Final grades came in today and it looks as though I maintain my 4.0 Science GPA for another term. :)
I'm currently in California visiting my parents. Apparently we are having a "heat wave." However, 99 degrees with a cool breeze is nothing compared to 112 in Phoenix.
I love California. :)

DIY
I finished my first term at ASU. I'm just hoping I got an A. I never know. I always freak out and think I failed. This time is no exception.
As soon as I finished my final, I went straight to Home Depot and bought all my DIY supplies for my apartment renovation. I painted my bathroom red, I just need some wall paper for one wall. I also refurbished a mirror that my friend gave me. I used a spray bottle filled with water followed by black spray paint to give it a splatter effect. Lastly, I made some rad coasters. Check 'em out!

I used $.14 cent tile and spray painted two of them black. The other two I used card stock, pasted it on and then painted on a coat of polyurethane. They came out pretty cool for my first try if you ask me. I'd like to make 4 more so I have a set for my dinner table, and a set for the coffee table. I'm also realizing these might make awesome gifts for Xmas since I am now an official broke student. Fun times.
Tomorrow I begin to paint my living room. Excited to finally get this apartment rolling. I'd been so busy with school I haven't been able to do anything creative.
Also, I'm going back home to California on Thursday. So excited! :)

Posers
So no one laughed at my photosynthesis presentation except for my TA.
Well, on Thursday we all gave our final presentations on various experiments we conducted over the semester. And behold! EVERYONE copied me. Everyone had meme's galore throughout their presentation. I'm like really? Way to be original! At least I know I set the bar. In the case of nerds vs. Vanessa, I win!
In other news, final lab grade went up yesterday. Combined with lecture and lab, it looks like I'm walking into my final with a 93%. So unless I bomb my final (which I wont), I'm pretty much guaranteed an A!

Nothing is more awkward than sorting through your undergarments at the laundry mat in front of a male stranger.
I'd like to think that if I'm going to let a man see my undergarments, it's going to require a couple of dates and some effort on his part.
However, apparently I'm a floozy and any dude at the laundry mat can just see my undergarments.
:(

Best Weekend Ever
This has been the best weekend ever since I've been here in Tempe...and it's only Saturday!
Yesterday after class my friend Jacob (my only friend here) asked if I would go with him down to the Phoenix campus to take care of some pre-semester errands/business. I had nothing to do, so I went along for the ride. We took the light rail so we could time it. I'll be taking Chemistry this fall at the Downtown campus, so I thought it would be beneficial to know how long it's going to take me. This was all around 12:30.
When we got back around 2pm we decided to go to the brewery down the street for some pizza and drinks. By the time we got back to my apartment it was about 4:30. Took care of some business here, then we decided to see the new Batman movie at 7:10. Headed to the mall and killed about an hour. Dark Knight Rises was almost 3 hours long?! You kidding me!? The first hour dragged, then it got good...And I'm just gonna say it, but Anne Hathaway was hot! Seriously motivated me to work out more!
Well, after we got out of the movie we came back to my apartment and decided to dig into the Irish Car bomb cupcakes I made for my downstairs neighbors. As an aside, I also have a funny story about how I met my downstairs neighbors I will tell in a bit. I have a complete bar in my apartment. Minus the tequila I need to buy and a couple mixers, I have everything you need for a good night. I don't drink on my own and I don't drink more often than maybe once every 1-2 months. Well, after eating the Irish Car Bomb cupcakes, we decided it would be a good idea to make Irish Car Bombs. The only limiting factor? I don't have shot glasses. I don't even have real glasses. I use 2 mason jars to drink water out of. (Times are hard, man.) So we went on a wild hunt to the various liquor stores in my neighborhood looking for shot glasses to no avail. So we got creative and used lids.
...3 Irish Car Bombs later and we got into a round of drunken YouTube karaoke until 2:30 in the morning. Finally, Jacob left and I decided I needed a burrito. This is drunken logic, and very good logic. When you are drunk, you always need a burrito. It's a fact. It's science. Can't argue with science. When I got home (at 3:30 in the morning) my neighbors were on their balcony smoking cigarettes and drinking. They invited me up for a drink, and i accepted the offer. So I hung out there getting to know my neighbors until about 5 in the morning.
The best part? No hang over, fully functioning, and churning out lab reports as we speak. Oh and when I woke up, I found out grades for the last exam had posted. Guess what? I FINALLY got a high A!
Dropped my dog off at the groomers this morning, headed to Trader Joe's to do some shopping, ran my errands, saved the world and all that jazz. Oh! And the guy checking me out at Trader Joe's totally thought I was 23! Thank you Doctor Perricone!Now I just got home, and my friend Alvin text me saying Nekromantix are in town and asked if I wanted to go. I met Alvin when I toured with the Horrorpops, he now works for Nekromantix as their tech. Tonight's show is Nekromantix, Lower Class Brats, Casualties, and Flatfoot 56. Seriously stoked! Last weekend I saw Old Man Markley. I've missed these shows and it'll be good to see an old touring buddy.
The only way this weekend could get any better is if I won the lottery. :)
