back in step with reality
This must be a “get jooree back in step with reality” week. I’ve be surprisingly productive…..
1)went to the gym (twice!)
2)took my dog for a long needed haircut and got long needed licenses
3) looked up internships online and applied to several
4) finished all my homework
5) wrote wayy too much poetry (it is soo soothing!)
Now, with all this done, I feel soo accomplished.
I’ve also figuered out….I am definetly going to do something in public relations….
Hrmm…lying an obscene amount to make someone look better? I can do that…I can so do that!
Sigh….its nice when you figure out what you’re going to do……
Story of the day:
LONDON (Reuters) - It is one of the world’s favorite fruits, but the banana hasn’t had sex in years and its days may be are numbered
Without scientific help the sterile, seedless fruit could disappear with 10 years, according to a Belgian plant pathologist.
Emile Frison, the head of the International Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain in Monpellier, France, said the fruit lacks the genetic diversity to fight off diseases and pests that are plaguing banana plantations and only biotechnology and genetic manipulation may be able to save it.
“Frison sees it as the only hope for the banana,” New Scientist said on Wednesday.
Without assistance banana production could drop and mark the beginning of the end of the fruit.
“We may even see the extinction of the banana as both a lifesaver for hungry and impoverished Africans and as the most popular product on the world’s supermarket shelves,” the magazine added.
Poor bananas……
