Lazy Bum

It has been 5 months since I graduated; man a lot has happened.
It is 5 months until my birthday; y'all better get shoppin

So my whole procrastinating for 2 weeks thing has kinda caught up to me. Not that I am super behind, but this weekend involved a lot more work than it should have. And I'm not even done yet. One more lecture and then I am 3/4 caught up. Woohoo?

Last night, Betsy, Meghan, Maureen (Betsy's sister), and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the Mizzou/Nebraska game. Betsy went to Mizzou, so I had to cheer for them. Thank goodness Mizzou blew Nebraska away by a lot, or else I think we could have been killed. That took about 3.5 hours. Should have been studying. Today I was on grocery duty. I did the recipes. JD did the staples. That took 2.5 hours. Should have been studying. We can blame my failure to be totally caught up on all of that. Workout on Saturday was awesome though. My abs hurt. I love that. On another workout note, I am pretty sure my foot needs to be in a boot. It hurts to walk even with my insoles in. Am I going to do anything about it? Of course I will.....I'll stop running so much. Doctor? Nope. Parents leave to visit the boys. Boys suck. I go to Seattle on Friday though. Wooohooooo.

TCBY vs ETHICS

Really tough choice. I know. Lets just guess for a second what I chose......yep. It comes back to that food vs nap thing. I kid. Ethics midterm tomorrow......we will see. I am not too worried about it.

I did lunges today for the first time in quite a few months (at least I think it has been that long). Not only could I tell my legs are weaker, but I got tired after about 7. Yeah. Fat kid. But my rear can really feel it now. Good thing? Bad thing? School today involved not much. Free pizza lunch. We got to look at the eye with our tools today. That was way fun. I totally saw Betsy's optic nerve; I may also have made her blind. Meh. I then came home and napped. Tonight also involved Grey's at Meghan's and TCBY. I felt like I was in undergrad again. It was glorious. Also, yes, Mom and Dad I feel bad about this, but I will call and talk about it in person tomorrow: I passed my practical!!!! Whoop whoop. We got it back on Wednesday, and I did much better than I thought I was going to. In fact, I did better on the practical than I did on the written. Whoop whoop!!!!! Okay, bed.

Making this short

Nothing much happened, but I felt like I should write. I actually got up and worked out. I feel much better. Went to one lecture simply because Dr. Quinn was giving it. Got a hard time from my friends for not going to lecture when I know full well that I got more done outside than I would have going. Didn't talk in ethics small group again because our MD said everything I wanted to say. Blah. I don't think my participation grade is very high in that class. CMDA (Christian medical and dental a______) tonight, which always always makes me feel better about school and life. Ordered pens online, yes, cuz I am a dork. I can never find the colored ones in the size (.5) I like in the store. So I turned to ebay. They are cheaper there too. Joe and I are in charge of breakfast for MCB small group tomorrow, and I got the juice and milk. I was going to get donut holes too, but apparently Bakers doesn't have them. I am irate about it. Okay, bed time.

Motivation? Have you seen him?

Lets see if this works. oooooooo it did. I promised I would put up pics of me and my white coat once I uploaded them. Taddaaaaa! So I have one of me and dad and me and mom. I had no friends at the time to take a pic of all three of us. sad. I look a little tubby in the one of me and mom. Hmmmmm. Well there all y'all go. Not much to say about those.


I meant to get up at 530 and go workout. 530 rolls around, i turn on my light. And fall back asleep. Until 730. Oooops. I say nuts to the first class and stroll into school at 845. I guess I really needed that extra sleep. I do feel much better rested today.

On the school front, I have lost any sort of motivation I ever had. It is really annoying. I try hard to get back into things, but it hasn't worked yet. I think it is due to the lack of working out. I am going tomorrow morning no matter what, so I will let you know how the focus is tomorrow.

Cali Taco this afternoon with the girls. Then TCBY (all do to Betsy and her bad influence). Then school to fake study. Ugh. Okay, back to fake studying.

Gotta love delays

As you can tell from my updating tonight, I don't really want to get back into that whole school thing. I have a lot of little school stuff to do this week (playing a little catch up). We also have our ethics midterm on Friday. I don't think I need to worry as long as I read and study. I'm an ethical person, right? I think my liberal arts education will come in handy on this one.

**Sigh** I hate weekends cuz they have to end. Lets do the bad first. I was supposed to leave Seattle at 1am and get in to Omaha at about 8. I was going to miss my first class. Boohoo. I get to security in Seattle, check my gate, and find that my flight has been delayed until 3am. UGH!!!! The plane we were taking was delayed out of somewhere else. Jerks. I, for the the first time in my life, kept my composure when talking to the agents about my connection. No tears. Yay Becky! They also gave me $10 worth of meal vouchers for the Minneapolis airport. Yay! Get in there at about 8:10, just about the time I was supposed to be getting into Omaha. Blah. Get to Omaha at about 11:30. To school by 12:15. To lab by 1. Blah. Long day thus far. To the fun stuff.

It took Matt and I over 1.5 hours to get from SeaTac to his place. Mexican for dinner and some boardwalk walking. It is definitely fall there. We then rented a movie, and I proceeded to fall asleep on the sofa while Matt showered. He wasn't too happy about that one. I also slept like crap that night due to my cough. Annoying. Matt's mom made us a gift basket with goodies in it. Mmmmmmm. Goodies. Saturday I made bacon and eggs. I am bad at cooking bacon, I always overdo it. We then drove to Seattle for some walking. The rain held out on us for the most part. We did some good people watching too. After some great directions from Annie, we made our way to KTO's. We all watched the Huskies for a bit and then went to dinner in Ballard (KTO was dropping us at Matt's car, which we parked at Paolo's in Ballard).

We watched VACANCY that night. Awful. Don't watch it. Matt and I have awful luck at picking out movies. Next time we are just going with one we know is good. Sunday involved football and napping, which, of course, got me in a little trouble. We did get Papa Murphy's though. That is about it. No, we aren't exciting people, but that is okay with us. When I go up in 12 days (don't judge), we are going to actually go out with Paolo and maybe do something exciting. Of course I don't have pics. That isn't how I role. Okay, time to be ethical!!

And I say nuts to that

So we have a quiz tomorrow...and I say nuts to that. Basically I am going to be at school for 30 minutes to take the quiz and then go home to pack. Flight is at 1212. Woohoooo. Matt got the wine glasses I sent him as a apartment warming present. He didn't have any and he is almost 24. I thought it a shame. Cups are okay for wine in Cheney, but on the westside of the state, you really need at least one wine glass.

Today proved just as unfruitful as the rest this week. I didn't study as much as I could have. I did get to dress up, white coat and all, and go over to the hospital to work on blood pressures. Now, when I did it on myself, it was super clear and easy to hear. When I did it on Gina, I couldn't tell a blessed thing. I could hear it better on Amber, but it still wasn't as clear as it was on mine. Could it be these massive guns I have? Possibly. All signs point to yes.

I was going to workout this morning, but I got out of bed at 530 feeling like a big piece of poop. I slept the extra hour instead and stopped at the store on the way to school for some OJ and airborne cold stuff. Feeling a little better now. I also wore new shoes over to the hospital, which means I know have blisters, which is going to make Seattle oh so much fun. Okay, I should at least pretend to learn about signaling of the cell cycle. Probably won't post until Monday or Tuesday.

Back to school

I took yesterday off to recover in more than one day. It was super nice to do nothing all day. Yes, I felt a little guilty but not terribly. I have a quiz on Friday. I have some catching up to do. I am not worried about the quiz (if I answered all of them wrong, it would only drop my grade 1%), but I don't want to get behind and have to cram before the next exam.

My mouth seems to have gotten me in a little trouble. Apparently (I already knew this), I talk a lot of s*** about basketball when I have had a few drinks. So I may have sort of challenged a fellow M1 (male)...and now the whole class knows about it somehow. We will see how this all plays out.

I am falling out of love with Note Service and in love with my cell book. I don't know what it is. The book is 100x more clear most of the time, and takes just as long to read in my opinion. Again, we will see how this goes.

I cooked dinner last night. Blue cheese chicken, spinach salad with bacon, and biscuits. I got great reviews. They asked me if I was from the south because of the kick butt gumbo (last time) and the from-scratch biscuits. I said no. Really, biscuits are the only thing I know how to make well, so why buy the pre-made when mine are so much better? Ugh, back to my book.
