Yup, the name says it all - Burn! You might be wondering to what i'm referring this term to; well, it's my tongue. I just burnt my tongue. Other than that, I have also realized that in my residence, there are no working power outlets other than in the hallway and of course, in our rooms and the common room. Simply put - the bathroom outlets don't work.
So I was in the mood for some nice hot cup of hot chocolate - but I didn't have all the necessary equipment to make one. I did have "Land Lakes - Cocoa Classics - Classic Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa Mix" which I just realized IS ARTIFICIALLY FLAVORED when I was typing its name, and I also had a mug. You can tell I like chocolate, as long as it's NOT ARTIFICIALLY FLAVORED. Anyways, I was in need of a kettle. Finding a kettle is like finding an Italian resteraunt - you find the best ones in Italy. So I looked for a kettle in a room where people love and make the best noodles. I asked one person and he said the kettle was in the bathroom. As I walked across their room to get it, I saw that the door was shut and the lights on. I asked myself; "Do I really want a kettle that has been with someone in the bathroom?" Not at all.
I resorted to plan B. Instead of exploring and experimenting with the best noodle making kettles, I asked my neighbor for his, and to my delight, he agreed to lend it to me. And then was the bathroom incident - no outlets worked. I literally wasted 10 minutes trying to make this kettle work. I had to move on.
Plan C. I make it somewhere safe and private where no one would ask for some hot chocolate (if they ask, for some reason I can't say no); a place with a door and a working outlet. Something like a room, but no, we're not allowed to have kettles in our room. I really wanted some hot chocolate.
So 5 minutes later, I find myself sipping a cup of artificially flavored hot chocolate and typing this story away. And I wondered, why would they have 22 power outlets in the bathroom beside each other? Is it just a mere coincidence that all of them don't work? or is it meant to be? Someone call the X-Files.
Hope you enjoyed it.

Super Heroes
I got up this morning, and wondered, what happened to that era where all of these powerful super heroes were being introduced? spiderman, batman, superman, x-men, etc...I agree, thinking about this is quite a waste of time and energy, but hey, what else could I do during my first period spare? it was too early to work, and too late to sleep. Anyways, I just found out that they're introducing a new superhero - skate ranger. And then I realized why; people are running out of ideas.
In my opinion, I feel that these days, those old fashioned "cape wearing" super heroes have disappeared, and the modern day tv show heroes are taking over. I think that Alan Shore from "The Practice" or Dr. House from "House M.D" can easliy be super heroes. Alan Shore has the power to outwit and outtalk anyone from this world and possibly another, and Dr. House can save anyone with any diagnosed disease whenever he wants. "The Lawyer with a Cape, or SuperDoctor".
Anyways, the above opinion is pointless and I should warn you that more of these pointless points will be posted.
Check back soon.

Open Heart Surgery
This morning I got up and wondered, looking out the window - hmm, if it were to snow today, then it would be a snow day - quite a useless thought, but nonetheless, I was hopeful. It didn't snow, and it wasn't a snow day. But still, it was freezing. Anyways, enough of the weather report, there were bigger tasks for me today - like the dissection of a sheep's heart...
To let you guys know, I am a vegetarian, and I have never previously cut any meat in my life; and to start off by cutting a sheeps heart, somewhat demoralized me in a way. So I ran off to my biology class and to my surprise, I was the first one...its either no one wanted to dissect the heart, or I was just in the wrong class. Anyhow, there was a tray (the same type of trays from our Dining Hall, but labelled "science" ), with many hearts on it. The teacher told me to pick one...i didn't quite know how to determine which heart was better, so my partner chose a random one. In my opinion, its like picking a banana...never pick the green ones.
During the incision, I felt like I was doing an open heart surgery, just the heart without blood, or an open chest. We had to cut right through the center, almost like cutting a strawberry in half. It was cool, and smelly. People who know me know that I'm a little paranoid - something inside of me kept telling me that the heart was going to start pumping again...which is why I cut some of the major parts of the heart out...to ensure that there was no possible way. I don't think I was supposed to do that part.
It was fun, I stuck my finger into the heart and I could see it through one of the arteries...soon to realize that my glove had a hole in it. In fact, I was having so much fun, I wanted to take a picture with this heart; but then again, i'll get plenty more opportunities when I become a doctor (maybe not, if I become a dentist).
I had lunch next.
Well then...i'll see you guys later. I bet you, you were bored reading this. Hope not.
