Got my blood results back.

My LDL is high and overall cholesterol is 223 😱 HDL and triglycerides are well within normal though and apparently I have a normal cholesterol "ratio".

TSH was high as well🙁

barely passed the phys test but passed it on my own w/out the help of the class. since he let everyone work together after I left, I get to redo it and turn it in for more credit. plus the bonus snt graded yet, so it'll turn out to be fine (and probably an a). phew. dunno that that qualifies as "well" in his bk flfor him to go ahead n send my lor... I'm not going to ask for a cpl wks. surely he'll ok it by finals tho.

think I'm going to take a faculty appraisal form to my favorite undergrad behavioral science prof. the school I'm sweatin doesn't req all three to be prereq teachers n that might be beneficial... then if my phys dude sends it, ok.. if not, water under the bridge.

Wow. So we've had a lot of people who want to join the women's soccer teams around here, but the teams are full, so a decision was made to create a new team for the tier. So Thursday I get a mass e-mail saying they need a captain. I e-mail back saying I'm interested, but would like to know a few things. One of the questions I asked was about the time commitment, given that I might be going to med next August, and I don't wanna leave the team halfway through the season.

A day passes, no response. Instead, I get another mass e-mail saying "Hey all! Our captains for next year will be Tracy and Lacy!" or whatever. I was like, wow, how subtle. Not even a personal "thanks for your offer, but I've filled the positions" e-mail!?

And look who gets the last laugh today. I go into my e-mail only to find a message saying "Tracy is not available anymore, do you still want to be a captain?" (again, without addressing any of my questions quoted in the original message right below)


I'm not even gonna bother replying...🙄 If she's gonna be this rude to people who are volunteering to take an UNPAID position, she shouldn't expect them to rescue her when she picks some unreliable idiots because they are her drinking buddies.🙄

Best way to get over a bad grade? Makek it a better one, then follow it up by pwning another test or two. Bio=100. Micro shall be returned in the morning. Heck yes. I'm going to be just fine. I'm so freaking paranoid/premed.

Thanks 🙂
Tomorrow morning I'll (hopefully) track down that extra prof I'm going to get to write an LOR, and that'll be off my chest too. 👍 I can quit aggravating my physics prof... and worrying about every b I make in there (when I know full well I'm going to get an A in the class)

stomach still bothering me. settled for some acidreducing food/drink tonight, thinking maybe I've got a tiny ulcer. wouldn't be surprised, both parents have them, I love spicy food and carbonated beverages, and its more of a burning pain than a nauseous tonight. either way, hopefully ill settle down soon. I'd like some sleep before tues.

Guess I was pretty tired too, considering I overslept. Got to my 8 oclock at 8:25, pretty good considering I woke up at 8:06 and live 20 mins away from school.. :laugh:

In other news, I made the only A in the class on our micro test. :hardy::hardy:

Oh man, so I got another e-mail from the soccer team person begging me to respond so she can make a decision....Nice! She can't even bother to send me a personal e-mail telling me I'm not interested before she sends out a mass e-mail announcing other people as captains, and now that one of the idiots she picked backs out 2 days later, she's all over me..."Please reply ASAP, I really need to know!" (again, without addressing any of my original questions)

I'm definitely not interested anymore, but I'm still debating whether I should be nice and reply, and maybe explain WHY I'm not interested....:laugh:

Maryland hold!

Hopefully they won't reject me before my fall grades are available, so I can send an update.

From my anatomy textbook:
"Skin weighs about 4.5-5 kg (10-11 lb), about 16% of total body weight in adults."

Maybe I'm missing something, but if 5 kg is 16%, then the total body weight is supposed to be 31.25 kg, or 69 lbs...I don't know where they found adults who weigh short of 70 pounds.🙄 :laugh:

The day I don't have to be up til ten, I'm awake and happy at 8:30. Sigh. I suppose I'll get that physics test back today, hopefully (it has to be) better than the first go 'round.

Also headed up to hopefully get that last LOR today (so I can quit bothering the physics prof) and then check on my spit collection in micro.. we did a bacteria-causing-cavities test yesterday and incubated it. Hopefully my results are still negative at 24 hrs. LOL.

👍

Ahhh...Fall must be near. That's my most favorite time of year. 😍

There's something very beautiful to me about crisp Autumn air coupled with a multitude of brightly-colored leaves falling to the ground... Then there's the smell of freshly baked pumpkin pie...
