So. I've come to the conclusion that Saturday Night Live is about as funny as cancer. Really, I mean, the acting is horrible, and the whole show is basically commercials with four skits and two (often shitty) musical breaks in between. And then, during the commercials, they make little cut-backs to what's going on 'behind the scenes,' which tricks you into thinking the show is coming back on- and when you realize it's not, you're almost a little let down. And then you remember: the show is crap, so why would I care? I'd rather watch the same seven commercials over and over again than see one more horrible costume change or overacting 'comedian.' Who writes this shit? Do they sit in a little board room with a special humor-proof door all week and pat each-other on the backs over their crappy skits, which they clearly must read over and over again until the shit sounds funny.
I'm just saying. It's not.
OH! And while I'm on the topic of how much TV lets me down (no wonder I hardly watch it), I was really looking forward to seeing the Discovery Channel's new series on The Human Body: Pushing the Limits. It looked good. Nice previews. Unfortunately, they dumb down the intracacies of the physiology so much it's just barely enjoyable for me. They keep using words like "special chemicals" (when referring to sodium, calcium and potassium among other things) and ambiguous, almost incorrect terms like "a layer of fat" (when speaking about myelin on nerves with saltatory conduction). Certainly they don't need to get into crazy details like actin and myosin, but would it kill you to call the "strands" of muscle-fibers "myofibrils"? Say "sarcomere," call the "glands" which release ADRENALine "ADRENAL glands!" Christ! Teach the 'uneducated' masses new words, that's what you're here for! It's the freaking Discovery Channel, not the Discover a Little but Only As Much as We Think You Freak Idiots Can Handle Channel.
I'm just saying.

Anyway, I get on a plane in 6 hours to head back to Boston and then drive 3 hours back to school. And fuck me sideways, I forgot I had a brief and a midterm counseling to do tomorrow so I had to reschedule them (though I completed the powerpoint, I won't be back in time.) Going back, with everything I have to do, is not going to be a cake-walk. I certainly have my work cut out for me. But I'm ready for it- I'm rejuvenated. I think...
AND I finished all of my assignments which are due when I get back, which means I'm caught up in Organic Chemistry. The Next Challenge is keeping up.

Well. On that note. Sleep.
