i hate biochem lab, and the google frenzy
well here i am at school library computer waiting for biochem lab to start. 45 minutes till it does. I am so tired of that class. We have a graduate student for a TA (just like most lab courses, they are taught by graduate students) but mine is a new one and i dont think he really knows whats going on. add that to the fact that apparently even the coordinator for the biochemistry labs is sort of new too so i really dont know if it will get better this semester or in like 2 years when im already gone. i guess he thought being a TA would just be following directions and then getting us to follow other directions. Well, not really the case when we do experiments and things dont work out as planned. Almost none of our lab experiments have worked so far and every single time hes gotta run down to the office to see if the coordinator is there to see what to do. either that or he says he’ll just email us about it. sorry but i dont just sit around online and wait for email to come in all day. he also sometimes emails us at night around 7-9 pm. sure thats enough time to get things done still, IF you have nothing else to do all night. hopefully today will turn out good and i wont have to be all pissed off and frustrated when i leave. i’m reallllly glad this is my last lab course for my undergraduate studies because i hate all labs and i especially hate this one!
yesterday i studied for like 3 hours. my brain was so tired of reading so i finally had to take a break and stop for the rest of the night at around 3:45 or so. I guess i gotta make a more structured schedule so that i dont just have like 5 hour blocks to study since i cant even stand reading that long. well i can, but people always say youre not supposed to study for more than like 2 hours at a time, then you gotta have a break. So yeah i think i might put in some breaks with my study times so that i’m not just there huge hour blocks. later today i will be studying again and then going to the gym with maggie to run. hopefully i can even last that long because my back pack is so heavy today since i brought my laptop!
arisu’s birthday is coming !!!!!!! yes, arisu is turning 1 years old this month and i am searching for some gifts to get her =). I cant spend too much though since i dont want to have nothing to give her for christmas later. everyone is saying ‘just get her a bone’. well shes already got like almost every different type of bone available at petsmart, walmart, target, and even a few online stores. i’m thinking of getting her a comfy bed thing to put either in the gameroom or my room. i might get two so i can put one in each room for her. also i wanted to get her hamster in a ball thing but i forgot the link to it so i’ll have to find it again.
well i have a lot more time left right now so i guess i’ll talk about google. cause thats what everyone else does when theyre bored online and have a blog. first of all since i started trying to make money online and looking at different ways to i’ve been hearing a lottttt about google. much more than i care to know about. so apparently a lot of different places use google’s “Page Rank” to determine a websites worth or whatever. i’m not going to explain it here because its explained on every other website on the internet already except maybe adult sites. let’s just say that the bottom line is i’m so tired of every source i go to so i can read or learn about making money has to talk about google or complain about google or …. talk about google! and i could really care less about google because google is going to fall apart and will not last! Yes, that is my prediction for google! i dont know when though, but probably not too far off in the future.
so its not that i mind ‘informational’ talks about search engines or internet stuff. but it gets really annoying when i see people try to blame google for things that are happening to their ‘online earnings’. please give me a break. people are out there saying that if they lose PR or if google takes them off the listings for having paid links, theyre going to lose income and its gonna be a lawsuit and this and that and bullshit. well…thats just fucking ridiculous. i mean its like if a hotel made money from having rooms with awesome views of my beach and then one day i covered it and they tried to sue me because they were making money off it! sorry but google never promised you anything and its not their fault if you lose money. its funny how they think that google has to ‘report’ their doings to the public too. like this whole pr update thing, theyll do it when they want to! and they can just erase everything completely if they wanted to! the bottom line is, theyll do whatever it takes to make more money. cause thats what being a business is about, its about making money. and if them making money is going to cause you to not make money then theyre gonna do it cause they dont care about your little website. they can ‘act’ like they care, but if they do, it will only be because they think itll help them make more money somehow. i wish i could just make people stop thinking that google owes them an explanation because they dont and its really annoying when i see people complaining about crap like this and saying stuff that doesnt even freakin make sense. and the crazy thing is this allllll came about because of SHORTCUTS!! just another reason why i’m glad i learned to stop looking for damn short cuts all the time and just get the shit done right (whole other long story, lol). anyways so the ‘traditional’ idea , or from what i think of it as, was to make a website and sell advertising space on it. in order to sell advertising space you gotta have a lot of ‘exposure’ so itll be worth something to buy advertising space on your website. and in order to have lots of exposure you would make a really good website and then hope a lot of people find it and remember it. well, then came google. and google was like this blob and it was like ‘you need links’. and that will be the end of the story for now because i have to go to lab and write my pre lab real quick now.
