My Wonderful Cat and Boyfriend

On Friday I decided to start a puzzle that was in the game closet for a while, I started this puzzle on Friday at 10 o'clock at night (big mistake) I lost track of time and ended up going to bed at 1:30. On Saturday I had to work and then attended Cathy's Birthday Party (Aaron's sister-in-law) so needless to say not a lot of the puzzle got done on Saturday. Then on Sunday we all went to breakfast and then back to Morro Bay to pick up the car (I'll explain in a minute) so that burned up most of my day, then I finally got an opportunity to work on it and my sweet little cat thought it would be a really cute to lay right in the middle of the puzzle so that I could not work on it, such a cat thing to do. I finally convinced her to lay in the puzzle box instead, which I thought was quite cute and took this picture with my phone (Sorry the resolution is really low).I almost finished it all but the middle of the puzzle is a black cat so my progress slowed and I eventually deiced to return with fresh eyes the next day.

Monday I had school until 6:00 and took the bus home so it was 8:00 before I could actually return to my almost finished puzzle, Aaron and me then decided to make dinner. Aaron made the soup and I made the garlic bread, but while I was working on my half of dinner Aaron thought that he might take a go at the puzzle with only 7 pieces left (what a great helper! were was he during the last 993 pieces). I know that the picture quality sucks but I don't have a camera so 600 pixels is the best I've got. The Finished puzzle is this adorable black cat sitting on the book shelf thinking "what can I break next?"

I was going to talk about my weekend but I have AutoCAD Homework and Drafting Homework to do which are both very time consuming.

But one last thing, in Organic Chemistry today we made the smell of rum, banana, raspberry, nail polish remover, and I forgot the last one. But I also learned about a Brominated vegetable oil (BVO) which can be found in drinks like mountain dew. THIS STUFF IS REALLY, REALLY BAD!!!!
I cant believe the FDA allows people to still use it. It rots your fat inside your body and will never leave your body (it also causes other really bad things to happen). If you want to see what other things are listed as toxic or bad for you check out this website http://www.healthyeatingadvisor.com/food-labels.html
its not the most credible sight but our professor said that the chemicals and additives listed were factual but the health effects where a little bit off.
if you link to this address it may show an error, just go the the homepage and click on Food labels on the left side of the screen and scroll down to Worst food Additives.
Have Fun!!!!

My first rant

I'm almost done with school and I'm facing the job market during a war (come on people it's still a war), over publication of global extremist, social and governmental failure, childish politics, corruption of environmental policies and laws as a result of corporations and bureaucracy, the over harvesting of our oceans resources and for that matter all resources, the rapid depletion of our sole source of energy, the changing global climate (who cares who did it it's happening), the dollar being at its lowest value since I've been in college, and the return of retired adults to the same job marked I’m trying to enter, but I have a felling that my situation is no different then any other national melt down that generations before me have faced; to me the only difference is that those older generations are looking to mine to solve these problems, which will be problematic since my generation has now been given the title generation “I” instead of its old title generation “Y” because we are self involved with our ipods and myspace, I have this feeling that generation “I” will be a big let down when it comes to actually doing something and solving problems.

Really I have no need to worry about getting a job even after factoring in all of the above because with a major in Natural Resource Management and Environmental Protection, there will be no shortage of work for me.
