Other: Speech Recognition

So I've been using Microsoft Speech Recognition to write my blog and it has been interesting.  Sometimes it understands me and sometimes it makes blog big mess.  I am using it to write this very blog!  I know that I can type faster than it, but it is fun to mess around with it.  It's not amazing, but its cool because 10 years ago, this technology was almost unthinkable.  Of course, it does have many screw-ups.  Here's a youtube video showing how bad it can be!  Video courtesy of Robert (thanks!) LOL

Other: Thunderstorm

Right now, there's this really strong thunderstorm outside. Comes complete with lots of rain, almost flooding rain, really bright lightning, and really loud thunder. I got startled by one because I was outside at the moment and it was close to me, making it extra loud. I've never been one to fear thunderstorms. I always enjoyed other people being afraid of them. This one also woke me up, as I was taking an extended nap...rain also makes me sleepy, tho thunderstorms wake me up.

College: Organic Chemistry

I went down to the community college.  I needed to speak with my organic professor for the summer.  I was a bit nervous.  I heard a lot of things about her, some good and some bad.  When I met her, she seemed nice.  I'm a bit nervous about taking organic chemistry 2.  If I don't gets a B, I don't get into pharmacy school.  That's a lot of pressure. I have taken this class before, but I'd nearly failed the first time and was getting a C the second time.  I feel so embarrassed that this is my third time.  It makes me feel a failure.  Robert tries to comfort me, but it doesn't mean as much because he's good at everything and I'm not.  That doesn't mean I'm going to stop though because I can't stand failure.  I'm not a quitter and I don't take no for an answer.

Movies: Sherlock Holmes

So I watched Sherlock Holmes today for the first time with a few housemates...it was pretty amusing. What annoyed me was the fact that they had to make him more epic than he had been. Not only was he smart as a whip, but he was a master at kicking ass too??? Seriously, he was already too epic to need the badass angle.

I must say tho, I did very much enjoy the plotline. It kept you wondering stuff. Like how Blackwood survived the hanging and how he got that guys gun to set him completely on fire. Of course, it was all explained at the end, but that's what kept you glued to your chair.

Rachel McAdams' character was truly an interesting one. She was fierce, cunning, and beautiful. What more could you ask for? I guess being on the good side is probably asking too much. I think I found it hysterical when she handcuffed Sherlock to the bed, naked, and placed the key in a very strategic place. But then again, she had that done to her at the end. LOL

I would say that was a very good film, though its not a favorite.

Introduction

I've had a number of blogs before. What can I say? None were successful. :( Looking back on my previous blogs, it disheartened me a little. But since I'll have a bit of time (bus time no less), I figured giving blogging another chance couldn't hurt.

Let's start w/ an introduction:

• My name is Jackie. It's a nickname for Jacqueline (spelt the proper way thankyouverymuch)
• I'm 20 years old. I'll be 21 on August 1st (woot!)
• I'm in college (not gonna say where). I get to live on my own.
• I was born in Brooklyn, New York, but I moved away before my tenth birthday (not gonna say to where).
• I have a younger brother. He's twelve.
• I like cats. My brother likes dogs. My parents like to spoil my brother. Guess what kind of pet my family has...
• I like to stay up late and sleep in in the mornings.
• I adore chocolate. It's my absolute favorite food, though I have felt sick from eating too much of it before.
• I'm in a relationship with an amazing person. His name is Robert. Although we've been together for under a year, I can say that I love him very much.
• I hope to become a pharmacist. I got accepted to pharmacy school this year. :D
• Why am I blogging again after so many failures? Cause I want a fairly successful blog...that and I can't stand failure. Plus I'm doing it to remember things in my life because I can never seem to remember much of anything.
