磨蹭的女人

爱丽丝真的是很典型的女人，做事慢慢磨，磨到天荒地老。

当她开始梳洗，戴隐形眼镜，化妆...的时候，我已经坐在电脑前，回复了一个邮件，敲起了文字，写完了一篇文章。

过了半个小时，她仍然还在磨蹭。

这时候，你知道脾气不怎么好的我会做什么。

负债

 

虽然说未来的事还是留给未来未来烦恼。

但是，我即将在不到一年的时间毕业了耶！

我想了好多可能性：好的；坏的。

但都离不开负债。

去internship，靠着微薄的薪水，还PTPTN？供车？租房子？

想着都觉得头疼。

还想游山玩水呢？

是时候规划未来，想办法赚钱了。

  还是去找一棵摇钱树？*奸笑*

Paranormal Activity观后感

电视上播映着 Paranormal Activity 2，妈妈拉着喜欢灵异片的我一起观赏。看完之后，我只能用三个字形容---不明白。
于是，我跑去google search，才发现有Paranormal Activity 1,2,3,4。而第四集现在正在各大电影院播映。粗略的看过故事内容以及分析，总结只有三个字---不好看！

完全不是我喜欢观看的电影内容，本人觉得太过沉闷乏味了，加上剧情千转百回，结局扑朔迷离，完全给人自行想象空间。我真的觉得，三个字---很无聊。

不过，我也很佩服我自己，观赏着不喜欢的电影，还可以浪费时间去写影评，实在，三个字---很够力！ 

HPV Vaccine

Already received my HPV vaccine today!
No pain, no dizzy,no feeling uncomfortable!

 

 

 

Why is the HPV vaccine important?

Genital HPV is a common virus that is passed from one person to another through direct skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity. Most sexually active people will get HPV at some time in their lives, though most will never even know it. HPV infection is most common in people in their late teens and early 20s. There are about 40 types of HPV that can infect the genital areas of men and women. Most HPV types cause no symptoms and go away on their own. But some types can cause cervical cancer in women and other less common cancers— like cancers of the anus, penis, vagina, and vulva and oropharynx (back of throat including base of tongue and tonsils). Other types of HPV can cause warts in the genital areas of men and women, called genital warts. Genital warts are not life-threatening. But they can cause emotional stress and their treatment can be very uncomfortable. Every year, about 12,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and 4,000 women die from this disease in the U.S. About 1% of sexually active adults in the U.S. have visible genital warts at any point in time.

Which girls/women should receive HPV vaccination?

HPV vaccination is recommended with either vaccine for 11 and 12 year-old girls. It is also recommended for girls and women age 13 through 26 years of age who have not yet been vaccinated or completed the vaccine series; HPV vaccine can also be given to girls beginning at age 9 years.

Will sexually active females benefit from the vaccine?

Ideally females should get the vaccine before they become sexually active and exposed to HPV. Females who are sexually active may also benefit from vaccination, but they may get less benefit. This is because they may have already been exposed to one or more of the HPV types targeted by the vaccines. However, few sexually active young women are infected with all HPV types prevented by the vaccines, so most young women could still get protection by getting vaccinated.

 

Can pregnant women get the vaccine?

The vaccines are not recommended for pregnant women. Studies show that HPV vaccines do not cause problems for babies born to women who were vaccinated while pregnant, but more research is still needed. A pregnant woman should not get any doses of either HPV vaccine until her pregnancy is completed. 
Getting the HPV vaccine when pregnant is not a reason to consider ending a pregnancy. If a woman realizes that she got one or more shots of an HPV vaccine while pregnant, she should do two things:

• Wait until after her pregnancy to finish the remaining HPV vaccine doses.
• Call the pregnancy registry [800-986-8999 for Gardasil or 888-452-9622 for Cervarix].

Should girls and women be screened for cervical cancer before getting vaccinated?

Girls and women do not need to get an HPV test or Pap test to find out if they should get the vaccine. However it is important that women continue to be screened for cervical cancer, even after getting all 3 shots of either HPV vaccine. This is because neither vaccine protects against ALL types of cervical cancer.

How effective are the HPV Vaccines?

The vaccines target the HPV types that most commonly cause cervical cancer. One of the vaccines (Gardasil) also protects against the HPV types that cause most genital warts. Both vaccines are highly effective in preventing the targeted HPV types, as well as the most common health problems caused by them.
The vaccines are less effective in preventing HPV-related disease in young women who have already been exposed to one or more HPV types. That is because the vaccines prevent HPV before a person is exposed to it.  HPV vaccines do not treat existing HPV infections or HPV-associated diseases.

How long does vaccine protection last?

Research suggests that vaccine protection is long-lasting. Current studies have followed vaccinated individuals for six years, and show that there is no evidence of weakened protection over time.

What does the vaccine not protect against?

The vaccines do not protect against all HPV types— so they will not prevent all cases of cervical cancer. About 30% of cervical cancers will not be prevented by the vaccines, so it will be important for women to continue getting screened for cervical cancer (regular Pap tests). Also, the vaccines do not prevent other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). So it will still be important for sexually active persons to lower their risk for other STIs. 

Will girls and women be protected against HPV and related diseases, even if they don’t get all 3 doses?

It is not yet known how much protection girls and women get from receiving only one or two doses of an HPV vaccine. So it is very important that girls and women get all 3 doses.

How safe are the HPV vaccines?

Both vaccines have been licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The CDC has approved these vaccines as safe and effective. Both vaccines were studied in thousands of people around the world, and these studies showed no serious safety concerns. Side effects reported in these studies were mild, including pain where the shot was given, fever, dizziness, and nausea. Vaccine safety continues to be monitored by CDC and the FDA. More than 46 million doses of HPV vaccine have been distributed in the United States as of June 2012.
Fainting, which can occur after any medical procedure, has also been noted after HPV vaccination. Fainting after any vaccination is more common in adolescents. Because fainting can cause falls and injuries, adolescents and adults should be seated or lying down during HPV vaccination. Sitting or lying down for about 15 minutes after a vaccination can help prevent fainting and injuries.

What about vaccinating boys and men?

Gardasil was found to be safe and effective for males 9 -26 years. ACIP recommends routine vaccination of boys aged 11 or 12 years with 3-doses of Gardasil. The vaccination series can be started beginning at age 9 years. Vaccination is recommended for males aged 13 through 21 years who have not already been vaccinated or who have not received all 3 doses. The vaccine is most effective when given at younger ages; males aged 22 through 26 years may be vaccinated.

Killer, not?

和爱丽丝有了小小arguement，关于我们的killer lecturer。

任何人都希望自己的所有lecturer不会是killer，可以给到higher carry marks，每个subjects拿到good grades。所以在编排科目和选择班级上，都会避免killer lecturer。

可是有时候，我们别无选择，偏偏我们的lecturer就是所谓的killer。（前提是无法更换）

我当然也不例外。

回归正题，我和爱丽丝的争辩在于，我每次在killer class都可以拿到 A or A-。

她对我说：“你每次拿到A就说那个lecturer不是killer。你讲的不准”。

可是，对于killer，我有不同的看法。

对我来说，Killer就是怎么样都不会给grade A，摆明着：我要kill你，我会让你fail。

我只是 an average student， 爱翘课，上课没什么专心，也没有特别聪明，也没有和老师打关系。可是若不幸拿到killer lecturer的 class，我就会比较小心谨慎，在assignment quizzes和 mid term test上下苦工。

我几乎每个学期都很倒霉的拿到killer lecturer，还挺心惊胆跳。可是，越是killer，就越要更加努力读书，不是吗？

更何况，努力读书本来就是一个学生的本分！

既然我和其他course mates比较，比上不足比下有余。那么，我还能在killer class拿到 grade A。那么，这个大家所谓的killer怎么会是killer呢？

Killer整死你都来不及了，怎么还会好心给你一个大大的grade A？

也许，对其他的coursemates来说，刁钻，让你做多一些assignment,看着你的performance来打分数的lecturer=killer。那，你们的心态是不是有些不劳而获呢？

虽然，我们都希望不劳而获。

我们都希望我们的lecturer整天cancel class，打分数很宽松，最好在期末考给你一个A，哈哈，这就是一个超级好的lecturer。

可是遇到了，与其埋怨，一直blame killer，不如proof给其他coursemates看，killer并不kill，更好？

或许，我们都害怕遇到太过负责任的lecturer，所以把他们冠上killer名号。

言归正传，我们都是大学生，读书本来就是你的责任，不要以为随便读随便考就可以拿好成绩。不如做个又会玩又会读书的大学生，令别人刮目相看更好？

当然，我也遇到过真正的killer，给我没那么好的grade。 

不过，我一直想说，读书毕竟是你的责任，你付出过，才有资格评论killer不killer。

Night cat

Sleep at 5am everyday since couple few months ago. I feel so helpless :/

How to cure my insomnia! Whyyyyyyyyy

未来的事，就让未来去烦恼

心理学家做了个实验。

试验者每周日晚把下一周的烦恼写下来，投入烦恼箱，3周后打开箱子。结果超过90%的烦恼都没发生。

据统计，一般人的忧虑40%属于过去，50%属于未来，只有10%属于现在，而92%的忧虑从未发生过，剩下的8%则是能够轻易应付。

有着切身感受。

想到不到一年就毕业了，有莫名的压力和难受。

毕竟，社会大学的学分不容易修啊！

有一种前途茫茫的感觉，很无助。

想了很多可能性。

最坏的可能性是：未来得到了一份薪水微薄的工作，单身，供着小车，住着小房...日子...好像并没有太糟糕厚？

也有可能万一哪一天好运爆棚，财源滚滚来，桃花降临，那一切就不用忧虑了啊！啊哈哈哈哈哈（妄想中）

有谁可以断言呢？不过，未来的事，就让未来去烦恼吧！
