Ash Wednesday

Behold, it is Ash Wednesday!

So this year lent will fit in conveniently well with my ‘drop ten pounds before Greece and Kris’s wedding’ mission. I hereby abstain from chocolate, pop and personally buying stuff at vending machines for forty days. [The sanity clause here is that if someone like Steph (for example) bought sour soothers (for example) from the vending machine… I could have one of those.]

Also because it is Ash Wednesday I will finally stop putting off reading Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven Life. It just takes awhile, it’s not that I don’t want to read it. Everyone has nothing but good things to say about it; come on, even Josh Garcia said he’d consider giving it a try.

Yesterday in biology we dissected an eye. It was pretty strange, and it took forever just to cut away the extra fat and stuff surrounding it. I like dissections. Sure, they’re pretty gross but hands-on activities are always better than watching dismal junior actors try and try and get their point across.
