Got my project results today and I did grow stuff on my agar plates. That makes me so happy! I got an ID on my unknown pretty quickly too, which makes me a wee bit nervous. But it matched all but one for one of the bacteria and none of the others seemed to be close so I decided that it was good enough for me. Gram-stained the growth from my project. Only one actually produced bacteria. For the other two, the shape wasn't clear enough for me (or the teacher) to tell if they were bacteria. She seemed to think they could be fungi. The last one got bacteria, nice gram negative rods (they looked like hot dogs) so I ran a bunch of the standard tests on it, such as glucose, mannitol, sucrose, lactose, and many others so it'll narrow it down. I really want to know what it is. And if I have time, I might redo my gram stains for the other two because it's possible that I messed them up. I suck so bad at gram staining. -_-
I could possibly be screwed for the lab pratical exam next week because we have to do a gram stain. She won't watch us do it and we can do it as many times as we want.. It's the first time I've ever had a pratical exam in lab. I'm scared. Still haven't found out the results for my lecture exam. Probably won't know until tomorrow because the test doesn't close until tonight. It was hard. Lot of short answers. Those suck like hell.
Nagzilla (aka my mon) wants me to do a bunch of yard work here but I have to try and catch up on my school work because I neglected it over the weekend so I could play Kingdom Hearts Re Chain of Memories and watch the Harry Potter marathon on Sunday. She's like, "oh you have until next Tuesday" but I really don't. I have to recopy my lecture notes from last Thursday and today for Thursday but if I try and explain that to her, she won't listen. XD And I don't want to save it until tomorrow because I procrastinate enough already, thank you very much.
Edit: Why does livejournal keep messing up my fonts so my layout looks weird? *starts crying*

I forgot to mention, I beat Vexen on my first try last night. I decided, "oh hell with it" and went to face him and Replica 3.0. And I beat both of them on my first try. Firaga and 0 cards totally helped me win. I was getting raped by Vexen for the first half of the battle. I forgot that his attacks do so much more damage the second time. But I got my act together and beat the snot out of him. And I beat the snot out of the damn replica too. I totally forgot about my Roxas card for the first half of the battle. *facepalm* But it was much better after I used his card. The double attack thing only lasts for 20 hits, but it was obviously enough to finish off the replica. I also got all the way through Destiny Islands. Though I died on purpose the first time when facing the stupid Darkside because I didn't have the right deck equipped and I didn't save for a long time so I would have lost all the progress I had made. XD But I kicked ass the second time. But I'm not ready to face Larxene or Replica 4.0. Both of them are god awful to face! Larxene rapes me every time. D: I'm going hunting for the Xemnas card, which will help me win against that bitch. As for Replica, well, I'll just have to pray I get him. But that won't be for a while now. Maybe.

Current Mood: morose

I'm sitting here trying to get Chapter 17 of Burn done and it just isn't happening. XD It's supposed to be even more backstory from Zexion's POV. I know what I want to happen and it's incredibly important, but I just can't write it for some reason. *starts crying* It's so frustrating. I keep doubting myself and my writing and it's all because of the stupid reviewers for Identity: "I’m very sorry, but the tale you told was poorly written, and too unlogical-but-trying-to-be-logical to read fluently. Please practice more before you start blabbing about writing novels... Please note that this is not considered a flame. This is my critique, which would be wise to heed." Do you think I would just post something half-assed?!! I think I know how to write, thank you very much. I've had several writing classes and I fucking know how to write. I'm not perfect, but I'm at least a bit good. Why are there so many stupid people in the world and why do I keep attracting them??! I know that what this person says isn't true, so why do I keep letting myself get down because of their words?! I know I shouldn't let it get to me, but it's really hard.

Watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on ABC Family. It's almost over, but the Chamber of Secrets is up next. I LOVE Harry Potter!!!!!! It's so freaking awesome. And the movies are really good too. They did a very good job of translating the book to the big screen. A lot of movies that were made from books don't turn out good at all. But this is one of the rare ones that actually turned out good. I think they also did a really good job with Lord of the Rings and Twilight.

Ahh, I always love watching the first movie because the kids are all so young and it's just so funny. Daniel Radcliffe's voice hasn't broken out so he sounds so young. And in the second movie, his voice is so much deeper. It's a really big change. Heh, I'm exactly the same age as all of them. So I'm growing up with them. Kinda neat, really.

I've been so depressed lately. And tired. Like really tired. I'm thinking I might have to start taking iron again. I'm taking a multivitamin and fish oil, but neither of them seem to help me very much. I was taking an iron supplement because I didn't eat meat so my iron counts were low. But I stopped taking the iron supplement after I stopped being a vegitarian (that's a long story). But I've just been so tired lately that I think it's a good idea to start taking a supplement again.

Current Mood: crappy

I finally got to play Kingdom Hearts Re Chain of Memories for the first time in several weeks. Played for four hours last night. I got through Traverse Town, Olympus Colliseum, Wonderland, Halloweentown, and most of Agrabah. In that order too. I had the worst luck in the world. I swear. My deck was incredibly crappy, I got my ass handed to me by cards, and I couldn't get any door cards I needed. It doesn't help that I'm playing  this on Proud Mode. Don't ask me why I chose this particular mode.

I brought my agar plates in to be incubated. I'll pick them up on Tuesday and see if I get any growth. Actually, I already have a bit of growth on my control plate. Which amuses me to no end. It didn't even need to be incubated for stuff to grow on it. I'm expecting there to be a ton of growth on the plate come Tuesday. The other plates...all I can do is cross my fingers and hope that I get at least a bit of growth.

Current Mood: amused

I don't want to go to Microbiology today. XD Though I will end up going. I have to bring back my agar plates that I used for my independent project. The first one didn't go so well. I didn't get any growth. D: So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I actually get growth this time. At least I don't have lab today. That was Tuesday. But!!!! I have to finish studying for my Microbiology test, which I'm planning to take tomorrow morning. Gahh I'm stressing so much about this test!!! It's on Immunity (which includes adaptive and innate immunity), Immune Disorders, Pratical Applications of Immunity (vaccines), and Pharmacology (the lightweight version). So I'm stressing about this test a lot. It doesn't help that I can't get this fantasy plot out of my head which involves two of my characters from another story that have absolutely NOTHING to do with fantasy. Why can't characters stay in the genres they're supposed to be in??! I'm still trying to revise Identity and Dark Angel, which isn't going so well. Plus I'm trying to work on Burn, which is progressing insanely slow. I managed to write almost a page yesterday. The first page. I'm just majorly stressed.

Current Mood: stressed

My icons just decided to randomly rearrange themselves. No clue why. I swear I didn't do it.

Current Mood: perplexed

I've got big plans for the money I've earned for painting the basement at my grandma's old house. By my calculations, I've earned about $140 so I'm going to buy a Nintendo DS and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. I can't wait for it to come out!!! I wish September were here now. Well, sort of. Because that'll mean that I'm back in class. Though I am taking some pretty interesting classes next semester. But I'll have to worry about my ex-friend who might just make my life a living hell if he can manage it. If he tries to raise hell, I'm going to talk to my RA and if need be, the police. I'm not going to let him push me around anymore. He's a fucking bastard. I hate his guts now.

Whew, I'm back from a long weekend up north. It went okay...mostly. But there was a bunch of drama as well.

Current Mood: tired

Leaving today for a weekend up north at my grandma's house. It should be interesting, because it always is. Something always has to happen when we go on vacation. I also found out this morning that there are going to be a lot of people up there. My aunt, I think her boyfriend is coming, my uncle, my cousin, his wife, their two very young children, their friends, their kids, my cousin's wife's dad, sister, her sister's son, my uncle's two friends, and their son. Whew! Plus my grandma will be there and my family of four. Oh yeah plus my brother's two friends. Ay yi yi. I don't do well with a lot of people even if they are family members. Some of them are not. Thank goodness we're bringing up our motor home so I can hide in there whenever I feel the need to get away from all the people. Oh yeah, we're also bringing up the dog (aka Demon Dog). He's like having a two year-old I swear. Just like a kid. XDD He'll be driving me crazy for sure.
But I'm excited to go. It'll be good to get away even though there's virtually no Internet access up there (there is one ancient computer but it's in the kitchen so there's no privacy) and I still have to bring up my Microbiology homework, but I'm used to that. I'm planning to work on Burn a lot and maybe even get some revisions of Identity and Dark Angel done. Maybe. But it's going to be an interesting weekend.

Okay. I'm going to pick apart some of the bad reviews I got. There are some parts that I think are good criticism, but other parts of the reviews are just ridiculous. Maybe I'm overreacting. Does anyone else think I'm overreacting? I can't help it. It just pisses me off. I refrained from doing this at the beginning when I first got the reviews because I knew I was angry and it wouldn't help at all to do this when I was mad extremly angry. If I get pissed off and start ranting, I might have to stop. I would like feedback. Am I totally overreacting? Okay, here goes. *takes huge breath* Oh by the way, my comments are in red. If you haven't read Identity, you probably won't understand this at all. My apologies. I need to rant though.

OMG the funniest thing just happened!!!

I didn't get up until almost 12:30. I was supposed to go to my grandma's old house and help with the painting in the basement, but my brother has sort of taken over that job. He's so much faster than I am and he makes me feel inferior. I hate that. The last time I was over there painting with him, he made me so mad I stopped talking for a while. I refused to say a word though I did make a couple sounds. So I wasn't completely silent, but that's okay. I still drove him crazy. It was kind of funny. He took the paint bucket over to where he was filling in the cracks he had missed when rolling the first time around and I was on the other side of the room rolling a new section of wall so I walked over there and silently grabbed the paint bucket and brought it back to where I was. He of course, retaliated by taking the paint bucket over to where he was and he actually held it. So when I went back to get more paint, I had to stick my roller in the bucket he was holding. It was amusing. And it gave me ideas for an AkuZeku (Axel/Zexion) fanfiction. XDD It'll be fun. I've never written one before. Even better, I might make it into a foursome between Axel, Roxas, Zexion, and Demyx. I've always wanted to do one. XDD And yesterday was my mom's birthday so her request that my brother and I bake her a cake and actually, you know, get along. So now I have an idea for a fanfiction based off that where Xemnas wants the rest of the Organization to bake him a cake and get along because he's noticed that they have a hard time cooperating. I'm already making an outline for that. Should be a lot of fun. Gah, I have to do some Microbiology homework. I'm always doing homework for that class. But it's worth it because I've got a solid B going in that class and an A- in lab. So...yeah. Gotta keep working on that.

Current Mood: depressed

I got 86 on my Microbiology exam!!!!!!!!! I am SO happy! I was worried because I wasn't sure on a lot of the questions. But I did a lot better than I though!! I was pretty sure that I had at least 70 points. The rest I wasn't sure of. But yay!!!!! 

Current Mood: ecstatic

Just got done taking my third Microbiology test. I'm not entirely sure how it went. I don't want to say I think I did well because if I say that, I'll do bad. So I'm not sure. I think I did all right. I hope. *keeps fingers crossed*

I'm still working on Chapter 15 of Burn. It keeps stalling and stalling. I hate that. XD I'm hoping that it'll be done by Friday.  I'm really hoping to get a regular schedule for updating this, though I'm not convinced that I'll have it done by November. I'm definetly going to put it on hold in November because I'm doing NaNoWriMo and trying to work on Burn at the same time will be suicidal. I'll try and get as much done as I possibly can until November and then maybe I'll try and work on Burn a little during NaNoWriMo but I'm not making any promises. And then December will mostly be dedicated to A Nobody's Christmas but I'm sure in between that I'll be able to update Burn. When January comes around, I'll be back to focusing on Burn. And I might work on Tattered Soul at the same time, if I need a break from Burn and I'm ahead of schedule. But my main focus will be Burn.

Gahh, I finally finished studying for my Microbiology test. XD I have SUCH a bad headache now. Thank GOD for Ibproufen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
