Why do people confuse me with Kaelis? Seriously. I make one little comment because a thread is turning into a raging hormone droolfest over certain actors and I get called Kaelis. Jeez. No offense Kaelis

Insert the string of profanity of your choice here, and make it good.

Ferris is awful! I found out today that they changed the CLLS schedule for fall semester. Now instead of being done no later then 2pm, they expect us to be in class from 8am-8pm on Monday and Wednesday. Um, no. I don't get how they get the fricking right to change OUR schedlue that we registered for because it was convienent at that time for us, just because they wanted our prof to take a 40% pay cut and he wouldn't and so the person that they're getting to teach the class can only teach it at night? How in the HELL can they do that? I'm tellin ya, if I didn't already have so many credits at Ferris, I'd look into transferring elsewhere.

So the campus coffee shop has a new drink. Jet tea. It's fruity green tea blended with ice. The strawberry is so good. I'm addicted after trying it twice. And it won't keep my up half the night if I drink it after noon. Life is good.

One test down one to go. Got a couple of free points on this one since Dan didn't put the right answers on for one of the matching problems. I can't wait for Mr. Landis to get back. Apparently he was in Detroit this morning so things should be back to normal tomorrow. Now for this immunology exam, after this morning's chemistry exam Dan said he was going to go back and doublecheck the immunology exam for mistakes. Damn. I like free points

Is it just me or are the newbies at SW.com getting weirder? One of them tonight barely had been online for an hour and he was asking me if I was a virgin. It was none of his frickin business. I mean yeah I still am but it's none of his business what I do or don't do as my case is. *sigh* Damn freaks.

Well, one of my professors spent the last 2 weeks golfing in Scotland, and yesterday I got a call that I didn't have class this morning. Apparently, he missed his London to USA flight. Now we're just wondering if he's gonna come back.

Chem lab was pretty boring today, I rotated on the AxSYM and it took maybe an hour to set up and then I had nothing to do for the next hour and a half while the analyzer ran. That was boring. Oh well, 2 tests tomorrow, must study.

So I got most of my stuff moved across campus. Moved the real heavy stuff. Now I just have to slowly move my stuff over the rest of the week.

Went to Barnes and Noble at home today since I went home overnight yesterday. I got the deal of the day getting the TPM novelization for $4, then I bought the entire Xenogenesis series by Octavia Butler, and Blade of Tyshalle by Matthew Stover. Unfortunately they didn't have Heroes Die but I was able to order it and it should be in when I go home for the family reunion next weekend. Good stuff.

Well, I finally got all my stuff into one room. I'm very claustrophobic right now. Everything barely fits. It's scary and I can't wait to get back into Pickell with my loft. Only one set of furniture and my loft up, that's how life should be, nice and uncluttered. *sigh* It's only for one night, but I still have stuff to pack. Grrr

And props to K for the help installing the new comment system and helping my find the mistake I made.

Note to self: Take a class in HTML before graduation

Another mix of the good and bad today.

Good: A- on urinalysis test
Bad: Lost driver's lisence sometime in past few weeks
Good: Got assigned to the lot that I wanted to for parking next year
Bad: Had to go to the Secretary of State to get said driver's lisence replaced
Good: The homework that I didn't understand and thought was due today, wasn't.
Bad: Moving heavy furniture all day
Good: Got out of class early today.
Bad: My back now hurts

But it all balances out, even though having to condense all my stuff down to one room, I think I'm breaking every university safety guideline right now. Oh well, it's only until Saturday. Besides now I get to lay in bed and use my computer.

I feel so blah. Like life is passing me by and I'm just going through the motions. I don't like it. I want to live. I want to be free and experience life! I want to be done with school. I want to have more close friends, but it's hard for me. I'm so quiet and shy around people, and I guess that I seem a little standoffish. *sigh* I don't like this feeling.

Ah, political science is over, and if I've calculated correctly, I shouldn't get lower then a B. I got a 75 on the midterm, a 96 on the term paper, and all of my participation and attendance points (even for the night that I skipped class to go to the concert). So as long as I didn't bomb the final, which I'm sure didn't happen, all of my social awareness credits are complete. It's always nice seeing one more set of requirements get checked off of the list.

So anyways, I've decided that the university is playing a game of lets see how much we can inconvienence the student. Here's why:
1. I was told on Monday night that I have to condense down from 2 rooms to one room by Saturday. I think that I might be sleeping on my couch all next week.
2. My room for me to move into in Pickell won't be ready until sometime late next week, so here I am packing down into one room and then next week I get to move across campus. Joy.
3. Because the police corp is learning how to drive, I had to move my car from the parking lot that I was in to the lot in front of the allied health building.
4. After moving my car to said lot, construction crews started working on the convienent enterance to said lot.
5. Random pieces of cement are being torn up all across campus and being replaced. So one day you can walk through an area and the next day you have to detour halfway around campus.

Of course on the plus side, I'm going home this weekend! Hopefully I'll get to sail some.

*sigh* I've been polydipsic tonight. Which in turn means I'm polyuric. Grrr. My poor kidneys. Poor me.

Today has been a mixture of good and bad.

Microscopic UA's suck! Ok so maybe I shouldn't have picked the BROWN urine. There were plenty of nice yellow ones, but I figured that the brown would be fun. Boy something was wrong with that person. Wall to wall bacteria, casts, epithelials, white cells, calcium oxalate crystals (which look totally awesome). I had such a headache when I was done looking at it. It was scary. I had such a headache when I was done. Lesson learned: stay away from the funky colored piss.

Had lunch with friends and while we were eating it started to pour outside, and I had to get back to the allied health building. I had left my umbrella in my room this morning and had happened to pick out a white tshirt to wear today. Yeah. Things were not looking good. Luckily, God was on my side and it stopped raining so that I could go back to class.

Chemistry lab: Was supposed to rotate on the CX7 today. Last week it leaked all over the floor, reagent everywhere. It hasn't been fixed yet, so all I had to do was my glass pipetting competency and I got to leave. Now, to work on my final exam for political science.

Looking back, I sure have changed since Easter. Before then I could care less about going to church and God. My faith was definitely on the back burner. Things have really changed since then. Before, I didn't have a Bible. I do now. I look forward to embracing God in my life and I try to live life as I should. Oh I know that I have a lot of work to do still, but at least now I'm headed in more of the right direction.

Yay! It's the weekend. I'm free til Sunday night. WooHoo!

To quote Kaelis: "Word."

I was just checking out some stuff in Student Web Services for Ferris and I just found out that I'm at Senior Status. And I've only been here for 2.5 years. Sweet.

After I went to class and turned in my term paper tonight I went down to St. Pauls and walked down to the river. It was SO relaxing. I needed to get away, I needed to relax. So it was me, the woods, the river, my journal, my Bible and God and it was great. I started reading 1 Corinthians and working my way through it after some reflection and writing in my journal. I felt so much better when I left. Well except for the bug bites. I'm gonna have to go down there more often.

Yes! I got free books this morning. Some of you may be wondering, "Oh what's the big deal about that?" Those of you in college know this fact: reference material is never free. Well ha! Today I got a book on therapeutic drog monitoring and 3 on urinalysis all for free! Great references for the clinical lab setting! Oh happy day!

It's done! My term paper is done! I finished it about 40 minutes ago. Still not my worst procrastination, like the English paper that I finished a half hour before class last summer, but this paper was just awful. The BS wasn't flowing for me. Ah well, I'm turning it in tommorrow and then hoping that he lets us right out because I want to go for a bike ride and just relax and have some time to myself off campus, without campers, and with my journal. That's all I want. Oh and some nice weather too. I need a break.

Ok someone please remind me why it's illegal to chain children to their beds. These campers are awful. They deserve to be chained up at night, as soon as they get back from the arena. Who cares that they paid $500 for camp. And what is the fasination that boys have with fecal material. Why did they have to smear it on a door? Why last night? Why couldn't this prank have waited until I wasn't on duty? Can I kill campers?

New camps yesterday. Once again I have the young campers, but each week the young campers get older. And they get a bit more attitude every week. Ah well, one more camp after this one.

So we started endocrinology today in clinical chemistry. So of course the requisite "How do you make a whore moan?" "Don't pay her" joke had to be made. Of course I was real amazed that when the topic of self stimulation came up, that no one made the requisite joke there. Lab was fun this afternoon, we started on the automated instruments. It was pretty fun, except one of the instruments that I had to rotate on today was being a bit PMS-ey. Troubleshooting machines isn't that fun.


So anyways, the other day I was wondering why my butt was a little sore. I didn't really know why it was hurting. But today, I went and got on my bike and found out that it was from my bike ride on Saturday. I need a more comfortable bike seat.

Ahhh I went for a bike ride all the way across campus and down to St Paul's today. It was so nice. Really cleared my mind and felt good for the body too. Other then that I've been a pretty boring person lately. Stupid term paper...

It's my blog and I can whine if I want to so here I go.

Had a killer headache yesterday so popped 3 motrin and went to lay down. Wake up a little later and the power's out. This is a little after 5:30pm. It didn't come back on until 1:00AM! It was miserable. Seriously, I worked from 6:30-12 and didn't do much else then sit out in the lobby and try not to die of boredom. It's amazing how much you want to do something when you can't. Anyways, we got the campers to bed without problems. Coaches took them to the movies since they couldn't skate without power (BTW it was only campus that didn't have power, the rest of Big Rapids did) and when they came back, we sent them straight to bed. Pretty easy night, well except for the camper that threw a chair through the bathroom door, but that's another story...

A little poetry from me tongiht

I stay awake
Every night
Wishing I could sleep
My mind wanders
It flies every where
What will I do?
Who will I be?
Do I have to potential inside of me?
What does my future hold?
Can anyone see?
Where life's journey
Is taking me....

And a little more

It blossoms slowly
From deep inside
A feeling that I can't describe
But that I feel
Every time
I see you...
My heart leaps
I know what the feeling is
But the words get stuck
When I'm
With you...
The feelings are they
I know they are true
I just don't know
How to tell you...

Manual BUN's suck! I was so far out of control today that... grrr. And the AC wasn't working in the allied health building, so we broke about every rule there is regarding fans and lab coats today. Yeah real fun day. And my one sunburned arm hurts. And I haven't got to talk to someone in quite a few days. I'm gonna go cry somewhere.

Wow it was an interesting weekend.

Thursday: bought Reunion as soon as I got into town. Finished that on Friday night, family really does get in the way sometimes.

Friday: spent some quality time with my mom... cleaning out my room. And I do mean cleaning. I barely recognize it now. That took all day. I was totally dead afterwards.

Saturday: Got my haircut. It looks totally cute, I don't even have to comb my hair for it to look how it's supposed to. Then I went to Big Apple Baggles with my mom. I had the best Icespresso ever. It was Mocha with a shot of caramel and the guy that made it, put ice cream in it. It was heavenly. Then I went to WalMart with my mom and helped her pick out 2 goldfish for her fountain in the front yard. Good thing I went with her, or she wouldn't have got any plants to live in there. Then I just hung around the house and watched the original MASH movie. It had it's moments but I like the TV show better. Had some nice homecooked grilled food for dinner, it was great. Went to the mall with my mom and got some cool stuff for my scrapbook from a new store in the mall. Then we left for the fireworks. Took a while to get a parking spot, but hey, that's Bay City on the night of the final fireworks. Got to the park and had a spot on the hill. The fireworks were awesome. Makes me proud to be an American, we can blow stuff up just for the hell of it. So we thought we'd be smart after the fireworks and go over to the carnival first and get an elephant ear and then go back to the car, let the traffic clear out a little. Well that all worked, until we started travelling. All of the sudden there's a pop and smoke starts coming out from under the hood of my dad's car. We blew a radiator hose. So we had to walk home. We were 5 miles from home. I had flip flops on. It took us an hour and a half to walk home. It sucked.

Sunday: Got up. Felt like I'd walked 5 miles the night before, oh wait, I did. Went to church. Came home and did a few things but was kind of tired so I took a short nap since I had a 2 hour drive ahead of me. My uncle stopped by so I visited with him for a while then packed up and came back to school, leaving my checkbook on my desk at home in the process. Smart. I also have a driving sunburn. My right upper arm is burned, that's it, all from a 2 hour drive. Then I went to get food and got caught in a pouring rain.

What an interesting weekend. Oh yeah, and the weather was too crappy to go sailing. Bleh

*sigh* I'm so worn out. These midterms suck. Life sucks. I just need a break. A vacation from my mind. I can't wait to get home this weekend and spend some time at home and on my aunt's boat.

I hereby think it's impossible to have immunology not to be sexual. We were being instructed on how to do a particular mount with a mounting media and our prof just happened to mention that the media was slightly viscous. Somehow, the subject of KY jelly was brought up. Mind you, we're a class of 8 females, 1 male and our male prof. I don't know if our prof is going to survive the summer with us. Especially when people started talking about the different kinds of KY. I was laughing so hard that I was just about crying. Since we were doing anti-nuclear antibody test, we had to go into a dark room and look at the slides under a fluorescent microscope. Since this was our first time doing fluorescent microscopy our prof was looking at the slides under the scope with us (it had two heads) and he told us, "Ok to look at the slides we're going to do this one at a time since I can't handle all of you at once." That caused us to laugh even more. I haven't laughed that long in a long time.

Then as I was leaving lab and going downstairs to hang my lab coat, change back into sandals, and grab my bookbag I ended up behind two female faculty members. Apparently one of them had her husband cooking filet minon at home. The other one said that he probably wanted something and the first one replied that she probably would deliver and then something about delivering once a year whether she wanted to or not. Then they realized that I was behind them and laughed and said that they probably shouldn't talk that way with a student around. I almost felt like telling them, "this is nothing compared to what was just discussed in my lab."

Fun day. Now to finish studying.

I have hereby decided that any day that starts out with the first thing I hear on my alarm clock being "Your Mistake" will be a good day. Sure, I have a cumulative final tomorrow, I'll do fine. I know it. I just have to sit down and study tonight. Thought that I didn't do so hot on my chem quiz yesterday, I ended up doing better on it then I did on the last one. I didn't get woken up by Mr. Vomit again last night, that's a good thing. Life is going good.

Oh yeah and I have a nice bright red pimple the size of a small planet under my left eye. Sheesh

Talk about your long days. Bleh. Sick campers are the worst. I have one camper who has vomited 4 times tonight. If I get a knock on my door or a phone call about the 5th time, I think that I'll scream. I really do. His dad didn't leave the medicine that he needs here. Dad's somewhere in town but not where he's supposed to be. Arg.
