Living.

May is Tuberous Sclerosis Awareness month.

Last year I posted this about the genetic disorder,

the one that I live with.

See, the TSC doesn't usually affect me very much,

and I know that I am so lucky to be able to do well in school

and to be able to say I've never had a seizure.

But, today it was hard to live with TSC,

because it hit me once again that I may never

have anyone celebrate me for mother's day.

Today it was hard to live with TSC

because tomorrow I know I'll go in

get poked with some needles,

and have the angiofibromas lasered off my face.

And because I know that, sooner or later,

they are going to grow back.

Well, now you are aware that TSC exits.

Here's the website if you want to learn more.

SUPERbowl Sunday

The Saints won!

Go underdogs.

I just want to write a quick post telling the whole world that I have really beautiful friends and without them I might not be surviving college... Today was Superbowl Sunday and I had such a great day, despite the two tests that are stressing me out. My two bestest friends and

I made chocolate covered strawberries and then we went all out and dressed up for the game. I went for the Saints and they went for the Colts. My reasoning for choosing the Saints wasn't all that great. My thinking went like this:: Michael is going for the Colts, my roommate is going for the Saints, I don't want to wear blue eyeshadow, I like gold... So I picked the Saints! (And they won).

But the point is that it was really fun taking a break from my weekend of studying to play with them. Here are some pictures to prove how hardcore we were::

I was Bush, Rachel was Manning and Ange was Freeney...

we had not a clue who any of them actually were (besides Peyton Manning, he's kinda famous) but we did good! Bush is actually quite the beast. I always have had a thing for running backs...

And these were the best chocolate covered strawberries in history. Mmmm.

Oh, and in case anyone was wondering. I know what the Golgi Apparatus is, what the function of Ribosomes are, and what the difference is between hypertonic and hypotonic solutions is. If you're curious I'll probably be able to quote off information for another 48 hours.
