..no work, all play!..

today was such a good day! My first Monday off from work since i can remember...Monday's are generally the busiest days for pharmacies which means i never get Mondays off. Due to some fancy scheduling and some luck i remained off of the schedule today, lucky me!

i got a hello kitty cactus!!

i finally went to the zoo today! i've been wanting to see the baby tigers ever since they were first allowed out! rainy days has kept me away from the zoo and although today wasn't a very pretty day...we took a chance and went anyway! i am so glad we did! the baby tigers are so big already! "when they are next to their momma, they are so small....when they are next to nothing, they are so big!" i hope to keep going and watch them grow up... =)

thanks *J for taking me! maybe next time we go there will be a whale..hehe.

..broken phone..

i don't know who is gunna read this first but......my phone is broken! if any of you peoples that i was supposed to meet up with last nite or this morning read this, please leave me a voice mail with your number so i can call you back! sorry i flaked out last nite but i couldn't help it! as for this morning i am gunna go to the at&t store at 10 when they open...i know we are supposed to meet at 10:30 so this is cutting it close but....i'm trying!

..bad scheduling!..

i just have to complain...

why would an institution make grades available on a day like christmas?! what if you didn't get the grade you wanted and you are bummed all day because of it? So, i didn't study as well as i should have this semester and my vegas weekend didn't help my situation any either. So one of my grades was really riding on my final exam grade...pass or fail...this is serious business! My entire next semester schedule depended on this class and it seemed like so did the rest of my life...what a drama queen, yes i know...but still!

so i wake up to a text message that says grades are posted! i am faced with the decision of jumping out of bed and checking my grade or waiting...of course i wake up to check...i pulled off a miracle! i passed! no-one is excited for me because no-one besides myself actually thought that i would fail. i am sooOOooo relieved! i can breathe again!

although this time my grades were in my favor...besides that one 89% which equated into a B+ (boOo to me for not getting that extra one percent) but really couldn't i have gotten an A-?

grades on christmas...is a bad idea!! =P

..i am so in love..

`in LOVE!

LOoooOOok at this little guy!

O.o.he is a lionhead rabbit.o.O

--he has regular fur like a regular rabbit all over his body, he just has a mane of hair around his face! tooOOoo cute!!

--he makes me smile whenever i look at him, how can you not?!

..xmas party..

~*~we had a pharmacy xmas dinner~*~

O.o.merry xmas from moi!.o.O

..still alive..

i am still alive...kinda. only two more finals to go! I am officially falling off the face of the earth until friday. until then...

..you can't..

it wont be so easy

this time to hurt me

but you can try

this time there are no tears left to cry

if you think you can rule me like before

if you think you can do that anymore

believe me, you wont get too far

after all, you cant break a broken heart

so try your best to break me

there is no damage you can do now

i am immune to you now

you cant break what broke apart

you hurt me before

and wont hurt me no more

no not this time

you might do better messing with someone elses mind

you cant break me down again

dont waste your time

you cant break me any more

than you already have...

..two down..

two finals down..four more to go..

thanks for being great group members...ShortShank and Petit Pierre...

we rocked their socks off! =)

..one down...

one final down...five more to go...blah

so if you were wondering where i have been...

i've been hiding in a text book somewhere

OR

doing research on how to get my hands on the tokidoki for hello kitty collection!

..soil samples..

i am a dork.

i really can't help myself...

this stuff fascinates me.

we ran experiments on soil samples that were randomly collected outside. Let me first tell you that microorganisms that produce antibiotics (the medicine you get when you are sick) capable of inhibiting the growth of other microorganisms are found in the soil! So next time you are romping around outside, think that you could be stepping on a microorganism that is yet to be discovered yet could have the potential to save your life in the future! or even just cure your cold.

this is a plate with two separate antibiotic producing organisms amongst many other types of bacteria. do you see how all the organisms grow alongside each other? Now look at the purple circle. notice how there is a clear zone surrounding the circle in the middle? That clear zone is caused by an antibiotic that is being produced, it is killing the other bacteria around it. Do you see another little guy that is producing antibiotics too?

...so much bacteria...so much potential...


the growth in the middle is just more growth of the initial organism. The little lines on the side are other types of known bacterias. Our little unknown organism produced antibiotics that were useful against the two bacteria species on the left hand side...see how there is no growth?

dorky? yep it sure is! =)

..tokidoki tree..

now this is what i call a perfect christmas tree!

complete with tokidoki presents under the tree!

there is even hello kitty on strings and even the ball has a mean face on it! i just love it! =D

..uh-oh..

look at what i found online!! it is being released in Japan on the 10th..who knows if or when it will come to the US. people are already taking pre orders for them on ebay..i WANT! yes, we already went through this ordeal with the white collection and yes, i have the entire white collection and yes, i am a "brat" according to someone but....i just can't help it. look at the pink ones, it looks like the crystals are pink and green! time to start stalking the sanrio store again..

..whoohoo..

brian

`look at how close we were to them...whoohoo!

..i studied..

FOR NOTHING!

my flight was delayed! we left vegas on time, were flying in the air for two hours and then they made us turn around and go back to vegas! i was already freaking out, counting the hours i had left to make it back home on time to take my exam. counting and counting, if they take one hour to fix the plane i can still make it...if they take two hours...i can go straight to school from the airport and take my exam in my tinkerbell sweats...if they take any longer i am screwed. so sitting in the airport i think i almost lost my mind, no, i take that back, i did lose my mind checking my watch and watching as the minutes flew by, taking my chances to take my exam with them. So they said two hours to fix the plane...and granted they gave me a false sense of hope because they started to reboard the airplane before their two hours were up but....they made us sit in the plane in the airport for and hour and a half! so much for being on time...i really studied too...crap. so wanna know my exam grade? i don't even have to wait until the exams are handed back...i got a ZERO! ='(

i'll post about bsb later..i've got a huge paper due tomorrow. i dont wanna fail everything.. =/

..broken network..

oh and btw my phone has been broken all day today and parts of last nite. not sure whats going on but something is wrong with the network. so i can't get any messages nor any phone calls. love you all! good nite..im gunna read my text book now..... =/

..vegas weekend..

so my vegas weekend is finally here! I fly out friday afternoon, right after my last class and i come home monday morning at 6:30 to take an exam at 10:30. So of course i decided to start studying a long time ago so i wouldnt have to bring my textbook with me and so i won't fail my exam monday morning. As usual, i found other things to do and here we are at the weekend and i have yet to study! I am bringing my textbook with me but my friend said why bother, you aren't even going to open it! ah...oh wells. vegas...here i come! i can't wait to see you all up there and get ready we are gunna party like there is no exam on monday! lol!

..fearless..

fearless is not the absence of fear

its not being completely unafraid

fearless is having fears

fearless is having doubts and lots of them

fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death

fearless is falling in love again, even though you've been hurt before

fearless is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again...even though every time you've tried before, you've failed

its fearless to have faith that someday things will change

fearless is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you feel like you cant breathe without them

when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they'll never stop doing, its fearless to stop believing them

loving someone despite what other people think is fearless

letting go is fearless

then to move on and to be ok..that is fearless too

no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it

you have to believe in love stories, prince charmings and happily ever after

LOVE is FEARLESS

when you are ready to live fearlessly

come and find me...

i'll be here.
