breathe in, breathe out, move on...

This past week has been hell. There's no other way to describe it. First the phys test was a real booger, although I left it feeling better than I expected. Got that grade back today too, it was my second-highest test grade this semester. Whoop whoop! And then Thursday we had histo. Ugh. I studied with M for 12 hours. 12 HOURS. I felt good, I felt confident, and I really thought I knew that stuff... Yeah, you can see where this is going, right? Well, I have never in my life walked out of a test feeling like that. I don't even know how to describe it... disappointed in myself, completely freaked out, and more than slightly mad at the teacher for making that test 100000000000000000x more difficult than it needed to be or SHOULD have been. And after that, the stress was multiplied about a thousandfold for doing well on the histo board that was this morning. Thankfully I feel ok about that one... no thanks to my actual course in histology, but because of my biochem classes from State. I always knew I'd love my major. :)

After the test things got better though. Went to Keifers for lunch with the best M1 girls and our favorite grad student ever. It was yummy and delicious as Keifers always is, and we had an awesome time talking and laughing and celebrating that pointless class being "histo-ry" as I heard someone call it... It was kind of funny too, since we ended up with a group about our size of 30-somethings on one side of us and another group of 50 to 60-somethings on the other side. We decided it was a peak into our future lives, both 10 years from now and 30 years from now. If I still have such amazing friends at that point in my life, I'll be doing great!

Now I'm just sitting at the house trying to get the mental energy to catch up on phys and genetics before those tests. And I'm mentally planning my wardrobe for Spring Break. I so cannot wait. This year it couldn't come at a better time.

12 DAYS TIL I'M CRUISING!!!!

  1. I think you summed up the week quite eloquently. The groups of women on either side of us at keifer's was just priceless... looking into the future.. haha.
    A) You'll still have such amazing friends, because you're never getting rid of us
    B) We're about to kick some genetics and phys butt
    C) You BETTER have enough fun on the cruise for both of us :p
