Well, as I sit here in the library, awaiting my next class, I ponder what to do. Blog of course. However the time is limited; which can only make it better.
I shall tell you about a lecture we had today...
so the teach is talking about how men can make breast milk if they have a hormonal imbalance. so the guys chest hurts to which teh teach says "to comfort himself the guy unconsciously massages himself"
I managed to contain myself, but it only got worse from there as he described how this unlucky soul discovered that he had breast milk. "It squirted white stuff out and it got in his eye, so then he swallows some to see what it is...." I can't tell you anymore becuase I'm afried that might make my blog NC-17.
This was a real thing that happened and a group of us are just cracking up because the teach just keeps going on and on and on and what he says only got more perverted sounding. I think the teach knew that and did it on purpose.
Money troubles ahoy! Got to pay $200ish dollars to get nursing program stuff.... have to even pay for a damn background check... its $56! I could find out more about you for less.
Exams are just around teh corner and guess whose studying like a beast and making flashcards and such. I am. These exams will not get the best of me!
I got a 70% on my last chem test and I believe the highest grade anyone got on it was an 80%. The teacher says we need to study more. I say he needs to learn how to teach better. Tried to get a tutor but they sucked big time and were less helpful than the internet. A friends trying to get the magnificent Randy to help tutor us and his mind is brilliant and we hope some of his genius will rub off on us.
We allegedly have a test at the end of the semester that is optional and can only better your grade for chem class. From what I understand, we can have the average % for our 1st 4 tests or this. You can imagine I'm studying for it.
A&P is another thing entirely and I can only hope I do well because one cannot remember every single detail.

Rants and raves...
While learning about cranial nerves and what they do, we were told that one controls facial expression, to which a student asks, "you mean there are people who don't have facial expressions?!"
Our teacher explained that doctors asses this and other factors in general exams and less pronounced or faulty facial expressions can mean a problem, to which he followed up by saying that some people just aren't that expressive.
Yes you can have facial paralysis if you damage the facial nerve you ding bat, was all I could think
Chem class had a person ask where the teacher got that number, for the conversion of mmHg into atm. The teacher did not understand as this is a set number for the conversion, long figured out by chemists before us and is given to us. If it weren't bad enough she didn't realize this and that she didn't have to figure out the number (to which I restate is a given) sh asked what if we were converting from mm of another element. No, we don't measure atmospheric pressure in any other element.... thermometers? anyone? atm is affected by Temp by the way, hence the mercury thermometer's response.
No silly student, meeting the minimum requirements for the Nursing program will not get you in. No, the school not accepting you and setting you back does not qualify as the schools fault.
Yes there is such a thing as phantom pain, no the person does not literally think their arm is there. But it sure as heck feels like it, you can understand the confusion and inability to fix the pain quickly.
When a limb is amputated, or any other type of thing removed surgically, is bio-hazardous waste and must be disposed of as such. Some hospitals have their own incinerators for this rather then send them off. Oh silly student, an incinerator is a machine that INCINERATES things.
No teacher, I don't think in the case of my limb being cut off that I will have enough time to find a large enough plastic bad to put it in and a large enough bin of ice to effectively save my arm and reach the hospital. I think I should probably be more worried about bleeding out as I have most likely severed an artery.
Oh you funny lab partners. No, I don't have the Babinski reflex as I'm an adult, rather well over the age of 2 and I am conscious and feel fine. It's most likely a normal plantar reflex, but sure go get out teacher just to make sure. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003294.htm
No college, I am paying to attend you, not my parents so much, and I will get good grades. Please stop badgering me about dating and marriage, it's not going to happen right now. No! I said STOP!
No silly college, you LOST my paperwork TWICE, so no I don't owe you any money and yes you will fix it after my dad opens a can of whooping!
No people at the gym, I'm not stupid, disabled to retarded... I just trip a lot... on the tread mill
I'm not addicted to tumblr! I SWEAR!

Things to keep in mind .....
.... while watching shows from the UK...
- "to get on" is not the UK equvilent of the U.S.'s "to get it on", but rather to get along well... or similar...
- you should probably look up the slang for words. Some examples are daft, prat, git, nackered, arse, bobby, chips, wanker, bollucks and the like... you can look these up.... but some I'd rather not tell you, I think you should find out on your own.
- Oh, don't forget shag.
- Tea... it is everywhere. If they characters have access to it, it will appear multiple times within one episode
- They put milk in their tea. *a practice I thought completely absurd and disgusting until I figured out it is really the only way to go.
- Some other things are that to knock up is different as well as fag and rubber. They mean to knock on someone's door, a cigarette and an eraser, respectively.
- And fanny is DEFINITELY not the same and it is HIGHLY unaccepted to spank one.
- Overall there are tons of words that mean different things. You didn't think the dialects were that different, but it turns out they are
- The more you watch, the more you can tell the differences between accents, even regions within a country.
- I always forget they drive on the different side of the road and have the steering wheel odd too.... messes me up. I'm like, "why are they getting in the passen- oh."
- you need to check out this site, not for the slang, but what we apparently say in the States... http://us2uk.tripod.com/slang.htm
- Look up other stuff on that site... I'm not sure who made it, but it's pretty funny. The person was quite taken aback about the fact Americans have sweet tea and say herbal as 'erbal...
- If you're a woman, it's okay that you are thoroughly in love with that man's accent.
- Oh and for the record, both countries spell gray/grey differently... do there, I don't think one or the other should count as the appropriate spelling.... no one knows how to spell it!
this is what I do when I'm bored and don't want to study but would feel like a horrible person for watching another Merlin episode...
PS I got a job interview. Going in with high hopes, but unsure of whether or not I will actually get the job

To off balance angst
This is how labs a supposed to be done
this is how my hair is constantly when it's down
\
\
Some things I found...
There's a point in all our lives where you take a good look at your own life and what you've done, and all your friends and wonder how everything could have possibly changed to fast. You think everybody has completely changed and are selfish or immature. But in reality it is you that has changed.
You know when you look back upon your life. Upon everything you've ever done or said, you start to realize that your life has been pointless, and your selfish and stupid to not realize all things that happen to other and how all you cared about was you and your stupid, pitiful, unfulfilled life. We'll not me. I plan to mack an impact on others, I plan to fight for others and make life better for them. I'm going to make others smile and laugh.
I try to remember
your name and your face
My mind likes to be at a happy place
You've left my mind
my heart and my soul.
But how can I ever possible feel whole
I don't like you now
I would love to say
But thats a life in every way
Wtihout you is a world of dark
without you, life has no spark
without you I'm hollow
without you I'm full of sorrow
It's odd how some moments stick out in your mind, but the important things you need to remember don't stick out. I don't know what happened a week ago and I couldn't tell you what I did last summer. [...]I remember th oddest moments but don't remember where I put anything, such as my sister's and I's passports. And that cost me a lot and still does. Memory is a confusing thing, it's never reliable and you can't trust it.
The way I see it, there are two ways to see the world. One, through rose-colored glasses or two, as the world really is. There's a joke about pessimists: they are optimists with experience. And truthfully in a way that's correct. Plus if you don't think the best and the best happens, you a heck of a lot more happy than you would have been if you though the best would happen and it doesn't. I guess I'm somewhat of a pessimist and negative sometimes, but it really depends on my mood. And the situation. Like take for example, my math placement test. I was for sure I was going to get stuck in the stupid (foundations) class. Everybody else did it at the end of school, so they remembered the math. I, on the other hand, happened to be sick that day. So i had to take it this Thursday and up until they told me I passed, I was for sure I was going to fail. I really shouldn't have cared that much but I did, and it felt food to pass when I thought I'd failed. Well to be frank, I always think the worst is hopes for the best, so maybe I'm not so pessimistic after all.
These are from way way back in the early teen years. I can tell a few things from them. 1) I wan't so bad at writing and 2) I was hella angsty!!! I mean what in the world?! I have no idea how that was me and how that me turned into this me. I mean I kinda remember, but shesh, I was a down right emo or something. i was evidently one angry child.... Thank goodness I grew out of that... almost.
to lighten things up, heres a list I had to make my junior year of high school

I FORGOT! go look at the blog before this one, there's no...
... PICTURES!
how dull...
Merlin
Sherlock
Pscyh
CLEVER INSPIRATIONAL VIDEO!
The greatest stories of all time...
You know what the greatest stories of all time have? What is their key factor that makes them so great?
What stories does everyone know?
Well, there's always Romeo and Juliet... Hamlet's a favorite of mine...
But what stories do you often just know, you remember throughout your life. Those stories you read and it just so good you wished it had not ended. Those stories that society remembers and continues to remake constantly... the one's deemed good enough to be movies...
I don't know about the rest of the world, but I think it's stories of friendships.
For example, some popular shows now include Merlin and Arthur (Arthurian legend is really fair game in any fiction), the Doctor and his friend (it changes, he is 903 yrs old), Holmes and Watson, and thats just a few.
Then you have House, which really has to be about his relationships with people constantly, particularly Cuddy and Wilson.
There's NCIS, the whole team is practically a dysfunctional family.
There's Psych with Shawn and Gus. And you know you love that show, don't even lie.
Don't forget the Star Trek's classic Bones, Spock, and Kirk.
Most shows that you watch are about friendships, sometimes colleagues, sometimes schoolmates, sometimes those friends you've had since childhood.
I seem to like friendship stories most of all becuase you can always relate. There are love stories, but then you have the whole complicated "they're not good enough for XYZ" and "I don't like him/her" and then there's always this chance that they will break up or cheat...
But friendship is different, becuase friends are friends and you love them no matter what they do.
If you're thinking that sounds like love, well it is. Then there's that romantic love and you say, it sounds like that too. But somehow in modern society it has gotten lost and you lover is never really you friend but rather a temporary person in your life that you may marry.
To say that this is only in the media and Hollywood would be a lie, and that's potentially one of the saddest things that is happening in our generation.
OH and you know you watch shows and every time someone is good friends with someone else, they are automatically in love, according to the viewers. It's true, no one is safe. It doesn't matter if they're both boys, and both of them are straight... it's all fair game, even though it's not true.....
So you ask yourself, "self, what is the point of this rambling blog?"
Well I the writer will do you the favor of telling you the exact reason for this blog.
It has something to do with I haven't written a blog in a bit and I felt guilty.
There's a bit of stalling on homework happening, but it's too late now to actually do anything productive as I can't do anything school-wise after 8 or 9.... yeah I cannot pull all nighters... its pointless.
There's a whole lot of I signed up for NaNoWriMo and I have no idea what else is going to happen in my novel and I'm a couple thousand words behind.....
YAY!
Oh and I felt bad for watching so many Merlin episodes back to back, so I guess this is an intermission to make me feel better about a potential addiction that I may or may not have.
