There are some perverted people out there in cyberland. And I'm not talking good perverted. I'm talking sick perverted. Perverted like you wouldn't believe it. Let me give you an example (c'mon, you had to know I wasn't just talking to hear myself talk, there had to be a reason for my rant). Two days ago, this random guy IMs me. I talk with him, but keep it very superficial, because people are, as a whole, freaks. So he leaves and yesterday he IMs me again all excited saying that he finally has pictures up and his quiz is ready and all of that, and would I look at those? Now, only once in my entire "career" online has the pictures somebody's wanted me to look at been non-pornographic. So obviously I'm pretty wary, and I tell him that I won't look at them if they're pornographic. He responds: "No, they're not, I'm not like that." So I click on the link in his profile for the pictures, and while I'm waiting for the page to load, I scroll to the bottom of it, and when the picture does actually load, all I can see is the bottom half of it, and the caption, which reads something like, "This is a picture of a dead guy after he fell out of a helicopter and smashed his head in." And the part of the guy's head I did see was pretty disgusting. Completely freaked me out. Needless to say, I terminated any further communication with him.

Now you may be saying that I was a goof to be that innocent and to have looked at them at all. And I would say you're right. But I also say that if I hadn't looked at them then, then I would have been curious about whether they were good pictures or not the entire night and would have eventually given in and viewed them, therefore completing the circle. So there. Call me a goof, but you know you would have done the same.

Chagrin, n: Acute vexation, annoyance, or embarrassment, arising from disappointment or failure.
Much to my chagrin, I couldn't resist the lure of looking at pictures of somebody who claimed to be innocent, and then turned out not to be.

So the test for biology is in 48 hours. That means while I sort of know the information, I don't completely know it and I have to really memorize. I hate memorization. Complete waste of time. Until you know it, of course, and then it was worth it. But the getting to it is the annoying part.

ameliorate, v: To make better; to improve.
I will ameliorate my test score by studying every night with flashcards and looking at images of protista and bacteria.
