If you don't know...

Now you know!

Its approximately 4:00 am and I'm about to reveal 3 random things about me that probably won't surprise you. Why? Because its early Monday morning and I'm home...and I'm not drunk. Also, I noticed that I hadn't blogged much in April, so I'll squeeze one in tonight.

So lets start...

#1

I'm up at 4:00 am and haven't even yawned yet. I had "fixed" my sleep cycle but it looks like its jacked up again. I've always been a night owl. I suppose this will be helpful as I really want to take the night shift when I start nursing. More money and usually less hassles so I'm very much up for that.

You're probably saying: "Hey dummy, don't you have class in the morning?". The answer is: Yes, yes I do. But, its just a physiology lecture. I had asked my professor, Dr. Patton, what my grade was after I took an exam on Friday. He looked at me quizzically and said, "I think you can pretty much skip the final and still get an A".

Well, that's cool, but not all together correct. I have to get at least a 40% on the Final in three weeks to keep my A. Hence, I'm somewhat lackadaisical about lecture. Don't get me wrong, I will roll out of bed and take notes like a zombie in 4 hours. I've actually been studying for a Microbiology test I have tomorrow night as well (it doesn't seem too bad).

#2

I once started a Chess Club in 6th grade (yes, that siren you hear is in fact the DORK ALARM). Again, probably not much of surprise. I recently decided that I wanted to hone my poor chess skills again. I haven't really played much in the past few decades, but I logged into Chess.com and just started playing against the computer. I've been doing OK so far, we'll see if I can get any better.

I've been playing online for a couple hours and decided to take a bit of a break. Here's a snapshot of the current game I'm playing. Granted, the difficulty is only set to medium. I tried to go advanced and got worked pretty bad.

As you can tell, I countered the computer's Reti Opening by trying to employ the Rauzer Formation. I will follow this up with Gamboa's Dumbass Gambit (FYI, the first two are actual chess terms, the 3rd...well, I'll leave that up to you to decide).

#3

I'm also currently watching a somewhat obscure movie, Miracle Match. Techincally, its just playing on my other monitior so I have some white noise. It also came in my Netflix cue so I'm trying to send it off tomorrow.

Its pretty good so far. Its about the US National Soccer team that upset a heavily favored and World Cup favorite back in the 1950's. I like these underdog movies. Its got an interesting cast. There's a pre-300 Gerard Butler (who tries really hard to mask his accent); Patrick Stewart of Captain Picard/Professor X fame for the nerds; Wes Bentley from American Beauty/Four Feathers; Jimmy Jean-Louis who plays the Haitian on Heroes; and Zachery Ty Bryan who was the oldest Taylor boy on Home Improvement.

Not a big soccer fan...too much goddamn running! I did score a goal or two back in peewee soccer way back in the day (my favorite part was the half-time orange slices!). But that ensemble does make a pretty good futbol squad.

Oh well, that's all from me right now. I have two tests this week, then Finals in mid-May. After that...its summer vacation baby! Hahahaha...who knew I could have my summer vacations again. Granted, I will most likely be taking Pharmacology in the summer.

Uh oh, I hear thunder...time to unplug the computer and get some Z's.
