Power Vote

Today was a great week for Power Vote.

I am apart of the Environmental Awareness Club, and we have adopted a national campaign titled Power Vote. Its goal is to get as many Americans as possible to pledge their vote to clean energy. Meaning let the American Candidates know that America cares about a clean future. Today the EAC had a table stationed outside of the SU and we attacked as many people as possible to sign on. It was really wonderful how receptive everyone one was to the campaign, and excited to sign. Good job everyone who helped and signed. now GO VOTE!!!

I'm tired

How do we deal with stress? I'm under quite a lot of pressure right now. My life is chaotic with work and school. I have a professor that LOVES to give out homework, he loves it so much that I have daily quizzes and weekly assignments. And work is endless, besides basic care of 80 animals I have 2 different genetics experiments(that's with no experience in genetics at all) and some behavioral stuff that I have been trying to start for the past 2 months. Then I get home and the dishes are not washed, cats need to be fed, clothes washed, bathrooms cleaned, medicine picked up, bills paid, and food made. Plus my great grandmother is dying and there's family coming in from all over....And my parents have essentially given up on my little brother and I am having to help him out of his teens and into adulthood while paying all his bills. I am very tired these days.

Filler 1

It's been a while since my last post and so I feel the obligatory session is in order. Currently I am trying to choose my first domain name. I have had the suggestion that it have my name in it, but I think that may be a little too self centered and uncreative for my taste. I've settled on a few strange names I like. I'm really quite exited to learn about wordpress and the art of keeping a website.

Fast Food Sucks!


Above is a picture of a burger from 1996, the catch, the picture was taken in 2008. This burger has been sitting in a plastic bin for 12 years and it hasn't really changed at all. The meat is a little lighter than a fresh burger, but it looks the same. It was not preserved in anything but a plastic bin. This was not my idea though, the wonderful woman who thought of saving such a weird item teaches nutrition to parents. This is one of her prime examples of how fast food gives you nothing as far as nutrition. Take a look at her blog for more info.
