Small Pox Journal

April 22, 2005--I had a long week so I decided I should write about it on my web journal. After having several papers, quizzes, and having to work 40 hours I have been feeling a little under the weather. However, I mostly assume it has been from the lack of sleep I have been getting. But no worries, since I intend on making it up during the weekend. But tonight I have decided to party it up and go to my friend's apartment. Till then I'll just take some aspirin and lay down till I go out. I'm sure I will be fine by then.

April 23, 2005--Well to recap last night events, I woke up from my nap; the aspirin appeared to have not worked. I was feeling really achy but I did not let that impede my wanting to party. I asked my mom to feel my forehead, to see if I was hot, and she confirmed it. So I decided to take my temperature, 102 degrees, not good. But I still went to the party, being stubborn. I ended up drinking too much, to try and ease the achy feeling, and it did not sit well. I ended up having to throw up in the bushes. People were laughing at me, telling me I could not handle my liquor. Ha-ha, it was funny though.

April 24, 2005--However, when I did wake up I noticed some kind of bumps forming in my mouth. This is really strange since I never have had bumps like these in my mouth. Oh well, I am sure they will go away in a few days. I am not feeling well at all. I don't think it was just the long week that was affecting my health, but I might be genuinely sick, maybe just a fever or the flu? My girlfriend told me she has been going through the same thing. I don't think this is a good sign. However, being a typical guy I will wait it out and see what develops.

April 25, 2005--Still feeling unwell and apparently the bumps in my mouth seem to be breaking, which I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not. There were several of them and only but a few have yet to burst.

    Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein focuses on several social and emotional themes throughout the novel. The consequence of obtaining too much knowledge for one’s good begins Victor Frankenstein on a canter to an early, lonely grave. The theme of isolation inevitably creates two dangerous monsters within Victor and his creation. Victor and the monster’s hunger for revenge results in the worsening of both parties involved, and the theme of prejudices against the unfamiliar exposes how society is sometimes blinded by its own judgments. Shelley’s ability to combine many important themes into a single novel displays why Frankenstein is household name.

  • Essay On Chicken Pox Vaccine

    Mandatory chicken pox vaccine Chicken pox vaccine mandatory for children by Ana Patejdl at The Daily Illini, Available at http://www.dailyillini.com/apr02/apr17/news/stories/news_story10.shtml, Accessed 12/06/03 The above-mentioned article discusses the validity and safety of the vaccine for the chicken pox given to children before they enter kindergarten. The above mentioned article supports the assumption that the decision to give vaccines to children entering kindergarten did not have any solid proof as to whether the vaccine was safe enough for the children or not. The article argues that the approval for the requirement was not backed by the scientific proof that the vaccine was safe. Nevertheless, as the vaccine validity and safety is under debate, there is a healthy assumption that the vaccine would be good for children and would prevent them from dying under the unhealthy circumstances like chicken pox. This assumption is valid as long as there is scientific proof and evidences that: "I wanted people to know there is a vaccine available for them, for their children so that, you know, it doesn't have to happen to them. You know, if we only knew then what we know now, our son might be alive today." Chicken pox, Wednesday, August 7, Available at http://wgntv.trb.com/news/local/eveningnews/wgntv-080702medicalwatch,0,4271659.story?coll=wgntv-evening-news-2, Accessed 12/06/03 In the above example of the statement the evidence is provided through a personal testimonial of a mother whose son has died due to chicken pox. While here we may not argue for the validity of the proof that the lady’s son died due to chicken pox, but that if the vaccine were available he would have survived. There is a direct connection and relatedness ...

  • Summary: The United States Welfare System

    638 Words  | 2 Pages

    The United States government’s welfare program is potentially sending the government down the drain. The U.S. alone is in millions of dollars of debt, and the welfare program is not helping to get the country out of debt but further into debt. Over half of the American population is currently receiving some sort of benefit, and not every person receiving these benefits needs the money. We live in a selfish society. A society where we would do anything and everything to gain a little extra money so we will not have to work for it. The welfare system the United States currently runs is not proper or right. The welfare system is corrupted and full with cheats and frauds benefitting from taxpayers money.

  • Welfare In America Pros And Cons

    509 Words  | 2 Pages

    Welfare is government program in which individuals who cannot support their families, either from lack of employment or lack of good employment, can receive money from the government as aid. The first programs originate from the 1930s as the New Deal when the United States clawed its way out of the Great Depression (Auerbach). The program has its draw backs though. "Welfare is hated by those who administer it, mistrusted by those who pay for it and held in contempt by those who receive it" (Goldmark, 1). The United States is currently divided between people who feel that we should continue to keep the welfare budget as it is and those who feel the welfare budget is too large and needs to be cut down.

  • Reflection on the Use and Abuse of Alcohol

    1088 Words  | 3 Pages

    ...heavier friends. Also, since it takes my body about an hour to digest a drink, I should start to pace myself in order to assure that I do not drink deadly amounts. I have also had time to look within myself and truly reflect on my reasons for drinking. My self-evaluations led to the following conclusion: maybe I shouldn’t use alcohol as an escape from stress or depression because it doesn’t help, but rather it intensifies the feelings I am already experiencing. Alcohol is a drug and it’s surprising that it took an incident like this one for me to truly grasp the significance of making sure my drinking habits are at a level that is safe for my individualized body. Although this experience led to intervention with the ORL staff, in my case it was positive because I have gained the knowledge and self-realization that I needed to make healthier decisions in the future.
