the body is pretty amazing...so intricate in detail...i want to study the morturary science i dont think blood and death is gross either... watching an autopsy is kinda cool when you do the Y incision, in situ position seeing everything all the organs in place naturally.  I oddly find beauty in Gods creation even after expiration.

Whoaaa, i wish I could say the same. Butttttt.. I get weak in the stomach....

Yes, the body is interesting, and when you begin to study anatomy, physiology, neuroanatomy, etc. it becomes all the more miraculous.  Once you think about the fact that all the little cells and processes have to do everything just right and in unison, it is truly a miracle that we stay well and healthy as much as we do.  In the brain, sometimes new connections can be "sparked," and that is often what rehabilitation therapy is trying to do.

Yeah i really am starting to have growing interest in rehabilitation therapy

So I'm in a bio class, and I find this to be a very interesting topic. Learning about how people were once so against the idea that the brain is plastic and how those supporting such ideas were ridiculed is all very intriguing.

I think it's amazing how patients suffering from conditions such as the effects of having a stroke to aphasia have the ability to try to be better and that whether or not they can do it relies heavily on the mentality...

it all just seems like such a miracle to me.

Me too. I think it all has to do with your faith. The brain is so complex. How can anybody understand how it will reroute itself when injured.

Yeah that's amazing to me.

So right now I am an undergrad and am an undeclared major. I'm leaning towards pubic health policy. However I after taking a bio class have become really interested in physical therapy.

I want to help in the process. Helping and assisting others have always been one of my callings. The things is I'm not sure how to go from PH Policy to PTA....

Help?

Off-Topic / The overexaggerating girlfriend

« on: October 05, 2014, 09:57:00 am »Message ID: 924212

So, my unofficial boyfriend and I have passed the honeymoon stage. Now that I am away for college it gets really hard because as much as we want to spend time talking we both have things to do.
And I understand that but... Am I over-exaggerating when I get upset and disappointed at him for doing things I tell him not to do?

Like...
I told him not to drink alcohol because he knows how I feel about it and also because he didn't eat all day.. and before I know it hes skyping me drunk... buzzed.. whatever you want to call it..

Am I being too much? Because all I know is I'm not trying to be the obsessive girlfriend who  doesn't allow him to have fun or keep him an alcohol free...

I just want him to absorb the things I say...

First of all, stop being broke LOL!

Here are some ideas....

Go on a picnic to a nice park
Go to somewhere beautiful - a big garden, the mountains, a scenic route
Go play a game or a card game
Join meet up and go meet some new people doing activities you enjoy
Find a busy street corner and sing a song to annoy people and hopefully make some change 

That's all I can think of right now...

That first line was an excellent suggestion xD

Facial scrubs generally help for me, and I have the same problem.  That and wash your pillow case a lot or start buying extras so you can change it more often.  If possible, try to avoid buildings with florescent lights.  I heard those can make outbreaks worse cause either they draw nutrients out of your body, or being under them causes you to burn through more nutrients, I can't remember which.

If possible, try eating more fruits and veggies with vitamin A in them.  For me, the weeks when I'm binge eating carrots are the weeks my skin is nice to me.  Also, if you aren't already, try to drink more water.  When I was in college I used to mainline pop so I started balancing it out by drinking 2 bottles of water for every bottle of pop.

THank you!

i used to have acne everywhere. it got so bad that my parents paid for a very expensive medicine called accutane and i had to take pregnancy tests when i was 13 because it deformed babies in the womb. dried out my lips and gave me *bleep* noses.

aww that's unfortunate.. I'm sorry to hear that.

Young people get bored so quickly its hard to keep them entertained much less for them to entertain themselves lol!  I find reading to be a good solution but I know college kids probably don't read for fun.

LOL Definitely I don't read for fun.... unfortunately college textbooks kill the fun.

Wow that's a very nice first date experience story.  You are a very lucky girl to have parents that hold traditions and to have gone out with a young man who's respectful.  My first date wasn't suppose to happen.  My parents didn't allow any of us to date until we were 16 or 17 years old.  But because my father was sick he wanted to see me experience my first date so, homecoming, prom etc... he let it slide.  I went to Prom with a Senior when I was a freshman.  Captain of the football team and oh just gorgeous.  We went to the same church although I didn't know him personally.  He too was respectful.  My daughter hasn't had her official first date.  I'm completely at peace with that.

LOL That's a good story itself. Thanks for sharing.

That was such a nice story.  I am so happy you had a nice first date and he sounds like a very nice young man.  Good luck and hope there is a second date!

Thank you so much! He is still a little new to the whole dating thing, but that makes us both!
