Home Safe But Going Crazy!

When I got home last night, I was so excited to see my family that my mum could have told me pretty much anything and I would have accepted it regardless of what she said. Luckily what she said was music to my very exhausted ears.

She had made an appointment for me to have a facial and pedicure with the local beautician who can honestly work miracles.

Something about lying on that bed, with her well chosen (especially for a Carolinian) collection of classical music and the calming smells of soaps, creams and other pampering materials really works for me. There is nothing quite like a facial to help a girl get over the stress of exams.

I was so excited in fact that I nearly missed the part about my mom telling me that I also had an appointment with the 'SCIO woman'.

For those of you who don't know SCIO is one of the latest pseudo (voodoo) sciences that allows someone with a bachelors degree in Science to make important medical decisions. To say that I was skeptical would be a massive understatement.

Basically what she does is hook you up to some machine that sends electrical impulses through your body and her computer then tells her all these super cool things about your mental, emotional and physical well-being.

Well, 5 minutes in and I was balling my eyes out and telling her my life's story. Seems her little machine could pick up better on my emotions than I could and the things she said seemed to ring true for me.

Now, I am well aware that it could be a scam and if it is well, then I'm a major sucker but the fact of the matter is that I don't really care whether it was a scam or not because it was true for me. And while I am more than one hundred percent certain that some of it is guess work there is just no denying that that woman knew her stuff.

So what's next? Am I suddenly going to start a religion and lose my mind? Well no. It isn't that kind of voodoo science and I was not that impressed that I intend to dedicate my life to it.

I was impressed by it even though my mind was rather opposed to the idea and if that has taught me anything it is that in future I need to ensure that I maintain an open mind even when dealing with something I don't actually believe in.

Also, maybe she can SCIO me into being a wizard, because being a muggle is getting boring.
