Chemistry

Chemistry is not fun
Chemistry is a “burn”
It is supposed, second nature
What is there to learn?

I don’t care about moles
I don’t care that atoms are a mergin’
I don’t care about theories
I especially hate conversions.

Please define Kelvin
How many in a joule?
How about all those chemists?
#wowyoureafool

Yes, I incorporated Twitter
in this lovely chemists’ poem
Yes, this is quite clever
Now you should go ‘home’.

We’re back to Chemistry
and all of its mess
I do like my professor
That I will confess

Nine in the morning
to whenever lab ends
Monday through Friday
Gotta wear those Depends.

Here’s a chart for this
and another for that
some of them are skinny
whilst others are fat.

So much information
In just a five week course.
Dr. Hu says that Google
Is quite a good source.

With three weeks to go
I’m ready to complete
this PERIODICally crazy class
Wouldn’t that be a feat.

FYI.. this was written when I was in week 2 of my sinus infection…

Screw you
You stupid RAD.
I hate
You oh, so bad.
You make
Me wanna cry.
Please hang
Your head and die.
You might
try a noose.
Unless it
Gets too loose.
Then, well,
What’s the use.
Jump off
A train’s caboose.
At first,
Yeah, you were cool.
Til’ I had
To quit my school.
And leave
The ones I love.
I feel
-Well read above.

I recently got word that in my most recent MRI, there appears to be a continuation of tumor size-reduction!! Woo Hoo!!

I don’t know #’s yet, but hey.. I’m good with any amount of shrink-age!

Hope everyone is having a GLORIOUS day!

“After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security, and you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises, and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child, and you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure… that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.” ~Veronica A. Shoffstall

HELLO everyone?!

I hope you all are doing gloriously! I am in my first semester at Akron.. classes started today. So far-so good. I’m exceptionally excited for my MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY class from 5:15-8pm. haha yes, I am a nerd. I am aware that it is not normal to find words interesting. Nor is it normal to enjoy finding root words and their meanings…(possibly why I enjoyed Latin so much!) like … a tumor I have is called an angiomyolipoma… If you break the word down, you can figure out what it is made out of.. ANGIO- this means blood. MYO is a root word for muscle. LIP.. fat.. LIPIDS, anyone?? ahhh.. it’s making a little more sense, isn’t it?

Life has been very interesting the past month.. I withdrew from Taylor- probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. It was better for me to go home and take classes there. This would make managing my health SOO much easier! AND! I could finally do what I’ve always wanted.. Child life. So, that’s exciting! Plus, honestly, I kinda was ready for a new adventure. Though, many times I long for monotony!!

I miss Taylor University like NOBODY’S BUSSINESS!!! The people there will FOREVER be ingrained in me and they do make up part of who I am! So, to my Taylor people.. I LOVE YOU!!!!

Enough for now! More later!!

Love to all!
