Never Ask For Want You Don't Really Want

This is a narrative regarding an event that took place Monday night. As a precursor, and disclaimer I will remind you to watch what you wish for. Now on to the story.

It was Monday night around 8pm, and I was headed home from lab (lab had been moved from Friday to Monday this week). As I neared the apt. Kelli and Ashley were so excited and told me to look into out living room window. Ahh, yes, our Halloween tree was put up, and stood light with black and orange. It was all very exciting, and so the neighboring boys (who Kelli and Ashley party with) came to see it, and scoff at a tree in November. Anyway, I was standing inside and Kelli was leaning on our open door letting mosquitoes inside (we have really bad mosquitoes). Thus, I asked Kelli if she wouldn't mind shutting the door. Kelli went to shut the door with her backside and slammed her face into our TV which sits directly in front of the door, but facing the side wall. At first we all gasped, but Kelli was laughing and saying that it didn't hurt, she was ok. The next thing we knew, Kelli has blood running down her face, and we all run to the bathroom to get toilet paper to stop the bleeding. A minute later we looked at the cut, and she had gashed open below her right eye, about a half-inch cut that looked pretty deep. Ashley freaks out and calls her dad, while Kelli is trying to get a hold of her mom. We decide that Kelli needs stitches and so we head to the hospital. One our way Kelli's mom calls and we learn that Kelli is not under their insurance any more. So, we head home to wait and see if Kelli could just go to the campus med. Center tomorrow since the bleeding had slowed. Later on that night Kelli talked it over with her mom, and just decided to go to the ER to get stitches. It was crazy! Anyway, Kelli ended up with four stitches and a big black eye. Fortunately she's fine, but I learned my lesson don't ever say that your life is boring unless you are ready to face what may happen. Wow, it amazes me what can happen. We all got a pretty good laugh out of it anyway!

Well, that's all for now! I'll post more later!

I can't think of a title...

Finally my week crammed with tests is over, although I have two tests this week, so I wouldn't say that I'm off the studying hook. Oh well, before I know it, Christmas will be here! YEAH!! Speaking of Christmas, the roomies (except for Ashley - she is a self-proclaimed grinch when it comes to Christmas) really got in the Christmas mood the other night, and it was decided that the Christmas tree should go up early...VERY early. Thus, our very cute three foot tall Christmas tree arrived from Kelli's house last night. We even have a pickle to hid in the tree, because (I have now been educated) the "find the pickle" game is a Christmas tradition! Our joy was soon cut short by our resident grinch when she forbid us to put the tree up yet since she hates the holiday anyway. Kelli, however is a worker of miracles, and convinced Ashley to allow the tree if it was a Halloween tree first. Although I do not support the Halloween season, I can't really change the fact that most of the USA celebrates this holiday, and actually decorates for it! Yes, at first this was unbelievable to me (the only holiday my mother EVER decorated for was Christmas), but I have seen the good in it, as it has made a way for the Christmas tree (more appropriately the Holiday Tree) to be put up. Ahh, I love Christmas! We had the house blaring with Christmas music Friday night, and we've already made plans to attend Kelli's aunt's ornament party in December. I'm soooo excited! It will be so much fun!

I think that I have been forced into a holiday mood, out of shear scholarly pressures....Humm...Yeah, whatever, I'm just rambling now. Anywhoooo, I'll post later, and maybe it will contain more interesting events than the Christmas tree saga.

Studing...or at least trying to....

Verbal Communication - involves the spoken or written word. - I'm good at this form of communication.

Non-verbal Communication - Gestures, facial expressions, body posture, body movement, voice tone, rate of speech, use of silence, and dress that communicates a message. Humm...what messages am I sending right now?

Sorry, I got caught up in my studing! Unfortunately I have three tests next week, which is going to keep me really busy. Still I thought I might update, even if it's short, and not nearly as interesting as bed baths! :-)

Till later!

Pharmocology and Kittens

Hello again!

Well, yesterday was my first pharm. test, and I was unsure how it would be, but I got an A, so the studing must have paid off! I love that class, but I know that it'll be hard, and take lots of work. On a side note, this morning when I walked outside we had the cutest kitten walking by our door. I wish we could have pets, because it was the most loving cat, just rubbing and wanting to be petted. I hope its there when I get home, because I'm gonna give it some food, and maybe take it to the animal shelter, so it'll have the chance of a good home. Awww, I want a kitty!!!!!!!! :-( I miss my kittys! If you have a good cat they provide eternal entertainment and effection. *sigh* You should have seen it, you'd have wanted to keep it too!

Anyway, I can't talk about the cat any more or I'll keep wanting it. :-) I'm actually waiting for my last Friday lab to start at 2pm, and figured I had time for an update. Oh, we had to take turns practicing giving bed-baths on each other this morning in my first lab, and I actually thought that it would be more ackward than it was. We have a good lab group, and we had lots of fun. For all the baths I've given working at the hospital, it was good to get a feel for how the patient feels. It gives you a better sense of empathy for their situation. Therefore, if you would ever like me to give you a bed-bath I can, but you might have to pay me!! :-) We also got to feel each other yogurt, brush each other's teeth, and a variety of other things. Yeah, it was funny!

I can't wait for the weekend though, I am so tired!!! It has been a long week, and fortunately the roommates are leaving so I'll have the apt. to myself. I think tonight will be a brownie, movie, lazy night!! Yippy!! Ok, so I have plenty to do this weekend, but tonight! Adios to books! Hola to relaxation!

I'll write more later....
