( Too much information! )
But enough with the sick stuff!
Since I was bored at CVS, I was doing a price check on all the diffrent items that they sell infront of the pharmacist. For one thing, a large box of condoms are the same price as the cheepest pregency test. And you can get drug testing kits for at home use - in fact, you can get several diffrent kinds, from the one that just tests for mary jane, to the one that tests for the seven most popular drugs. But the two oddest things where that CVS stocks thier pipe selection in thier health section. And while I think that the dangers of smoking is greatly exxagerated and the whole thing reminds me of the temprence movement in all the wrong ways, pipes definatly are not supposed to go next to the tampons
But the saddest thing about this whole excersise is that the take-home HIV test is the most expensive thing on the shelves, at a price tag of $60. Of course, this includes everything but the postage to the labratory, but it still strikes me as stupidly expensive.
And finaly, I've been mulling this about my head since last week, but: In psychology the other day, the teacher was telling the story of her life. She's a deeply religous person, and while Christian, she's definatly not a mainstream one. To me, she actually made sense. The only remotely odd thing she said was that she became a choir teacher - she's a choir teacher who teachers psych on the side - because she didn't know what to do in life, and since in said in the Bible there would be a hevenly choir, she went with music instead of being a lawyer or what not.
However, there were people in my class who thought she was just a little bit odd in her beliefs. The major sticking point was that she thought the point of existance was living. Others in my class made the point that the point of existance was dying, in the sense that after we die we reside with the Heavenly Father which is what He has ment for us all along.
