Puppy Love

Has anyone but me noticed the attention the press seems to to be paying to the Obama dog situation? And by the Obama dog situation I mean the fact the Mr. Obama promised his daughters a new dog when they move into the White House. Here are some examples of the web sites and news articles out there on this very topic.

from the Associated Press: Obama: Getting a family dog isn't easy

from yahoo news: "Peru Offers bald Dog of Incas to Obamas"

www.obamafamilydog.com A whole website dedicated to convincing the Obama family to adopt a shelter dog instead of buying one from a pet store.

From BBC News: Obama Family dog 'major issue'

From Fox News: Obama: Choosing family Dog is a 'Pressing Issue'

From the Washington Times: Obama" Getting a family dog isn't easy

PETA to Obama: adopt your Dog from a shelter

The AKC conducted a survey to decided what breed the family should get. The final verdict: Poodle.

From Chicago Breaking News: Obama girls getting a puppy.

Amendment 1: I can only hope that the American public turns out to be as interested in rest of Obama's decisions as his dog decision.

Amendment 2:I guess we could call this fascination in the press with the new dog as "puppy love."

Amendment 3: I only have a week and half left until Thanksgiving Break!

Amendment 4: an enantiomer is a non-superimposable mirror image isomer.

Amendment 5: All this talk about dogs makes me miss my little Reggie.

Fun Vidoes and Quick Catch-ups

Well, I'm sorry that I haven't posted for so long. Things can get a bit busy here. My knee is finally starting to feel a little better. I had to get a steroid shot last week, and I believe it might finally be on the mend. I have to go to one more doctor's appointment over Thanksgiving and hopefully I will then find out what is causing my knee pain. I will keep you all updated.

This weekend my dad visited me here at school. That was very nice and really fun. I don't think we have spent that much time together just the two of us for a very long time. We went had a really great time, and it meant a lot to me that he wanted to come down here and spend the weekend with me.

I can't believe that it is only two weeks until thanksgiving break. I have 11 days of school left until break and then only two more weeks of classes after that, a week of exams and then my first semester here is over. It has gone very quickly. I am still loving school and I am planning on officially declaring my major this week as chemistry.

Here is a video that a friend posted on his blog that I thought you would all enjoy:

Amendment 1: I can't wait to see some of you at thanksgiving!

Amendment 2: that doesn't mean that I'm not looking forward to seeing some of you, just that I don't think I will have a chance to see lots of people, as I will be visiting family.

Amendment 3: Pressure equals force divided by area.

Amendment 4: prayers are still appreciated for my knee and also as I find out what is really wrong with it.
