Goodbye Disney, HELLOOO BODYWORLDS!!

I had to miss Disney World with my band, because I was too weak with Mono to go. But, instead, I went to Body Worlds with my mom!! (See next post) I had to sit down twice inside the exhibit because of back pain and leg pain. It was a lot of walking for me!!

My band director-Mr. Edgar-gave us our tickets, which are still good for a year. I am glad that we get to go to Disney sometime as a family!!


Well, I had better go, we are going Super Bowl Party food shopping now!! BYEE!!

Gunther Von Hagens' BODY WORLDS

I had the opportunity to go see Body Worlds at the Arizona Science Center yesterday, where they use real bodies and real organs by the process of plastination to teach people about the human body. They put the cadavers (bodies) into real life poses to show how the different muscles help you. It was so much fun seeing all the muscles and organs, especially the brain and heart, and the section about the fetus and how a baby grows. They even had a female specimen with a black lung from smoking, and a baby inside of her!! It was cool, but also sad. Seeing all the young, fit bodies made me wonder how they died. None of them had any signs of trauma, so it made me wonder if they had any diseases, or if they were poisoned, or something else.

I went with my mom, and she told me more about the organs, and helped me to understand certain things about each one. She even had me point out different organs in the bodies without her help, and she says I did very well, and will make a very good medical examiner when I grow up.

Yesterday was such a fun day, and even though I had to miss Disney Land with my band, It was worth it!! I'm just glad I could spend my day with my mom(:(:

Especially joking about how small asian men are XD

Hangin' with the Knights: Confusion

Last Wednesday, I went to Higley High School to register for my classes, and learn all about their school. It was fun, but it left me confused.

I want to go to Higley now!! I don't know about Highland anymore...But the paper has been sent in, so it's up to the principle of Highland to approve or deny me, and it's up to God to put me into the right school. Higley for my friends and closeness and the convience that I have already signed up for all my classes and planned all of my 4 years of my academic life for my 4 core classes that will help me to become a Medical Examiner.

I just don't know.

God, this is in your hands now.

BRACES

My braces now have two rubbers bands strung across my brackets. One that goes from the bottom left jaw, the very last bracket, to the first bracket with an attachment on the top right jaw, and it goes around that, and down to the third bracket from the back on the bottom left jaw, and my other one goes from one newly created attachment on the front of my mouth, to another newly created attachment on the bottom front of my mouth, so it goes right across the front of my mouth, and was highly distracting for people when they first saw it. The only time I can take the bands out is to eat, brush my teeth, and play my flute. They aren't so bad.

People have been asking me if my mono is contagious, if they can get it by sitting next to me, and how long I will have it. The answer is yes, no, and 3 years. The only way you can get it, is by eating or drinking after me and getting my saliva in your mouth. So it's easy, but still difficult to get.


Anyway, I had better go help clean. bye!!

I KNOW WHY I AM SO SICK

I HAVE MONO. THAT'S RIGHT, MONO.

That's why I was (and am) so sick.

I went to the doctor, got my blood test taken, and PASSED OUT in the hallway. I missed school ALL that week, and even the last two days of the school week last week. Pretty scary stuff!!!

Well, today is the Super Bowl, and I had better get going so I can clean for the PARTAY!!




GO STEELERS!!

Rooting for them for you Jamie Gallegos(:
