Well January 20, 2009 will go down in history for many reasons, one of which is that it is proof that America has grown and matured. I was present for the Inauguration event held at our UCF (University of Central Florida) Student Union. It was in the middle of the building on the ground floor broadcast on a huge projection screen – as well as other smaller TV’s all throughout the building. What I noticed among the crowd of students was a local Fox 35 News Cameraman capturing the big screen with his camera through the crowd. I was thinking – how he wasn’t filming the students watching the event he was actually capturing the event on the screen – I was behind him and I was watching through his viewfinder and found it quite interesting… being that I am also taking a Mass Communications minor for my degree – therefore the dynamics of the event and all the side idiosyncrasies taking place at once were – well I guess I could just say I was in awe at the magnitude of it all. I was honored to be present on campus for this moment and enjoyed viewing it from my vantage point. I’m including the photo of the cameraman that I captured with my handy-dandy iPhone – good thing I think fast

I’ve added a link to a video that I believe everyone needs to take a few minutes out of their busy lives to watch. This was shared with me by a dear friend and I am spreading the video to as many people that are willing to watch it because it’s just that worth it. I found it extremely inspirational and every once in a while we all need a lift. The link to this video is on the right side and it’s called ” Finish Strong ” – please click it and watch it – you will be happy you did!

Thank goodness that U.S. Airways pilot had such skill to land that plane safely in the Hudson today – he saved his life along with everyone else’s – what a hero!

Here we go again… yet another semester begins. This time I am only taking 4 courses – I don’t think (other than a summer session) that I’ve ever had such a light load – it just turned out to be that way – completing my Biological Life studies & Health studies for my IDS BS as well as my final Pre-Med Pre-Req course of Physics II. Next year I will complete my Mass Communications coursework and not sure what else at this point in time – but whatever I need to complete my BS degree. I decided to keep this semester science/health/medical focused and based as I gear up toward taking my MCAT once again as well. All in all I am expecting a great semester and looking forward to it. So far the classes look to be interesting and fun – that’s always a plus! 

On a personal note I found this new product called skiniD (www.skinid.com) made by Neutrogena and it seems to be a miracle – let’s hope it helps keep the zits away during midterms and finals! I’m glad I found it my face looks better already – it’s amazing that at my age I am still fighting “teenage acne” isn’t it? Sometimes we just have to play the hand we’re dealt I suppose, I’m glad I now have something to help fight it though

Happy New Year!! Let’s all hope that 2009 will bring only good things for everyone. I am a lot closer to my goal of medical school now with only Physics 2054 left to complete for my Pre-req’s!! I suppose it was inevitable that I would attain this point – just seems that I’ve gotten here faster than I’d have expected. Just got off Carnival Fascination cruise ship – was the perfect way to recharge and ready for the next semester, I am looking forward to it and to attaining 4 more A’s!! I’m so blessed and life is great these days. Let the classes begin – I love to learn!
