Anatomy Tourette's

Before I go on to explain what I actually want to talk about in this post I think a couple of disclaimers/ things you need to keep in mind are important to state first:

1. I am a weird person and I am not ashamed of it.
2. Studying is boring and it's important to find ways to make it interesting.

Ok, so I was reading my anatomy and physiology textbook as part of my plan to get better grades this semester. I was reading about the digestive system. About four hours into reading this chapter (four hours of digestion- gross!), I found myself doing something strange. At first I didn't even realize it and put no effort into doing it, it just happened. What was I doing? I was randomly yelling out words that sounded funny. Just yelling them out loud to hear them. And you know what, there are a lot of words in an anatomy textbook that sound funny.

Bilirubin!

Fundus!

Acini!

Then I realized I should probably stop. Didn't want the roomie to hear, especially after that singing incident.

But seriously, those words are fun to say. Try it. Go ahead. You know you want to.

Well, I enjoyed it at least. Probably will continue to do it in reading future chapters, though perhaps not so loudly.

My jedi skills must be lacking

Automatic doors make me nervous. I feel like they can't really be trusted. This is what I noticed as I was leaving the grocery store today. So the sign on the door says "automatic door: keep moving." This I have a problem with. I can't keep moving because the door isn't opening. Oh sure, so far the door has always opened for me, but there are those few seconds when you are approaching the door thinking, "Is it going to open? When is it going to open? Why isn't it opening yet? Maybe it doesn't see me, maybe it's broken. I don't want to look like a fool and stop, but I don't want to walk into the door either. Oh God, I'm right here, please open, please open, please open. Whew it opened." And then you go on with your life until the next time you come across an automatic door and it happens again. I have to admit though, I frequently stop in front of the door, just to make sure. Good thing too, because I swear it only opens when your face is two inches away from the glass.

Better solution: non-creepily (or creepily if that's your thing) follow a group of strangers out the door, or if you are already in a group inconspicuously move to the back of the group. That way if there are any problems someone else will be the one walking into the door.
