Next Year I am Getting the Flu Shot
After a long night of fevers, chills and a deathly-sounding cough, I decided it was a good idea to go to the infirmary. The nurse stuck her swab as far as she could up my nostril (this was unpleasant), sent my boogies to the lab, and returned to inform me that I have the flu. This is the 3rd day I’ve spent in bed, but the good news is the meds are kicking in. Aside from the flu medicine, the...
Bitchy Pharmacist
Brett: the lady at walgreens was such a bitch. i was waiting to pick up my prescriptions then finally they call me and i go up to her and i'm like "they called my name" and she's like "no they didn't"
Brett: then 10 minutes later she's like "oh. my bad. here you go"
Brett: i'm pretty sure she was a lesbian though. and black, so she probably hates white males
Brett: i should have asked her if she voted her race or her gender in the primaries
Classic Michael Quote
Kaela: Everyone has to pick what they want first.
Brett: I already know what I want.

Michael: Well I kind of was...
Brett, Kaela and Taylor: WTF??

Goal 1: Get an Internship in Advertising. Check!
Today was my 2nd day at work at my new job. I’m an intern at the Independent Florida Alligator and I work in ad sales. I previously worked in the online department for the Alligator, but now my responsibilities are completely different. The Alligator is the largest college daily in the nation with readership of 52,000 per day. All employees are students (aside from department managers),...
WatchA man interviews people involved in an anti-abortion demonstration and asks what they think the punishment should be for women who have an abortion if it becomes illegal. Ironically, even though they have been fighting for abortion to become illegal for years, a punishment has never crossed their minds and they don’t have much of an opinion about it.

Top 5 Places I'd Like to Go
1. Dublin, Ireland - I LOVE Irish accents. I have family in Ireland that I’ve never met and I am dying to go over there. 2. Newfoundland - My mom was born there, and it looks incredible in pictures. 3. Venice, Italy - I am very intrigued by the canal systems and would love to see what it’s like to travel by boat everywhere. 4. Iceland - Watching the Sigur Rós dvd inspired me to want...

Dr. Death Speaks at UF
Last night I waited in line for 2 hours to get tickets to see Dr. Jack Kevorkian speak at the O’Connell Center on campus. University of Florida’s ACCENT (the largest student run speaker’s bureau in the nation) paid Kevorkian $50,000 to come speak. As expected, this caused a bit of controversy. Tickets were completely sold out and more than 5,000 students pilled into the...
WatchReally great spoof of the Honda ad.
I suck at life
I just missed the bus to campus. So I figured I’d try to beat the system and chase it to an upcoming bus stop. I got in my car but got stuck at a traffic light, which the bus unfortunately made it through. When it turned green I raced to the public parking lot, parked and ran across the street only to find that I missed the bus a second time by only a few seconds.
So I caught the next bus...

Project 365- Coming Soon
For those of you wondering…
I have started project 365, but probably won’t start posting photos till the end of the week. My first photo was taken on a friend’s camera and I ask her daily to send me the pictures, but she hasn’t sent them yet. Plus I don’t have photoshop on my laptop yet.
No Satellite = No Sleep
Last night it was super windy outside and it blew the satellite dish on the roof in the wrong direction. So naturally I lost the satellite signal, which means no TV. Normally this wouldn’t bother me, except that when I’m in my old room in my parent’s house, I MUST have the TV on when I go to bed.
It all started a few years ago when I woke up and thought I saw a ghost in my...
"For you, a thousand times over."
That quote kills me everytime.
I’ve been on a reading rampage since I’ve been home for break (mostly because I’m bored out of my mind and I have a cold). I just finished The Kite Runner today.
I was reluctant to read this book at first because I knew it was set in Afghanistan, and I try to block out most of the horrible things occurring in the Middle East. But, I’m...
