- About me
- I'm SarahLiz ... a public health student who just graduated with a second BA (this one in public health). Life threw me a loop and I thought I wasn't headed to a Master's Program (MPH) in 2008. In early June I received a letter from my dream school (University of South Carolina, Arnold School of Public Health) and I was accepted. Instead of totally upheaving my life and moving cross-country in 3 months, USC allowed me to defer my acceptance until the fall of 2009. So, I will be attending the MPH program of my dreams in 15 months! Until then, I am ready to delve deep into the health community & get even more experience.
I am interested in sex education, women's health education, HIV/AIDS and prevention of communicable/infectious diseases. The connection between teens, the internet and sexuality expression also really intrigues me.
In my free time I read (a lot), watch movies and love (but know it's junk) reality TV. My guiltiest pleasure is a super-hot bubble bath with a chick-lit book!

I'm sorry you are having similar allergic reactions as I am to the pollen. I'm guessing that I'm more sensitive to Pine tree pollen. The allergy shots that you are referring are probably steroid-based - if not, please let me know what they consist of.
I got a shot today and am expecting two weeks of relief. Then, I'll pursue a very bland diet and keep adding food items over a week or so to see if there's any reaction. I'm sure glad I'm doing it from this side - where I check if I get the hives rather than trying to see if the hives go away if I remove something.
My 18 year old son has asthma and wakes up sneezing and snorfing. I can always find where he's at by the tissue trail. So, I can relate to your story. I wish you well in going to school in South Carolina. The environment should be considerably different from Oregon's. Good Luck.

Let me know how you like Mermaid, and maybe I'll give it another try soon.
I'm currently reading your recommended: The Poisonwood Bible. This is my 3rd attempt. The first time I was enjoying it, but got sidetracked with other books; the second time, I hated it--I think it had something to do with being very angry at the self-righteous father.
A bunch of the ladies at WAH couldn't stop raving about it, so I decided to pick it up again. Now I'm more than 3/4 in, and I'm actually loving it! I can't believe it! Adah is awesome. If you told me when I first started that I would end up feeling this way about it, I would have disagreed.
It may very well end up becoming a favorite. :o)
