My computer programming exam is in three hours.

I haven't slept because I took some Dexedrine in order to be able to wake up...and then took some more, just to be sure...and then it was TOO much Dex, and I was awake all night. Smoooooth.

Now it's 5:30 and I'm wide awake and have been up for the past hour and forty-five minutes. But I haven't studied because I'm too jittery and wound up.

Ugh.



Got a haircut yesterday, at least. And Christmas shopping for my coworkers done. Geeked for a bit over Restoration Hardware stocking stuffers, which I'm kind of hoping some of which make an actual appearance in my stocking, since I talked them up to Mom. (Click here and scroll down to "Tools and Gadgets" to see what I mean.)

Also found the December issue of SFX (the Who special) at Great White Games. I noticed some stuff behind the counter that they didn't have on display, so I guess next time I'll ask if they carry DWM.

I think I'll go to the school now. Maybe I can study there.

God, I don't even want to THINK about my Geography exam tomorrow. Don't even go there, self.

We're studying genetics in science, and in our textbooks it says that "index finger shorter than the ring finger" is a dominant allele in males and recessive in females.

So I checked with my family. My father has a shorter index finger, as do I (*grins*), as does my sister. Oddly enough, my mother has mixed traits - on one hand her index finger is shorter than the ring finger, and on the other hand it's longer. Weird.

Blood types: my father is A+ and my mother O-, so depending on whether my father's alleles for blood type are heterozygous or homozygous, I'm either A+ or O+. If my dad has heterozygous blood-type alleles, I have a 50% chance of being a rare blood type.

Which is pretty cool, as long as I don't get shot.
