the poster is done!

ok, so i finally got this AED poster done, and it looks pretty good. its just going to be nice to get everything looking legit. plus the old signs had some drippy stains on them and tape residue. so anyway, i'm excited about it. they should be done on monday or tuesday and we can get them up to advertise the dean of admissions lecture from the med school that is on the 9th. i have a bio lab at that time so i can't go, which really bugs. i'm trying to see if we can work out a webcast or something. its on writing personal statements for your application, so i really want to see it. they'll do it next year, so i guess i won't die if i don't get to see it, but still...

i'm actually really enjoying my bio lab. at least the microscopy part. i want to get a microscope so i can show the kids what i've been looking at. i'll attach a picture of Volvox to this blog so everyone can see what i'm seeing, but it's pretty amazing. the part that sucks is drawing everything into our lab notebook. we have our first exam on tuesday, and there is only one more for the semester, so if we do bad on one, the whole semester is shot. we've looked at like 100 different organisms and can be tested on any of them, so its a little stressful, and is supposed to take like 2 or 3 hours. so i'll look forward to that.

i got done organizing the basement at the cancer center this week. it felt good to just throw away huge trash cans full of old junk and boxes. the problem is that i'm done now, so i'm on to the next assignment. so it looks like i'm going to be making some flags for an upcoming event. i guess i'm going to be learning to sew on wednesday so i can sew these flags together. so apparently i'm like a little elderly woman to them. whatever.

also, i feel like i'm venting a little, but what is up with the girls with all the makeup and hair and crazy clothes? i saw a girl in the computer lab at 7:30 fully done up. she had to have been awake by like 4:00 am to get all done and to school by that time. why oh why? just put on some sweats and a hat. they are trying so hard. or there are the guys that walk around in the middle of a snowstorm in shorts and a t-shirt. i'll still think you're tough if you put a coat on. i'm just so glad i'm 34 and married, and i just go to class and the library and study. i don't have to worry about all these other games that everyone else has to play. its kind of why i grow my beard out, so i can look like the crazy old guy who lives in a box and no one will talk to me. so far so good.
