The week is going pretty well so far. On Sunday, I went out to dinner with my brother and sister. My mom was out of town, and they had basically been eating out every day instead of cooking, so we continued the tradition and went to IHOP. My brother got a last minute invitation to a concert at the 9:30 club, so he left for that, and I convinced my ( Read more... )

It seems that a lot of my friends on livejournal post lists of all the shit they have going on when they get stressed out. This strikes me as an excellent idea. Behold ( Read more... )

I somehow sat on a blueberry last night and squished it all over my jeans and my white couch. It might have been the most ludicrous thing I've ever done! It left a stain that looked like a face from an Edvard Munch painting, which was a little creepy, to say the least. Luckily I was able to get it out with Oxi-Clean. Thanks Billy Mayes!

Okay, so here I am at work, there's no dictation to do, and I am crazy bored. So I stole a survey from Alia. However, please note that I omitted all the emo high school questions that don't apply to a grown-ass woman. ( bored bored bored )

I guess it's been awhile since I've updated, but (as per usual) I've been crazy busy. I made it through my week-from-hell okay. Everything that was supposed to get done got done, I left Thursday afternoon for my church retreat, and I got back Sunday night. The retreat was really fun! It was all women, the food was really good, and I met some really ( Read more... )

Now that spring break is fast approaching, my schedule is getting a little stressful and hectic. Because I started my preceptorship late (due to the school giving me the contact information late, and then the contact lady being out of the office for a week), there was no chance I was going to be able to do 112 hours by March 1. However, my ( Read more... )

Yesterday was pretty much the most productive day ever. I went into the hospital for four hours, took that stupid computer competency test that I needed to graduate, voted in the Virginia primary, used my DSW giftcard, went grocery shopping, and studied for my test on Thursday. Yay! However, since I only did four hours for my preceptorship ( Read more... )

I really can't wait until I graduate, get a real job, and don't have to tutor anymore to augment my income. Don't get me wrong; I love all the kids that I tutor (yes, even the insane ones), and really wish them the best, academically and otherwise, but I just can't take this grueling schedule/emotional drainage for much longer. I think it would ( Read more... )

Since I didn't work Wednesday, I took my car to the mechanic to have the turn signal fixed. I also mentioned to the guy that the low coolant light had been coming on so the car probably needed some more antifreeze. I left him the keys and walked to my mom's house. He proceeded to call me back shortly thereafter with some bad news: the car didn't ( Read more... )

Saturday was an interesting day. I desperately needed to get my tetanus/diptheria booster updated, since apparently my last one expired in July of 2007 but no one at school noticed (thankfully). At the first urgent care I went to, the doctor wasn't going to be in until 2:00pm. The second one was able to take me right away, but charged me $180. I ( Read more... )
