now that I'm a student I feel that it's my duty to waste as much time as possible by searching the internet looking for pointless but entertaining sites, then sharing them with everyone. Check this out:

Today's Lesson

Here's what I learned at school today:
1. if you lock your car doors and close them before getting your keys out of the ignition, you cannot get back into your car without
a. breaking a window
b. waiting for your mom to bring your spare key
2. if your cell phone is also in the car, it make everything more difficult.
3. UB's North campus is the coldest, windiest place on earth.
4. Your bladder shrinks in the cold.
5. If you plan on standing outside for an hour or more waiting for a key because you locked your keys in your car, it's a bad idea to drink a travel mug of coffee on the way to class, a can of diet coke in class, and a Venti latte while waiting for the key. Especially If you're waiting at UB, the coldest place on earth, since your bladder just keeps shrinking.
6. I'd rather be standing outside in the cold at UB waiting for my key holding myself than sitting in a classroom at ECC listening to a chem lecture.

I had school again today. I remembered how to get to UB (I didn't have to call anyone for directions), I remembered where to park and where my class was. I felt so grown up! And then I answered questions in class! I knew that pi and the square root of 2 and 3 are all irrational numbers. I can even tell you why. Because they all have numbers after the decimal point that don't repeat a pattern or end. I am SO SMRT! I can do algebra on a 10th grade level!

Then I went to work and took an x-ray that somehow came out upside-down and backwards...I hope my assistans are better than I am when I take over the office.

Alge-what?

Today I started school. I had algebra and physics. Not only did I feel kinda stupid (adding big numbers like 7 and 8 is hard! and so is getting around UB, but that's another story for another time), I felt very immature. Here's why:
When I was in 5th or 6th grade I took algebra with everyone else in my grade. One of my friends, either Julie or Maggie, once called it "alge-boobie-holder." Now everytime I hear someone say "algebra" I giggle a little bit.
Physics isn't as funny.

So, one day last week I woke up early. At 4 am. I had to be at Sister's Hospital at 6 am, therefore I had to be up at 4. I got dressed and walked out to my car, expecting it to be in one piece and everything that I had left in it to still be there, because that's what normally happens. Well, I opened the drivers door and there were papers all over the seat. I thought to myself, "Hm...I know my car was messy, but I thought I at least kept the drivers seat cleaned off." Then I realized that my boots were gone. And the stereo. And the back window was smashed. On the way to the hospital I realized that my datebook was also gone, and my checkbook was in it. Not good.

Well, I made it to the hospital, and had my galbladder and appendex removed. It was actually a very enjoyable process. I enjoy anesthesia, and really like demerol. I also am slightly addicted to apple juice, which is about the only injestable food item that was offered to me during my 28-hour stay. Since I got home I'm recovering nicely. I've been in some pain, but, really, I expected it. I mean, I had 2 organs removed. And 4 holes cut in my stomach, through skin and muscle and and other stuff that's in there. I'm still a little sore and can't lift some heavy stuff but otherwise I"m fine.

So, back to my car story. I was mostly upset because my favorite cd was in the stereo. The person who broke into my car didn't steal any of my other cds, so I know he didn't really want the Melissa Ethridge cd in the stereo, it was just a mistake. He didn't mean to take it. Well, a few days later I was walking out the door and flipped through my cd book to find something to listen to on the way to work. Imagine my surprise when I found my favorite Melissa Ethridge cd put away nicely in one of my cd books. I though, "what a nice thief," took the cd and went to work. The next day I went to the bank to close my account (since he had stolen my checks) and open a new one. THe teller gave me a list of the recent activity on the account I was closing and there was and $80 deposit made with one of my deposit slips that I didn't make. I said to the teller, "I didn't make that deposit" and he said, "well someone with your deposit slips must have. Do you want me to take the money out?" I, of course, said, "well, no." The dumbest (or nicest maybe...) thief in the world broke into my car.
