Physical Science lab

I spent two hours in the physical science lab, and I now know what an ion is. This class is bothering me even more just because it is the one of the last things keeping me from graduating. There is a test on Monday, and I need to know the difference between ionic, metallic, and covalent bonds. As I read the textbook and tests, all I want to do is edit them. The writing is terrible.

One of the courses I have been taking during the summer is Physical Science 100. It teaches beginning chemistry, physics, and the periodic table of elements. In other words, it is the last general education class I have to take, and it sucks. At the end of the semester, I will have learned to hate ions, pulleys, and water, as well as other things. After my last test, I have grown a hatred for gravity, frictionless surfaces, and kilograms. I loathe oxygen, even though I need it to live. I now hate every element with a passion, and I can name each one that I hate. Over the week, I will increasingly loathe the concept of covalent bonds.

I've been working on a book for my last editing class. The class is the capstone of the minor, and I work with a group to write, compile, and edit a book of essays and get it formatted and printed in a concise book. It's a useful thing to learn and put in a portfolio, but I'm a bit daunted by the qualifications listed for editing jobs. Most places ask for two to three years experience editing, and my only advantage is that I attend a school that offers an editing minor, which is unheard of. I just ended that sentence with a preposition, and if any future employer reads this blog, I'm afraid it will be very embarrassing; however, I think that it is good for me to write something just for fun and not have to reread it and edit it a million times. I write too many things that I have to worry about the exact language and how I'm going to hook the reader in and write a fantastic conclusion. It's nice to just write short blurbs with atrocious spelling and grammar that I know that not that many people are going to be interested in.

As much as I love this website for allowing me to write somewhat carefree, I am disappointed that it does not provide me with my favorite seriff typeface, Garamond. Yes, I have a favorite typeface. I always had trouble writing the "get to know you" sheets in different settings because they ask for things like my favorite color or my favorite food, or even my favorite rock band. With these things, I have no favorites. I don't listen to music, I like a variety of foods and colors, and my personality does not seem to be dictated by all the normal "get to know you" questions. I have provided a list of my favorites:

Favorite typefaces: Garamond, Arial, Lithos Pro. Garamond is a plain seriff font that looks so much better than Times New Roman, Arial is my favorite sans seriff font, and Lithos Pro is my favorite accent font.
Favorite laundry detergent: Tide lavender and vanilla scent
Favorite insult: queer sardonic rat (taken from a poem I read, and now I think of it every time I see a person I don't like; I just imagine them as a rat with beady eyes that glisten).
Favorite accessory: glasses (Too bad my eyesight is too good for them. When I was little, I even wore a pair of pink sunglasses with the lenses poked out so that they looked like real glasses).

I haven't written on this blog in so long—mostly because I've been busy trying to graduate this August. After that, I don't know what I'm doing. I'll probably apply every place that I can and take the best job offer. I'm going to bed; I'll write more later.
