i showed up for lecture this morning just to find out that the professor had decided to give us a handout to read instead. poop. i could have stayed home all morning. lunchy was provided by kaplan– they’re pushing their review courses and internet question database for the upcoming boards… for hundreds and hundreds of dollars. suprisingly, a large number of people signed up on the spot. i, however, have to figure out how i want to study. is it worth $500+ and my time to sit through 8 days of class, or should i just get the $250 question bank to practice with? it’s like MCAT training all over again… just more expensive and more brutal.

annie came over this afternoon again to study and eat…. and maybe do laundry [prolly not]. for dinner, we went back to the carribean restaurant for more plantains and jamaican jerk chicken. mmmm. i have the leftovers stashed away for lunchy tomorrow.

annie’s back studying again, and i’m feeling a little bit dizzy. perhaps its the tea. or fatigue. or food coma.

i’m tired, i swear i am, but it’s 1am and i’m not sleeping. microbiology is staring at me, waiting to be read, but it’s just one big blur. and it’s a school night. tomorrow promises to be painful.

oh, and my fishies had babies. black ones, orange ones, none the size of your head. let’s just hope they don’t get eaten.

annie came over wednesday night to hang out and work on secondaries… so of course, we went out to dinner. everything was going great until…. we started talking about the giant 4ft grey mystery bunny. then all hell broke loose. i laughed so hard that i fell over and disappeared underneath the table and got up with my back and my side hurting. who knew a 4 second hallucination could bring so much joy after all these years?

we spent the next day sitting in my living room drinking tea [poor, sick annie poopy], eating jelly bellies, and studying. well, i studied. annie wrote and wrote and wrote and stopped every once in a while to read her prose.

friday night the mom, annie, ryan, and i went out for dinner and drinks. i drank about half my mojito, came home, and promptly fell asleep. to my defense, it had been a long day– i took a tortuous renal final that afternoon and wound up with a headache.

by saturday, i had managed to give away the bulk of what i had collected at the AOA convention. i mean, who needs a box full of children’s meds, allergy tabs, and calcium? i kept the chapstick and the analgesics. i’m not sure why.

this morning, the mom and i made our way to target to spend my birthday gift certificate from bac dam. i am now the owner of a bright blue, brand spankin’ new, space-savin’ brita water filter jug thing. i finally broke down and bought it so annie and could have tea by the gallon without breaking open 15 little water bottles at a time. it’ll be quite useful this weekend. fresh sashimi and tea!!!

and tonight- ryan came over again! woo hoo! i put my studies on hold while we goofed off and babbled about naming our future pug “thug”. i still think it should be Earl. or Arf. i want to see a bunch of my family members running around the backyard yelling “arf! arf! arf!”. lol.

it’s quiet again, now, though.
