MC 220 Paper

We got our first papers for International Relations class back. 3.4. Which may be the lowest grade I've ever received on a paper. But I had a very hard time figuring out exactly what I wanted to argue - it was on a topic I have very little experience with. I finally found an argument, but it came a bit too late to write the paper on it, sadly. It's only 10% of my course grade, though, so I still have a chance to 4.0 if I do decently well on my exams.

Anthropology 270: Women and Health Exam

First official midterm was today. ANP 270: Women and Health. Multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, matching, and three essays. I had a good time. Good heavens, I'm such a freak...

Homemade Bread!

I have successfully used Granna's bread maker and Mum's recipe to make tasty, well-risen, fully-bodied, delicious bread!
Yay!

Yummy lunch for Becca today.

Oh, the world...

This status update on Facebook from a friend greatly entertained me:
"Today my elderly neighbor asked me to house-sit for the weekend. Though instead of giving me any contact numbers or codes she gave me a small slip of paper containing her facebook email and password. When I asked her why she said that she wanted me to check her farmville account and make sure that at 5:30 I harvest her strawberries so they won't wilt. MLIA.‎"

Mixer!

Lindsey and I went to Grampa's yesterday...and got a mixer! Yay! No more handbeating cookies. : )
Also received a toaster, some more cups, matching flatware, and measuring cups. Woohoo!
Thank you, Grampa! : )

Dude! Slime molds are cool

Fun thing from bio today:
Slime molds: single cells mass together to form slug. Reproduction happens best when some cells hold up the others. "Sucker" cells become the foot; "selfish" cells crawl up and reproduce. How does cooperation ever continue? Kin preference - the nice, cooperative cells group together and the mean, selfish cells do the same as generations pass. So cooperative cells work together to shove away the selfish jerks. Fascinating.

Biking Down Farm Lane

I turned right on Service Rd and took it all the way to Farm Lane, and then went down Farm all the way to Bessey this morning. The bridge is lovely. (Though I have not yet ridden on the bridge, only under it.)
