Nap Time

I think I have a problem...I keep taking naps during the day. And, it's not just a 20-30 minute nap. It's more like a 3-4 hour nap. Yikes! My naps are waaay better than the sleep I get at night. I fall asleep faster and I don't wake up in the middle of it. It's beautiful. Don't you wish you could take naps like me?

The Shape of Things

If only my posts are this funny.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!

Dead Appliances

My dvd player and fan died. They're not working anymore. Sadness. It's probably because I have my fan on all the time 'cause I'm always hot even if it's winter. I blame the dorm heat gods---I wouldn't have to have my fan on all the time if the heat wasn't on so high that I have to wear shorts and a tank top indoors during winter. But, now that it's spring and the weather is warmer for Illinois standards, I'm extra hot. In more ways than one might I add. So, this leaves me sweaty and gross...and wanting to sit bra-less in an air conditioned library where I can't even watch any of my dvds over and over again. Not that I would do that in my room 'cause my dvd player isn't working either. Gah!

Gee's Baby or Insomnia Part II

I finally figured out what to post during this night of insomnia. Last weekend my friend Gee had her baby---a lil' Chinese-Latina baby girl named Makayla. I think it means "Gift from God." But, yeah, I got to hold the baby that Gee basically just pooped out. And, for a just pooped out baby, she was really, really cute. She sneezed and it's probably the only time in a person's life that a sneeze is cute and doesn't scream I have a contagious disease get away from me! Again, I heart babies as long as they're not mine.

Insomnia

Freakin' a. I can't sleep. I was sleepy at 10:30 p.m. and then I slept for a good 5 minutes and woke up. Grr. Now, I don't know what to do again 'cause everyone's sleeping. Boo med school peeps boo.

My Brain Hurts

Physio exam 3 is finally over and I'm FREE to do whatever!!! Well, at least for today. Things in my mind after a physio exam:

1. Should I go and buy shoes?
2. I'm kinda sleepy, but I slept early last night. Should I take a nap?
3. I'm kinda hungry.
4. It's Holy Thursday. Hrm..how to be holy?
5. I don't know what to do now!
6. My blog needs better entries...really.

Puerto Villarta Jungle Pictures

Kim and I went to a cruise to Mexico last spring break and Puerto Villarta was one of our stops. We went to the jungle. Yeah, if you know me, I would never sign up to go do an "outdoor experience." But, I really didn't know what I was signing up for...Here are some pictures to prove that I really did do some nature stuff. Now that I am still alive, I can look back and say that it was fun. But, if you asked me while I was in the jungle, I probably would've told you differently.

Here's Kim riding a mule. We had to ride a mule up a mountain. Everyone knows that I swore off riding horses or any animals like horses, but I didn't know that this was part of the "outdoor experience."

After we rode mules up a mountain, we had to go down the mountain. First, we had to zip line down the jungle....see Kim looks like she's having fun. Yay.

I got stuck. They told me not to grip the rope and just "glide," but if a gorge was right underneath you, you'd grip the rope too. Okaaay. They told me if I got stuck to pull myself backwards, but I don't have any upper body strength, so this guy Gabriel had to go get me. Scary.

The second way to get down the jungle was rappeling down waterfalls. This is me trying not to freak out --->

This is me slipping while rappeling down our second waterfall. I mean really, wasn't one waterfall enough "outdoor experience" for ppl?

Yay!!! We are still alive!

I can now check this off my been there done that list:

Ride a mule. Check.

Zip line through a jungle. Check.

Rappel down waterfalls. Check.

Disoriented

I woke up this morning thinking it's Friday and I missed my 7:30 am exam. I really hate it when that happens. First I gasp, then my heart starts pounding, then I have to think what the hell is today?! How can I turn off my alarm without hearing it?! Then, I have to think what yesterday was to figure out what today is and then I just give up and check a calendar. Whew! Thank goodness today is Thursday.

Frump Day

Okay I am so stealing this idea from the Cheese. Sorry Cheese. Illinois has sucked all the creativity and sarcasm outta me.

Highlights of the day:

1. I got Dr. Kappler for the OMM practical this morning. (He's like a grandpa and I don't think he fails anyone)

2. I worked out! 4 miles today. That's almost one whole hand. For some ppl that's 2 minus the number of toes they have on one foot. And, it's not me.

3. I'm gonna see mah girls tonight. Girls-night-in and we could go frumpy YAY.

4. It's almost summer break! 6 weeks left.

5. I'm actually posting in my pitiful and ignored blog.

Lowlights of the day:

1. I took a 2 hour nap. Okay, it's more like sleep, but I call it a nap.

2. I'm gonna see mah girls tonight and I have a test Friday, Monday and next Thursday. Boo.

3. I ate a Potbelly sandwich for lunch and I said I wasn't gonna go out and buy food anymore, but I ran out of food in my place.

4. I am purposely not reading physio right now.

5. I am purposely not reading any ICM (Intro to Clinical Med) right now.

6. I am stuck in med school. Why? Why? WHY?
