hello folks...  no, i have not dropped off the face of the planet, although i may be teteering.  by request, i have decided to update this thing.  i also am in the middle of a ten-page paper (on sexual pathways in the brain... yeah... that's right.  i do sex research...), so anything to do that's not what i'm supposed to is fantastic. i don't think i could have said that in any wordier a way.  whatever.  i'm not here to share my wonderful grammar. 

so, let's see, what's up...  well, i had a fun thanksgiving break.  i went up to ny with my aunt and uncle to see my two cousins who are up there.  i went to see my first opera at the Met- Tannhauser by Wagner.  That was interesting, and it was quite surprising that I did not fall asleep because I was pretty sleep deprived by that point.  I also got to work a 10 hr shift at the pediatric ER at Mt. Sinai Hospital, which was really cool.  i got to see everything from a guy getting his leg re-set after breaking it to a 7 month old's skull fracture to an amazing feat of immature bowel movement, where a newborn preemie shot out poo LITERALLY 2 ft from butt to farthest projection.  it was quite impressive.  she was tiny too.  i think she was maybe 12 inches long.  itsey bitsy baby with major gasiness.  i know that by now you're thinking, "and i'm spending my two minutes to read about baby poo?"

yes.  so now, i'm in the midst of reading days.  i have to finish my ten-page paper by tonight because i won't have time to do it later.  soo much work. it's insane.  i wonder if i can handle my courseload next semester, which might be harder... i'm kind of scared.

as for other stuff.. hmm...  i can't wait to go home, but that's probably a pretty typical sentiment.  i realized that i've gotten a lot nerdier since coming to college.  it's really weird.  when i say nerdier, i mean, i enjoy my education far more than i ever have in the past.  my semester is ridiculously hard but i've also enjoyed it the most because of what classes i'm taking, etc.  it's really weird.  yeah, but i'll stop talking about that.  we need not stress melissa's nerdiness.

ah yes, for my brother's birthday, i baked a lot of cookies.  a lot of cookies... i think i may have a picture somewhere.  it was first day of thanksgiving break, and all my roomies had left for home, so i was all sad and alone in the house.  the cure?  to bake!

yes.  found the pictures.  here they are:



and all packaged up:



and i shall end my entry on that sweet note.

so i'm in chem class, quite bored, until my professor decides to explain what a barometer is to the class by drawing this picture of it.



yeah... i started laughing.  people stared at me, but i know they wanted to laugh too but weren't as immature as i am.  i mean, it has a length of 760 mm, and as my friend Jason pointed out, it even has hair...

so, chem class does have its interesting moments.

k, so i just looked at that entry, and it makes me sound like a huuuuge nerd.  okay, so in the social realm, let me see.  went a pimps and hoe's party last night.  don't have pictures, or i'd post 'em.  um.. for july 4th, i got to hang out with christina's cool cousin, andy, who also goes to penn.  somehow, by the end of the night, he ended up with his shirt off, but who knows.  alcohol + holiday = weird stuff.  yeah, def gave christina a drunken phone call, so yay christina!

hmm... i also have fallen into country music.  it's sooo good!  you guys should listen to some brad paisley.  yes.  that's the rest of my update.  bye.


You know those public profile things on these xangas?  the ones that you can see if you browse through a blogring.  i was browsing one of my blogrings and saw my site and realized that i have had a spelling error in there for all this time.  that was a fantastic entry.  i guess i should write more... let me see... what have i been up to this week?

oh yeah, yesterday, i killed a rat by mixing up the volumes of the drugs i was giving it for brain surgery (we use ketamine for anyone who has heard of it.  it's an animal tranquilizer- slang i think is special k or something?).  yeah, gave it 0.15 mL of ketamine and 0.30 mL of xylazine (a muscle relaxant), instead of 0.30 mL of ketamine and 0.15 mL of xylazine.  and then its eyes glazed over, and it died.  yay me...  and what else did i do, you ask?  i also  took pictures of rats having sex.  that's great.  now you see why i don't update often?

fyi, i'm not a sick perv, it was for research purposes... i swear.
