Good Things Are Attracted To A Good Heart- Natalie Zahajko

Monday was a holiday so I was able to actually have a day off of school and work :)

I woke up and got a lot done. I cleaned my room, bathroom and my car! After I got all of that done I went to see Precious with Danielle. It was SUCH a good movie that really touches peoples hearts. I think every person should see this movie and the world would become a more loving and gentle place. Precious really impressed me with her determination to love despite having nothing and being hurt. Don't go to the movie for a feel good feeling; I left the movie with a heavy heart.

After the movie we went to Forever, and I actually found a cute top and tank tops. Then we went to Ulta which is the most amazing beauty store EVER. It seriously has everything (except Mac) in one huge store. I got 2 biolage conditioners on accident, darn now I have to go back ;) I also purchased lovely blush by bare minerals. It is THE BEST blush EVER! I also found a perfect purple nail polish, its a new line from OPI and is called Pamplona Purple. I stocked up on my hair supplies like hair spray and straightener guard. I LOVEEEEEEE Ulta. I am so thankful I am back in WA where there is an Ulta. <3

Tuesday I had a paper due in Micro. Hopefully I wrote it how I am supposed to, writting for science is way different than I am used to. I also had a quiz which was a real tricky one. It was a quiz about each stain. (granted there are 6 different ones and each one has different 10+ step procedures) I'm pretty sure I got some of the stains mixed up, OH WELL!

After class I realized I had to work at 4:30 :( I didn't want to go to work because I knew I needed to get my Stats hw done. I also dont get out of class until 2:45 so I have to RACE home and change. Work was actually busy so it made my venture into Red Robin worth it. :) I got out sort of early too so I was able to take Derek his bday present (UW jersey) and finish my hw and study a little for Micro.

I feel like I'm always running from one place to the next. Life is just SO busy. I am so glad I feel better, it makes my busy schedule not as bad. :)

Watching the news keeps talking about Haiti and their huge earthquake that destroyed their capital. SO SAD! Its so sad because Haiti has always been a poor country, but an earthquake killed over 70,000 and demolished buildings. Now the poor country has even less which is absolutely nothing. In micro we were talking about typhus which is a lice disease that killed Anne Frank. It is a lice found in poor countries (ie-Haiti) and has a mortality rate of 60%!!! My professor Mauldin was saying that if (which is more than 90% likely) Typhus is in Haiti, the lack of water to bathe and dead bodies is going to spread the disease SO fast. She is worried that of the survivors more than 70% will get Typhus and even more will die. It is just a horrible sad situation for the people of Haiti. Its hard because I am torn between helping and letting people suffer in order to lift themselves up. These people do not have the resources to rise up and make a better life. It is just heart breaking. Hopefully aid will be there to prevent further destruction.

**In the news! Massachusetts elected a new Senator who is Republican (and against Obama's Health care) THANK GOODNESS! His health care plan is the WORST idea our country has heard. We are in a huge economic crisis and have so many other bigger urgent problems. NOT TO MENTION that everyone who has this health care system (who we are trying to emulate) HATES it and comes to America for quality practice of medicine. I for one do not want to go to school for SO long to not be expected to be practicing at the highest quality. Doctors and Nurses wages would decrease, causing a bigger deficit of Nurses in our country. When you open the flood gates and drop cost the quality decreases as well. GREAT idea Obama. THANK YOU MASSACHUSETTS!!
