hello world. since i last blog-posted i have had the flu for a week, quit sonic (they made me work while i was coming down with the flu--NOT COOL), and enrolled in a human anatomy class at OSU-OKC. well, i have done other things, like eating and stuff, but who wants to know about that. you do? okay. while visiting clark's parents we were served Gundelsheim brand original German recipe barrel red cabbage. i guess it is similar to sauerkraut... but better! it is slightly sweet and a little tangy, and clark and i both enjoy it immensely. kae served the cabbage with grilled bratwurst, and i just imitated her meal almost exactly, with the addition of roasted lime broccoli. delicious!

now that food is out of the way, let's discuss my forthcoming summer biology experience. in all of my college years (i graduated high school six years ago this month... yikes!), i have taken many a science class, including lots of biology. that is what you focus on when your intention is nursing school... eventually. but one class i never took was human anatomy, and for good reason! the community college i attended and got my associates in science from was killer in the science department, and their anatomy class was CADAVER DISSECTION. yes, as in the dissection of dead human bodies. i couldn't hack it (no pun intended), so i avoided it and took lots of other classes that are all valuable and necessary. well, fine and good until you actually have to enroll in nursing school (not that i have been accepted yet, but i am anticipating?). completion of a course in human anatomy is a requirement prior to enrolling in the nursing program at WOSC (the two-year school in altus that i hope to attend), and my only available option this summer is another cadaver dissection course at OSU-OKC. which means all this time i have spent avoiding cutting open people has been for naught. sheesh.

there is another important detail of my life: my recent discovery that britain's got talent. makes me cry every time.

good day to you all!
