Exhausted
Wow. This weekend was busy. No day off this time (and no futsal either :( ).
I started on my CPSC 111 Assignment (last one of the year :) ) on Friday night, but it gave me a headache eventually so I stopped.
All day Saturday, I worked on my ENGL 110 essay. The hard part was the brain storming. Nonetheless, I managed to spend almost 14 hours straight on that bloody essay. And then I just spent another 4 hours on it now. So the draft is done. Woo.
This morning, though, I cleaned the kitchen and vacuumed a bit of the house. And then in the afternoon, Sarah R, Kaitlyn R, and Navin S came over and we finished our CHEM 123 lab prep for our lab this week together. Navin brought his model kit which is way better than mine, so I have to go shopping (because mine didn't work at all -.-;; ). So we finished that.
And arg at MATH 103 and again at ENGL 110. I wanted to get some extra homework done this weekend for them, but they haven't posted the assignments yet so I couldn't (nonetheless, I probably wouldn't have had time for it anyways).
*sigh* I have a feeling this week is going to suck. But hopefully, I get stuff done earlier next week so I can get ahead on my readings for final exams. XD
Anywho, I be off. Need to catch up on some sleep (stupid ENGL 110 essay threw me off...).
Can Collection
To start, I'd like to send out a big thank you to all the people at UBC that collect any inappropriately discarded recyclables from the dumpsters and garbage cans that UBC students tend to use so frequently.
However, on a different side of things, there is another side to that opinion after Saturday...
Asbestos and Chemistry
As stated by Wikipedia, "Asbestos is a naturally occurring silicate mineral with long, thin fibrous crystals. ... Asbestos is known to have toxicity. The inhalation of toxic asbestos fibers can cause serious illnesses, including malignant mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis (also called pneumoconiosis)."
So like, oh em gee.
"So like, oh my God. I am like, so happy you're like, here with me. My last boyfriend was like, such a bitch."
"Oh ya?"

Futsal
So, yesterday I bussed out to UBC for our first playoff game. When I arrived, I was informed that the other team forfeit, so we won the game 5-0. Thus, we won the game, we moved up into the next round, I got to bus all the way home again, and I have to bus all the way out again tonight for our next game.
But all in all, it's futsal, so I'm happy we get to play. I just wish the bussing and such didn't consume so much time... XD

So, tonight was possible our last Futsal game of 2009. That's a very depressing thought--futsal was very fun. Nonetheless, the score tonight was 5-0. And we didn't lose. Woo! (The secret is that the other team didn't show up. lol)
Anyhow, I kept up to date this week with homework and such. But my free day... ...was very unscheduled and I didn't get as much done as I wanted. *sigh* I guess I've gotta create a to-do list for my day off as well...
Anyhow, I'm off to bed.
Until next week.
Liverpool VS Man. Utd.
So I totally forgot to blog about this this morning, but I was up at 5:45 AM watching the soccer game.
Nonetheless, it was worth it. Although Manchester United was in the lead initially with Christiano Ronaldo's goal, Liverpool goals by Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard, Fabio Aurelio, and Andrea Dossena gave Liverpool a 4-1 win against Manchester United.
So Liverpool officially took one win away from Man. Utd. That brings them farther away from the title and us closer. We can still do it :)
“Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost (3/5)

Naturally Selecting Death
Excuse me for citing Wikipedia, but this isn't for marks, and most of the things I'll be linking to will simply be for definitions or common background information.
Natural Selection is a major contributor to the process of Evolution. Evolution, biologically is the change of allele frequencies within a population. That is, evolution is a genetic change of a population ("Wikipedia: Evolution", 2009). Natural selection is a process by which evolution occurs. Through natural selection, favorable alleles (that is, those that favor survival of the organism; alleles are simply different versions of a gene) are favored and succeed into the next generation; unfavorable alleles which lead to death do not succeed into the next generation and therefore decrease the frequency of their occurance ("Wikipedia: Natural Selection", 2009). That being said, death is what ultimately drives natural selection. Things that die become unable to reproduce and pass on their genes to offspring; this decreases the chances that future generations will get the unfavorable alleles.
