It's time to get back to school.  This area has been quiet for too long!  College students have returned to get stuff congested again.  Wal-marts are crowded at all hours of the day, the weekend rush is even more rushed and jam packed.  New student drivers nearly miss other drivers just about 10 times a day, lets not forget about all the students who love walking out in front of cars or stoping their walk in the middle of the road to find their next location.

While I was spacing out today at lunch I had a thought.  What would life be like if there was no time or deference between night and day?  Now being a college student I know that that would make stuff like classes difficult to attend.  But what about just being out in the world.  I think it would be cool to eat when I was hungrey rather than making myself wait until 12 or 6 for specific meals.  I could sleep when I was tired and do what ever I felt like doing when I wasn't and in any poticular order because, hey, there is no time.  I think it would just be cool to experiance.  Maybe one day I will go to one of the areas that they exeriance 24 hour daylight for a period of time and see what it would be like.  Yes, many of those places are cold.  But i think the experiance would simply be awsome.  I'm sure that there are some flaws in my idea, but it is a fun thought.  At least I think so.

mom sent me this nice little piece. makes you think about where you put your purse threw out the day.

 

PURSES I never gave it a thought. Who'd a thunk? Have you ever noticed gals who sit their purses on public restroom floors that go directly to their dining tables? Happens a lot! It's not always the restaurant food' that causes stomach distress. Sometimes "what you don't know 'will' hurt you"! Read on...Mom got so upset when a guest came in the door and plopped their purses down on the counter where she was cooking or setting up the buffet. She always said that purses are really dirty, because of Where they have been. Smart Mamma!!! It's something just about every woman carries with them. While we may know what's inside our purses, do you have any idea what's on the outside? Shauna Lake put purses to the test - for bacteria - with surprising results. You may think twice about where you put your purse. Women carry purses everywhere; from the office to public restrooms to the floor of the car. Most women won't be caught without their purses, but did you ever stop to think about where your purse goes during the day? "I drive a school bus, so my purse has been on the floor of the bus a lot, " says one woman. "On the floor of my car, probably in restrooms." "I put my purse in grocery shopping carts, on the floor of bathroom stalls while changing a diaper," says another woman and of course in my home which should be clean." We decided to find out if purses harbor a lot of bacteria. We learned how to test them at Nelson Laboratories in Salt Lake , then we set out to test the average woman's purse. Most women told us they didn't stop to think about what was on the bottom of their purse. Most said they usually set their purses on top of kitchen tables and counters where food is prepared. Most of the ladies we talked to told us they wouldn't be surprised if their purses were at least a little bit dirty. It turns out purses are so surprisingly dirty, even the microbiologist who tested them was shocked. Microbiologist Amy Karen of Nelson Labs says nearly all of the purses tested were not only high in bacteria, but high in harmful kinds of bacteria. Pseudonyms can cause eye infections, staphylococcus aurous can cause serious skin infections, and salmonella and e-coli found on the purses could make people very sick. In one sampling, four of five purses tested positive for salmonella, and that's not the worst of it. "There is fecal contamination on the purses," says Amy. Leather or vinyl purses tended to be cleaner than cloth purses, and lifestyle seemed to play a role. People with kids tended to have dirtier purses than those without, with one exception. The purse of one single woman who frequented nightclubs had one of the worst contamination's of all. "Some type of feces, or even possibly vomit or something like that," says Amy. So the moral of this story - your purse won't kill you, but it does have the potential to make you very sick if you keep it on places where you eat. Use hooks to hang your purse at home and in restrooms, and don't put it on your desk, a restaurant table, or on your kitchen countertop. Experts say you should think of your purse the same way you would a pair of shoes. "If you think about putting a pair of shoes onto your countertops, that's the same thing you're doing when you put your purse on the countertops" - your purse has gone where every individual before you has spat, coughed, urinated, emptied bowels, etc! Do you really want to bring that home with you? The microbiologists at Nelson also said cleaning a purse will help. Wash cloth purses and use leather cleaner to clean the bottom of leather purses. THIS IS WORTH SHARING!!!

it frustrates me on how restricted my university is.  we have a 3hr. fine arts requirement, but this require ment only covers a few classes.  You would think that I could just take a drawing class and be done with part of it right.  Nope, those are for art majors only.  I think that is a load of bull.  Why can't I have a drawing class to count for part of my art credits?  I'm a good drawer and I enjoy doing it.  Art major's aren't the only ones who can draw, and the people who just paint a board red and puts 3 silver lines on it is not considered and artist ( not in my opinion anyways)  I just want a reason to draw, is that to much to ask for?
