P is still for Procrastination

Ha!  I thought it was somewhat funny (in a sadnotreallyfunny) sort of way...my last post was about my issues with staying on task with studying, and several months later...still!  I am writing this blog post, with a GIGANTOUS pathophysiology book in front of me.  Alterations of Thyroid Function does not apparently hold my attention.  I wonder if thats a disorder listed in the book? Hypothyroattention Deficit? Sorry. That was geeky.

So kids, what's new?

Nothing too much new here....I will try to list some "interesting" things in the life of this here blogger.  Sorry for no pictures in this post.  BUT, i will be going on vacation in a few weeks, and promise to take pictures for you then.  well, maybe.  we'll see.

Newish thing #1 - Managed to get my schooling paid for!  Well, it's more like indentured servitude...where my trip across the atlantic to the new land is my paid for schooling, and my indentured servitude is paid work for the 2 yrs after school for their company.  I am optimistic though...their IT area was just voted one of computerworld's best places to work, so i'm hoping that a company with good IT has good other things too. :)  In any case, it is a load off of our minds to worry a little less about how this here adventure will be financed.

Newish thing #2 - I finished procrastinating after that last blog post, turned in my paper, and then went on to get an A in the class.  Which was a freaking miracle...but i guess miracles can happen.  Right now I'm hoping for another miracle - a B in my current class.  Online pathophysiology.  YIKES.  We are plowing through like 4 giant chapters each week.  I should have believed them when they said to plan on 15-20 hrs a week spent on the material.  Guess it's good practice for the coming year!!

Newish thing #3 - i discovered white cheddar popcorn powder at the grocery store, which is pretty similar to the really really really ridiculously awesome popcorn seasoning dispensers at the local AMC.  YUM.

Newish thing #4 - turned in my resignation today...i'm giving them a month's notice & then taking a week for myself before the starting of The Education.  That's what we'll call nursing school from here on out.

i'm sure there are more newish things, but they don't particularly come to mind.  it's kindof funny that white cheddar popcorn powder takes precedence over other potentially more earth shattering things.  You know, like how i achieved world peace, or ended hunger.  Oh, wait.

In other news...if you look up hypothyroidism on you-tube, you find some really funny videos of medical students trying to entertain themselves. One of them was of a vet school group educating people about hyperthyroidism in animals to the tune of Usher's OMG.  I got a good laugh out of that one!  Didnt learn much tho...you know, cuz i'm studying PEOPLE and not DOGS.  not that I dont love dogs...

Sigh...back to patho.

Peace!
