I don't know if this is because of the amount(s) of money I've dumped into my car lately, if it's because the state of Indiana decided to inform me that I can now reinstate my license (never knowing it was...uninstated), or if it's because I've found myself completely mentally overwrought with a plethora of emotions and academic studies...or that I ( Read more... )

After five long - agonizing - months of driving someone else's car, and having gone through one week of agonizing - excruciating - car shopping, persistence has finally paid off. I am now the proud owner of a 2000 Ford Taurus LX; 110000k miles, and power everything (except for the seats). The good news is that the only things that need done to it ( Read more... )

As most of you probably don't know I had my (first) cadaver observation today in my A&P lab. There were two cadavers: a male (60-70 years; died of cancer), and a female (60-70; died of...natural causes?). The skin was peeled off on some areas (the back, an arm, part of the leg, and the chest), and I got to see some muscles, bones, ribs, spine, ( Read more... )

Year 3, day 1. Today has fallen in line perfectly with the previous two years of college. The hilarity started before my classes, really, but it only gets interesting when the rubber meets the road. I left my house at 820, giving me the better part of 40 minutes to get lost, sit in on the wrong class for the syllabus, stop and talk to someone I ( Read more... )

If you're like me, you have activity induced asthma, and your PE class does not agree with the particular luck (or misfortune) of your respiratory system. If you're anything like me, you have a grandmother who is willing to give you everything she has lying around (3 spare inhalers) in attempt to help you in - not any way - every way you need it, ( Read more... )

I just got out of my Child Development class. We're in the chapter which talks about mental and cognitive development beginning at an early age. Dr. Ganapathy introduced us to the terms related to this chapter on Tuesday, and we had a review this morning. Two of the terms which we're focusing on are called "Adaptation" and "Accommodation". The ( Read more... )

I realize I have only posted at bizarre and frustrating intervals. To delete the journal? Or preserve it for sentimental days, and, for security purposes, should I ever need to be clandestine about indirect (or direct) accusations against someone I believe would be reading my journal. Not much of a journal at that point, is it? I guess I can allay ( Read more... )

I'm sitting here at my boring desk job at work, absolutely aching to go home and eat some food, and nap. I am freakishly sleepy, so I decided to post to LJ since it's been a while...nine days? I just wanted to tell everyone to thank God for an epiglottis every time you burp. As the brilliant Douglas Adams once wrote to us, don't ask stupid ( Read more... )

I passed out outside of the Financial Aid office. Here's a tip, kids: Eat breakfast, remove your coat when you enter a hot building, and get plenty of sleep before visiting an office chock-a-block full of people who take amounts of money that can physically drive the air from your body.

I had four classes of five today. I have one class that isn't related to Elementary education. The results are in! Lets see who's taking up Rebecca's time for food, sleep, work, and relization of what she's gotten herself into ( Read more... )
