    oh, alma mater...

    Imagine you apply to a college.... you get a welcome email from that college... and then TWO HOURS later get another email saying "Ooops, sorry, our mistake... we actually DIDN'T accept you". Well, if you haven't seen it in the news, apparently that's what my awesome alma mater just did. Earlier this month, they sent out the regular acceptance letters, but then yesterday they accidentally sent out a 'welcome to the college' email to ALL of the students that applied, leaving about 29,000 people with a very VERY false hope. I still love that school... would recommend it to anyone and everyone, but man was that a major mix-up!

    funny fact of the day

    Did you know that Nobel Prize nominations and all information concerning them are kept private for 50 years?! So really, you could tell someone that you were nominated and they couldn’t prove otherwise! By the time the 50 years are up, they probably would have forgotten… or you would be dead anyway! I learned that in the book I just finished… it’s a hilarious book if you ever want to learn more than you ever wanted to know about the science of sex (it's a real TMI sort of book... but it sure is crazy to read about some of the studies people do out there!). It was recommended by my anatomy teacher who was reading it while I was taking her class last year. A quote from the book: “Your genes want you to get pregnant, and hormones are their magic wand” lol. This woman (Mary Roach) has also written “Stiff: The Curious Life of Human Cadavers” and “Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife” which also sound very intriguing... lol

    Also, I just found this quote on a slip of paper while cleaning off my desk: “I have black lung in my skin… and it’s, like, coming out!” -Heather LOL… that’s what we get for living in the coal country.

    PS. CONGRATS to Ash and Logan who got engaged!!!!  I love you guys!!!!

    ans/cns

    I have never in my life been quite so excited to see a grade as I was just now. This class has been insane to say the very LEAST, with a TON of stuff going on outside of school as well. Anyway, somehow I pulled it off... =) Suddenly all the sleepless nights and stress of so many things became worth it just after seeing that one little letter posted on the class website.

    Thank you for those of you that have kept me going through this tough time, seriously. It has been a very tough time the last few weeks because of so many things, but everything is alright. It really is.

    xoxo, Ky
