memory = fucked

[tsukikage]

Ran some intensive memory tests Patrick recommended, and the general conclusion is that something is f-ed up, probably my memory, motherboard, or maybe my CPU. And that's why I've been burning so many damn coasters. So yeah, knowing how bad my memory problems are, getting some new memory is moving up in financial priority from "some day, because it'd be nice if my computer didn't run like molasses" to "okay, let's start looking at memory now, because DVD coasters are expensive". I might just get some really nice memory so if it turns out the problem was somewhere else along the chain and I'll have to move up the "get a new computer" priority, buying the memory won't have gone to complete waste. I really don't like the idea of buying a new computer, though... Partially for financial reasons, I'd prefer to just replace each part of the broom over a period of time than just buy a new broom. Brooms are expensive, and I'm crap at saving money.
My bio lab manual hates me. Why are the two trees I chose better than the other ones I suggested in problem 4? I don't know! I'm not even saying they are better. I frankly like them all for now, and it'd be A LOT of work to do enough analyzing to get more data on the likelihood of the trees, and frankly I overthink everything so it'll be even harder for me than for others in the class, I imagine. I looked at the BIOL 1009 lab manual when I was in Coffman the other day. So much less bullshit, and so much more actual biology. *misses pre-IB bio a bit* Seriously, I hate this damn environmental core requirement.

Intro to Geology fulfills the environmental theme, and if you can get Kent Kirkby, it's a lot of fun. And not full of BS. Of course, it fulfills the phys lab requirement rather than the bio lab requirement, but you can take it for just the environmental theme if you sign up for the lecture-only section.

(I guess it's a bit late in the semester to recommend it now, but...)

Pre IB Bio violated me horribly, idk what you're remembering but it sounds a lot nicer than what I had.

Oh, it was okay for me. I think I got an A and a C, or something like that. The usual "Nastassja's a procrastinating procrastinator" stuff.

I did every last assignment on time and got a C.
