Nom Nom Nom

Three facts:

1. My grandmother who has Alzheimer's is coming into town.
2. I like to read health "news" from BBC online. I put news in quotation marks because the BBC is very good about representing all kinds of science reporting: the excellent to the downright awful.
3. I love curry.

All of these things have come together to bring me to this article about potential benefits of eating lots and lots of curry! Alzheimer's is a terrible disease; how fabulous would if something so yummy could help protect you from something so horrible?

One of the more quirky things about the Australian grocery stores.

I love that we are doing poetry now... Dr. B is going to be in for a surprise when he reads my next poem analysis!

A Victory for the Minatory Swimmer

Today I accomplished a feat that none has dared before!

I went and entire day at school BAREFOOTED... and got away with it! None of the authorities said a word to me about it... not one! It was beautiful.

Unfortunately it was cold and rainy today, so my poor feet were a bit chilled by the end of it, but it was worth it.

I really want a pair to red Chucks... sigh...

A Victory for the Penguin!

There is a lovely article in today's N&O. I particularly like Dr. Munger's statement on the last page, speaking to those who might feel a vote for Munger is a "throw away" vote. Article Here.

Mwahahaha!

So, I'm pretty much on a blogging roll here.

I just got an email from a coach wanting to know when would be a good time to call and talk to me.

So, like a good college student hopeful I went to the beacon of knowledge known as Wikipedia to learn more.

Found out the basics... nothing too appealing, Roman Catholic Affiliated, 4,000-ish undergraduates (a few more than I would like), dark blue and gold colours.

But then I saw this.

A college with a master plan? I don't even care what it is, the fact that they are calling it "the Master Plan" is beyond cool. Sign me up!!

On the bright side...

The artistic fruits of this week.
