Aria Grace Petry-Johnson

Congratulations to Seth and Mel for a new addition to their family, Aria Grace Petry-Johnson. She was born this past Sunday, after a LONG and I bet painful pregnancy, where Mel was a trooper. Weighing over 7 pounds, she gorgeous!

On a quick other note, life here is okay thus far. I have an exam in less than a week and a half now, and absolutely NOTHING exciting has happened to me - nothing. Although a professor of mine did equate a neutrophil (type of white blood cell) to a "navy seal" with "weapons of mass destruction." It was quite an exciting lecture - I picture her having pictures of these things in her house because they are apparently the "coolest cells in the body."

Another teacher-ism

Dr. Riviere: "Kiss Sarah, Sarah." Me thinking in class: "What is he talking about?"

Realization: He was trying to sau Que Sera, Sera, which in Spanish means "what will be, will be." But he said is just like you would read what I wrote. It was hilarious. He also kept mentioning how Huntington's Disease stage 1 starts in your 30s and apparently one of the symptoms is "anamalistic sex" AND "strong sexual desires." Now, I get it, but he continued to mention this in class OVER and OVER again. Every time I read his notes or his name is brought up, all I can think about is "anamalistic sex" - THOSE TWO SHOULD NOT BE SYNONYMOUS.
