I am so busy studying for finals. I have had several nightmares about one specific story my Microbiology teacher told us during the lecture on leprosy. He did research in Africa for over 40 years in some of the poorest African colonies. He would go to the bank and take out money that was sent to him from the US for his research. Outside all of the banks are leper colonies begging for money. One of these times he decided that he would find one worthy person with leprosy and give him the money. Leprosy causes nerve damage and tissue destruction so people with leprosy have very poor coordination. The person he decided to give the money to had lost all the skin and tissue around his fingers so just the bones were sticking out of his fingers. He reached up to take the money from my professor and reached too far and dragged the bones of his fingers down my teacher's arms. My teacher said he screamed and ran off and then lived in mortal fear for 5 years that he would get leprosy. UGH, I can't stop thinking about that, it is so awful. Exposed bone of lepers scraping down your own skin, ahhh! Nightmares!

This is what happened to me last night. Jared graduated yesterday and his family is here and they invited me to go out to eat with them. We went to Chili's. I was sitting on the corner and my food came first. I am not sure how it happened but when the waitress set my food down she some how missed the table and she dropped the entire plate of food upside down directly on my lap, including the plate. I was frozen, I had couldn't react, I had no idea what to do. The waitress kept apologizing and trying to clean all the food off my lap and Jared and Brian were laughing hysterically. The manager came over and everyone apologized profusely and brought me new food and then he came over at the end of dinner and said they were giving me a free dessert to go and they didn't charge for my meal at all. So I ended up with free dinner and dessert, it was totally worth it!
