What a Day!

I recently possibly fractured my ankle. (I say possbile cause I never forked up the money for an x-ray.) This was 4 weeks ago, and since then I managed to almost reach some sort of healed state but in the fervor of my wanting to be "normal" again I believe I injured it again. So here I am limping around campus, it takes me three times as long to get anywhere and I've been forced to use crutches and a cane (not at the same time though). Well last night I installed a special pedal on my bike that allows me to just use one leg to pedal. This morning it was all going well UNTIL I got to school. I had put my mug of tea in my backpack since I couldn't hold the mug and the cane while riding the bike. While leaning over to lock my bike the tea mug top popped off and tea went streaming down my back side. I looked like I had urinated all over myself. Then in my crippled rush to get to a bathroom (all the while trying to find some sort of humor in the situation) I was bombarded by people I know. I hardly ever see any of my friends on campus, let alone all with in 20ft of each other, but nonetheless here they all were between me and the girls restroom. I had to of course stop and run through the formalities of having friends, the hug, the hello, the how's your ankle, do you have class now, and so on and so on. The rest of my morning was spent with a soggy bottom and I was late to my 2nd class due to limping.
What a day!

Ant Mascot

Today in an officers meeting of the Environmental Awareness Club it was suggested that the ant be our clubs mascot. One of the other co-presidents was opposed to this idea because "ants are annoying" . Funny that I happen to fall upon this video today. The most amazing film devoted to ants that I've ever seen.

Hello World

Though I've tried to start a few personal blogs in my past, this is the first time it's been required of me. I'm excited to have no choice but commit to this project and hope that this purpose will lead me to some sort of self development. I've inserted a Links Gadget to link the reader to several websites and other blogs that I find of interest in my spare time. Some will have to do with science and others not, but that's the beauty of trying to remain a well rounded person. Till next time.
