when bands/artists get big,
melodiesintheair:
and people say, “oh, shows are never gonna be the same. it’s never going to be as personal and intimate as it was,” i feel like that’s a direct insult to the artist. sure, there’s the logistics of it that say that your chances of being in the first couple rows at shows go down with each ticket sold, but i’ve been to huge shows where i still felt the connection. it’s not about...

kellymason asked: You're right, I could totally pursue both. I want to be a tour photographer though! That would be so awesome. Maybe I will figure out a way to get that out of my system before working in the "real" world, ha. And yep, I'm a TA for Marketing 370 AKA Retailing. It's not too bad, but this midterm sucks to grade!
liveinjusttoday asked: Dude if you're up for a great documentary that will make you bawl your eyes out, check out Dear Zachary. It's on instant stream on Netflix! :) Seriously an unforgettable story. So many twists!

Biol 200 prof didn't show up today
Went into work an hour early today. Made some 1x WBB .1% Tween, made a gel, loaded the gel, ran the samples, transferred the proteins to the nitrocellulose membrane, blocked the membrane. Done in time to catch the 4:39 shuttle. I really like getting done with work by 5. It actually leaves me a good chunk of time to do things like go to office hours and read/do homework. Hopefully this will be more...

SEVEN TOTAL DIFFERENT CLASSES in 2 different times in 2 different general knowledge areas…. really? This seems ridiculously small to me. Whatever, I will just be a good little...

Lol the people on ratemyprof are ridiculous sometimes. You are PAYING for that lecture, why don’t you just go instead of making a habit of skipping? Lazy fucks. Ps, you aren’t going to med school.
People like this honestly infuriate me sometimes. I don’t understand how you could not take the pathway to the rest of your life seriously. If you are going to do something, commit to...
