LXXXII : Grossness

It's my midterm week right now, and I'm half done! Monday was Biochem and Drug Actions (basically Biochem) and today was Biological Systems (basically physio, anatomy, histology, whatever). Tomorrow is a rest day, and I finish off with Pharmaceutics on Thursday and Health Care Delivery on Friday. ahh. This is first time I've ever had four midterms in one week. Even during finals, I chose my classes (or got lucky) so that I would at least have a weekend in between finals. After yesterday's midterm, my head actually hurt. So much that I couldn't prepare for today's, but I guess luckily the midterm was at 5:30pm, so I had time to study. Anyway, I didn't want to complain about midterm week. I wanted to complain about something else.

We got ants. A load of them. I was thinking about taking a picture, but it's too gross and they go all the way from one side of the living room to the other side, just to get to our trashcan. They didn't come before this week. They came on Sunday and we managed to get them to leave by Monday. And then they're back again. I think they love yoplait yogurt because each time I've thrown it away, they've appeared. My roommate and I have found out that ants hate black pepper, vinegar, cinnamon, and Clorox wipes. But we haven't found out how to quickly kill them with the materials we have right now. If they don't disappear tomorrow (we put the source outside), we'll probably have to get ant spray. I'm hoping we won't have to resort to that because cleaning that up is a pain, and I hate the smell. One other factor that might contribute to this ant attack would be the weather. It's cold! and rainy! and the ants want to be warm and dry, with food. Well, it's just my speculation because the same thing happened some years ago back home during the winter. Ant attacks right before or during thunderstorms. I don't mind that they're nicely staying in a line, but it's so black and our carpet is pretty brown. So being able to see the ant trail distinctly on the carpet tells you how bad this attack is. Massive. It's so gross, but when I go to the living room, I can't help look at the moving blackness.

So gross.
