why this day was bad, but got better

Yes, so you know the stories about the student that does something stupid while cutting something for class. slips and has to go to the hospital? WEll that wasnt me. but almost. I was using an exacto knife between class today, the thing slipped and slid right into my finger. pretty deep. I think i actually hit bone and there was blood, that literally poured. im sorry. but i need to vent this. I ran to the sink to get cold water on it, dripping along the way. I was so proud that i got to the sink and was suprised that it didnt hurt, but at some point after watching all the red water, i started getting queasy, and anyone that knows me, knows that is bad. so i got a paper towel around my thumb and sat down eventually having to laydown. Atfer a few min and jackie ministering to my thumb, i felt ok and worked my way to my desk. I decided to clean up the blood. Back i went to the floor(purposefully)and laid there until i decided to go home, cause of how ill i was feeling. but we were supposed to go to coffee with astrid(ironically the teacher in whose class i passed out in last year) today, and i really wanted to go. So i bucked up and went. And it was fun. She does want to go to italy and germany and some other good professors are toying with the idea, so the outlook is good on the trip next year, pending the influx of money. So now i have a big hole in my finger, covered by a bandaid that wont be removed for days as i am scared to see and pass out. And a half finished ravenclaw scarf for harry potter tommorrow night.
Wish me luck

So, since the weekend is officially over and its Tuesday, i thought i would give a qick run down of the week. After a rather trying time of finishing projects and midterms, i got to settle in the next project. A reclaimation of south higuera, we're still in the prelminary conceptual work so its not too stressful. But on the more interesting and lighter side, i was given a very special privilige last week. Well two actually, but we'll get to the other one later. I recieved an invitation to observe Arnold Schwarzeneggar in a city forum about the special election. On thurs night, i drove down to madonna in to find hundreds of protesters at the intersection, with signs and chants everywhere, i "braved" the section in my car and passed hundreds of glares at the entrance. There were men with rifles asking me my name as i drove in, and i picked up an elderly woman there to give her a ride. We then road the rather long entrance road to large building at the back of the ranch. That night, I unknowling had a conversation with the mayor of San Luis Obispo and sat 20 feet away from arnold as he spoke. He was a very Charismatic speaker, and while people would say thats because he is an actor, You cant act that. Plus arnold is not that great an actor, and responses to audience questions cannot be planned. That night i learned many things. I was informed about the propostions, i learned that arnold is a VERY big man, and yes, he is as tall as my dad.(sorry)
So my other privilige was spending the weekend with a good old friend. Doug came to visit and the weekend was filled with Doug hugs laughs and catching up. Thanks for coming doug. I appreciate it. Hmm, its late, and i dont want a motherly email about my sleeping habits, so i bid adieu. haha. Im out.
