Bad Days....

Have you ever had one of those weeks where something/everything goes wrong and it just sets the tone for the rest of that week?  I'm having one of those weeks right now.

Generally when this happens, I like to be by myself to just be by myself.  I'm not one of those ppl who feels like they have to around ppl all the time.  For some ppl, being by yourself is some sort of new concept and it's truly extraordinary to watch them make sense of this idea.

I think the most important thing to remember when you're having a bad day/week is that it's just a day/week out of your life.  In the whole scheme of things, will it matter in the future that this has happened?  Life is so short, that it's better to move on and let it go.  For some (like me) it's harder to let go of things that you feel is unfair or shouldn't have happened, but this is life, and life brings good and bad situations.

Chin up, drown yourself in music, and keep on living life.    

Would you want YOUR genome sequenced?

I was sitting in my Microbiology class today pondering about whether I would want my entire genome sequenced.  This class is about Bioinformatics and how the power of computers have helped with the study of biology.  After the mandatory introductions my prof started talking about the Human Genome Project and how computers played a major role in that.  The question came up:  Would you want your genome sequenced?

Etsy Adventures...

I have decided that I wanted to try to post something about once a week from now on.  It has been a while since I have blogged and well....it's time to get back at it.  This weeks (and a few more in the future) topic is about my Etsy Store.  Yes I have decided to start an Etsy Store in the hopes of selling my Pottery. 

Olympic Volunteer Day 5/6

**NOTE: I was too tired to write anything yesterday and I was watching the Men Figure Skating as well

February 16, 2010

Yesterday started off bright and early at 7am.  It was bound to be a busy day as all of the male figure skaters were coming in for their last practice before their short program that night. 

Olympic Volunteer Day 4

Day 4 started at 7am on this grey and dreary day, but things looked up as the female skaters took to the ice.  No, Yuna Kim didn’t come nor did the Japanese, BUT Canada’s own Joannie Rochette came to practice.  She was pretty fantastic, landing most of her jumps and skating amazingly.

Final Torch Bearer is....

n't going to be Wayne Gretzky...

Perhaps it'll be Betty Fox and a digitalized version of Terry Fox?

Anyways....with just 9 hours or so left to go before the Opening Ceremonies.....I just want to say that I can't wait for Olympics to start and...GO CANADA GO!!!

Olympic Volunteer Day 3

A pretty quiet day compared to my other 2 days.  Walked into a media frenzy for the 2 Japan male skaters, but that died down pretty quickly.  I actually had time to do a little bit of hw.  A bit of media action for the male Korean skater, but other than that it was a fun night of watching skaters do their thing.

Hw awaits!
