Since we're doing molecular biology and genetics the material has been review for some of the class, but this is all new material for me and what makes it hard is that it literally just keeps coming like there's no tomorrow. but i'm trying to take things more step by step and focus on what is right now and not even worry about the next week. that doesn't always work but at least i'm trying.<br />-i've met some really nice people here. unforunately, i feel like after the two week mark in a new school or any environment really, there comes a point when the people you know will be the ones you know from here on out, and the ones you missed talking to or introducing yourself to in the beginning...o well. which makes me sad because i'd hate to think i missed out on a great friendship. also, for a lot of us we're still in that polite getting to know you kind of stage, which makes me nervous and more shy. i just miss the comfort and security of friendships that have a strong foundation<br />-the temperature is already dropping into the coldness. a girl in my class said it felt like summer turned to fall overnight on a particular day last week, and you know waht? i think she's right. one day, we woke up and even the sun, although bright, wasn't as warming, the air was cool and crisp and had that fall smell. also they started selling pumpkins in the sumpermarket so that's gotta be a sign of autumn<br />that is all for now becuase i need to go study and nap. more to come... urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:curlyq62:59023 2006-03-20T01:48:45Z 2006-03-20T01:48:45Z t.v. background I don't like writing papers for Hebrew Bible becuase the prof. is a meanie. well not really but just a very harsh grader and extremely picky. bleh. i should have started this paper long ago. six pages too many.&nbsp;<br /><br />but, following in kate's footsteps, i would like to verify the food network.<br />there is always something good on, most of the time good also means yummy. i love giada and paula and rachel ray and emeril and ina. and who can beat iron chef? if you have been deprived of this channel, i suggest you take immediate action. it is very relaxing and comforting, fits every mood.<br /><br />i would also like to verify my new ipod. i loove it. it's great. it's shiny, black, and very suave looking.&nbsp;not to mention full of my favorite songs:) and now i am legal with itunes! woohoo!<br /><br />i would like to verify making stew. michael and i made beef stew and it smells very good. we are good chefs together.<br /><br />i would like to verify jello. i'ts jiggly, yummy, and anything bill cosby supports has gotta be great. and how can you go wrong for 10 little calories?<br /><br />i saw V for Vendetta this weekend...and despite what some other people may think, i loved it.&nbsp; besides loving natalie to death becuase she's my idol, it was really thought provoking and had a lot more twists and turns than i expected. so go see it.<br /><br />i need to graduate pronto.<strike> i am sick of schoolll...</strike>i still don't really want it to end for real, but i am definitely ready for the school work part of it to stop.<br /><br />i miss jack and my family and hburg friends. jack walks around saying "Mole" thas't my name according to him..he doesn't understand where i went..how ridiculously cute is that?<br /><br />ok back to papering. ciao tutti. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:curlyq62:58847 2005-12-07T04:29:01Z 2005-12-07T04:29:01Z curb your enthusiasm in the background things i heart in no particular order:<br />1. reading my book<br />2. massages<br />3. honey<br />4. my baby michael benjamin<br />5. highlighters that work<br />6. milk. especially with cereal<br />7. did i mention my baby?<br />8. blistex spa chapstick<br />9. when the T arrives just as i do<br />10. getting to sleep in urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:curlyq62:58546 2005-11-28T03:06:45Z 2005-11-28T03:06:45Z silence so. i'm back in the library after five days of no work whatsoever. thanskgiving was wonderful. i got to see my family (minus janine greg and jack :( who i only saw for a couple hours, they spent thanksgiving in fl. with greg's paretns), all of my relatives, watched alllll the gilmore girls my dad taped for me so i'm caught up, saw a play, went to the soup fest, ran in the turkey trot, watched t.v., ate enough desserts/junk food to last me six months, and saw (although for too brief a time) most of my lovely friends. and i cooked a loot of stuff (carrots, stuffing, sweet potatoes) and baked lots of desserts (blackberry cobbler, gingerbread cake, apple caramel pie, etc) i love baking and cooking. i'ts crazy, you can take random ingredients, throw em together in a bowl, pop it in the oven and ta da! it's this delicious dish. and change just a few ingredients and you get something compllletly different. maybe i'ts just me that is amazed by the infite possibilites in the kitchen. i really would love to do it as a career. so we'll see how this whole applying to med school thing works out and maybe when i do'nt get it i will seriously consider it. <br /><br />so, now that i've rambled about that. i am not looking forward to finals. actually i do'nt really mind the tests so much. i just don't want to even think about this final paper for developmental neuropysch taht is 75% of our grade. yeh, 75%. and the questions we have to write about are riiiidddiculsouly hard becuase our professor is a genius. it doesn't have to be too long, about 12 pages, but i just don't even know where to begin. she said if it's well researched and thoughtful it's a B, if it's exceptionally creative and has unique ideas no one has ever thought of before, it's an A. roiight. <br /><br />janine said jack is learning loads of new words. the other day he kept moving his arms up and down and saying "up, dow, up, dow". he is obsessed with fraggle rock. they have teh dvd's. he watches it all the time and if they are out anywhere, even at a store, and he sees a t.v. he yells "ra ra" (his attempt to say fraggle rock).<br /><br />um, ok, i had more but now i forget and i'm sure you're getting bored if you read this far so hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving and is staying warm!!!!

it's so crazy being able to run my fingers through it (well it's sorta knotty but i can still manage to do that)but today i ahd to take a shower becuase i was sweaty from the gym and even though i was careful not to get my hair wet, the humidity made it rebel..its curling at the bottom now.<br /><br />my betsy muffin is coming to visit in three days! yyayy! i miss her like crazy and can't wait to see her.<br /><br />i am also very excited for alic to kick some butt at her interview. :)<br /><br />i want to see lots of movies. although i've recently seen more than i have in a long time - in her shoes, prime, erm. ok maybe thas't all but tha'st a lot since i had seen 0. (both were very good)<br /><br />it's crazy how all my classes relate this year. we'll talk about something in developmental neuropysch and then the next day in phys we'll talk about something that direclty depends on that or is caused by it. and then in abnormal pysch today we talked about something we had just talked about in neuro. ok maybe it's just crazy to me becuae that hasnt' realy happened before. i really enjoy it though.<br /><br />back to reading. ciao i miei amici urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:curlyq62:57987 2005-11-06T19:37:56Z 2005-11-06T19:37:56Z mraz why do i let other people's opinions get to me. why why why. i shouldn't care. i dont' like not having any control over what i'm feeling. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:curlyq62:57351 2005-09-04T03:58:09Z 2005-09-04T03:58:09Z jason mraz - 0 % interest back to school back to school.<br /><br />apartment style dorm for the first time. teensy place, but hopefully will be cute when i'm done. lots of wall space for my zillion pictures :) bitty kitchen but its a kitchen! my own room for the first time. cockroaches in the bathroom. iccck. lots of bug spray, hopefully evacuated/dead sooooonn. there is just not enough room for the both of us. <br /><br />today - unpacking and trip to ghetto target with mom and dad<br />tomorrow- books and grocery shopping!<br /><br />how can i feel like i'm behind already? classes don't start till tuesday, but somehow I just feel that way. strange.<br /><br />more later. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:curlyq62:56929 2005-07-22T02:18:35Z 2005-07-22T02:18:35Z vertical horizon holy freaking crap.<br /><br />whereeee exactly did this summer go? becuase i think i missed it.<br /><br />i need like 3 more months to study. minimum.<br /><br />bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbblah.<br /><br />but in unblah news, my summer has still managed to be excellent. i love my family (my jack), hburg, my friends, and despite the ridiculous nature of the actual test, i do actaully quite enjoy learning or relearning most of the material. i'm quite happy being a nerd thanks.
