Current Mood: Ecstatic

Hey look! Shiny! Why yes, that is in fact a Doctor Who mood thingy. 8D It's like a mood ring for your blog.

So, why are the Doctor and I so happy? I got a good grade on my Algebra finals, which I was sure I was going to fail. 8] Happy, happy, happy. Deliriously happy.

Anyway, I've entered the homestretch. The rest of my finals are tomorrow and I guess if I can pass my Algebra 2, I can pass anything. Bring it on, world!

Going on to bigger things, this means that I have only two years now until I run off to college. My childhood is slipping away through fingers. Why yes, I do have a Peter Pan complex. I don't want to face the real world yet and I don't think I'm ready to. Of course, I still have two years to go, but I know they'll pass by too quickly. Life is like that I guess.

Yesterday, my lab partner and I finished dissecting a grasshopper. To be frank, its insides smelled like Taco Bell and looked like it too. I wonder if the grasshopper (the species is called "lubber grasshopper" which we found later that lubber means a big, clumsy, fellow. Needless to say, we had fun with that word all day) is looking down on us from heaven (or hell, who knows, he could've been part of a plague) and is wondering at the audacity of us tearing up his body. But we plunge forth, through grasshopper thoraxes and entrails, all in the name of science!

We arm wrestled with the grasshopper's feet after we cut them off.

Is this what life is? We struggle and fight for our way in the world and in the end we shuffle off this mortal coil, only to find ourselves on a cold slab, our insides bared and mocked by highschoolers.

My partner Bailey couldn't stand to cut open the grasshopper and gave me the proud honors of slicing open it's abdomen, saying that she felt sorry for the insect and felt like a murderer. What a metaphor. Stealing a phrase from the Prince of Denmark, does conscience, then, make cowards of us all? So cowardly, that we are afraid to dig beneath our exteriors and see the ugly mess that is inside?

Which reminds me, I recently watched the movie Everything Is Illuminated with Elijah Wood in his younger days. It's the only movie in which I think he's cute, but that's besides the point. Fantastic movie. I reccomend it.
