ALMOND JUICE

This week I've been going to school. The first time since last May. Let's just say nothing has changed: it's still hard to stay awake.

Human physiology- AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL Professor. Direct quotes from her: "I'm not quite sure why I'm teaching it in this order. But we'll see if it works." um...hello! Isn't it your job to make sure it works and that it makes sense so we can learn it?
At one point she looks at a slide she has up and says, "why did I put this up? Oh, because I thought it was pretty. See blue and gold. Blue and Gold Pitt. Go Pitt!"
I did learn all about the ouabain plant that blocks the NA+/K+atpase channels that makes the cell lose equilibrium. But Kate was the one who explained that not the professor.

History of Chinese Landscape Painting-I had to doodle to stay awake. but the gay guy sitting next to TT is going to be my new best friend.

English Origins of American Law-I hadn't read any of the material, I haven't taken any European History at all. and yet I learned everything I could ever want to know about William the Conqueror and the Doomsday Book. This professor knew her stuff, made it interesting, and had me understanding and wanting to know more.

On other news I've been walking everywhere around here. Walking on hills uses a totally different set of muscles then rowing does. I feel old, creaking with every step.
Yesterday in my wanderings I found a wheat-free, dairy-free bakery that had the best turnovers I've ever tasted. They use almond milk to replace dairy. How do you get almond milk? Put almonds in a juicer?
