Mini Med School

Today was awesome!

I spent the morning donating some items to the Goodwill close to here and then buying some dvd cases for our ENORMOUS collection of dvds...this is just half of the dvds I took out of their cases the other day:

Half of our dvd collection, the left hand side is bollywood/dramas and the right hand side is hollwood

Then instead of coming home and sorting through more dvds, I started mounting some stuff on the walls including the kitchen wall mount for paper towels and other rolls like aluminum foil...forgot to take a picture, maybe next time! Also put up some ikea mirrors in the hallway...they look awesome! And finally got our wedding centrepiece flower stems into the apartment to use in the living room...the theme colours there so far are dark purple and dark grey with some black and dark brown accents in the furniture and stuff...I want our room to feel like this room (although very different, but these are the inspiration colours)...this is NOT our living room LOL:

I love this living room SO much! Ours has a lot more black in it and a lot less grey!

I made some tamarind chick pea chaat today yummmy so delicious BUT had a little mishap with the potatoes. So I put the potatoes to boil and forgot that they were on the stove and fell asleep on the couch while watching Ellen. The potatoes had been on the stove for a really long time when I finally woke up and OMG remembered that they were there!!! So I ran into the kitchen EEEK there was no water left in the pot and the entire pot was burnt at the bottom yikes luckily did not use the new pots and pans my mom got us haha! So anyways, this reminded me of a story my friend told me of how her son left water boiling on the stove all night and when she woke up the pot was not burnt at all! That was a kitchen aid pot she spoke of. Today the one I used was Carrera. Did not pass the test! Our new pots and pans are Lagostina or something so hopefully those are good!

This is what my chaat looked like but this is not MY chaat. Mine was more delicious and presented in an actual plate haha!

So the best part of my day was after dinner when I went to my first Mini Med School lecture! My hubby signed me up and let me tell you, it was awesome! The lecturer today was Dr Arthur Brown...he has his PhD in embryology or something and he talked about a gene called Sox9. I learned so much in the lecture! And his discoveries will definitely change the world!! He talked about spinal cord injuries and how the tests they've done in mice and rats with the inhibition of the Sox9 gene might help with the healing process. Here is his website http://www.robarts.ca/arthur-brown

My course notes for mini med school...perhaps upon completion I will be...a mini doctor? Doc? Likely not but it's an awesome lecture series so far!

While waiting for A to pick me up after the lecture I noticed a poster advertising a Kevin O'Leary talk in November at the university! For those of you who don't know, Kevin is on the show "Dragons Den"and he's an entrepreneur http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_O'Leary_(entrepreneur) and basically an amazing one who is now a billionaire! He's going to talk about life, money, and business! I am totally going to get a ticket to go to that...so excited!!

I am still sore after my personal training session at the gym yesterday...more sore than before ugh can't even sit without pain haha but that means it's working right? 

It's FRIDAY TOMORROW! (don't know why I'm so excited because yah every day is Friday Saturday Sunday for me) but we are visiting my family this Saturday and I have cooking class then so it will be an awesome weekend to look forward to!!!
