Go figure that as soon as I WANT to get pregnant, it doesn't happen. Maybe I need to actively avoid getting pregnant in order to get pregnant. Maybe if I get back on the pill, it will happen.
I'm trying to avoid frivolous use of computers so as to not exacerbate the carpal tunnel. Also, to enhance my quality of life. So far, I cut down. But the more I sit at home, the more it becomes a temptation. So I try to stay busy with other things. And that is a good start to enhancing the quality of my life.
I am also enjoying my new bohemian lifestyle.
That's all. Not worth ruining my hands over a single further sentence in this damn thing!

Someone from the military just e-mailed all of the students, trying to get the med students to enroll as navy doctors in exchange for scholarships. I was naughty: my reply to her was "I thought that the military was supposed to take lives, not save them." I am about to be so harassed for this comment.
I'm still really upset about my school actively trying to recruit military and getting covetted spaces on campus for their military training. Let our students make something good out of themselves. Let them become real doctors. Taking advantage of impressionable youth is so dirty.

Wow...
I got a copy of someone's online reservation and found this on it:
Base Fare
$ 0.00
Excise Taxes
$ 0.00
Segment Fee
$ 0.00
Passenger Facility Charge
$ 0.00
September 11th Security Fee
$ 5.00
So this is what is comes down to: $5 so the TSA can strip search you, sexually harass young girls, racially profile people, steal money from innocent people, falsely imprison people... and where is our $5 going? Whose pockets?
(yes, I can cite references to each of these incidents- often, multiple times).
Cuba is starting to look like an attractive future place of domicile.

Okay, I'm going to say this, but only because barely anyone is on here anymore. I haven't seen most of my friends in awhile because I have no car. My closest friends require road trips. So I've been putting it off. Then I'm on break, and still make no plans. Then the first week of April, everyone and their mom has something planned and I absolutely have to go. And I'm equally guilt-tripped into visiting them all because I haven't seen most of them in forever and for some of them, this is my last chance to see them for awhile.
Oops.
Oops.

I just got back an essay. She loved the parts that I thought were horribly thought out. She hated the parts that I thought were brilliant. I was writing exactly what I'd been told to look for, and it wasn't good enough. Maybe this means something. Stop regurgitating what I think they want and think for myself?

Someone posted this adorable blasphemy: Which brings up this old joke:
Why God Failed to Earn Tenure
1. He published only one book.
2. It was in Hebrew.
3. It had no references.
4. He did not publish it in refereed journals.
5. There is significant doubt He wrote it Himself.
6. He is neither collegial nor a regular coauthor.
7. Sure, He created the world, but what has He done lately?
8. He did not get permission from any review board to work with human subjects.
9. When one experiment went awry, He tried to cover it up by drowning all the subjects.
10. When sample subjects do not behave as predicted, He deletes the whole sample.
11. He rarely comes to class - and just tells His students to read the Book.
12. It is rumored that He sometimes lets His Son teach the class.
13. Although He only has 10 requirements, students often fail His tests.
14. He expelled His first two students for learning.
15. His office hours were infrequent and usually held on a mountain top.
Nowadays, nobody gets credit for their own work anyway, haha.

To all those women who think they needs guns and t-shirts to not get raped:
I carry neither. All I carry is common sense and confidence. Instead of raping me after a chill day of skinny-dipping and drinking by the river, the questionable-looking men instead ESCORT me out of the raspberry bushes so I can get back safely. When men are jerks, it's because they are jerks, not because you let them be jerks.
Also, today was amazing. There's nothing like a warm run then cool swim in the middle of a non-busy day. Just what this mama needed.
