Sunday.

The A/C is out in the library, which is making it pretty hard to study. It's in the mid-80s in here and a funky smell is starting to permeate through the room (I assure it's not me... although I really don't know at this point). Didn't get as much work done as I wanted yesterday, so I was back at it today. At this point, I'm starting to wind down. I was able to get MCB and Immuno out of the way and I'm working my way through Physio right now.

I watched the USC v. OSU game last night. And for the first time (ever, I think), I was routing for USC. I think it was a combination of things. It was the California loyalty, the Pac-10 representation, and the fact that I might hate OSU a little more. This has to do more with the BCS than OSU since they slipped into the national championship game and proceeded to be manhandled by LSU then Florida. So any calls from OSU fans for more love from the BCS better fall on deaf ears.

I was able to switch out my anatomy TA lab day from Monday to Wednesday. I was thinking about doing it, but it wasn't until another student sent an email that I was able to switch. And how did I receive this said email so quickly? Vista gadgets!

Vista Gadgets allows me to have desktop notes, a gmail notifier, as systems resource monitor, and a network monitor all running at the same time. I no longer need a program for each function. In its infancy, there were not enough gadgets and I quickly gave up on. But they have improved drastically and I like it. I read they removed the gadgets from Windows 7, so I'll have to find some equivalent to run my programs when I finally do the upgrade.

Also, I have fall in love with Firefox. I gave up on Firefox long ago, when they had a lot of formatting issues with web pages and that it didn't work with Windows Updates. Now that Updates is its own program, I was able to make the complete switch. I was dealing with having to open 3-5 IE windows to get a connection. Many times links and videos would not load or would crash IE. With Firefox, it works on every start up, I have no formatting issues, and it's much sturdier. Hell, it even has a built-in spell check. Well, it's now back in my life and I'm not giving it up. Now I can see why MS was so scared to give users the options to move to Firefox; it's just better
