For Kiersten

I'm Obsessed with Augusta Audrey Gowen Manlove Brown

I CAN'T STOP READING THE FORUM!!!!! I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING AT "LOOKING FOR MANLOVE" And I really need to. Because I have a FREAKING MIDTERM TOMORROW!!!!! For a class that I really need to do well in. But Nerdfighteria is just too engrossing right now...

One more reason to love Nerdfighteria

This is just one more reason to love Nerdfighteria. John asks a question offhand in one of his videos, and people want to answer that question, so they start to search through genealogical records. The mystery deepens, and no one has any clue what actually happened. Ideas start flying everywhere, and become more far fetched. But still people search.

The mystery of Gussie Audrey Manlove also illustrates one of the things I hate about humans on the internet. People who post without reading what other people said before them, and people who say stupid things. Also, people who don't capitalize, spell check, or use proper grammar.

That being said, I am enthralled by this mystery and I hope that we nerdfighters get to the bottom of it.

On Tattoos

Well, not really tattoos, plural. More like tattoo, singular. Because I really think that it's going to happen when I'm in Kalamazoo next week. I'm going to get my turtle! And it's going to look like this:

And it's going to be on my ankle! Also, thoughts on me actually getting a tattoo?

My Morning

Go Back to Sleep on repeat.

Two twenty minute naps already.

Pacing around my room gesturing emphatically.

Making flash cards.

Exam later.

Want Sleep...

Alternatively, I'd settle for lunch.

How awesome am I?

95% on my Microbiology midterm? I totally pwned that test. (The mean was 80% and the median was 83%). Basically, I'm awesome.

...

However, I do have two midterms this week that I feel woefully unprepared for, so I guess I'll have to wait until Thursday afternoon to assess how awesome I am at school.

...

Or how awesome I am at procrastinating...

Also, I am currently watching vlogbrothers videos, which is definitely not a good use of my time. But man, is it fun.
