joined weight watchers...whooo hooo...i've gained wayyy too much in the past 9 months.
Soo I haven't been on in awhile. A long while.
School and work and pregnancy took up a lot of time.
I had a wonderful pregnancy. Morning sickness in the beginning, but other than that I felt great.
We found out when I was 5 months that she was a girl. The happiness I felt at during my two ultrasounds, watching my baby move was greater than any happiness I have felt before or since.
I just wish I'd known those were the only times I would ever see Madeleine alive. I would never have wanted them to end.
Madeleine Anne was born still on July 24th, one week before she would have been considered 'term'.

It's official...I'm pregnant.
The first thing I did was e-mail a midwife I know on Nantucket. This lady has known me since before I was born, she used to watch my brother and I when my mom was working. Ever since I can remember, a home birth was what I wanted to do should I ever have a baby...I have never been fond of hospital births. To me, they seem so unnatural. I will be meeting with her between Christmas and New Year.
The second thing I did was look at baby clothing on hottopic.com. I know, I know, I am a dork...but I made a wishlist if anyone is so inclined!! (Not that I really made the wishlist for that, it's mainly to remind myself what I liked...if that makes sense?? But still...if anyone wants
!)
Then I looked up diaper bags, though I am sooo far from needing any of this stuff, it's just something to calm me down I suppose. Diaper bags now are cooool, and whatever one I get I will probably keep using after the baby doesn't need it anymore...
I haven't told my boyfriend yet as I am not on the island. I can't wait to see the look on my parents' faces, they still think I am a virgin, I swear.
I am (even though this is soooo not a good time in my life to be pregnant) very happy about it.
Aurora for a girl, and it my boyfriend doesn't like it, well, he can give birth to the next one!! (I know, I know, overused saying, but so true nonetheless.)
Noooow I just don't know what to do about New Year. I had plans to go to Bulgaria to drink copiously with friends. The midwife said I can travel...But I just don't know how much fun it's going to be without the drinking!! I know that sounds soo awful, but...has anyone else ever been the only sober one amongst a group full of drunk Bulgarians? (Or really, any nationality, for that matter?) It ain't too much fun!

I took a pregnancy test yesterday, and it was negative. I took the other one today, but wasn't expecting anything different.
But it was positive...which really confused the shit out of me.
So I went to the nearest pharmacist and asked how accurate it was. She said 99%, it's extremely rare to have a false negative.
I asked why it would be negative yesterday, and positive today. She said that because of the fact that it would be so early in the pregnancy, that today might be the first day my hormones have built up enough to show positive...
I don't know what to do...I just don't.
And I have a final today!!!!

Chemistry Exam Question
The following is supposedly an actual question given on a University of Washington
chemistry mid-term.
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic
(absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law
(gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some
variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we
need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate
at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a
soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different
religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state
that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.
Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not
belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to
Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number
of souls in Hell to increase exponentially Now, we look at the rate of
change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order
for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of
Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls
enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase
until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in
Hell then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes
over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year
that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take
into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two
must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already
frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen
over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is
therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the
existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept
shouting "Oh my God."

local article:
Police and school officials held a joint press conference Friday to address threatening graffiti written inside bathrooms that led to the closure of the school after classes ended on Thursday.
The graffiti was first discovered Wednesday morning and was reported to school superintendent Robert Pellicone and police.
The words, "The Blood Frost Prince" were written inside a bathroom on the second floor of the high school. The word "bomb" was written over that message in different handwriting.
"I did not perceive a bomb threat on Wednesday," Principal George Kelly said.
On Thursday more graffiti was discovered in a bathroom on the first floor of the high school.
The message, "Bomb CPS 1700 The Blood Frost Price," was written on the wall.
"We did believe that graffiti was of some security risk," Kelly said.
The school administration, along with police and fire officials, reached a consensus that the students should finish out the day, but made the decision to cancel after-school activities. At that point, a meeting of the school faculty was held and teachers and janitors were asked by police to search their areas of the school for anything suspicious.
Nothing was found to indicate there was anything out of the ordinary, and there was no need to bring in a State Police bomb squad or bomb-sniffing canines, police chief Bill Pittman said.
Pittman added that the messages were likely part of a "graffiti war" among students.
The school was in session Friday with no noticeable drop in attendance. Pellicone reported only five students stayed home because of security concerns.

aaaand it all ended up being a prank...but the fact is that the first threat was detected a day before anything was done!! eeerrgh people are craazy....who writes shit like that anymore?? how pulls pranks like that?!? it's like yelling 'fire!' in a crowded theatre, or 'bomb' in an airport!
eergh.

i don't like this new layout of SG...
goal for next semester: raise current 3.15 GPA to 3.5, get on dean's list, don't drop a single class. I neeeeeeeeeed to transfer into a good school, and hopefully spend a few months at the American University of Bulgaria. I already have the GPA for the AUBG thing, but I want a few more credits under my belt first!

sooooo i randomly took a test the other day, and it told me some of my eating habits resemble those of an annorexic, but considering my weight ('cause, i'm like, wicked fat) it said i am not.
now, i know i am not an annorexic. but i think it is horrible that this test just dismissed the possibility because of weight. i am not asking for an eating disorder here, but i am thinking of those girls who maybe are really skinny but weigh more than they look 'cause they have big muscles or all fat and no muscle or whatever...if that makes sense??
these girls could be serious annorexics, and, because they don't weigh like 90 pounds, they aren't technically one...at least that is what the test was implying.
i have wondered in the recent past about the possibilty of whether or not i have an eating disorder. i am often extremely hungry, then eat literally one or two bites, and, while i am not full, i'm just not hungry and don't want to eat anymore. but i know this stems somehow from when i was very ill as a child, my doc. told me so...
alright i had a point...but the last paragraph confused me. lol.
i guess...everything shouldn't be dismissed because of the number on the scale. nor should this test be claiming to give a definite yes or no answer...blah.
ok.
decided to change my alias.
oh. and i am becoming a vegan. well, right now, just for a month. to see if i can handle it.
mmmyup.
