I love that the major controversy about our football team right now isn't about one of the players getting arrested! Instead the controversy concerns the color pink. It's really rather refreshing. I even wore a pink shirt today, but that was mostly just because I really need to do laundry and it's about all I have that's clean.

I have never thought the pink locker rooms were anything other than a clever and funny tradition started by one of Iowa's best football coaches. It's not homophobic or sexist. At least it wasn't until a law professor decided to make pink paint homophobic and sexist. (I kinda want to leave a comment on that blog.) Would she have the same problem with purple, lilac, or magenta? Maybe magenta because the wrong shade could induce headaches and possible brain hemorrhaging in the players. Did she ever think to ask the opposing teams how they felt about the pink? Am I potentiating the whole pink thing too by writing this? Just see what Google comes up with when you type in "pink locker room". What would she say if they painted the women's basketball or volleyball locker rooms pink? Would that still be homophobic and sexist?

Not only do the non-supporters of pink want to get rid of the pink paint they "want the locker room gone." Isn't getting rid of the locker room a little excessive? Not only will they have to buy new paint but a whole locker room as well! Then she would have to complain about the money spent on building a new room that is only used a few hours a week.

I just looked for her blog and she has apparently deleted it! Interesting...

Josh told me to go to bed over an hour ago now. I should actualy listen to him for once.

Fall is coming!!! So are my exams.

I see highs in the 60's in the forecast!! I want to wear my fall jackets and sweaters and sweatshirts! I actually want to wear my winter coat, but that's just because it is new!

I shouldn't have let Josh come over for dinner after he was done with tkd. I have not been very productive since he left. I have an exam in 15 hours and another starts 27 hours after that!!! I should study. There is so much material.

I think I am going to have to take a day off from work just so I can get some extra study time in. I have three exams and a lab report all within a week. I don't want to study anymore and I haven't even started studying for one of the exams or started writing the lab report. I don't think I will be making it to tkd much this week.

Dr Pepper Lip Smackers are pretty much my fave. But what is even better is giant Dr Pepper Lip Smackers! I found one that is about four times bigger than a regular Dr Pepper Lip Smacker. I should have bought more than one!

The new lab space is so nice. We have windows!! We didn't have any windows in our old lab space. It was like a dungeon on the third floor. The view of Iowa City from our conference room is great. I wish I had a camera to get some pictures. It is good to finally be in the new space.

For some reason everyone who doesn't have anything to do asks me. I am the lowly-undergrad-lab assistant and they all look to me when they can't find Carla our lab manager. I honestly don't have a lot for them to do, but that is mostly because I don't trust some of them to do a decent job of some of the things I can come up with so I would rather do them myself. I understand that they don't want to bother Carla because she is very busy, but do they have to look to me. I think I am one of the few people that actually knows where all the stuff is going, but they should be able to figure it out. It's amazing how lost the scientific people can get when what they need to do doesn't require science.

Since I got sick last Saturday I haven't had much of an apetite. I keep losing track of time since both my watches broke and I haven't been getting hungry for lunch like I usually do. That was how I knew it was time for me to finish up what I was doing, eat lunch and get to class. Now I have to get to class!

I have weird dreams when I take naps. I think my nap was too long because I am kinda groggy now. I am not very good at this napping thing.


9:46pm
I think the nap was a bad idea. I was totally out of it during tae kwon do. My body just wouldn't do what I wanted it to. I could barely even remember what I needed to bring with me to class!

So tired... must study... should run tomorrow morning since I have new running shoes... get off the computer... must study... exam Friday... where's my paycheck?... want to eat squash.

Feeling better!

I am feeling better. Still tired and coughing, but not as stuffy.

Acorn squash is so hard to cut. I guess that is why it is considered a hard winter squash. I think I did better this time than I usually do. I was surprised it went so well since this one was bigger than I usually get. I have always baked it with brown sugar and butter, but I think I may try a savory version next time.

Poor me :`- (

Why did I have to get a cold the week I have a quiz and an exam? Yesterday morning I was feeling pretty good, but as the day progressed I got stuffier and my throat go scratchier. Josh was sent home sick from work because he puked in front of a customer and he was looking more pale than he already is. He called me and before he hung up to go puke again he asked me to pick up some Resolve. I gave him some 7-Up and saltines and he finally kept something down. By the time he was feeling better around 9:00, I was barely able to breathe or stay awake. I slept through most of the movie we watched last night. We were a pretty sorry couple yesterday!

Laura keeps asking me to not breathe on her. I keep threatening to lick her door handle and cough on her. That's kinda gross now that I am thinking about it. I doubt it has ever been cleaned.

I just found out my uncle is flying the jets transporting the refugees of Hurricane Katrina. My grandma and mom are worrying about him because of the way people are acting down there. I heard Delta was offering free flights to those people, so I figured he was probably piloting some of those planes. It is so chaotic that it's hard for me to begin to imagine what it is like. Whole towns have been wiped out by flood water and wind!

I want a hamburger!!

I have been watching a show about hamburgers and now I want one.
