It's been nine months since my last post. somethings have changed. i no longer live in the united kingdom, a topic on which i am still sitting on the fence when the question of how i am adapting arises. my tutor made an interesting comment the other day. see i am left handed and she said that a left handed person has the ability to best adapt because we have been adapting since birth. i asked her what i have been adapting to and she said living in a right handed persons world. maybe i see her point but when i really think about it there isn't much i have had to adapt to. a few instances come to mind. i am forced to use my right hand when operating a mouse, a car, or most game controllers. When I was younger and went to sports camps they never had a left handed club. i don't think that is the sole reason for my complete lack of skill in the sport but it could be a contributing factor. i also suck at bowling and there is no left handed argument there.

other things that have changed. i would like to announce that i have the cleanest driving record of the family. to everyone that knows me this will come as a complete shock but my mom and dad have gotten into wrecks since my european departure. and i know what comments the peanut gallery will begin to shriek, and yes i have only been back on the road for 4 months but I have been an agile and defensive driver thus far, let me add lucky as well. i have two new kitties Hogwarts and Blondie. Blondie's mother was a weed addict he is very demure and always has the im laid back swagger. Hogwarts mother had a different drug preference and its obvious she is a crack kitty. she is very excited and energized at all times. she is the first cat i have seen that jumps in the air to be petted.

right now i am home for fall break, a short period of time purdue grants to us students so that we may attempt to regain our sanity before hell opens up. i spent the first two glorious days locked in studio trying to catch up on my senior collection. i drove home yesterday and within 5 minutes had a plate in the microwave. i didn't realize how bland my diet had become. lean cuisines and fiber one. i really should try to diversify my food selection. my mom's refrigerator was the equivalent of DZ in my childhood. last night i went to a party one of my mom's friends was hosting. a one year wedding anniversary, pregnancy, house finished, husband gaining citizenship party. it was my first grownup party to say the least and i am quite proud of my showing. i was not raucously drunk like the lady downstairs, i made good conversation, and i was not a dessert table stalker like many...ahem father. it was neat to make talk with adults on adult topic things and pretend the most exciting event in my life was the awkward conversation i had with the kroger fruit manager this past week. they found the idea of breakfast club to be the most abstract idea and died laughing when i showed them past costume pictures. overall great night seeing as i finished it with episodes 1,2, and 3 of Seinfeld Season 3. Joe Dimaggio is a dunker?

Today my mom took me flu shot hunting thank goodness CVS and Walgreens were out I despise needles and really don't see a problem with lying in bed for a week with the most amazing excuse. Family fun day also consisted of traveling to Anderson Orchard in Mooresville. Weirdest concept is they have free test taste apples for each species so that you buy a peck of your favorite. So after four free apples, apple cobbler with ice cream, and apple cider my family and I left quite satisfied with ourselves and headed down the road for some more food. Gray's how I missed thee. Never disappoints.

At home I made myself sit down and read the current Time cover to cover. Topics from Obama's healthcare reform ideas and how they don't really fix the issue just patch the cracks, to how housing subsidies are becoming ridiculous in concept and in governmental cost credits are all over my head but its good to inform yourself so you can at least pretend your well educated on current issues. What I did gather is that I want to see the Coen brothers' latest film A Serious Man and that if America is to point fingers at a troubled regime in Iran the man to blame may not be the current President Ahmadinejad, who seems to be the poster boy of Iran but really only controls the domestic economy, but actually the Supreme Leader Ayatullah Ali Khamenei. A man I would most likely run from if he was to ever to come within 100 miles of my secluded and sheltered life.
