Anyways, there was a post about it on Mad Scientist, Jr. today, and it reminded me of studying apoptosis during neurobiology first semester.
I totally should have written a section in my portfolio about martyrs and soldiers, dying for the greater good of humanity and whatnot, and compared it to apoptosis. However, I think the suicidal implications might have gotten me turned into guidance again, which would have been a pain.
My neurobiology biology professor (although I'm pretty sure he was actually only a postdoc) posted a bunch of apoptosis videos here. The best one I'm embedding below.
In other news, I came up with a nickname for the techie who makes me trip every now and again (although has since stopped): Gordy. The process behind it is that he is the Formerly Attractive Techie, or FAT. I came up with this while I was painting today, and I smiled a little. Then I heard a loud noise and realized that he was drilling right next to me and that my ass was practically in his face. Oops.

AGAIN? I had no idea you were turned in to guidance once! can you tell me about this?
Anyway, I think that would have made a great section for the portfolio, you could have talked about how patriotism is abused too!! (ughhh...I just got wayyyy to excited about US honors again, I have to remember it's OVER, although I keep thinking of great topics for reflections...)like for example, how the lake compounce commercials show a bunch of thin white families dancing around but when I actually went 3 weeks ago, the typical person was a morbidly obese minority??!?! interesting hmh?
also, if you would like to read about the court case I've been assigned for govt you can read about it here! i'll give you a hint, the case was over a poster titled "bong hits for Jesus" great hmh?!

spanish is useful in so many different situations!
and you're such a happy person... why would you EVER get turned in to guidance?
u.s. honors...don't remind me!!!
BLEARGHHH!
additionally, the sound effects in that movie were SNAZZY.
well, it's, uh, kind of a long story. I'll post it at some point (it's in my repertoire of english work from 9th grade).
I KNOW. It's like shshssnshoooom. The sound effects are like the ones I make when shaving my legs (my new shaving cream makes really cool squirty noises)
haha, niceeee sound effects!!
i agree with julie, spanish is quite useful. well, in a lot of movies they always have some random bits of spanish so knowing what they're saying ,or if they're saying it right, is helpful
ps
it was a great essay from freshmen year
yeah i remember that essay....it made me cry
