1. Katrina Survival Story Ends in Grisly Killing, Suicide

okay, seriously. what is up w/ this. not only did they survive katrina... but all b/c she caught him cheating and they argued about it, the guy wants to strangle her and then CHOP HER UP? talk about a double whammy. or let's talk about anger management. i guess spending $1500 is great, huh. what can you spend it on anyway. drinks? a suit? penthouse suite? for this guy, he spent it on food, drugs, strippers, and friends. i guess "tying up loose ends" is a good thing. don't wanna die w/ no regrets. i wonder what suicide really does to a person. would it release them? since they're choosing their own time of death. it puts like the deadline on their life. "by this time i need to get this and that done. i should probably talk to this person and make amends. who freakin' cares about grades. they never mattered anyway. let's drop out of college by then, too. ride a rollercoaster and scream my head off, too. yea, never got a chance to do that."........making a list of things-to-do before that deadline. i wonder if it really will set you free. but what about all those things that could've happened, but you'd never know b/c you ended your life early. what about the person you really will fall in love with. the people's lives that you may have touched & changed, that special kiss you receive under the mistletoe, the joy when you feel to hold your child in your arms, etc etc. what about those things? i wouldn't wanna end my life just so i can get good food, friends, chippendales, whatever.

2. Police 'confident' slain neighbor didn't molest tot

i love how they're so "confident". even if you were to molest someone... why a 2-yr old? how well can this girl even talk. "he comes to me in starry nights." honestly, what 2yr old talks like that. i don't think i ever said anything until i was like 4. but that's just b/c i'm weird and my parents were afraid that i was a mute. this is all i gotta say about this article. i just don't understand why you would molest anyone either. it's not even pleasurable. unless you get pleasure from torture. sick minds.

3. Q: Do you swear to tell the truth? A: No

This article isn't disturbing in the sense that someone is dismembered or possibly molested, but it's disturbing b/c a poor is being taken advantage of to assist in murder. if this were a movie, it would have a happy ending and everything would be cool. but it's not. so crap happens. she looks so sad. and i think the article mentions her crying about 4 gaJILLION times. her "boyfriend" doesn't even help her out and to make the story even better--he was also "mistakenly released"..from prison ?!?!?! that's just insane. they better fix up the police department. and not only was i thinking about the girl as i was reading this, but i was thinking about just the question, "don't you wanna tell the truth?" i've never had to testify. i've never had to hold someone's life in my hand. but when the time comes, i dunno what i'd say. of course i'd say yes b/c if i didn't i'd probably be in big trouble. but when i am speaking, will i really? will i hesitate to say anything b/c someone may go to prison and it's someone that i love.. will i have been brainwashed to say something and make up a scenario that didn't really happen? am i thinking too much? =) i think so. but when that time comes, and i do need to testify.. it'll be b/c i'm a csi and i have hard proof that this man/woman did it. ^ ^ and i will always tell the truth.

that's all for today. whew.
i have my schedule finalized for next semester. i have the best schedule in the world. seriously. no joke. ch-ch-check it out.



i'm gonna make buttloads of $$ giving tours @ on thurs, getting experience from undergraduate research (which i have yet to put on the schedule..). undergrad research will probably be somewhere around oh.. i dunno. all of thurs whenever i'm not giving tours. haha. and in between chem & math on fridays. here's my thoughts on each class. b/c they're super cool.

chem336 - honors physical chemistry (just a continuation of chem335)
usna210 - FORENSIC SCIENCE !!!!!!!!!!!! YEAYUHHHHHHHHHHHHH. i'm gonna ace this class and i will be the best. no doubt.
math224 - differential equations - AKA : calc 4 & boring. but supposedly the prof. is really easy, so easy A here i come ! =D
chem322 - lab methods in organic chemistry. i only have one semester of this. whew. but i'm excited. i kinda like organic chemistry. guess i gotta review !
arth374 - impressionism to symbolism. okay, after forensic science, this will be my favorite class. i'm really thinking about an art history minor. too bad this is my first art history class i will be taking. haha. but i will take art history 101, 102, etc etc. i really wanna learn more about art. dunno why. just have a very strong interest. this is not only my fav. time period... but i dunno a lot about it. ironic, huh? but after this, i will become an expert. and i will give the tours @ the art museums. ^ ^

no gym for this semester. i'll take it easy =] total credit hours... 17 at the most.
and yea, like i said, chem397 (undergraduate research) will be inserted in there .. somewhere.

looks like i might stay in cleveland over the summer. i need to apply for this summer program (SPUR), get professor recommendations and whatnot. buuut if i'm in, i get a stipend of $3,000 and housing allowance. hopefully things will work out. ^ ^ i wanna be awesome in the lab.

i'm sssoooo excited. i just wish my excitement reflected the grades.. =(

but let's not end on that sour note.
i'm still in lab. isn't it amazing that i typed this post up during lab ! oh the things that i do in chemlab. ^ ^
i had some godiva today, too. joyce's bday was awesome. i'm gonna hafta wait till i get back to my room to post the pics up w/ my awesome captions underneath. so get on the edge of your seats, grab the handlebars, and anxiously await my return b/c the post will come soon enough.


seeya.
