  There were once two kids who lived on the same street, Adam and Lilith. Their parents were all best friends and they were practical raised together. Both were raised to be intelligent and witty. Adam and Lilith's parents always joked that they were destined to be together. As they grew up Adam always demanded that he was better than Lilith since he was taller and faster than her. Lilith hated this. She always felt like she was destined for something bigger. When middle school time arrived, Adam and Lilith carpooled together since they lived so close. Everyone thought they were dating and in middle school this is a huge deal. As they continued to grow up the pressure to date just continued to increase.  Eventually, when they were both sixteen they dated. Adam with his pubscent mind thought he was the most popular and the best looking guy. All Adam's friends asked Adam when he was going to have sex with Lilith. Adam replied, "When she's lucky". Word got around to ...

After Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, God sent them to a cave that was dark. In the cave, Adam was frightened by a snake. Adam begs God to punish them in a place where there are no snakes.God grants this, but with Adam still fearful and insecure he throws himself down the mountain. Eve committed suicide because she was so sad. Adam felt sad that he messed up in the Garden. He never felt hardship with God there looking over him.  (The Garden from Pixabay ) Bibliography:  Rutherford H.

 Adam was the first man to be created by God  in his likeness. Adam had a first wife named Lilith before Eve. Lilith wanted the same equality as Adam, but of course because she was a woman she wasn't granted that :(. She ran away from him and did not return.  Eve was enticed by a serpent to eat fruit from a tree that God had forbidden them to eat from. She also gave the fruit to Adam.  (Yellow Green Cat Snake from Wikipedia ) Bibliography:  Louis Ginzberg, Lilith, http://mythfolklore.blogspot.com/2014/05/adam-and-eve-lilith.html Louis Ginzberg, The Fall of Man, http://mythfolklore.blogspot.com/2014/05/adam-and-eve-fall-of-man.html

My other classes are pretty good. I'm not too stressed right now as it is syllabus week. In Pathogenic Lab we did review of basic Microbiology techniques. I have been a MBIO lab every semester for awhile so it was a breeze. Although I do feel guilty because there are some people that really struggled with the basics. This same correlation happened in my Capstone class. There were some kids who couldn't gram stain or even see anything by navigating a microscope. In the Pathogenic Lab, I let this girl observe how I did quadrant streaks to get isolated colonies. I've done hundreds of these streaks and I don't know if they just dropped the ball on her training. In Capstone lab, I had to leave my microscope at one point while people walked by to see an example of things they should be observing. I thought these classes were going to be challenging, and I still think they are. However, I just think they are gonna progress really slow which is only mildly nerve racking. My Phy...

During the week I was freaking out about school. I was scrolling through tik tok one day and I found a whole video of Llamas and Alpacas just smiling. It made me smile and I feel like everyone should be blessed with it in their head.  (Smiling Llama from Pixabay )

 I've had to repeat this phrase repeatedly over my short time on this Earth. Everyone has gone through hardships and struggles. Sometimes it feels like they are never ending, but in reality they do. Sometimes you have to make tough decisions. As long as they fall within your beliefs I don't feel like you should dwell on the fact you made that decision for too long. You can be putting your time and energy freaking out or obsessing over something else.  (Cat meme from Emirates Women)

I used Monkeytype as my online typing test platform. I liked the aesthetic  of this website and how the words were very random. I honestly thought I was a faster typer than what I got. It told me my average was 70 words per minute. My accuracy was at 98%. I have never taken time to improve my typing. When I was in the 7th grade there was a required keyboard class, but computers wasn't anything I worked with daily until college. I type a lot more now for this class and technology is so ingrained with society I feel like I need to become a better typer.
