Food For Flies.

As a huge fan of entomology(Which is the study of bugs on dead people), I just wanted to give a shout out! FEED THE FLIES. DONATE PERISHABLE FOODS. k, thanks.

TODAY is the DAY!

Many things are happening today. yay!

First off I teach a crime scene class (well the lab for it) at my University which is turning out to be a lot of fun.

We set up six crime scenes yesterday and they will be processed today for the junior class. That, let me tell you, was alot of fun. We had a suicide, a drug ring gone bad, a girl killed with an axe, guy died in his bed, man killed on a couch, and a woman sitting on a computer chair that was shot. Of course the victims are all dummies and the guns are safe to deal with, but overall you really have to think outside the box if you want to find all the clues to the murders.

For example we did hide a gun up in a bowl light on the ceiling because it slipped right in, and my personal favorite, a note that I hid in a projector slide. In case you don’t understand, you must be familiar with overheads and the slides that pull down from the ceiling? Well we pulled the slide down taped a note to it and then rolled it back up. If they find the note I’ll be very impressed.

After lab today, I have two other classes, molecular genetics, and a professional writing class. Not interesting for most people but I really do like genetics. True Nerd, I know.

Later on this evening I am meeting my navy contact to go over the last few things before I go for a physical. woo. I’m getting a littler nervous. Not going to lie. This would mostly be due to the fact that everyone I know is getting a job even in terrible times. Because of this I feel a little rushed to find out about the navy because I really don’t know what I’m going to do if I don’t decide to go into it. I have no other plan. Don’t worry though I really am not going to do it if I don’t feel that it will be right for me. I’m good a picking up on things like that. We’ll just have to see… Please don’t let me come down to the wire. argh.

Finally, best feature of the night is the season premiere of BURN NOTICE! Wooo.  Its coming on, Its coming on. Sooo excited.

And,

BURN NOTICE!!!

In case you are skeptical and haven’t really watched it too much. Today on USA they will be playing the entire second season leading to the Season 3 Premiere. This started at 8am. Sooo, if you have nothing else better to do, get to USA and watch some awesome scenes made by awesome people.

So keep it real. Keep you updated soon enough!

PITTSBURGH’S GOIN TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!!!!!!!!<3

OMG OMG OMG!!!!! Pittsburgh Tribute. THEY ARE HEADING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!!! I loved the game, I loved Troy and I Love all of my Stilllersss!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So we stomped the Ravens. Obliterated them. They didn’t have a chance since the first field goal and they couldn’t even touch us going into the 4th quarter. I’m sorry but that second challenge Harbaugh called. That was very premature and a rooky call. He way underestimated that call and it cost him his last challenge and a time out. Bad Move.

Another bad move is #74 Willie Colon. He pisses me off and he gets a lot of calls against him. Why do they have him in the line up. God. There were some great plays tonight and of course there were some not so great plays. Fortunately for us, there were many more good plays on the side of the Steelers.

Troy, My Main Man, pulled through for us and I loved it!!! The interception was priceless. A great Pick 6 and the run for the touchdown was even better. It didn’t even look like he was running that fast.

What’s more about this greatness is that THE SUPERBOWL IS ON MY BIRTHDAY!!! FEBRUARY 1ST IF YOU WERE WANDERING! How great is that and what more could you ask for then your team playing for the National Championship?!??!?!? I JUST CAN’T EVEN WAIT!!! I’m SOOOOOOOO pumped right now.

Let’s Make it Happen BOOOYYYSSS.

We want to see this again for the sixth time in History.

–Marathon Training Thoughts–

Yesterday, at the end of week 5, I compleed 10 miles. And yes I had the biggest grin on my face during the last lap, but I also say this with exhaustion. I have never run 10 consecutive miles, and after finishing I realized why. Because running that long causes great amounts of pain. When I came back I soaked in a bubble bath for a very very long time. Then I went straight back to bed because I couldn’t function. I didn’t want to do anything last night but my friends convinced me that a bowling night was a must. So I woke up and left around 9pm. After the bowling was over, in which I won woo!, I came back an d crawled straight back into bed.

The marathon training program is actually going great, I’ve completed everything so far, but it is definitely taking a great tool on my body physcially. Since I have had two foot surgeries, a bunion removal from each foot, I have alot of feet problems. Since removing a bunion is one of the most painful surgeries and I had two of them in the 10th grade, you can imagine my problems. They definitely break your bones in different places and reset them with pins. The recovery is long and enduring.

When I get done running such long periods of time, my feet scream, swear, and yell at me. They hate it, but I am relentless. I will run this marathon and I will succeed. It is on my To-Do List and if I don’t do it now, I might never. Sooo, the pain will endure and I will stick to the program.

One question I do have for all of you marathon runner’s out there, is how much weight on average do you lose when you train to and run a marathon? I’m definitely not doing this as as a weight loss program or anything but I am curious???

An Escalator = Life

Comparing an escalator to life, hmmm….

HUGE HUGE Dilema?!?

What do I do??? What do I do??? This is crazy. Sooo today in one of my forensic science classes Max Houck, who is a big name in forensic science [you can find his articles online] teaches my class and just gave us the oppurtunity of a lifetime. Basically, this June, his office is leading a conference in Las Vegas where they are having 200 highly trained personell come together and take classes that range from writing a resume to processing an underwater crime scene. There are about 38 different classes given over the course of the week. Max is giving the graduating seniors an oppurtunity to attend the conference as volunteers in which the airfare, hotel, and per diem will be given. We would be assissting with the conference and instructers and in doing so we would be able to attend the classes and we would be able to talk to those 200 people about possible job oppurtunities.

Wow right. Perfect oppurtunity. Well the thing is that they want to know pretty quickly who wants to attend and who does not. Since I will have to wait until March to see about the Russian scholarship I cannot say for sure that I can attend the conference and if I donnot get the scholarship I will miss out on both oppurtunities. Why did this happen??? I want to choose the right path but now its so hard. What do I do?!? Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I can make the right decision and with it my life will move in the right direction. Gosh. Soo hard.

That’s all for now, but its alot to think about.

P.S. because of such pressing matters and the fact that I am going out to celebrate my last syllabus week I will not be writing a Hump Day Thursday again this week. Check back next week for more sex news.

Stop it with your New Years Resolutions >:-O

I do love winter… I do. Because I love skiing and I love snow. What I can’t stand is freezing weather with no snow and ice that hits my bones. boooo. With this terrible frozen weather we are having, I have not been able to run outside and I have been forced to go to the REC center and run on the treadmill and their tiny track that takes nine laps to make one mile. Double Boooooo.

I’ve been back to school for only four days and already am super pissed. I don’t know anyone who actually lost weight making a New Year’s Resolution to umm… lose weight. You can prove me wrong if you have but seriously those people are sooo annoying. I went to the Rec four times a week last semester and since I’ve gone twice this week I’ve been more pissed then ever.

The machines are packed, the track is double packed, people everywhere. God. I couldn’t even find a free locker tonight because they were all taken. And what pisses me off more is that in one week they will stop being a prick in the real gym goers sides because they will stop coming in masses. Just face it, if you weren’t working out before there’s no hope for you unless you are willing to commit.

Please mediocore weather come back so I can run on the rail trail and give it a week to return to those annoying people that keep getting in the way. Yes, I am being very extreme right now and yes you may have good intentions but I have a marathon to run and I know alot of people that work out at the Rec regularly, that are just as upset.

This is my last effort. Stop trying if you aren’t even going to make it to the second week. You’re just wasting peoples time and doing little to nothing. Sure you’ll probably lose three pounds but you’ll also probably gain it back this weekend when you decide to go out and drink, so really its not going to help.

To those of you who really are making an effort, I can only say that I better see you four weeks from now, and you better be progressing, beacuse people whos New Years Resolution is to lose weight just aren’t serious enough. Be Hardcore.

OMG Mr. Weston is Back! Janurary 22nd

If you haven’t heard I LOVE BURN NOTICE!!! I love it I love it I love it! and I definitely have a thing for Michael Weston [AKA Jeffery Donovan]. You want to know why? The suits. Men just look damn good in suits and Michael can pull it off like he was born to wear it. Yes I do realize that he probably will run a mile in a suit and then change into a different one because its a show, but damn, how does he look so good. In recent news I just found out he was almost forty born in 1968 and even more recenter news I decided that I would still do him because he’s just that good looking. I mean Mmmmm.

So for all of you Burn Notice fans out there, Michael Weston will be returning for Season 3 of Burn Notice on January 22nd, 10pm. That’s next Thursday! Can’t wait. For now, watch season 1 on DVD like I’ve been doing and watch a few episodes from hulu.com or surfthechannel.net. Its well worth your time.

What Cotton Balls are Made Of–! Ha.

Back to School.

Back to school

 Back to school

to prove to Dad that I’m not a fool.

I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight,

I hope I don’t get in a fight.

Ohhhh, back to school.

Back to school.

Back to school.

Well, here goes nothing.

      So I guess this is it, from the words of Billy Madison I’m heading back to school for my final semester and it couldn’t feel more terrible. I don’t want to graduate. I mean I really want my diploma but I like  life a student. With the economy going to shit a little more every day what is out there??? Pretty soon not much. Maybe I should stay and get three more degrees? ha. I wish. Unfortunately there’s no money for that and I have to move on. With the influx of jobless people rising rapidly, graduate school is another story from hell as well. Since people can’t seem to find a job or they have lost the job they already had, there is a much higher precent of students trying to get into grad school than ever before. Great. I’m so glad that this is happening in my generation.

     As much as I love college though, I know that I am not ready to stay. I’ve got to go out there into the world and I’ve got to see what I want to do with my life. That way, going back to grad school should be much easier and I will have a better direction as too what I am going to get a master’s in. As for now I have just about three more months to figure out the rest of my life and tell the Navy that they better accept me into the information warfare officer program. Damnit!@# ha.

     With that on my mind I am still relentlessly thinking about the Russian Scholarship program. I will just die if I get it. Maybe literally? That could quite possibly be the best thing that’s ever happened to me at this time in my life and learning Russian is a main priority for me right now. Especially with the growing need for American language translators. But unfortunately I will not find out if its yay or nay until March sometime. Hopefully I don’t go crazy by then because you do realize that’s still two months away?!?

    Anyway, back to the fact that classes started today. I have class at 4:30 which should be interesting. It is the forensic capstone senior class for my major. One of only four classes that I am taking. Wow.

    Let’s just say this time I don’t think I’m going to be racing to get done. At the end I am packing up and leaving all of the memories behind. I can’t believe it. The Real World is coming and I have nowhere to run and hide. I’ll be crossing over. Nomore baby talk, no more hearing the bell on Chrismas day, Life as I know it will soon be at an end. I just can’t tell you if I’m ready for the new beginning just yet…
