and this is how i will decorate my room:

i like it...i think it will feel warm and clean and comfy.

carrière.

i've decided that if my career in medicine doesn't work out (which it will work out, i have faith and i have clocked in way too many hours towards it...plus i love medicine too much for it to not work out), but just in case, i am going to work for the CIA. i mean, that would be such a cool job. i would have to learn like 7 languages and how to be sneaky. i would have to train physically and mentally for the stress of the job. i would have to throw away my clumsiness and my big, dumb mouth. but dang, what a cool job. keeping a look out for bad guys and keeping people safe...hopefully.

démarreurs de conversation.

i should be studying (1) because i have a test in an hour & (2) because no one reads this anyway. but instead of studying i am on here...


facts:

1. my favorite dr. seuss book is oh, the places you'll go! mostly because i like the idea of making goals and going places.


2. the longest i've ever gone without sleep was a straigt 42 hours. i hallucinated. at one point i thought i was dead. and then when i finally got to sleep, i had terrible nightmares.


3. my favorite sounding word is amygdala (definition: almond-shaped groups of neurons located deep within the medial temporal lobes of the brain in complex vertebrates, including humans; plays primary role in memory and emotional reactions.)


4. my least favorite sounding word is crunchy.


5. while i have never been stung by a bee/wasp/hornet/etc., i have eaten a bee before by accident. it landed on my airhead during recess in 3rd grade and i chomped it down.


6. i am so afraid of heights that, to this day, i still cannot jump off of a swing.


7. my favorite breakfast food is french toast, topped with powdered sugar and butter, and lathered in syrup...i haven't had it in over 2 years. dang.


8. i absolutely love musicals. miss saigon, les miserables, west side story, chicago...definately a guilty pleasure.


9. i like my food to touch. i'm not someone who needs it to be seperated.


10. i hate vegetables. i cringe when i eat salads. if i could survive (and be healthy) by eating only meat...i totally would.


11. i have big, ugly feet.


12. i always have really dry cuticles...and i can't stand to leave them alone, i'm constantly picking at them.


13. i really love the idea of being a wife and mother.


14. i suck at cooking. really suck.


15. i want to spend a full year outside of the united states, just living and learning about a different culture/way of life.

anyway, hope that didn't waste your time.

here is a good book to read:
