K was nice enough to accompany me as I went to the bakery to place an order for a birthday cake and then to the store to get my gift to myself (and no, it wasn&#8217;t a birthday cake for myself!). And&#8230; just in case you haven&#8217;t noticed yet, there is indeed a new theme up (some new colours, a new header).<\/p>\n<p>My (plant biology) lab partner R and I went mushroom hunting and found this lovely large mushroom (and I&#8217;m taking large, the diameter of the cap of the mushroom was probably nearly 20cm!) and it was perfectly intact (until we cut a piece out &#8211; on purpose) and smelled quite nice. Didn&#8217;t take any photos of that though, because after we cut out a piece, it wasn&#8217;t look so pretty anymore. Plus, I can&#8217;t really capture the smell of a mushroom on camera (sadly).<\/p>\n<p>Feeling pretty overwhelmed still, when it comes to my organic chemistry class. I got perfect on the prerequisite review material (thank goodness! I&#8217;d be <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>really<\/em><\/span> worried if I didn&#8217;t at least get a decent mark on that assignment). However, there&#8217;s still a few more assignments (based on new material) and I&#8217;ve printed out 3 practice sample midterms (I have my first midterm &#8211; unfortunately in organic chemistry &#8211; next Thursday, October 8) and I suddenly feel not so great about chemistry (at all!). Especially since a lot of the questions seem to be more theory based (like&#8230; If X and Y occur with compound A, which item will cause compound A to reaction &#8211; please state your reasons). So I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;m going to be living, breathing, and sleeping organic chemistry for the rest of the term (starting now&#8230; only stopping to have flings with cell biology, plant biology, psychology <em>and<\/em> the <strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">boyfriend<\/span><\/em><\/strong>, of course!).<\/p>\n<p>But umm&#8230; Yeah, here&#8217;s my little gift to myself:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2706 aligncenter\" title=\"20090928a\" src=\"http:\/\/imaginarysunshine.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/20090928a.jpg\" alt=\"20090928a\" width=\"452\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imaginarysunshine.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/20090928a.jpg 452w, https:\/\/imaginarysunshine.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/20090928a-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2706 aligncenter\" title=\"20090928b\" src=\"http:\/\/imaginarysunshine.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/20090928b.jpg\" alt=\"20090928b\" width=\"452\" height=\"339\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I like my little indulgences&#8230; As long as they don&#8217;t occur too often.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Questions<\/span>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What is the last thing\/person\/event that made you feel overwhelmed?<\/li>\n<li>What&#8217;s the last little indulgence purchase that you made for yourself?<\/li>\n<li>What is something <strong>happy<\/strong> that you&#8217;ve got right now in your life?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><!--more-->My answers<\/span>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Organic chemistry.
