Wonky Nose

"If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely."--Roald DahlSee More

Sniping. (Read: Gleefully watching third-party software win an online auction in the last three seconds.)

Posted by Hannah Rears on August 26, 2012 at 9:46am 1 Comment

Let me give some background on the sniping situation. For AP Stats, I need the textbook "A Practice of Statistics" 4th/AP edition. Sounds simple enough right? Wrong. I'm a big proponent of buying used textbooks. It kills a little piece of me inside to buy a brand new book for a lot more when there are tons of slightly worn books out on the market. They just need a little love, some tape on the binding, and they're good to…

Skeletons with a side of Poe.

Posted by Hannah Rears on August 10, 2012 at 10:20am 1 Comment

The Mutter Museum in Philadelphia is pure scientific and medical goodness. I'm not a huge fan of museums, but if you're interested in science, medicine, and weird medical abnormalities, this museum is for you. My boyfriend and I went there a couple of weeks ago after visiting Edgar Allen Poe's house (I'll get to that later). The outside was fairly unassuming, and so was the lobby. The actual museum area was pretty small compared to other museums, which meant that the exhibits were crammed…

How not to fall off of lab stools (and other helpful hints).

Posted by Hannah Rears on August 8, 2012 at 4:20pm 2 Comments

This is a shout out to all those people who have embarrassed themselves in front of a bunch of strangers, or in front of a new class, or in front of a new professor who they are desperately trying to impress. It happened about a year ago: I was taking general chemistry at the local community college, and it was the first of many 8 am labs to come (note: I plan on avoiding 8 am labs in the future). It started out normally enough, at least as normally as can be at 7:30 in the morning.…
