trp. [aka w.]

i need to start remembering all my amino acids with school starting up in the morning. so tonight james and i went to dinner and at claim jumper. i had the turkey dinner and james and i had a little talk about tryptophan. :] i think the single letter code for trp is w, right? oh man. it's going to be a tough semester. anyway, trp is the reason turkey makes you tired, and sure enough... we went to james' house after dinner and i could have so easily fallen asleep right then. so perhaps i have found a little cure for my insomnia? ha. i just need to be able to take advantage of feeling tired. but this time, i knew i had to be able to drive home... so i fought the sleepy feeling.

tomorrow i will get a little taste of molecular bio at 10am, stats at 11am, molecular bio lab at 12pm, then photography at 7pm. but in truth, i don't know how little the tastes will be. ha. i don't know if that makes sense... let me explain. it seems that the professors in my upper division classes just jump right in the first day. they pass out the syllabus and don't even go over it! this happened in organic chem and i was totally not ready. i used to just take one notebook the first day and write all my random little tid-bits from each class in it, but tomorrow i will have one notebook for each class and expect to take some notes.

james and i had a day full of shopping today. he needed some things for his house and wanted to stock up on food. we went to target [my second trip this week!] and then to costco. we had to make a little detour to the office supply store, but we didn't find the notebooks he wanted. on the way out the door, we saw these cute little mini pens. i am a lover of all things mini :] but i was trying not to spend money today. $8 later, james and i walked out with some mini pens. ha. i blame him because he was like, "these would be perfect for switching colors during class notes." and it's true. my professors always use different colors when drawing things out, so it's nice to be able to do that in my notebook.

anyway. i better go begin the preparations for tomorrow. and i am going to try to scrap a page tonight. a little something in my head. bad idea i know, but i am just not tired anymore. it's going to take me a few sleepless nights [and maybe some more turkey] to get back on a good sleeping schedule.
