A Very Valuable Quote From FTS10

"All things are poison and nothing is without poison, only the dose permits something not to be poisonous."
-Philippus Theophrastus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim (Paracelsus)

I distinctly remember that the difference between a poison and a parasite medicine is that the medicine is a small enough dosage to only kill the invading organisms. If the dosage was upped it would kill the infected organism.
This lesson I learned from Bob is grade school when he was teaching us about getting rid of parasites in a fishtank.

Seasons

It's like Santa Cruz all over again here, minus the fog. One day is summer, the next day is winter. And sometime half a day is sunny and bright and warm and the other half is rainy and cold.
crazy weather.

Oh right, and its bright and funny with a clear sky because today they predicted thunder storms. I swear its in the job description of the weather people, they have to predict thunderstorms at least one day a year, even if it doesnt look like there will be any.

Essay

For once I'm actually not dreading writing my english paper. We are supposed to write a 3 page argumentative paper arguing for the side that you do NOt believe in. So I get to write a 3 page pro-life paper. I'm excited, I like arguing, and playing devils advocate.

Sorry if its confusing. I just woke up.

so I had a Very Lucky Day yesterday. It was kinda crazy. I had to get to the train station by 10:45 to catch my train so my mom could pick me up in San Jose at 1:40. That shouldnt have been too hard, I got out to class at 10:00 and had a ride to the station. But I'm a teenage and I cut it too close and as I walked towards the train I saw it leaving the station at 10:47. The next train didnt come untill 12:25, which ment that i had to sit at the train station for over an hour, and I wasnt sure if I had a ride home once I got into SJ because my mom had a massage to do. So I was upset, I cried and got all sad, called my mom, told her she didnt have to pick me up, and my dad, leaving a message asking for a ride home from the later train. Then I called my friends who had dropped me off telling them that I missed the train. Then I had an idea. The boyfriend was comming home from tahoe that day. I called him just in case he hadnt passed Davis yet. and guess what? He was at the In N Out IN DAVIS!!!! so I could WALK over there from the train station and they gave me a ride home! The toll was cash, grass, or ass. so I paided my way and got the double bonus of a quicker ride into town with my boyfriend. It was great. I was amazed at how well everything worked out, how it was bad to miss my train but it was better that way. terrible luck led to wonderful luck. kinda crazy.


And

Last night I had a strange dream. At first I had no idea where the idea for it came from, but then this morning when I told it to my mom I figured it out. Does it sound familiar to anyone else? Sara?
So apparentally this one lady, for now she will be Celest, had gone to highschool with my mom, and she was mad because my mom stole her boyfriend or somthing like that. And then my mom moved to paris and Celest wanted to move to paris but she couldnt because my mom moved there. Then my mom moved to Santa Cruz, so Celest couldnt move there either. So Celest had to live in Davis. And Celest and her son both hate me and my mom's guts. Which is ridiculous and I tried to tell them that in the dream. As I came near Celest she backed away and didnt even want to touch or get near me, I was so pissed off and wanted to talk to her and I guess tell her how stupid she was or ask why she hated me so much. Then her son was around and he hated me too. And was jumping over me for some reason and I remember yelling, if you step on my I will fucking take you to court! I was very upset with both of them.

So sound familiar anyone? another Mother mad at me because my mom stole her bf? Veronica Mars! My dreams are almost always based on something I have seen or read.

I have an essay to write...

Sometimes, I go check my midterm grades, just one more time, so I can see my 102% in Food Science, and 85% in Chemistry. It makes me happy on the inside.
So far it looks like this week is going to be pretty easy homework-wise. I just have to write my rough draft, which I am STILL avoiding. After this blog I swear I'm gonna start it-- or go eat food :) No really I'll start it.
After today, I will have much less homework that is actually due, which means that I will have time to study Chemistry, Food Science, and maybe even start on my resume, along wiht looking for houseing and fun stuff like that. Oh and go to the gym. Each night of last week was spent not going to the ARC(the gym) because I would FOR SURE go the next night. But I swear I'll go this week, really!
I wonder if it makes a difference if you water plants with tea... hopfully its extra good for them, because I decided to use my tea instead of Smartwater.
And I still cant figure out why it smells like chicken noodle soup in my room.
Pretty much half my floor is deathly sick, and by floor I mean my floormates, my linolium isnt coughing and sneezing. Ive noitced that in college there is always someone who is sick. In a 500 person lecture hall there is never a moment of silence, be it durring lecture or a midterm, there is ALWAYS someone coughing. So I'm getting lots of sleep, water, vitamins, and echinacia. Yes I know that there is no scientific proof that echinacia works but I figure even if it has no effect I'll take it anyway for the placebo effect. I believe I am taking something to prevent me from getting sick, so even if the pill doesnt work I'm still less likely of getting sick just because I believe so. I learned that in class too. :)
Ok NOW I'm gonna write an essay...
