I was just reading an article about drug interaction with adolescent female mice. I would like to say that thankfully the drug interaction conclusions made sense to me, but the adolescent mice part kinda threw me for a loop. They did not state how old adolescent was for a mouse. I would assume, as with most animals, that their age span differs when ( Read more... )

About 3 weeks ago construction started on my block. The construction is supposed to last until just after Christmas. The construction usually blocks one of the two entrances/exits to my housing complex so it is a little bit frustrating when one of the entrances/exits only opens if you drive up to it in exactly the right spot. I spent 10 minutes one ( Read more... )

Happy Halloween!!

Today, as with all other Halloweens since I started graduate school, I have class until 10pm. Hopefully everyone else gets to have a little fun or at least give the kiddies some yummy candy. Have fun on this holiday for me and well of course for yourself too. :D

My garbage disposal is no longer functioning. No one need ask if I have tried the reset button, 'cause I have. I did some other looking around to see if it might just have something stuck in it or something fairly easy to fix like that. Sadly, it appears that the motor has died on us. :) If anyone has any tips that would be great, but if not I will ( Read more... )

I am totally fine but I am still in low grade pain. I was walking down the stairs from my place to go to practicum/internship today. I was holding things in my right hand. Not much in my hand, just my cell phone, keys, mail, and a book. I somehow twist my foot, which was in a heeled hoot, enough for me to lose my balance near the beginning of the ( Read more... )

I casually sent a message over myspace to my friend's boyfriend who had left a comment for me. I thanked him for the comment, talked about how I should try to plan a trip to see them soon, and how I hope that he's doing well. I make it sound kinda long but I think in reality it was 3 or 4 sentences ( Read more... )

This morning my tummy hurt a bit and I had a runny nose. Now it is a full blown cold and I am treating the tummy as a precursor to the oh so obvious cold symptoms. My boyfriend has been sick too but he seems to be doing much better now. We cannot blame each other for the illnesses because we have not seen each other in a little over a week, but of ( Read more... )

One of my classmates just got engaged and another is pregnant. Yay for them both. *huge smile* Big changes. One of our teachers said that despite the way our professors and all of the hype of grad school make it sound the most important things that will happen during our life during grad school is what happens outside of the classroom. Thinking of ( Read more... )

A lot of things have been in the process of changing in my life recently. I would like to state for the record that while some of it is totally exciting and fascinating other parts of it are totally draining ( Read more... )

One of my co-wokers became an auntie last night. Her brother and sister-in-law had a child after 16 hours of labor. I saw pictures of her and she is just so small and adorable. My co-worker is obviously very excited to see them today. I cannot wait until one of my really close friends or my sisters has a child and I get to be an auntie. :-) Hehe ( Read more... )
