In which I reveal my true colors.
I missed one point on the Cancer Bio final. No, you don't understand. I had 100%. 100% on every homework, 100% on the midterm, 100% on my paper and presentation, and I missed one point on the final. Jaime's reaction to my despair is, "Don't be that person," but! One point! Nooooo.
For the rest of my life, I will never, ever forget that alkylating and platinating agents are not phase-specific.
Physiology final scores are back as well. I was having issues logging into the grade site with my lab computer, and I really wanted to know how I did (as I wasn't sure if I'd managed to eke out enough points to finish with over 90% in the class), so Jaime logged in as me from his lab. And told me my score. And I was skeptical. And he sent me this:
Big, I know, but I wanted to keep my reaction in the IM window in there. See that final score at the bottom? Yeah. I have no idea how I did that. I've since looked at the site with my lappy, and it's true. Somehow, I scored myself a 100. I still don't know if I believe it.
I have one final left. Jaime says if it was him, he'd be content knowing that his GPA would be okay no matter how he did in the third class. I, on the other hand, have decided that this means the bar has been set and I have to absolutely kick ass on my last final. Ah, school. And here I thought my perfectionist tendencies had faded with age.
Shifting gears here, has anyone else seen the Rodarte for Target lookbook? I first caught it on Project Rungay (which also recently posted this delicious editorial - you're welcome). I have to say, it's more appealing to me than the other big-designer-for-Target lines have been, even if the ice blue dress with leopard print belt makes me think of Robert's Banana Republic design in season one of Project Runway and choke back laughter. For the first time, there's even a piece I want: the sequined ribcage dress. Seriously. Sequined. Ribcage. So effin' cool. I'm not even sure if the cut would flatter my figure at all, but it's just such a neat design.
Out of curiosity, nothing to do with gift crafting or anything, of course not, but... does anyone know what sort of markers will draw on baked polymer clay and not smear with glazing? Sharpies and Faber-Castells smudge, and while Bic permanents will hold, I only have thick tip ones. Maybe paint pens or something? I have a different plan A, but if that falls through, I'm going to be scrambling for other options, and it would be great to have a point to jump off of. Any ideas?

Can't say I know anything about markers you could use, unfortunately. I've only really heard of using paint (like acrylics) on pottery, not markers.

I managed to find a marker that worked. I can't remember exactly what it was (in the lab at the moment, eh heh...), but I think it was Sakura brand. Very pleased with that.
It will probably get there late, but there will be a package heading your way very soon. :)
