i have just been quite brutally reminded that i am totally inept when it comes to cervical HVLA. i’ve practiced going through the motions a million times, but today, when i was trying to crack william, i totally spaced and had to be prodded through the entire thing– without success.

and… we’ve started a new system: renal. it’s going to be 3 weeks of learning how we pee, pee-ing disorders, and how to treat the pee problems. tomorrow, i’m visiting a dialysis center — and i’ve been warned that the visit is heart-wrenchingly depressing. grreeeeeeeeeat.

…just not one that i’m stuck studying all day and stressing all night. i had a leisurely lunchy with steven and then studied with william all afternoon until dinner. tofu “booby” soup! afterwards, we went to get boba. i got rose tea with pudding. mmmmm. booby and boba. how obscene.

so the korean eating machine and i walked around life plaza for a while– mostly so i could take a picture of a sign that said “game bang”[you have to say it in a fobby asian voice]… but then the rain started again and we hurried back to the car.

tomorrow promises to be another light day– early morning classes, and then afternoon studying. someone should visit me. i can cook.

today is not a good day. early morning long, arduous, painful exam, afternoon lunch rush, parking ticket. poop. at least william and i got donations for the AOA convention fundraising raffle. i wish i could keep them for myself. free food=good.

school is poop.

i feel like pumpkin pie.

i have the best boyfriend in the whole wide world.

it’s pouring outside, the wind is howling, and my car is still mildly dirty.

i need a functional fireplace, two cups of hot tea/cocoa/whatever, & socks.

school is poop.

it’s by a happy poppy boy [named ryan! hahahahaha] … it’s too bad i don’t like any of his other songs.

Sick and tired of this world
There’s no more air
Tripping over myself, going nowhere
Waiting, suffocating, no direction
I took a dive and

On the way down
I saw you, and you saved me from myself
And I won’t forget the way you loved me
And on the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held on to you

Been wondering why it’s only me
Have you always been inside waiting to breathe
It’s alright, sunlight on my face
I wake up and yet, I’m alive ‘cuz

On the way down
I saw you, and you saved me from myself
And I won’t forget the way you loved me
And on the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held on to you

I was so afraid of going under
But now, the weight of the world
Feels like nothing, no nothing
(down, down, down)
You’re all I wanted
(down, down, down)
You’re all I needed
(down, down, down)
You’re all I wanted
You’re all I needed

And I won’t forget the way you loved me
All that I wanted, all that I needed now

yesterday’s omm test went well– i accidently forgot the squat and the toe touch, and accidently did anterior lumbar counterstrain instead of anterior pelvis, and rambled through my synthesis question, but i ended up with enough time to fix everything and i got a 98/100. woo hoo!

steven and i spent the afternoon studying cardio at ten ren, and then i went out downtown disney with the mom and the ryan. i bought bath bombs from basin! woo hoo! we had dinner at the uva bar and wandered around for the rest of the evening listening to the live music and watching the people dance.

cardio exam on monday. time to study.
