In honour of JSD

Permalink 05:32:00 pm by cassie, Categories: Announcements [A]

John, Steve, and Dave, I have indeed jumped on the bandwagon of A Day In The Life.

.Woke at 7 AM
.Checked my email, phone, and schedule book
.Thought about cramming for a Critical Reasoning test, but realized I had already studied well for it
.Showered, dressed, fixed face (ah, normalcy)
.Relaxed for 1/3rd of an hour and read twenty pages of My Name Is Asher Lev, by Chaim Potok (my all-time favorite book)
.Ate breakfast for the first time since July (it was pancakes)
.Wrote a quick Mark email
.Left for school at 9:15
.Froze in class, took exam, left early, whee
.Ate a McChicken for the 75th time since July (the joys of eating out of your car 4 times a week)
.Felt guilty about being lazy and spending a whole dollar on a McCommie Sandwich when I had a perfectly good loaf of bread and jar of peanut butter in my car
.Browsed WalMart, bought a big bottle of Sierra Mist, was encouraged and felt very frugally pious about the lowlowlow unit price
.Studied the integumentary system and histology (ooh... ahh.. human tissues..) for a few hours
.Made flashcards
.Reviewed
.Reviewed while trying not to concentrate on the senior citizen a table over from me, reading his book out loud in a voice just above a whisper, but just below the audible stage
.Reviewed
.Came home
.Reviewed
.Felt kinda badly about Roy from Sigfried and Roy
.Ate turkey
.Called Stine
.Reviewed
.Watched Even Stevens and pretended to review
.Raised my eyebrows in consideration of burning my Anatomy and Physiology book... or gouging out my eyeballs
.Decided to make a useless blog instead

In retrospect, I have to say that this was an exciting day for me. I'm sure you all can make inferences from the fact. So the truth comes out - I live an incredibly dull life. But seriously, folks, just wait until I get the chance to blog a day on studying Anatomy and pysiology with a table full of men in the nursing program. It all gets better and far more interesting, I promise you.

markHeh, first time I saw "I have jumped the A Day in the Life bandwagon..." I thought it was a band. So i went to mp3 dot com, searched, found this acoustic emo band by the same name, came back and realized what it actually had meant, and felt really really stupid. Heh.

CassieHopefully you got some good music in the process, Marketh. :P And yes, you should read it, Nika. It is, as I said, my favorite book. It's not Christian, and it's about a Hasidic Jewish artist. Oh man. It's the bomb, if ever a book was the bomb. And, Heidi! You are my comfort, my dear! Epithelium! Ah! To hear someone else say it! It's marvelous. I'm not alone in the world either. And yes. Nothing like gay guys in A+P. Nothing like guys in the nursing program. Like, I never had any prejudices about guys who are nurses.. I'm the most unprejudiced person I know... But, man. I've got to say, so far, I have not been impressed by the guys in the nursing program. Thus far, it's all been about the six letter word - C-H-I-C-K-S.

CassieAre they? I had no idea. Well, wait, maybe I did but I didn't think about it. I don't know. What can I say, I was a sheltered child.

CassieSorry John. :) Saw "nika" and must've missed the rest. *sheepish* And, oh yes, I do, Mark. More of one than I'd like, unfortunately. :P I like the book so much because it's what a good book should be - the characters are indescribably real to me, and Asher's pain could very well be my own, it's so well written. The best part of the book, by far, though, is that it's not this neatly packaged story, it's almost like Chaim Potok just took a big slice of his life and put it into a book. The book desn't really have a beginning, or a good, wrapped-up-and-neatly-tied-in-a-bow ending, it just kinda ends because that's the end of that chapter of Asher's life. But besides all that, it gives a little glimpse into the life of Hasidic Jews, and I feel like it's probably pretty accurate, since Potok was a Hasid himself, I believe. In any case, it's a hard book to explain, and you may have to read it through twice to get the full scope, but it's wonderful. Read it. I know you're busy with scool and life, but if you've got time in between Jesuit commentaries, this is definitely a good read.

I like to multi-task: wife, writer, nurse, Christian, ne'er do well. I do all with equal gusto.
