The Educational future

So I was just chatting with my mom just now about colleges and swapping stories about how or what we used to help memorizing or remembering things. I use drawn out "it's-only-a-little-bit-of-a-stretch" mnemonic devices (actually, didn't mnemonic come from that Greek muse who was the representation of memory? I don't remember the name... ironically enough, but I do know it had excessive m's and n's.) while my mom uses brute force memorization because she can't think of these devices :(

The reason why this topic came up was because I was talking about how my teacher in Biochemistry couldn't really remember what the chemical representation was for ester and ether. Well, by "couldn't really remember", I mean she mixes them up sometimes.

Skip ahead past the colored font to avoid a chemistry lecture or something.

So the chemical what's-it-called for the family of ethers is R - O - R', while an ester's representation is R - O - C - R' with that C being double bonded with another O. 
Now, when I saw "R - O - R'", I thought "roar". There is an 'h' in ether, and so, I immediately thought "Hear me/my roar!" I was really excited with my 'find', but since it sounds kind of retarded to explain, I didn't say anything when I probably should have :S maybe I'll mention it tomorrow. 

Another chemistry thing is to remember the difference and be able to distinguish a pyrimidine from a purine. Purines are the 'big dogs' while the pyrimidines are the 'smaller dogs' (or at least how I visualize them. And I don't mean pictures of DNA bases are dancing in my head, I mean in abstract terms, that's how I visual- ...you know, this is already dragging on and on. I'll shush about this :B). Now, pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine, which you can remember as pyrimidines since they have 'y' in them) have a single ring while purines have double rings. I just ask myself "Can the outline of the shape make a valid  base for a pyramid?" Since pyrimidines have hexagonal shapes (since they're single-ringed) then they do! So they're pyrimidines :D If not, they're purines. 

But with my whole entire looming future ahead of me, I feel very nervous, anxious, and am just generally filled with trepidation. Because of the school I go to, I need to go get an internship and develop a whole research project. The problem is that I'm an extremely shy person (at least in real life. On the internet, with a computer/internet connection/monitor barrier to other people, it's much easier to be all social I guess, or something) and if I try and talk loudly or get people's attention, I promise you, I will fail. After all, it is my goal in life :P 

I feel like this entry is entirely too long or something, so, I'm sorry, whoever be reading this! 

I forgot the cool sign-off I was going to use. >:|

Good night everyone~
