I want to start this post by announcing the winner to the mad-lib contest.
First, Kristen, I don't talk about integrals, right now I only discuss derivatives. Also, I don't really talk to David about that kind of stuff. Sorry.
Secondly, Tom thank you for your suggestion. But I will not just come up with a rule on the spot, I learn from the posts....SO, from now on, only one entry per person. (You didn't even come up with one Thomas.)
Allison, you are so correct, I got excited over my squid (we will talk more about that in a minute). As for the other thing, that is nerdy, but not my kind of nerdy.
Lindsey, I so get excited over May 27, you hit the nail on the head with that! I am grinning from eat to ear!
But, gosh I hate doing this, the winner is..........I know! Our first tie!!!!!!! YAY Lindsey and Allison!!!

I will write you a poem.....

You two rock,
like an artist with a smock,
You make want to dance like a fool,
and when I do, I still look cool!

Ok, that poem was about me really.....so I am giving you two and air hug, and I have your present Allison (I will talk about that later), and Lindsey I have a special present for you that you will get on Saturday!!!!!

Moving right along. I promise this post will not be as long as the last one, I don't know what came over me.

Thank you all for your support though!

Today I had acting, I adore that class! Afterwards I talked to my teacher for like 2 hours, about monologue and transferring and life in general.....I like her, she said I remind her of herself and we get along really well. I can see that she will be a mentor to me in the future.

Then I had lab....WE DISSECTED SQUID!!!! It was so cool!!!!!!!!!!!! My partner didn't want to touch it so I got to do everything!!!! We were told to find where the eyes were and I did, it exploded and purple goo ooozed out of the eye....(sorry if you have a weak stomach)....Inside the eye is this little pearl looking ball, I don't know its exact function...but I saved it and am giving it to Allison....Oh, I named my squid Fredrick (pronounced Free-drick)....He (actually a she) was about 8 inches long, and had red spots on him. The only bad thing was the whole room smelled like fish. I hate fish so much....so I wore gloves and didn't get the full effect. I hate fish more than anything in the world and was going out to lunch afterwards and if I smelled the slightest bit of fish I would not have eaten....so I took precaution and wore gloves.

I had a really good lunch at the cafeteria place. Beef fajitas, beans, rice, and french fries.
I have discovered the best thing ever. It is the worst thing nutritionally but it tasted awesome. French fries dipped in refried beans....Oh my goodness......yum.

I also had calc. I was really close to getting up and teaching the class...she is adding in extra steps that are just confusing the class, and then tries to use vegetable analogies to try and....it was dumb....not to mention the kid asking all the questions was a little slow. Even though my teacher went a little too far. The way she wrote it on the board made it clear how to get to point B from point A.....
What I mean is: We were taking the derivative of a^x, which is a^x * lna. She had like 5 steps in between those two points...but it was obvious how to get from one point to another. It was just frustrating that people would be confused and then she would kind of give up and start all over....

Anyway...My roommate went home early and I have had the room to myself all today and I will all of tomorrow until I get picked up.

That is all I believe I will write for now. I have some things to do and then I will retire.

Oh, I just watched the season premier of Pushing Daisies....it was a good one! Excited for next weeks show!

Bon Appetit!
