So in my process of trying to get rid of old school papers I started reading over tihngs. This was a presentation we had to do for a Biotechnology and Society honors class at Canisius. My group tried to make it more entertaining by making it a soap opera. I think I prolly forced everyone else into this idea as I loved soap operas and was taking a script writing class at the time. It was funny cuz we still had to make it a education presentation about the drug so i had to throw the science into the script.
By the by, I feel like typing the script here cuz I found it hilarious. Though I generally find tihngs I do hilairous (haha) so I'm sure most people won't read through it but there are lots of good parts...enjoy!

Ok so i started typing it and it is way too long. But bascially it is the story of a little boy with asthma and a shady doctor who kidnaps him to do drug trials. The boys parents tell his little sister (who had promised to always protect him) that he died while she was playing with his friends cuz he choked and she wasn't there to save him. (they thought it would be easier to handle than telling her he was kidnapped) The shady Dr. marries the head of a drug company but then gets divorced. The kid with Asthma, Christolph who is now 18 escapes and goes to a homeless shelter as he has nowhere to go. Vivianca, the shady dr.'s ex-wife, volunteers there 2 hours a week to make up for charging poor dying people millions for life saving drugs. Christolph and Vivanca fall in love but he can't tell her he has Alpha-1 protinease inhibitor deficiency hereditary ashtma because she talks about how she hates people with weakness. Meanwhile, Amanda , Christolph's sister has devoted her life to researching a cure for the disease she think killed her brother. She discovers it and brings th info to Vivianca who refuses to make ti saying they oculdn't make neough money on it since not enough people have it. Amanda convinces her they can sell it really expensively to the poeple cuz they really need it and so Amanda and Vivanca go out to celebrate. Christolph is there and after a brief wonderful reunion, when he finds out his sister is involved in charging millions for a life saving drugs he leaves them both and runs away again. Vivianca learns a lesson and creates a progaram where people can get the drug , Aralast for cheaper if they are poor and eveyrone gets reunited in happiness. Except Dr. Shady who goes to jail and is always "tested" on by his 400 lb. cellmate named Sharky.

The best part of it all though is that it really does have lots of infiomrations worked into it. I tink we got an A. It was really ridiculously cool. I will try and scan it in sometime.

Everyone should really stop by the (e:lilho) garage sale tomorow. I was there today and it was pretty amazing. There is some really cool stuff. 24 LInwood , tomorrow afternoonish I'm guessing she'll put it out. This ho had some good stuff...check it out\

Also I got a B+ for my final physics grade. For seriously not understaniding one thing about physics...that is pretty awesome in my book!

So tonight felt good for two reasons. One the Sabres won and it was fun to watch (that is why (e:lilho) will kill me). I can't help it. I am not the hugest sports fan but there is something exciting about the Sabres and just about anything that makes so many people exctied. I like the idea of everyone being excited about everything and being in a good mood. Secondly, I threw all my physics related materials into the recycling bin tonihgt. It felt so good to just rid myself of them finally!! Ugh I hated physics so much and now it is all done.

It was nice to have two things that made me happy and excited tonight. I have been lacking in the exciting/happy things department lately. I'm just at another one of those kinda blah phases. I don't know, I just kinda wish I knew more what I wanted out of life.

I am totally drawn in to anything in marathon form. As some of you know last summer I tried to get into Grey's Anatomy and watched Season 1 but then gave up on it. While in Tennessee me and (e:jill) watched a lot of grey's anatomy season 2 cuz jen has it on dvd. Like i fell in love with it. TO an obsession. Last night we watched some more but then Blockbuster was closed before we could rent the next DVD of it. I could watch it for hours. I just need to know what happens next. ANything I watch a lot of episodes in a row about I feel like that though. I can't wait until we see it again. I am torn about watcing it on tv since i haven't seen any of season 3 and should prolly just wait for the dvd and watch it in order. I don't know.

Also last night me and (e:jil) lconvinced ourselves someone was tyri9ng to break in her porch so after a lot of hiding behind the ocuch and under blankets we finally went in the driveway and searched with knives. It is by some act of God that we did not stab a) ourselves b) each other c) an innocent bystanding negihbor but lukcily we idd not!

Congratulations to everyone graduating this weekend!!! You all hopefully will find great things in the future!!! Maybe you can use your degrees as well as I have (hahah!) !! You all deserve greatness!!

I am accidentally covered in glitter from the kitchen table and have nowhere to go. What a bad place to be in. When you gots glitter you gots to show it off!

So I just had my physics exam. I am pretty sure I failed. There were entire 5 part questions I didn't have a clue about. The good part is hopefully as in the past everyone else failed too and so the curve is workable. We will see. I am just glad it is over! Like never will i hear the word torque again!!! SCORE!!! It feels so good!

I went to Ling Ling for Chinese food afterwards and my fortune cookie said "soon you will sitting on top of the world" so I guess things are gonna go good. Now I have to go to work but then I am ready to party and celebrate being done and having one week off before summer classes start!!! I need to party, stat!

I really need to get a digital camera. I was going to get it before my trip but decided to use up a few funsaver throwaways I still had in the house. I wish I could be posting my journal from vaca right now but have to wait until I get the photos developed. Soon...

Last night at a honky tonk, I back handed a cowboy across the face by mistake and feared for my life..........i 'll post my pictures and more about my trip when I got back

So me and (e:jill) leave in like 5.5 hours to go visit our friend jen who lives in Kentucky but on the Tennessee border. I should go to bed but I just am not tired yet. I can not wait to go. I think it will be really fun to just get away for a few days. Plus from talking to her, her little town and its craziness sound interesting. Lots of "get er done" plastered across windows and other such things.

As anyone who knows me knows, I hate flying and traveling. I have my bonine, and my sea band bracelets and my gum and everything ready but I still generally feel bleh. I seriuosly always need like a day to recover but I have been getting better as I travel a little more.

I also have a problem with overpacking as (e:maureen) will atest too. I tend to bring everything I own with me because I fear not having it. This time though I have packed rather lightly. At least for me. I'm sure in the mroning I will panic and throw in 10 more things but everything right now fit in a relatively speaking small suitcase. I am quite proud of myself!!! I seriously get crazy when packing. I honesty had to debate whether to bring my confirmation ring which I have virtually never worn since I got it like 10 years agao but what if this is the weekend I want to? I hope it doesn't get too cold there in the next two days as I brought virtually no sweaters!!! Well I hope I survive!!!

We didn't realize we were going the weekend of the Kentucky Derby but then when we realized we wanted to go but could not get tickets. It is also like 3 hours away from Jen's house. So we aren't going and then today I find out the Queen is going to be there. The Queen of England that is!! HOw did i not know! I read royalty websites like eveyrday though I do favor other royal familys over the English which get the most play. SO I COULD HAVE SEEN THE QUEEN AND NOW I CAN'T! THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MY CHANCE TO BECOME ROYALTY!!!! eh maybe we'll see her at Target or something while we are there.

Well I will see y'al again Monday night. Have a good weekend!
