Wow moment
I totally agree with the crossing legs thing!! This post brightened up my day as I am now thinking of the good things I have attained so far and less about the stahl I'm stuck in! and just a little wow moment of my own and please forgive my nerdiness:
I am moving to Houston, TX soon and took my two younger brothers there with me for a weekend of errands and fun combined and we visited the NASA Johnson Space Center there for a whole day - my older little brother is 18 and a senior in high school and taking alot of the same classes I did in high school - physics, chemistry, etc. and we are in a college calculus class together also - so we are a couple of math/science nerds and he's planning to go to college for mechanical engineering and I still can't make up my mind (HA!) anyway, the whole day we were running around doing stuff and I didn't get winded on any of the stairs etc.!!! I was so excited!! not to mention visiting NASA made me remember my dream of maybe one day being an astronaut so I got kinda serious about it and looked up info online and degrees required etc... well I know there are some serious physical/health requirements so I called to find out and learned that it may be difficult to get a 'yes' into the astronaut program after gastric bypass surgery because of the difference in nutritional needs, and the NASA dr. said they already have some problems in getting astronauts long-term nutrients etc. but he also said that gastric bypass surgery was NOT listed as a definite no, so that means I am still eligible and without this surgery, I would NEVER have been able to pass any of the other physical requirements for NASA... so who knows? I could go on to be the first gastric bypass patient in space and be a role model for all those others out there like me!?!?!? maybe I'm just dreaming , but I figure if I shoot for the moon, maybe I will still land among the stars... *sigh*
