Cleaning my room

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

Spent 4 hours cleaning out my closet last night; shuffling through old clothes, bottles upon bottles of bath and body works crap that your typical middle school girl collects, stuff you need for dorm-living but have no use for at home, and old school papers/exams. I spent a good amount of time just reading through old assignments/tests and mourning the fact that probably 95% of the material I've studied and learned throughout college has been completely purged from my brains. Like, there was a time in my life when I knew how to calculate the cost of maintaining a horse operation in hay and grain for a herd of 15 horses. I could once recite the geographical distribution of China's croplands and the principal organs of the United Nations by heart. I once knew how to determine what set of reactions would provide the best synthesis of cis-1,2-dihydroxycyclohexane starting with cyclohexene. And there was a semester of my life where I could identify and label the superficial/deep muscles of a dissected cat, affectionately named Salem.

What in the what.
