A picture of a place you'd love to travel



Costa Rica! Beautiful turquoise water, warm sunshine, Spanish, national parks, whitewater rafting, colorful cultures, incredible biodiversity- let's go!

Day 6

A picture of someone you'd like to trade places with for a day

I can't think of anyone famous or nearby that I would honestly like to be for a day. However, I would really like to get to know a totally different culture from the inside. Through visiting, studying, reading books, and talking with people you get to scratch the surface and learn from the slant of your own cultural background, but through truly being another person, you would automatically understand the language and customs and how things came to be accepted as they are. I would like to see the world through completely different eyes so I can have a broader perspective and a more understanding heart. That would be the ultimate total immersion experience. :)

New Alphabet

Does anyone else think it funny that you have to learn a whole new alphabet in order to understand, say, Chemistry? "p" is no longer just a letter, it is also an operator that means "take the negative log of". C, c, E, e, F, G, H, h, J, K, k, L, M, m, n, Q, R, S, T, V, W, and Z all suddenly have double identities, too- or more! (think K- it can be a temperature or any one of several different constants, depending on the subscript). And don't get me started on X and Y. LOL Funny how studying chemistry for hours at a time warps your perspective on life. I understand why, though- it really IS a different language ;)
