learning with a smile

I'm sitting in starbucks (the Office) and I'm watching some people speak in sign language... not sure which are deaf and which are hearing, but two just showed another a new sign.

It's just really cool to watch three people communicate, and with huge smiles on their faces, teach someone a brand-new word.

I love seeing things that I don't normally get to see.

I wish someone would teach me a new word... :)

Bob, it's Erin. I am procrastinating by reading your blog when I should be studying for my Blood exam on wednesday. I randomly flipped to a page in my notes and found a word: alloantibody.

It means an antibody (those little proteins that attack foreign invaders in our bodies) that mistakenly attacks our own cells, causing mucho problems. There you go.
