New Years post
'There are those who will disagree with me, who feel that to do anything other than bury or cremate the dead is disrespectful. That includes, I suspect, writing about them. Many people will find this book disrespectful. There is nothing amusing about being dead, they will say. Ah, but there is. Being dead is absurd. It's the silliest situation you'll find yourself in. Your limbs are floppy and uncooperative. Your mouth hangs open. Being dead is unsightly and stinky and embarrassing, and there's not a damn thing to be done about it.'
I'm reading a book called 'Stiff: the curious lives of human cadavers." I picked it up in the airport on the flight back here. Interesting stuff. It's all about the different things they do with your body when you're dead. Embalming. Surgery for medical students. Crash test dummies. Ballistics tests. I'm on the chapter about medical cannibalism.
I had my finals in my chemistry class, and midterms in the psych class. Along with the final exam, I also had to do a 10-page research project. I got a 100 on the final exam, waiting for my grade on the paper. The format that I used put it at 20 pages. Explosion at a chemical lab in Jacksonville, Florida. The blast of the explosion was so big that the debris could be seen on the doppler radar. Moved train tracks. Damaged 2 of the 3 generators at the local power plant. Fun stuff. Got a 75 on the midterm though. Oh well.
I'm leaving here in another month or two. It's gonna be sweet.
I start Epidemiology next month. I was supposed to take a CLEP today, but the damn place was closed.
New Years tonight. There's a bar in town we hang out at, gonna celebrate there. It's a little hole-in-the-wall place. No juicies. No ridiculously loud music. Just a place to get a beer with buddies. Should be fun.
Christmas update: Got two cards from friends. Parents haven't sent their package; it's still at the house. Not much from Santa.
Watching Suicide Kings right now. Good movie.
I'm getting addicted to 'Attack of the Show'.
Good feedback on the album. Hell, almost 100 hits within a week. We're topping the charts, baby! Tell your friends.
I'm probably going to take a shower now. You sleep well, little ones.
Always
