Tuesday, May 12

I'd say more of a B+

I recap for you the past day starting May 11 at 6 am when my day started and progressing to now, tuesday night- because I am pretty sure if you sleep less than 6 hours it is still considered one day.

Actually shits kinda a blurr, I know I woke up early and studied clinical lab med- no wait wait- ok.... got those marbles back in their jar
5:45am alarm- too early even for renee and steve- set it to "morning mix" dream machine style and headed over the pool, knowing the day would be unbarible without exercise and that the later hours that I would long to spend in the gym or on the trails would be consumed by a workout more mental in nature- though with so many classes and tests in one day, just the trip to the car and to school was a arm workout- watch out Michelle O'bama.
7:30 am, made it to school to get down some coag. and dive right into Physiology lecture, followed by epidemiology, in which I got down some anticoag.
12:00 noon, lunch time, I wrapped up my MAARIE review of the article for med lit... speaking of med lit...
1:00 rousing discussion about the immigrants and health insurance article that was still smoking in my hands, fresh of the press
2:30 pm didnt know what to do for my 2 hour break before the Clinical lab midterm
4:30 pm "YOU DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO SO YOU WENT HOME AND BAKED COOKIES" its true. I went home and baked "Duh, what did you do... STUDY?" ha. I love tracie.
Adam is scribbling all over the chalk board, and writes "epidemiology- save" above it all- hoping to fool scariano to leave it up. Without even acknowledging it, scariano erases it and starts to make is best effort to draw a nephron, and turns around and says I am terrible at this... Lindsey fox volunteers me to draw it for him... I do-
But instead of drawing the glomerulous I draw a flower.
ha!
midterm, eh. Lecture- what?
7:15 candice and I take off to whole foods, grab uh 35 dollars worth of premade deliciousness and snacks and spend the next four hours in UNM library. and that is when I discoverd.. Yerba Matae. Best caffine drug ever.
11:30 make it home. and start work on my spin plan for the class I am subbing, knowing it is going to be a packed class, accustomed to Gary's style, I want my mix to be perfect and well prepared so I can be confident tomorrow. Small anxiety attack- nothing a good peptalk in the mirror couldnt calm for the moment
1:00 am sucumb to the pull of my down comfortors, though not for long. Anxiety clamed my restful Z's and replaced them with a sore jaw from clenching all night and restless legs- hey- it made getting out of bed easier...
6:00 back up and going- hit the ground running
6:30 walmart for some flashcards and snacks
6:45 outside with the warm calm sun and a clear mind and clear table. power through the cardiovascular system, peripheral vascular, abdomen, and thorax
8:30 check in for work open the library, organize the books, and redo the card catalogue sorting system
10:00 am ethics... internet.
12:00 dash to the post office to send of my half.com sale (clutch- later gates!)
1:00 back and in business- getting my murmers and heart sounds down- thank god for bri.
1:15 our leader still hasnt shown up for CPSS- so our group of 5 quizzes eachother somemore before laura comes and completes our case
3:00 Clinical Assessment Midterm- thank god no lecture to follow
5:00 SPIN CLASS- woot woot, IPOD worked, and it was a success!
7:00 out door pool at YMCA is open and I catch the last half hour of laps
8:00 over to Bri's to get down patho phys for tomorrow mornings test. I'll finish my annotated bibliography during ethincs I hope.

Alex is in new mexico- he is picking up a liver. How awsome is that. He also reported how brilliant he was- but the thing is I already knew. I called up a classmate who is in the know with all that happens at UNM, and she gave me the scoop on where to go and who to talk to in order to get in and catch him for that minute during hand off- but alas... foiled as he went to silver city.... oye vey.

Home now and tuckered the fuckerd out. But this is what I do. I will sleep when I die. And I am happy to be exhausted and overwhelmed- biting off more than I can chew and doing my best to swallow. Doing my best to keep things in perspective of what makes me happy, I wont end up with the best test scores... but I am handling being a TA, a PA student, training for a marathon, teaching spin courses, making fabulous meals, writing letters, sending packages, Blog, read,developing relationships, and matching my clothing- what more do you want of me. 4.0? top 10 percentile? not going to happen. I'll take the B+
