Internet's been going sporadically; I've not had more than 5 or 10 minutes on it at a time before it goes off and I have to fiddle with things and wait a long time for it to work again. Last night, got 3/4 done with a download, and then it shut off and instead of just pausing the download, it switched and tried to download the 'your internet is not working' page. Lost everything that I had gotten so far.

Was looking at this polio book that had just gotten into the library and came up with a better research topic. Or really, more precise and such. I've got to compare the treatment progress and social effects of the polio pandemic to AIDS. It was just an 'aha' thing, but I've been thinking about it and I think it would work. Because before I had no idea where to go.

Note to self: while licking the power cord before sticking it into the laptop does fix the not-charging problem, it is probably detrimental to your health in the long run.

Spent a long time today in english class explaining different heart rhythms. Because I was wearing the shirt I got from the dude at the science center for discussing the AEDs, and somebody wanted to know where I got it from. So I explained. And then Rachel wanted to know exactly what was bad about the AEDs. So I explained. Though I think not much of it made sense to her. It made sense to me, though.

Played on the www.trauma.org moulages in History when I should have been doing the plan of investigation for the project. But that ended up being okay, as I only came up with the idea that I'm actually using around 7ish tonight.

Got a bio test, but I'm pretty sure that I can just look over the functional group stuff and fake the rest. (I'm betting that this is going to hurt me. I've heard his tests are hard. But I think I know the stuff, so I might be okay.) It's molecular bio, though, which I'm not crazy about. I've got an advantage as I'm in the second chemistry course when most of the bio kids are either in the first or none. But this is also bad, as in chemistry, we call some of this stuff by different names.

Spanish test also. Grr. Grammar sucks. Give me a dictionary and a conjugation chart (even just for the irregulars, I can do the normal stuff) and I can write you anything you want. It's hard when I don't know what the verbs mean a lot of the time (which I need to fix), as I can't take cues from that when determining which tense to use when it's in a paragraph. But I don't think there's any of that on the test, just loads of irregular verbs and two relatively easy, yet new tenses.

I'm sort of stuck on the history thing. These plans of investigation are supposed to be a decent sized paragraph, and I've got mine all down in 2 sentences. So I'm working on xx_housecat_xx's Cameron/Cuddy meme. Just as a sort of thing to distract me from the history so my brain can figure out what to write for the investigation.
