My career status...no big surprise. :)

I found this little quiz on another blog. I have taken career counseling, and the results are no different from the class. I continue to be amused on how studies suggest that my current career is such a poor choice for me.

You scored as Biology. You should be a Biology major! You are passionate about the sciences, and you enjoy studying cell growth and evolutionary concepts which enable living organisms to survive. Pursue that!

WWWD?

On Monday night, one of my co-workers and I made an overnight trip to San Francisco for a Willie Nelson concert. I love his music and the causes he supports: Farmaid, Biowillie and the like. I also have to go back to my roots now and again since I'm not able to travel back to my homeland of Tejas. It was good to see that so many people respect his music...even in California where they tend to think Texans are all like W. People out here tell me that I am not the typical Texan, and when I ask if they have ever visited, they say "no, and I don't want to." Hm....our so-called "liberal", "educated" population has a twisted double standard. A blind spot. Something that I am quite used to since I have lived in the "blue parenthesis."

My point being, it made me proud to stand next to the stage and see a good 'ol boy rock the Fillmore West. I could, for once since I've been out here, say I'm from Texas and people can address me with a sense of awe...I'm from Willie country...not Bush country.

Here's to a great '06

Yes, being busy has kept me from posting, but I must say that I have been a little sluggish since my bout with the flu during the holidays. Bummer, I know. I was with my family, who I rarely see, they were drinking good booze while I would look longingly at a glass of Messina Hoff, and would only be able to stomach half a glass. Ickiness aside, I had a great time catching up with old friends and family.

I have started taking classes again this week: General Biology, which I haven't taken since I was a Freshman in high school; Elementary Statistics: I am having to re-teach myself how to use the TI-83 calculator; and I am trying to fit Human Anatomy and Physiology somewhere in there.

In my HA & P class, our prof. introduced a website that is new to me, but has been around for quite sometime. If you have never heard of it, you should definitely check it out...if you have known about it for years, then, well...I guess it's a little less cool. I never really cared to know how a sewing machine ACTUALLY worked--I just wanted to know that it wouldn't create bobbin vomit all over my chiffon project. I typed it in and I was intrigued. Never would I have ever compared the convenience of the sewing machine to that of the introduction of the car.
