Well I didn't see BodyWorlds today. The girl who organized the whole trip for our school group didn't think she needed to order the tickets ahead of time. . .so we have to wait 2 weeks.
So instead my friend and I went to the zoo, then downtown (I found Ralph Lauren flip-flops for like $8!), then back to her apartment to watch a movie. We watched The Perfect Man. . .it was kinda dumb to tell the truth. Although there was a line that I can't forget. . . "love is friendship on fire." Or something like that. I thought it was fun.
Anyway, so I'm sure the BodyWorlds exhibit will be cool when I get to see it.

Just a few random things. . .
He's going to get a big head now that I've mentioned him on my blog twice but one of the best parts of my week this week has been reconnecting with an old friend of mine. MySpace ended up being very useful. We've known each other for years but lost contact the last 6 or so. It's just been very cool getting to know him again. :)
Tomorrow I get to go to see the BodyWorlds exhibit. I'm so excited! It's going to be so cool. The zoo is right next to the museum, I go again. Then I could see the tigers, I didn't really get to the last time. And I'll have to get a closer look at the lion cub.
Only 5 more weeks of school! Then I'll be done! I'm so excited! I know I'll be working for awhile but then I am not sure. . .med school was the initial plan but the more I think about it, the more I wonder if I want that to take 10 years of my life (give or take a few). There are other options: grad school to get my Ph.D. so I can be a professor or I could be a physician's assistant. I checked out a few different PA programs today. So we'll see. I could still make a pretty decent living but it won't take as long.
Ok that's all of the random things. I'll write about the bodyworld exhibit tomorrow. I'm so excited!

Racing
Have you ever just not been able to stop thinking so much? Like your brain just won't calm down? You go from daydreaming to worrying to remembering and back to daydreaming then worrying. . .vicious cycle.
My brain is just racing constantly (which is a good indicator of being alive of course but still); I wish sometimes it would just slow down and clear up a little.
Today I was trying to concentrate on my classes but at the same time had what seemed like 3 million other thoughts going on.
I already know I worry too much and I probably daydream too much as well. I've always said that I should write out all my daydreams (and other dreams too), put them together, and make it into a book.
Oh well, hopefully my brain will calm down a little and I'll be able to focus on all the work I need to do. Test tomorrow, big homework assignment due Wednesday....ick. Only 6 more weeks of school! Woohoo!

My weekend
So I ended up having more fun in the last two days than I did the whole week of spring break. And now I'm trying not to think of all the homework I need to get done before tomorrow. HA!
Saturday was a long day. My friend and I went to the zoo during the day. It was so much fun! I felt like a little kid. The day was so beautiful; I even got a little burn on my arms! (That still doesn't change the fact I am still white as a ghost)
It was also cool because my friend and I are both Bio majors so we were looking at everything through scientific eyes, discussing an animals habitat, adaptations, etc. It was so, so much fun! If I ever have kids the zoo is going to be my favorite place to take them. We saw a little gorilla baby and lion cub! Oh I'm getting so excited about it just writing about it! I decided that I'm going to give my bio lab students extra credit for going to the zoo. There were so many things at the zoo that we have studied this past semester; and it's just fun!
ok so after fun day at the zoo, I went home, got some stuff together and went to my friend's house to hang out. We got all glammed up and then. . . went dancing! Now I enjoy going out to a club from time to time but I really have to be in the right mood. Usually I'm just content chilling at home, watching a movie or having coffee with friends. But every once in awhile I need to cut loose. So last night I did. It was this fun club with 3 levels that played 70s, 80s, and 90s music (one decade for each floor). We hit all of them but mostly stayed in the 80s. It was so much fun! We danced to Madonna, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, and countless others. They did play music on the 80s floor that I know came out in the 90s, but oh well. :) Of course, when I was on the 90s floor, all the songs reminded me of junior high and high school, including Salt-N-Pepa. Ah, adolescence...
Each level had its own bar and we kept going to the one on the 70s, the bartender was hot :)
I also did something I never do: I danced with a guy! He kinda reminded me of Vin Diesel. It was fun and I got a hug at the end of the night.
So I had fun just hanging out with friends and dancing to all my favorite songs, not caring what I looked like at all. I could never go out like that all the time; it's too exhausting. And expensive. And the whole club scene can be really crazy and dangerous really. . .people getting so drunk and going home with people they don't know. That's why I only go out with people I know won't do that kind of thing.
So that was last night...the night before I got to talk to a friend of mine I hadn't talked to in like 7 years. (thanks to myspace, I found him!) We talked for almost two hours I think. I've always looked up to him and admired him (now I admire him even more). And we both share a love for the movie White Christmas. How fun is that? It was really awesome to talk to him.

Pat Robertson
On the message board I am a member of, we are constantly, I admit, trashing Pat Robertson. It's a Christian board and most of us can't stand the image good old Pat portrays with his calls for assassinations and stuff like that. So I was thinking, "what is it that makes me so mad about him?" So here is something I posted about it:
Tonight I was flipping through the channels and I saw a picture of the high school teacher from CO who made the remarks about President Bush being like Hitler...so I stopped and it ended up being the 700 Club. Well against my better judgment I watched the segment and it was about the "brainwashing" that goes on in universities because of professors.
He interviewed a guy who wrote a book about the 100 most dangerous academics in America. They gave examples of a few who did sound pretty bad....but it was like a select few.
The whole thing with the high school teacher was just a bunch of crap. The kid who taped the lecture went straight to right-wing media outlets (instead of approaching the teacher or school administration) and no one heard anymore of the lecture except the part the conservative media wanted people to hear. Most people never heard anymore than 20 minutes of a 50 minute lecture.
I went to a Christian college that really challenged the things I believed. The professors there would be considered liberal. Even though it was hard, I would never want to go back to the things I believed when I was 18. I was harsh, judgemental, and close-minded. I see the education that I got as a good thing.
Near the end of the segment Pat Robertson was talking about how parents can't let their children be brainwashed by the left-wing, Liberal, Democrats. Because that's the only brainwashing that can occur! He then talked about his university (I hadn't heard of it before) and I was thinking "that's where the brainwashing is occuring."
People need to be taught to think for themselves and not insist on staying in the dark about things. (one of my biggest annoyances is people who still believe in a literal 6 day creation but that's a whole other story)
Then I realized why I have such a problem with Robertson. He has mixed politics with Christianity and as something my history prof said "it ruins both." Throughout history you can see examples of how the government or kingdom has corrupted the church and how the church has corrupted the government when they are too closely related.
I think America is a good country in that we have a system of government that does not give one person too much power. We have a system that will not allow us to have a dictator (as much as people may dislike a certain president he, and sometimes she, they will not be president for more than 8 years). Ok so maybe 10 because of the whole vice-pres thing. Anyway, and if the president causes too many problems he or she can be impeached.
We also have the freedom to criticize our government. This is good if it is done responsibly. Of course, there are people who take it to violent extremes and that is not good. But we are not a country like Iraq or Cuba or Nazi Germany where criticizing the government would mean death.
However, even though the system of government is essentially good, people are the ones who mess it up. They take advantage of the power they have for the time they have it. Our economic system is better than socialism or communism but people's greed can make it horrible.
So what does this have to do with Pat Robertson? Well, what bothers me is he combines politics with Christianity and not in a good way. I think Christians should be involved in government, we should vote, we should make opinions known. But when it turns to saying that anything that is not "Christian" and every idea that is against the republican party is anti-Christian then that is going too far. I am convinced that the basic principles of Christianity were ruined when it became the norm. When it became too involved in government (and the line is hard to draw) and Christians expected everything to be catered to thier beliefs, the faith was messed up. I wish Robertson would pay more attention to the care of God's people by encouraging them, by ministering to them instead of acting like Prez Bush is a god and anything that is not conservative Republican Christianity is straight from h e l l (take that censors!).
Cause guess what not all christians are republicans and not all republicans are christians.
I'd rather hear a liberal professor talking about Bush being like Hitler rather than some super conservative praising Bush.
I'm sick of prez Bush. I voted for him because I did not think Kerry could handle what was going on and thought Bush needed the chance to get things done. Instead it seems nothing has gotten done. He said at some point he doesn't think that soldiers will be out of Iraq until after 2008! I don't think we can just pull out but we need to get the damn job done. We've put so much money into the war that things in our country are suffering....
ok sorry, that was my political rant. I couldn't help it.
Ok so that is my as well thought out as I could make it reason that I don't like Pat Robertson. I'm sure some things he says or does are ok, but as I lean more and more to the left, he is just annoying the crap out of me.

Cancer
In the last year or so I've been made aware of just how many people are suffering from cancer. My best friend's mom died in August of lung cancer. My friend connected herself with people who had different types and caregivers through blogs and message boards. I started reading some of the blogs (well just 2 really), but through those have read a few posts about other people they know.
One woman is getting surgery for breast cancer this weekend. And another. . .she's my age and just lost her husband of 2 years to leukemia. I'd only been reading her blog for a few months and he had been in remission after having a bone marrow transplant. It came back and in only a matter of a few days, he died. I just can't fathom how hard, how shitty, how mind-blowingly-knock-you-on-your-ass fucking hard it is to go through the illness and also lose someone that is so close to you from it.
When I was back in IL, I stayed with a family whose little girl had leukemia when she was 3 and her 1 year old brother donated bone marrow. Now she's fine, as far as I know. That was the first time I had heard anything about someone who had cancer.
My dad's dad died of lung cancer before I was born. Other than that no one in my family has had cancer. We've been lucky. Other families aren't.
I've been thinking about cancer a lot lately especially in regards to my future profession. As wonderfully made our bodies are, there are so many things that go wrong. I've thought a lot about wanting to do lung cancer research, especially after hearing my friends thoughts about how its the least funded type of cancer research yet it kills the most people. A lot of people take the easy way out and say "well, people need to stop smoking, then they won't get it." I've realized that's crap. Lung cancer is the only type people get blamed for. One thing my friend said was that even if everyone stopped smoking today we'd still be dealing with lung cancer for decades to come. Yet, as people can see with Dana Reeves dying (and never a smoker), it can happen to anyone and if it isn't tobacco, it can be something else. There are not many chances for survival. I don't care what the reason is for someone getting cancer it sucks, and lung cancer sufferers deserve as much of a chance of surviving as breast cancer sufferers.
I've also thought about working with childhood cancer sufferers. How scary it must be to have to be in a hospital for days and months at a time, so little, not having any idea what is really going on. And for the parents. . .wanting to do something for their children but knowing they can't. They can't protect them.
I think as a doctor, it must be really hard. On one hand, people are looking to you for help and as a doctor you've been told you're the one with the power to heal. One the other, a doctor is only human and they can only do so much.
Apparently President Bush is proposing to reduce cancer funding in the next year. I don't know any more about it than what I read on LiveStrong
There is a place to e-mail your state representative (or print the letter to send) to let them know you do not support reduced funding.
I can't help but think that I'd rather there be money for cancer research rather than more money for the war in Iraq. But that's a whole other story. Of course maybe we can get rich people to give to cancer research and maybe even give the money they use for a "fundraiser" to help (it cracks me up they have to have a party or an auction or something to make giving thousands of dollars away more fun or worthwhile)
It seems that now I've been thinking about all this, I can't ignore it. And if I can be a doctor or even get a grad degree in cancer biology then maybe I can contribute something. I guess we'll see.

spring break
well this week is spring break. today i sat around doing nothing and didn't have to feel bad about it! I do have some studying and homework to do this week but mostly I need to work. I need to call the temp agency I worked through last summer to see if there's any chance of getting some work. I can make a whole lot more money than I would just working at the school.
I can already tell I'm bored though. I've already rented and watched two movies. I don't have a lot of money so I can't rent any more.
Maybe I . . .could go to the mountains, or read a book...or study my ass off for my embryo test that I was supposed to take before break but I didn't because of my teeth problem. I have no excuse to not do really well. We'll see.
Ok back to watching Office Space. It's funny.

Vicodin
I'm not sure if I mentioned it but I had a tooth that was bothering me very badly. It was a tooth I had a root canal in. It turned a funky color and there was a bump near my gum. . .so I had a dentist appt scheduled for Friday but by Wednesday morning it was a lot worse. My jaw was all swollen and I was in major pain. I called the office and asked if they could get me in right away and they could. The doctor only had to look at it for a second and was like, "that's gotta come out now." I had to go to another dentist right away to get it removed. For the most part it was ok, I could hande it but there were a few times I wanted to scream and just die right there.
I got a prescription for Vicodin. I took one yesterday afternoon and felt fine. It took the edge off the pain for a bit and I went and studied with a friend. Then last night I took 2 before bed. I felt that crap kick in and even though I was laying down I felt like I was going to fall over. I didn't sleep well either. Then this morning I made the mistake of taking one before class. I figured that one didn't really do much to me yesterday so I should be fine. I couldn't keep my eyes open. I felt like I was just going to pass out. So I went home and went to bed. I still feel kinda yucky. But now my tooth is starting to hurt again (or the gaping hole in my gum, rather). Oh well. I don't want to take anymore of that medicine. Of course, it would just knock me out and I could spend the day in bed. That would be fun. I've already missed school everyday this week except Monday. And one class this morning.
Oh and to top it all off, I'm probably going to end up losing two more teeth and wisdom teeth. Wonderful! I'll have to keep the Vicodin handy.

For the next year
So my landlord demanded that we let him know 2 months ahead of time if we're staying or going. It's irritating. I mean, we have no idea if we'd find something we like. . .
Truth be told I wouldn't mind staying if this place was better. I don't really want to move again but this house sucks. The bathroom is tiny, it needs painted, the microwave sucks. . .it does have a big backyard that I am thinking of asking if I can do something with. There's room to be able to plant some vegetables. ..or even flowers. Knowing the guy though, he'll be like "no, I like the crappy ugly overgrown crap in the backyard."
I don't like the neighborhood either. But I also can't afford to live by myself and there's no one else I'd want to live with. One roommate is definitely going to stay, the other one is still thinking about it, I think. I like my roommates. . .but I just wish this place was better. I feel like I pay a lot of money for something that isn't worth it. There are other places that cost the same that are better. . .oh well.
Maybe if I stay here this year I can get a better place next year.
Truth be told I wouldn't mind staying if this place was better. I don't really want to move again but this house sucks. The bathroom is tiny, it needs painted, the microwave sucks. . .it does have a big backyard that I am thinking of asking if I can do something with. There's room to be able to plant some vegetables. ..or even flowers. Knowing the guy though, he'll be like "no, I like the crappy ugly overgrown crap in the backyard."
