sunburned

James and I were invited to go see the Tech game this weekend with the lovely Mr. Pbody and hakeber, and after sitting in the direct sun for a few hours, my head is BURNED.

The worst, is that I cut my hear very short (buzzed), and as a result, my actual scalp is burnt. Since we are going on a cruise later on this week, I am going to be sure to pack two things indeed; sun screen and hats. Lots of hats.

Ouch!

In school related rants, I am half way into this Microbiology class, and I am more than over it! The questions on the most recent test were so detailed, and the amount of information required for the test was staggering to say the least. I will be happy when I have this one behind me for sure. The lab midterm is this week, and I hope that I do really well on it; especially considering it is 50% of my grade. Why do they have to do that in these classes? I mean, if you want me to LEARN it, why make it so I have to cram, and am more likely than not, most likely to forget most it? I don’t get it. I am still waiting to hear about nursing school at Kennesaw, so I want to be sure and do well in this class; but I don’t see an A in my foreseeable future, which does stress me out.

    In my entire collegiate career I ended up with a C in 3 classes– microbio was one of those. Beyond the basic concepts, you are going to learn and forget more than you will ever use (like with most pre-req classes)!

    Cruise - where ya’ll going?? Sorry about the head - take care so you don’t get skin cancer.

    I hate that. I always shave my head and I always
    end up getting burned. I DO wear hats every once in a while, but I am not a hat person generally. I hope the cruise is fun!

    Duane - a tip:
    I’ve been a buzz cut man for ten years now, and the best advice I can give you is to bring a bottle of the spray-on sunscreen that you can spray directly onto your scalp. The cream is way too hard to apply to your scalp, and you need full protection. Yes, it makes your hair a little funky, but you need to not burn your scalp!
