).
