Maybe not fun in the "whee, I can't wait to do this again!" way, but in the productive, checking things off a list way. I made appointments for mole mapping and a consultation for getting my wisdom teeth extracted. I'm packing three doctor's appointments into one day in April, so hopefully everything goes off without a hitch. All the visits are for standard/diagnostic things and not actual procedures, so with any luck the whole experience won't hand me my ass. Even if it does though, at least I'll have it all over with in one day instead of dragging it out.
It's difficult as hell to find a first responder class around here. I thought for sure there would be one at the technical college, but no go. A coworker is looking into it for me though. It's good to have friends who used to be in the military, they seem to know everything, or know someone who does. Not much luck on the fork lift operator certification course either. But one thing at a time. Or three. Heh.
The Theme of the Day group's theme today is mortality. I have some experience with this topic, although not with my own mortality. I've lost a fair share of family members, and it never gets any easier. I'm not sure I could even handle going to another funeral in my lifetime. Obviously I'm not going to be fortunate enough to avoid it though, so I guess it's on me to just suck it up and do it when the time comes.
I'm not so sure about my own mortality. I'm 25 and I've never been in the hospital for anything, so I haven't had much occasion to consider my own death. Even if I do, what would I consider? I'm going to die one day. That's pretty much all I know for sure about it.
Eight glasses of water is a lot of water.
#43 is done! I went through my Flickr photostream and cleaned out the junk. I'm not sure it's ready for a gallery show or anything, but I'm learning to let go of bad photographs so that the good ones show more often.
I wrote a letter to my friend Nora today. I'm becoming quite the pen pal!
101 things is a lot of stuff, y'all. So I started a 43 Things account to track my progress. It lets a user add only 43 things at a time, so as I mark them done I can grab something else off of The List and add it on there.
Biology is so not my thing. I can talk about chemistry all day, and if I didn't have bills to pay I would definitely be going to college for a degree in Chemistry. But the macroprocesses of life couldn't interest me less. I'm glad they work, don't get me wrong- without them, we'd all be in trouble- but I trust them to work without my understanding. Next class term is math and accounting, so I guess I should probably enjoy the Biology class while I'm in it.
