I'm going to take a break from finals studying and chat for a bit. Part of me gets inspiration from the fact that this is my last set of finals and the other just keeps thinking about the bar exam. Maybe I should just focus on one thing at a time and just do the best I can for the bar and not let my own fear destory me.
I've talked about the pet recall before. I looked it up again and this I found a product that I had bene using. Koki and Mia had finished three quarters of a bottle of Pounce Meaty Morsels Moist Chicken Flavor Cat Treats, which is now on the list, but luckily mine has different code than the one recalled. I am not going to take any chances, so I threw the rest of it away. It wasn't on the list when I first checked. I hate the fact that I can't just feed my cats without worrying that I might be giving them some sort of poison.
Speaking of recalls, for all the news I watch, I never knew there was a peanut butter recall. Today I heard about it in passing in the news as a past event and looked it up. Guess what, I own the Peter Pan peanut butter with the code that was recalled for contamination with Salmonella. Great! In better news, there is only 1/4 of the peanut butter left. I'm clearly ok now and haven't had it in at least 3 weeks, but it makes me wonder if any of those times I was feeling sick and my stomach was bothering me, that it was the peanut butter and not just my body going through its normal getting sick thing. I'm ok and never went to the doctor, so I have no claim, but I can return the top for my money back. Really? I can get a few dollars back after spending more to mail them my cap...yeah, that's gonna happen. I'm glad I'm ok and that is what is important. I'm gald I found out before I risked getting sick again. last night I was so hungry and I thought, oh peanut butter sandwhich, but I had no bread. Then I though, peanut butter on spoon? then I though, yuck what is wrong with you, just go to bed and stop being gross. Thank goodness huh. http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2007/NEW01563.html
I have started packing. I have a lot of boxes full of all my junk. It feels weird putting everything away and getting ready to go somewhere else to start over. Maybe it is because I have never really started. The hard part of packing is that I feel like I will need everything, so I don't pack it. It is really annoying and my room has just as much stuff as it did before I filled up all those boxes.
It was 1987 and I was in the Harlingen, TX mall going to see the Lost Boys. It was a three screen theater and I remember being excited about the movie. When we walked in, I saw a poster for another movie. It was called Empire of the Sun and it had a picture of the Sun and an Asian boy in the background on the horizon. Judging a book by its cover, I wondered why anyone would want to see such a movie. I just looked boring, I mean a movie about China I thought and history I figured. I thought to myself, will there ever be a day when I enjoy watching this type of movie. 20 years later, that memory just popped up, so I ordered the movie from netflix. It was surprising good and not just that, I think I might of enjoyed it as 7 year old me considering it was about a young boy. It stared Christian Bale, when he was just a boy, way before Batman and The Prestige. The lesson I guess is that when you are small you think you know everything and maybe I didn't. I wonder how 47 year old Marty will think about my thinking now.
In case you are wondering, I have one of my finals on Saturday. I really hope I am able to study well for this exam. I have a lot of learning to do.
