Correction!

Okay, so the Diabetes Alert Day I mentioned yesterday is actually called "Raise Your Voice: Type 1 Diabetes Awareness Day." There is apparently a Facebook event, so if you have a Facebook account (I don't, FYI), join it. And there's a logo contest with a really cool prize: a kitchen scale that calculates nutrition facts for you. I might just have to enter that…

Type 1 Diabetes Alert Day!

Ah, it's been a while.

Anyway, a blogger I read fairly regularly, Kerri, has declared Monday, April 14th to be Type 1 Diabetes Alert Day. Since Type 2 Diabetes has its own day on March 25th, type 1 has to have one, right?

Here's her post. It explains the idea better than I could. So read up on Type 1. Here is the Wikipedia article, which does get kinda technical, but it's good info. And by all means, if you have diabetes (of any type), tell people! You never know what could happen.

Tomorrow is…

Well, I missed Pi Day and St. Patrick's Day, but I refuse to miss Won't You Wear a Sweater? Day.

It's tomorrow, March 20th, in honor of what would have been Mr. Rogers' 80th birthday if he were still with us. All who want to participate should wear their favorite sweater, any style, tomorrow.

I miss Mr. Rogers. Great show, great man. I plan on wearing a sweater tomorrow. Definitely.

Mmm… Girl Scout Cookie.

Ahh, All-Abouts. Yum. I like shortbread, I like chocolate, and it's always fun to find out what Girl Scouts is All About.

This one's particularly funny. If the picture's a little hard to read, it says "Girl Scouting is All About…Girls." Man, I didn't see that one coming.

So, three words that describe this cookie: Duh, LOL, Yum.

College Ramblings, etc

Happy Belated Moustache Day (March 2nd)! And even before that, Happy (really belated) Birthday, Dad! Wow, it's been a while. When will I ever update my blog on a regular basis?

Anywho, I finally received my "you got in" packet from Virginia Tech, telling me I'm eligible to apply for University Honors (which is supposed to send me another packet with the application.) I had already gotten in to VT, but it's nice to know they hadn't forgotten. I just hope Case and Rensselaer tell me soon, or God gives me a lot of patience to be able to last until April 1st, when pretty much every school in the country mails out the letters. I'll probably visit Case over Spring Break and hopefully talk to someone in the Engineering Department. I haven't actually visited Case or Rensselaer yet, so I hope I like them, since I've already applied. (But if I don't like them, it's just one more point in favor of VT, which is a wonderful school. So there's actually no problem.) I'll just pray that God makes it clear where He wants me.

Well, I'd better be studying for my upcoming Calculus test. Posts may continue to be sparse until after the AP exams (and maybe after, since I'm not exactly in the habit of posting…). But hey, the library has lots of lovely reading material. Have fun.
