Well last night I failed after sitting in front of a computer for 3 hours doing math I bought myself a $3 cup of coffee, alright not really coffee a frappachino. After taking a sip I knew life was going to be okay. Math takes everything out of me. But since I was in front of a computer I read up on current news and found some really interesting things on bbc world news.

One article was about womb transplants, (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8319698.stm) British scientist are saying could happy with humans in the next 2 years. A breakthrough like this could offer an alternative to surrogacy or adoption for women whose own wombs have been damaged by diseases such as cervical cancer. I have never had any desire to have a child so maybe I should not have any oppion on this matter, but this is one of my tiffs I have with gay couples and any couples for that matter who are sturggling to have a child. I HATE HATE HATE alternative ways of getting pregnant. If you want a child that bad ADOPT, the world is so overly populated and there are so many children that need some love... I think we are messing with science too much, go a head empregnant me with a pipet, NO THANKS!

Alright well I better get back to this stinkin 10 page paper that is due tomorrow...yikes!

MONEY!

My first real post, I guess, just seconds after introducing myself but MONEY MONEY MONEY! I feel like I have been spending way to much money lately and I feel pretty awful about it. I am in no way digging myself into debt but i just feel like I am buying a lot of unnecessary things so this week I am going to keep track of EVERYTHING I buy. Its going to be an expensive week, my roommate and I have not gone groceries shopping together in close to over a month, rent is due and this up coming weekend is halloween ( I still have no idea what I am going to be) which I am sure alot of money will be spent on booze....

As of Today I have gone to the grocery store twice once before class and once after. This morning I ran into the store and bought a luna bar and an apple for breakfast, I threw out the receipt ( I find receipts a HUGE waist of paper) but my breakfast cost me around $3.50 and then after class and working out I decided I needed to buy lunch so I went in and bought a box of mac and cheese and carrots and then the shelf of stuffing next to the mac and cheese grabbed me and I had to get the 2 for $4.00 stuffing! I spent $9.42 on lunch and probably a few meals to come....carrots have become one of the only vegtibles I eat, I feel like they last a long time....

Today is not at all close to over, I still have one more class and a paper due tomorrow and a paper due wednesday, I hope I do not spend anymore money today but we will see......

my first post

This blog has been in my head for quite some time. I feel like I have recently been over posting links on facebook and there have been many links that I have held back from posting just because I was afraid of being judged. I doubt many people will read this but I think and hope to find enjoyment with my own blog.

A bit about myself, I am a young 20 year old college student living in the wonderful city of Chicago. I am still living off of good ol mom and pops, they pay my rent and give me money to life off of reasonably comfortable, which is really nice. I am a Women's and Gender Major and I can not get enough of my classes.

This blog has come to be because I have 2 HUGE papers due in the next couple of days and creating a blog seemed to me as a good productive way to procrastinate. This blog I hope will be an outlet for me of sharing and posting issues on women's and genders and just anything I find some what entertaining. I hope who ever out there ends up reading this will enjoy!

wishing you my best!
