I'm Irish.
and soon i'll not only just be irish... but i'll be IN ireland.
so since i'll be leaving for a week, i thought i would leave a little love. a little irish love.
i have a t-shirt that says Kiss Me, I'm an Irish Texan and oh yeah, i'm packing it and wearing it in ireland. god i love american tourists.
in a classroom, there was a message written "To Whoever repeatedly uses the grotty red marker, please clean because it stains"
Grotty.... grotty.... huh.
aussies say toe-MAH-toe (tomato) but they say poe-TAY-toe (potato). if words are spelled the same, shouldn't they rhyme?
i just read an article on an adaptive evolutionist theory on why babies cry at nite. so with natural selection and evolution, the babies that cried the most at nite survived more than the babies that didn't because when crying at nite they keep their mother up to suckle and so she can't make another baby.. thus extending the interbirth interval. so they get all the attention and have a better chance of living instead of another baby coming along and being forgotten. interesting, no? so like upright ancestors outlived the quadrupedal ancestords, the whiny babies have outlived the quiet sleeping babies because they kept their mom from having another baby. far-fetched, but interesting.
i bought a murder mystery book that takes place in ireland to read in ireland. i'll probably regret it, but i'm excited.
i just visited the 'hello my future girlfriend' site (not the original, but it still works) man, that'll never get old.
http://www.xsunderground.com/thechilde/
and wikipedia said he made another site to explain his original site. i don't want to read it tho. i want him to forever be in 6th grade. and forever think he's my future boyfriend.
AND
my friend I. just showed me this awesome site
http://www.geocities.com/asianprince_213/
please have a look around.
well, as little as this entry was, it was out of love.
and now i'm off to take the trash out, clean the dishes, and make sure i have everything ready for ireland.
love and hugs!

Everybody Loves Spider Pig
ok, so this is not my fiji or tasmania post. obvy... i just thought that even tho i haven't gotten around to writing up my winter adventures, i should at least tell y'all what's been going on anyway!
today i was thinking about how bad i am about blogging, and that i'm glad it's not my job. because people out there do get to be paid to be bloggers! and then i started thinking about how in highschool we all took a job assessment test... answer questions and it tells you what you would be good at. i was wondering if 'blogger' has been added to that list. but then i recalled that the test said i should be a school counselor, and no joke, told my friend she should be a bus driver.
in other news, i spent an hour last nite on webmd.com. so i've been running outside about 3-4 times a week (there is a huge botanical garden that is right behind the campus, so it's really nice to jog through there!) and i thought i pulled my right quadricep muscle cause i had this weird sharp pain the next day whenever i walked. so i tried to walk with it for a few days, and then it moved into a lower back sharp pain, and a few days later, it has now settled itself on my right side near my back, like above my hip... aren't kidneys located there?? so i kept trying to look up appendicitis and kidney failure... but nothing gives a symptom of sharp pain when walking in your lower back on your side. so i'm just gonna stick with the idea that i pulled my quadricep muscle but my thigh got pissed it was in pain so it punched my kidney.
i made chocolate covered strawberries last nite! mmmm........
you know what they show late at nite here when no one is watching tv? everybody loves raymond. just like at home.
i made the BEST vegetarian enchiladas in the MICROWAVE the other nite. and i then made sweet potato and pumpkin mash. i have a new found love for pumpkin. it's really darn delicious!
so my life... i'm taking 3.5 classes. yes... i'm talking a half class... lectures don't start until after our 2 week september break. my classes are as follows:
forensic anthropology and archaeology: learning about how bodies decay postmortem. i've only had a few lectures... today's which consisted of a forensic entomologist guest speaker and lots of pictures of maggots eating a dead pig. i now know a lot more about maggots than i ever have, or have wanted to know. how my cousin went through med school, i have no idea. dead bodies are gross. i just want bones. nice, clean, flesh-free bones.
human evolution: this isn't a proper class. it's not technically offered this semester, so my fellow grad student G (the one who i visisted in tasmania) and i meet weekly with our professor and we 'discuss' the lectures he gave last year. we've only met once so far... so i'm not yet sure how informative this class will be...
human society and animal society: learning how animals have a socity and culture and how it has influenced humans. i got to watch a documentary on seagulls pulling out each other's feathers and eating each other's young. so far this semester has been gross.
then my half class is: scientific dating techniques. we will actually get tours of different labs to see people applying the dating technigues... argon/argon dating, radiocarbon, and some like resonance spin? no idea yet. gotta wait til september!
in other news... a great friend from highschool, D got engaged a few days ago and she also got her masters!! she's way ahead of me in the game of life.
socially life is same old same old. playing pool, watching DOOL, hanging out, it's quite lovely.
in class the forensic entomologist pronounced renaissance as 'rah NAY saunce'. weirdies.
this weekend I. asked me to The Law Ball. they don't have dances here, they have balls. so i have to go buy gold shoes tomorrow to go with my green dress!! i hope it's not all lawyer talk. maybe my sister can give me big words or famous cases i can throw out there. or maybe i'll amaze them all with my maggot knowledge
i watched a documentary the other day about the creation/evolution struggle. and in one segment a catholic explained dinosaurs WERE on noah's ark, but they all fell off and drowned. and when they drowned, the fell on top of the water living dinosaurs and pinned them to the ground.
my highschool mentor and favorite teacher just turned himself in for having a sexual relation with a 17 year old student. so that's pretty awesome.
the number 23 is a horrible movie. but... my birthday does add up to 23. so maybe i'm apart of the conspiracy.
the simpson's movie was surprisingly funny! SPIDER PIG! SPIDER PIG!
