Peppermint, you save me

i have ranted about peppermint before and i'll do it again. IT ROCKS! it was nice not to have class last night and go out with some classmates, but man, going out on a school night can have an affect on you the next day. at least nowadays. for me. i found my first gray hair yesterday and was like, shit that's pretty cool. then feeling groggy after lunch, patted my temples with some peppermint oil and poof! instant perk! now with a sliver of a hangover (thank god i remembered the ibprofen and glass of water at bedtime), i dumped some peppermint oil into my green tea and rubbed some on my temples and it's clearing the brain and the stomach nicely.

thank you peppermint leaf for being created and continue growing!

Passed!

I passed my exam for the first section of anatomy classes in massage school! Yaaayyy! Now as long as all the info stays in my noggin, I'm good to go :-) What an amazing language anatomy consists of. All those greek and latin-sounding names really make you feel sophisticated (when you get the pronounciation right). I find it so fascinating and mind-boggling the way our bodies work. how are muscles start in one place and insert in another; muscles help each other out; they protect vital organs and nerves; the list goes on and on. My brain definitely feels more full.
