It's a brand new day!

Thanks for the words of encouragement!  It's a new day and I am feeling much better.  I treated myself to a massage this morning (I love living around the corner from the massage school) and now I am ready to tackle the day! 

Counting down the days

3 more study days until I meet my fate.  Tuesday morning at 8:00 am I take the boards.  I don't feel prepared, but I am not such a feeling is even possible.  

The last few days have been rough.  I am totally burned out and I feel like I can't learn anymore.  I have a constant headache, I can't sleep, and today I have an upset stomach.  I hope this all goes away and I am good as new as soon as the test is over.  

Wish me luck!

Once the test is over, I have 5 days of freedom until school starts.  In this time, I pretty much have no free time.

Wednesday I am meeting with one of my friends who is a year ahead of me in school at 8 am so that she can teach me to suture.  Then, at 12:30 I have a hair appointment (Amber, I am going to tell you now, its not going to be pretty) and then at 7:00 pm I have a bridal shower for a friend.

Thursday: I am attending a birthday dinner in my honor

Friday: nothing...yet

Saturday my friend mentioned about is getting married

Sunday: orientation for school

All the while, my parents are out of town visiting Jason in Phili so I am driving to and from their house to feed and take care of my cat!  AWESOME!  

Cabin Fever!

I am officially 2 weeks into board study!  Three weeks from Tuesday is the big day!  I am scared and excited at the same time.  I am shocked (and pleasantly surprised) at how much I actually remember!!!  Anyway, my days consist of studying 10-12 hours a day.  Awesome huh?  I study at home all by myself and I am getting to the point the sight of my kitchen table gives me PTSD.  Next week I am going to try for a change of scenery...perhaps the city library or somewhere in the school of medicine.  I have tried my parent's house, but it wasn't much better.  

I must say though, the gloomy weather has made it a little better.  I am sorry to all of those who are wishing the sun would come out and stay, but at least when its cloudy I don't feel like I am missing out so much!

This morning while checking my facebook page (I am living vicariously through others) I got a slap in the face courtesy of my brother Sean.  His update said, "Sean Mackintosh is going to Buenos Aires for the weekend."  WHAT???  Must be nice huh?  You wake up in the morning and think, "Maybe I will jet down to South America for the weekend."  I AM GOING INTO THE WRONG PROFESSION!!!  :)  I guess that is one of the perks of doing your internship with an airline.  

This post is totally random I know....

Tuesday night my friend Megan and I decided we needed to let off a little steam so we went for a LONG walk through memory grove and city creek canyon.  We started around 6:30 and at about 7:45 we were on 11th avenue walking along when it started to sprinkle.  I said, "uh oh it looks like it might rain."  The sprinkling continued until we were on F street and 11th ave (I live on F street between 1st and 2nd ave) and pretty much as soon as we turned the corner it started to POUR!!!  We both looked at each other.  It was inevitable, we were going to be soaked by the time we got home.  10 blocks (sprinting) later we were in my house.  Our shoes were full of water and I looked like I had just stepped out of the shower.  I LOVED IT!  I was in such a good mood when we got home.  I am not really sure why.  Maybe because I actually got to interact with someone and be outside...who knows, but it was probably the highlight of my week!  

Enough ramblings for today...UPDATE YOUR BLOGS!!!  I like to know what you are doing while I am reading about disorders, drugs, and diarrhea :)
