PBAdancer (7:06:51 PM): you should just smile
PBAdancer (7:07:04 PM): it's a lot easier to laugh if you're already smiling
PBAdancer (7:07:36 PM): unless you're around people that aren't funny then the smile becomes an awkward substitute for the laugh
PBAdancer (7:07:53 PM): but most people can tell when you're substituting it like that

PBAdancer (7:08:08 PM): personal*

PBAdancer (7:11:10 PM): wow....I'm falling quickly to the ground
PBAdancer (7:11:16 PM): this is going to hurt
PBAdancer (7:11:32 PM): I didn't make it to the road so I probably won't even die
PBAdancer (7:11:36 PM): that's annoying
PBAdancer (7:11:52 PM): I should have brought a knife with me to finish off the job
PBAdancer (7:12:05 PM): are you happy?!?!?! this is what you pushed me to!!!
PBAdancer (7:12:30 PM): look me in the eye and tell me that you don't find me attractive!!!!!

Happy Bifocals at the Moniter Liberation Day!

Fri, 01 Dec 2006 22:28:11 GMT

i got my pcat scores today! keep in mind that these numbers are not showing the percentage of information i got right, but the percentage of people who's scores were lower than mine. i took this test against thousands of aspiring pharmacists in florida. this was my first time taking the test, but many who took this test were taking it for the 2nd or 3rd time.

verbal:82%
biology: 99%
reading: 62%
quantitative: 93%
chemistry: 76%

Composite score: 92%

i needed a 50% composite score to get into my school of pharmacy. i'm kind of happy about all this.

in other news, i got a job as a telecounselor at pba. my job is to call prospective students (juniors and seniors in highschool) and answer any questions they have about pba. Also, on Wednesday, i popped my kneecap out of joint, but it popped back in again and i just have a pulled muscle. It hurts still, so i have to hobble around for a while, but i should be fine in a week or so. i come home for xmas break in 15 days.

A Typical Evening

Sun, 05 Nov 2006 14:44:02 GMT

8:30pm - began 5 question organic chemistry homework (estimated time of completion - 9:30)

11:00pm - finished problems 1-4

2:45am - finished problem 5

total time it takes to teach ones self one chapter of organic chemistry - appx. 6.25 hrs. the quality of my "professor's" "teaching" makes me sad inside.

please understand why i haven't been in touch with the people i care about this semester. i'm pretty sure i spend more time doing chemistry than i do sleeping.

Person of the day: Alexis
Relationship to Tejla: study buddy

nominated because if doing homework was a chemical reaction, Alexis would be the enzyme that lowers my activation energy and makes the reaction a lot more likely to occur.

Happy Fish Tank Floorshow Day!

Fri, 29 Sep 2006 03:00:16 GMT

please don't ask me what a fish tank floorshow is. It just makes me miss Stewert.

i recently realized that everyone might not know about my car accident. The first week of August i was driving to a friend's house and lost control of my car going around a curve and went into a heavily wooded area at 55 mph. My car was totaled and did not have airbags. My dad figured out what happened based on the tire tracks and his fairly in depth understanding of physics, and neither he nor anyone else who examined the facts can figure out with scientific evidence why i am not dead. My injuries included a scraped knee, some bruises, and a scrape on my elbow. i was wearing my seat belt, but despite the sudden impact, i did not break my collar bone or any other bone in my body. the reason i didn't die is Jesus. plain and simple. He is my Lord and Savior. i'm going hard after Him. come too.

Person of the Day: Claude
Relationship to Tejla: acquaintance

nominated for his persistence and good humor when trying desperately to remember my name and resorting to guessing, he has the potential to be a great friend if he could just remember who i am... i feel kind of cruel for letting him keep on trying. example: "Tiffany? Tanya? Tesha? Tazia? Tabitha? Teluka? Tameeka? Talula? Tanequa? i know it starts with a "T"!"

poor guy.

Person of the Day: Awesome Ashlea
Relationship to Tejla: girl down the hall

nominated for her sincere understanding when Beka and i informed her we needed to give her an adjective to remember her name, and for her bravery last night in the face of breaking curfew, this girl has a passion you don't see much these days. She gets excited about going to church like a little kid gets excited about Chuck E. Cheese's and has no fears that i know of.

Happy Pause the World Day!

Thu, 21 Sep 2006 23:32:38 GMT

Why is it such a bad thing to have your house infested with ants? First of all, i won't accept the answer that "it's just gross", because if you think about how many anthills the construction of your house destroyed, it's only fair that you would let them visit every now and then. They aren't disgusting little bugs, they're creatures that you had a part in massacring. Secondly, what's the harm? i understand there are a few types of ants that bite, but i've never seen them come inside. All the little buggers do when they come in is look for crumbs or dirty dishes, just anything to munch on. How is that any different than a dog? Besides the fact that you never have to feed them, spend time with them, or clean up any messes of course.

Favorite Person of the Day: Michelle
Relationship to Tejla: friend at PBA

nominated for her amazing British(?) accent, you would never guess this blonde hair, blue eyed belle was from Zimbabwae. Not only is she a strong Christian and a loyal friend, she is also one of the most sincerely loving people i've ever met. i really do adore her.

Happy Time's Up Day!

Sun, 17 Sep 2006 18:17:45 GMT

hey yall, i was just wondering what you all thought of the Pluto's planetary license being revoked. Actually, what i was really wondering was if anyone has come up with a new acronym. i encourage all facebook users to join the group "When I was Your Age, Pluto was a Planet". Pluto will always have a place in my heart as a planet.

Favorite Person of the Day: Sarah Crabtree
Relationship to Tejla: girl on my hall (she lives in the quad)

nominated for her mermaid/rockstar hair, hand motions to help people remember her last name, and authentic desire to know Jesus.

Happy Someday!

Sat, 16 Sep 2006 00:20:13 GMT

No seriously, it really is "Someday". I guess that means that if you ever told a person you would do it "someday" you meant you would do it today. Better get crackin! The passion for unheard of holidays and observances is rapidly becoming popular at PBA. Yesterday was the first TNL of the year. TNL is a student lead service with fun music and always an awesome message, usually from a ministry major. For whatever reason, they decided to kick off this year with a display of amazing talent from a former prince charming candidate. As it was cream-filled donut day, they had him hula-hoop, "sing" underoath, and munch on a cream-filled donut (last year it was a big mac). It was quite a spectacle.

Favorite Person of the Day: my mommy
Relationship to Tejla: my...mommy

nominated because [40,000 pages removed] ...and finally, because it's her birthday.

P.S. Stewart the fish died over the summer.

so if you auditioned for a band, would you take it as a good or a bad sign that the director asks when you're done "have you considered taking private lessons?" ouch man, ouch.

Favorite Person of the Day: Lisa
Relationship to Tejla: neighbor

nominated for her humility despite her academic brilliance, her gentleness, friendliness, respectfulness, and modesty. i can't walk to class without seeing at least 3-5 dress code violations because people here just don't seem to care, but Lisa took the initiative to find someone and verify that her perfectly modest top was in fact in compliance with dress code.

Thu, 31 Aug 2006 00:36:25 GMT

so there wasn't an evacuation after all, but they cancelled classes! that means i got almost all my pros and none of my cons. sweet. we were required to be in our dorms by 9pm last night and weren't allowed to leave til 10:30 this morning, so we had a hurricane party! there was a spoons tournament, a ping-pong tournament, lots of pool and video games, good food, and a fun way for everyone in the res hall (ODP) to meet each other...

pros of an evacuation:
-no classes
-get to visit someone and spend quality time with them
-get workship hours (community service) if i go to a shelter
-i would have several more days to get dance stuff together
-nice little vacation
-none of my family members would be freaking out about my safety

cons of an evacuation:
-have to figure out where i'm going
-very short notice for whoever i stay with
-very little time to book a flight
-travel cost
-won't know if my stuff is underwater while i'm gone
-i just got all my stuff unpacked last week; packing up again would stink
-wouldn't get to spend time with the girls on my floor

Favorite Person of the Day: Jessica

Happy Race Your Mouse Around the Icons Day!

Tue, 29 Aug 2006 00:26:16 GMT

This morning my alarm went off at 8:00am. i sat up, opened my laptop, and went to weather.com. It said that Ernesto was now a tropical depression. the map showed a picture of Ernesto hitting the southern most tip of Florida and heading north up the peninsula. i got ready and went to class where i was informed that Ernesto is supposed to be swinging up the east coast and hitting us head on. i just got off the phone with my mom who recounted the evening news which reported that Ernesto was heading for the gulf. maybe a little less money exploring other planets and a little more money toward figuring out our own?

Favorite person of the Day: Beka Wilson!
Relationship to Tejla: roommate

nominated for her outstanding dance ability, gentle personality, and hunger for God, Beka enjoys long walks on the beach and salsa dancing. she is also quite single!

Thu, 24 Aug 2006 19:33:11 GMT

so far i loooooove the girls on my hall, they're awesome! it's also so fun to see people from last year. there are a lot of people that i saw around campus last year but never talked to that i'm talking to now, so that's cool. i also really like my suite mate Jess, we had an adventure today. we had to go to some office where you pay for parking tickets and turn in crack dealers and such. one lady took a really long time dealing with parking tickets or crack dealers (i don't know which) and the lady behind her started flipping out on her and cursing at her! the lady being flipped out on walked up to Jess and i and was like "what should i do?! what should i say?!!!" Jess just calmly and quietly answered "nothing, just walk away." and so she did. the next few minutes were beyond awkward. we saw the flipee later out in the parking lot and tried to cheer her up and she told us her whole life story. kind of bizarre day i've been havin.

I have come to the conclusion that there are several professors at PBA in a secret association called PASSFF: Professors Against Students Studying For Finals, affectionately called Pass or Fail by its affiliates. How do i know this? Well, there have been many hints along the way, but my greatest single piece of evidence is this bizarre assignment my composition prof assigned to us the week before finals. We had to take three pages of Othello and translate it into a modern dialect. Mine was cockney. Thank goodness for this site:

http://www.nakedtranslations.com/en/2004/02/000068.php

It's great fun.

Desdemona: Then 'opefully 'eaven will 'ave Piccadilly Percy on me.
Othello: I would 'ope so too.

Desdemona: Oh, I'm scared. Wot, is 'e brahn bread?
Othello: If 'e 'ad as many lives as 'e's got 'airs on 'is Crust of Bread, I would've killed them aw in revenge.
Desdemona: Oh, 'e's been betrayed, and I've been ruined.
Othello: Wot, ya Doug McClure, 're ya cryin' for 'im wite in front of me?
Desdemona: Send me away, me lord, but daan't kill me!
Othello: Daahhhn, Doug McClure!
Desdemona: Kill me tomorra, but let me bee 'ive tonight.
Othello: Nah, if ya struggle wif me-
Desdemona: Just Ca and Calf an 'our!
Othello: While I'm doin' this, I can't pause for a moment.
Desdemona: Just let me say wahn Weavers' Chair!
Othello: It's too Cilla Black. (he smothers her)
Emilia: (offstage) Me lord, me lord! Wotcha! Me lord, me lord!
Othello: What's that Box of Toys? In'cha brahn bread yet? I kna I'm cruel, but I'm merciful too. I daan't want ya ter linger in Cynthia.
Emilia: (offstage) Wotcha! Me lord, me lord!
Othello: Who's there?
Emilia: (offstage) Oh me lord, I need ter speak ter ya!
Othello: Yeah, it's Emilia.(to EMILIA)—Just a Cock Linnet!—She's brahn bread na.—Emilia's prolly come ter tell me that Cassio's been killed. The chuffin' Read and Write outside was loud. So! You're not movin' anymore? Nah, you're as Beechams Pill as a grave. Should I let 'er in? Is that a Robin Hood idea? I fin' she's movin' again—na. Wot should I do?

Emilia: Cassio's killed a young Venetian named Rodrigo.
Othello: Roderigo's been killed? and Cassio's killed?
Emilia: Nah, Cassio wasn't killed.
Othello: Cassio's not brahn bread? Then the bleedin' Pete Tong geeza is brahn bread, and sweet revenge 'as gone Pete Tong.

"Although individual atoms and molecules are invisible to the naked eye, one mole of atoms or molecules is easily detected. Because subatomic particles are even smaller than atoms and also invisible, you might never expect to see individual electrons. Let's consider the possibility, however, of seeing a farady of charge. A faraday of charge contains Avogadro's number of electrons. Would this collection of 6.022x10^23 electrons be visible? If so, what would it look like? It would look quite spectacular!

Throughout the 1980's, scientists carefully studied data collected during 5 million lightning flashes along the eastern United States. The data were collected by 36 instruments that were collectively known as the National Lightning Detection Network. The investigating scientists found that the electrical currents in lightning flashes over northern Florida measured about 45,000 amps, about double the 25,000-amp currents in lightning flashes over the New England states. This study showed that the amount of current flowing during lightning flashes was inversely proportional to the latitude of the storm.

One coulomb is the amount of charge that passes a point when a one-ampere current flows for one second. Thus, a current of 96,500 amps flowing for one second contains Avogadro's number of electrons, or one faraday of charge.

Measurements taken in northern Florida show that a typical two-second lightening strike over that section of the country would transfer approximately Avogadro's number of electrons between the clouds and the earth. So, for those living in northern Florida, a spectacular mental view of one mole of electrons can be obtained by visualizing a two-second lightning strike. Keep in mind that the average lightning strike lasts only a fraction of a second, and that we can only have a mental view of a two-second lightning strike by extrapolation of what is seen in nature. Because New England lightning strikes produce only about half the current of lightning strikes over northern Florida, people in New England must try to imagine a four second lightning strike."

Happy Take a Wild Guess Day!

Sat, 15 Apr 2006 15:36:18 GMT

i have this class where i have to make weekly observations and describe them and this is the best one i've ever done. so if it's bad, lie.

The sky was painted pastel shades of blue with pink clouds highlighting the horizon. The clouds were smudged around the edges as though an artist had been at work, blending his colors. The harsh, jagged leaves of a palm tree looked like porcupine quills trying to sink into the flesh of this masterpiece out of jealousy. The black silhouette shifted uneasily from side to side as it examined its rival, but the sky made no retailiation. It was just a kaleidoscope in slow motion, its shocking pink retiring to a mellow red, the pastel blue dimming to a cool, dark blue. The shifty tree had won this time, but its restlessness did not fade because it knew its rival would return at dawn.

Happy Winston Churchill Day!

friday i stayed up until a very unreasonable hour to study for a test for my 8am class. when i got there, the prof said "surprise! i decided to make it a take home!"

teeheehee

everything was made all better when i went to chemistry though. i got an A, without the curve.

yesterday i climbed trees with my friend Kayla. she's great. so are trees.

i'm kinda ticked about this Gospel of Judas. well, not really ticked about the document itself, ticked about how the media has played it up. the headline of the article said that it was a discovery that would counter the entire Christian faith. i read the article and it said experts have already guessed that it was written by some Gnostics in 300AD and have dismissed it as factual evidence. but now, thanks to the media, people can believe whatever they want to.

Happy Thank You School Librarian Day!

and welcome back to my "please don't tell my mom" series...

note to self: starbuck's java chip frapaccino is not a good idea at 11pm. especially the night before a huge chem test.

at least elysa had one too, so we got to spend the night chatting and bonding. the chem test really wasn't as horrible as i thought it would be, but i guess a lot of people had a super hard time with it, so i'm sure there were a bunch of trick questions i didn't catch. guess i'll fill you in when i get the test back. how do you think you did, Kim? speaking of chem, i found out that 3 people dropped the class. at first i didn't think that was too bad, but now i think it is. the way the professor determines our final grade is he adds all the individual test scores for every test we took this semester all together, making one huge number. then he divides that by the number of tests and that's a C. then he adds up each person's test scores and divides that by however many tests we took and compares it to the class average. i really think that taking a dozen test scores of 20 or 30 out of the equation is really going to hurt the curve. holla back if you understood anything i just said. if you didn't, let me know too, because i think an example would make it much easier to understand, but i don't feel like typing now. today was the closest i have come this year to pulling an all-nighter. catch up time!

R.I.P. for a while anyway. What about after that?

You're faithful?
You promised!

People i cared about are
Gone.
A person i cared about is
Gone.

Yes i'm madly in love with You.
More like angrily in love with You.

Did you really die for everyone's sins?
Or just a select few who go through the right motions?

i've never felt like more of a hypocrite.
It's not that the things i say are different from the way i feel.
They are the opposite.

He's gone.
Will my prayers mean anything anymore?

My head resounds "Yes!"
My heart? You know better than i do.

Happy Quirky Country Music Song Titles Day!

i would first like to bring to the attention of my readers that i do not in any way support or condone country music excepting its downfall.

i was going to post a play by play last week of one of my super busy days, but i got too busy. i have to meet Michelle in 20 minutes, so i have to make this a short one, but i wanted to say sorry to everyone back home that i haven't talked to in 80 years or more. i hope to get a few emails out and catch up with some folks this week, but no promises.

in recent news, i applied for a point 58 leader position which is a spiritual leader who lives in the dorms. they lead weekly Bible studies and are just there to support the people on their hall. they're kind of like an RA minus all the not-fun stuff. i'm hoping that me and my roommate-to-be both get it. (they have 2 on every floor, but they don't usually let them be roommates). is my grammar really bad today or is it just me? anyway, i also started tutoring this little dude Gloria introduced me to. he's in 5th grade and is on a 1st grade reading level :\ also, i got a pretty, new fish tank for Stewart. he likes it, i can tell. updating has been great, but i wish i were sleeping.
