Would you rather as a young adult, investigate your family tree and find out there is a lot of insanity in your family that hits people when they reach middle age or find that no one has lived past 65? Insanity..maybe

Sam (the guy who came into class and talked about his research) emailed me back! He linked me to a couple sites..you apply for a grant once you figure out a research topic. I showed Regine (the glaciers professor) the email and said to come up with idea, apply and if I get the grant she'll help me design the project. Awesomeee. The deadline is next month though..I don't know if I can think of something that fast haha. At least I know what to do now..

The glaciers final is Thursday..I asked Regine if I could keep in contact, even just to share an interesting article, and she said of course haha. Yayy..she's really modest too. The earthquakes professor wasn't exactly..he told us of like seminars he went to. So it was a surprise to me when I found Regine's bio on the UAF site and saw she wrote/edited a ton of things, is the vice president of the International Glaciological Society and a bunch of other things. She never mentioned anything about that, just places she traveled to. I told her about that today and she laughed and turned red. Aww. One reason she's awesome..she loves what she does but isn't haughty about it (Ok..I may have a girl crush on her :P)

Becky said she can tell in my face I've lost weight. Aw yay, I'm glad my effort is showing :D

I found a mockingjay necklace at Hot Topic..yay :D

Would you rather after three days without eating, have a sumptuous Thanksgiving meal placed in front of you and win $5,000 by waiting 16 hours to eat it or just dig in? Just dig in

Today's trivia: After five days at zero gravity, the human body loses 30% of its muscle strength

Yesterday we finally went boating on the river since dad brought the boat from Texas! (And that was April haha) The first half of the day was REALLY nice and sunny but by the time we got out there the smoke had moved in. It was really cool seeing the smoke plume from it (it's not threatening anything. I can smell it today too). It was still nice though. We went from this boat ramp by KFC to the Wendell Street Bridge. We had to be careful cause the river is pretty shallow since it hasn't been raining much. We saw lots of wildlife! Two beavers (so cuteee!), a bald eagle (!), a couple cats, etc. The eagle looked so cool. :D I have pics too

I've lost 4 pounds since starting Weight Watchers :D

So..mom and I joined Weight Watchers yesterday. I weigh too much and keep gaining and I feel gross so I had to do something. You can basically eat what you want but you shouldn't go over your points for the day (I think mine is 26). We went to our first meeting yesterday and then went to the store and got healthy stuff for me. Fruit and most veggies are ZERO points so I got a bunch of those. I've already snacked on a bunch of grapes..yumm. I've never really dieted before so I hope this works haha

I did this cool voice meme found on Tina's LJ..I hope the cars driving through the rain don't drown me out..if they do I'll close the windows and do it again haha (I accidentally skipped the phobia question..oops :P)
