digging, boots, and my grade 8 science teacher?



I just woke up because I had the weirdest dream ever.

I was at the park at my house and there was this guy giving away free RUBBER boots. Thing is, everyone was allowed only one pair (and no one broke this rule). And these boots were really nice! But they were stored underground and you had to dig for them.

Luckily, he had a "boot detector" which could detect your size as well as colour. But people kept digging so slow and by the time it was my turn, he had to go home. I really wanted a pair (since all my shoes get my feet wet when it rains) so I decided to dig just anywhere.

I dug enough so that I hit a tunnel where all the shoes were semi-buried in the walls and in the floor of the tunnel - sort of like the catacombs. Some of the shoes were cracked, which i threw to the side. A lot of them were purple and pink - I discarded these.

I pulled out shoe after shoe looking for a size 7 and a half or at least a 7 or an 8 and could find nothing! And on top of that, I was specifically looking for yellow boots - I discarded green because Dolly had green boots. How stubborn I am.

Unbeknown to me, the hole had grown to let in more light as I searched. But then I heard voices. My grade 8 science teacher, now a hobo, was drinking hot chocolate with her other hobo buddy and talking about running away to hawaii.

I hid because i probably shouldn't have been looking for boots on my own, but she found me and asked me how I was doing. I told her the usual - where i go to school, what i'm studying, my future goals. I should have paid more attention to the dream, because I don't remember what my goals were.

End of dream.

with great power...

... comes great responsibility.

At today's orthopedic resident's day one of the residents said that it's dangerous to extrapolate data because it's hard to say that your research will apply in the real world.

Darwin wrote the Theory of Natural Selection and then extrapolated his data to postulate the theory of evolution.

Today, evolutionists have changed their theory saying that we did not evolve from monkeys, but monkeys have evolved from us.

Strange, no?

This week, I...

realized that being a research ASSISTANT sucks. I want to RESEARCH.

finished 3 books. Secret Life of Bees is a good one.

realized I haven't been reading my Bible.

enjoyed studying at the Mac library for my MCATs and realized I don't suck at physics as much as I thought I did.

gave up on doing my tax returns by myself.

made another goal - be more productive each week that I live!

Before I leave, can I just say... HURRAH for cold weather! Finally the weather is not so humid and I can walk around with the cool breeze that tickles my bones!

It snowed in Waterloo - crazy weather.

it's 1AM in the morning

What am i doing up? ('tis a genuine question to myself)

Many things are on my mind:
1. why are income tax forms so difficult to fill out?!?!
2. don't forget to call ivcf busses to figure out cost to go to urbana. don't forget. don't forget
3. my landlord gave me rent receipts for only 4 months SIGH
4. so much to see at nuit blanche, not enough time - any suggestions?
5. *sniff* my bank account
6. i know not worrying about the future is good but is this going to the point of apathy? pure laziness?
7. mcats mcats mcats

and much more

I need to take a minute or two tomorrow to organize my brain. For now, i will try to sleep.

Good night world!
