Decisions

Mood: Distracted

Weather:  Sunny, warm, breezy :)))

According to Social Scientists, our brains aren't fully developed until, on average, the age of 25.  The part that is continuing to develop is the frontal lobe which helps us to foresee the future outcomes of our decisions, as well as emotions and such.  Well I'm 19 so apparently my frontal lobe isn't completely developed and therefore I am incapable of adequately determining the outcomes of the decisions I make. . .but I try to make up for it.  I try to plan, and set goals for myself and plan my life accordingly around these goals.  I try to weigh the pros and cons of each option before making a decision.  I make decisions that will not only positively affect myself, but those around me as well.  I attempt to look into my future and see how the decisons I make now will impact my life either a week from now, or 20 years from now.  However, sometimes I wonder if I make decisions for the wrong reasons.  If I make a decison for the right reason, but with bad intentions. . .is that a good or bad decision?  Or if I made a decision for the wrong reasons, but with good intentions. . .what kind of decision is that?  How can you really know how each decision in life is going to pan out?  And how do you go about making such decision?  Do you make choices based on fears?  Goals?  The people around you?  I try to make good decisons for myself, even though I don't always succeed.  Sometimes I make decisions because I think they will make other people happy, conversely I sometimes make decisions because it will made me happy.  I have goals and plans for my life, I know where I WANT to be in 10 years and I try to make decisions that will help me be the person and have the lifestyle that I want to have then even though they don't always go along with what other people think is right and want for me.  So are those decisions good or bad?  I have to say, I've never really been good at making decisions for myself because it is soooooo hard to make everyone and myself happy at the same time, and yes I AM A PEOPLE PLEASER!  But I think I'm finally getting over that and starting to be able to make decisions for myself because its my life.  I make decisions that are going to help ME reach MY goals.  I make decisions that will help me later in life with a family, a house, children etc.  But even still, I sometimes wonder if I'm making good decisions, and if they are for the right reasons, and with good intentions.  I'm not sure we can always do that, and I guess it comes down to weighing the pros and cons not only for your benefit, but for those around you (alive or unborn).  I know this post is kind of vague, its sort of me just reasonsing "out loud :P"  Just food for thought :)

I'm Obsessed

So I've always liked Desperate Housewives, but I've never been good at planning to watch a show every week at the same time.  But I recently discovered that they have ever single episode of Desperate Housewives on Hulu. . .:) Its perfect. 

4/20

Its a little late but this is what I did on 4/20 when I was getting ready for school :)

Osama Bin Ladin

Mood: Well. . .you know :P

Weather: Cold and rainy :(

(I would just like to say that the below statements are purely my opinion )

Alright so I was awake when they announced that Osama Bin Laden was killed.  I didn't need a second thought, I just knew it wasn't true.  I didn't feel excited, I felt scared and upset.  I, for some reason, cannot bring myself to believe that we have the full story, and I fear that there is a lot that is left out.  I have two theories.  And though these are what I think happened, I really and strongly hope that they aren't true.  First I would like to say that I don't really believe that the Taliban were responsible for 9/11.  I truely do believe it was our own government.  And they pointed their finger at Osama to put a face and a race on the crime.  I believe Osama agreed to take the blame, in exchange for total protection and perhaps other luxuries.  This is where it becomes two theories.  I believe he is either still alive, and we are keeping him safe.  We needed some approval to appease the people for a while and get ratings up for Obama.  This also justifies high gas prices and makes the war seem worth it.  OR Our government agreed to keep him safe and then betrayed and killed him when they decided they needed to shut the people up for a while.  Idk, these are just my own opinions. . .but no matter what, I don't see any good that can come from Osama's death. . .I just have a feeling that things are going to get really really really bad really soon.  Just a huntch.

Anatomy and Physiology Today :)

Mood: Happy :DDD

Weather: Warm :DD

Today I had a wonderful time in lab, no I wasn't bored or confused out of my mind.  I'm a bit sad that tonight was our last lab. . .it was just starting to get fun.  Tonight we had to disect a sheep eye, we also did a few things with sensation and perception.  As always, I have pictures :)

Today I had 3 other lab partners because a lot of people dropped the class or didn't show up so partners are all mixed and matched.  One of my lab partners I got to stab with one of those pointy ended, pencil ended compass things on her face, lip, finger, and neck to see how long it took her to feel more than one point.  Then I got to put marker on my other lab partner, her picture is shown above.  We did this on the back of her hand, her palm, fingertip, forearm, and the back of her neck.  With her eyes closed I was supposed to put a mark on her (purple) and then she was supposed to use another marker to try to mark the same spot.   We did this three times, this is the image of the back of her neck.  This lab partner will hence forth be known as Polkadot :)) She is the one I did the rat disection with :)  And the last lab partner we timed how long, without looking, she could feel a penny on her arm.  I don't have pictures of the other two.  The one I got to stab, I will call her Old Lady. . .she's like 30!!!!!!!!!! O.O and the other one. . .I will call her Penny (I will explain the reason for the nicknames at the end of this post)  We had a lot of laughs today in Lab.

Then we went on to the eye disection.  Poor Mr. Hottie never has the best body parts available to him for us to disect.  There were like 3 buckets of eyes.  This one, I believe it was from 1995, it was covered with mold :(  The ones we did were not, but they were all dry and icky.  Just thought I would share this nasty picture because its fun :D

Then we finally disected the eye.  It was hard to cut because the outside is very tough, not to mention it moves whne you're trying to cut it so we had to pin it down, as you can sort of see in the picture.  Old Lady got squirted with eye juice. . .I cracked up.  Luckily she was standing otherwise it would have got her right in the face lmao.  The circular pink thing is the lense and the tan membrane is the retina. . .see?  I did learn something!  We actually discussed my blog in class today. . .I have no idea how we got started on the subject but I stupidly told Mr. Hottie that I have a nickname for him on my blog so he had to look.  So the entire class knows about my blog now (HELLO FELLO A&P STUDENTS, I HOPE YOU ENJOY MY BLOG :) ) Mr. Hottie spent like an hour looking for his nickname on here, but he couldn't find it.  He found Mr. Hippie's and I told him about Mrs. ADD, Mr. Suicide, and Mrs. Stockings, but I wouldn't tell him his (for the obvious reasons of course!).  He also checked out my twitter :P So we all got discussing nicknames and my blog and what not, a lot of people wrote down the address so I hope they check it out (hello if you did)  Also feel free to add me via facebook, there should be a link on the right hand side ---------------->  (except you Mr. Hottie cuz that would just be creepy. . .just sayin)  But I would like to say that though difficult, I really have enjoyed Anatomy and Physiology and I learned a lot like:  What part of the body grows the most when stimulated???? Think about it

Think about it

Think about it

No!  Get your mind out of the gutter!!!

Think Again!

Yeah. . .its the pupil!!!!! lmao

I also learned how to rememember 12 of the cranial nerves:  Oh Oh Oh To Touch and Feel Virgin Girl's Vaginas and Hymens

(Olfactory, Optic, Oculomotor, Trochlear, Trigeminal, Abducens, Facial, Vestibulocochlear, Glossopharyngeal, Vagus, Accessory, Hypoglossal)  Yup. . .thats what we learned. :) But it was just a lot of fun today, lots of laughs. . .it was a good one.

AVON

I just wanted to let all my readers know that my bestfriend Gabby and I are now selling AVON :)  I am contemplating setting up an online store dealy so people can just buy and shop online from me. . .but I'm not sure, if anyone thinks that would be a good thing that they would frequently use, please let me know :)  So if you like AVON please get ahold of me, you can comment on my blog, email me, or hit me up on facebook (or text me if you know my number of course).  Hope to hear from you :)

Nursing Program

So. . .I am NOW accepted to the nursing program.  I was first rejected. . .which was heart breaking.  I had a nervous break down because it was such a let down and I hadn't a clue what I was going to do with my life (I believe there are previous posts about this).  A few weeks later  I received a letter saying I was being put on an "alternate list" and that anyone that had been accepted decided not to attend I would be accepted.  I didn't really expect to be accepted however because I figured lord only knows how many people are on this list and what not.  Well last friday I got my acceptance letter in the mail. . .At first I wasn't sure what I was going to do.  I was so let down when I was rejected I was, and still am, having a hard time getting excited about this.  But I thought about it and if nothing else its the most practical decision. . .so I accepted my acceptance :P  I'm not really excited, and no. . .I'm not really looking forward to it anymore.  I'm not totally sure why, I guess its because I was so let down.  I don't know.  But yes, I am going to FMCC for nursing starting this fall.  Wish me luck.

Sheep Brains :)

Yesterday in my anatomy and physiology lab we had to disect sheep brains :)  They are really squishy and it was a lot of fun, just thought I'd share some pictures with you.  The full brains are 12 years old and they smelled AWFUL!!!! but the half brains were new and they were more fun and squishy. . .just sayin.

Forget You - Cee Lo Green

Say Hello to Goodbye - Shontelle

Mood: Thoughtful

Weather:  Sunny 

Hey there stranger, how you bin'
Feels like i'm standing on the outside looking in
at the mess we left behind
And it's a long way to fall
I gave you everything I had
I gave it all
And then my heart was on the line

I can't hate you
any longer
I know i'm going to miss you
I'll forget it and let it go.

Say hello to goodbye, cuse its gone forever
No more try, you and I
Not now, not ever
And i'll get by without you
I'm not going back again
I'm not going to lie to you
Cuse, that was there and only then.

Say hello to goodbye
Say hello..

And this is how it has to be
Cuse' its a deadly combination, you and me
You know its undeniable
Even though we tried it all
We brought the worst out in each other
I recall
We can't act it anymore

What doesn't kill you
It makes you stronger
And though i'm going to miss you
I'll forget it and let you go

Say hello to good-bye
Its gone forever
No more try, you and I
Not now, not ever
And i'll get by without you
I'm not going back again
I'm not going to lie to you

Cuse, that was there and only then.
Say hello to goodbye
Say hello..

And even though the tears will dry
I can't completely disconnect
Couldn't make the compromise
Didn't have a safety net

Say hello to goodbye
heeey ya ya

Say hello, goodbye

Say hello to good-bye
Its gone forever
No more try, you and I
Not now, not ever
And i'll get by without you
I'm not going back again
I'm not going to lie to you
Cuse, that was there and only then.

Say hello, to goodbye
Say hello, to goodbye
Say hello, hello
to goodbye.
