Riding in the rain

When I left Georgetown from class, it was drizzling heavily. I tried walking and talking on my cell with my umbrella up and leading my bike. Unfortunately I was at least 1 hand short for that, so it didn't last very long. I decided the best thing to do would be ride my bike home. Faster so it might have worked to keep me less wet. I arrived home completely sopped, but I throughly enjoyed it. It felt fantastic to be completely soaking as I powered up the hill home. I can sincerely reccomend it. For a short journey anyway!

The doctor says I am not sick enough. . .

When I woke up this morning with pain in both ears in addition to the other sick, I decided that maybe a trip to the doctor could be warranted. Guess what he told me to do? Wait! For the length I was thinking (until around Friday) then if not getting better start taking the prescription he gave me. I could have done that! Geez louise! At least he didn't make me come back in again to write it. I only have to come back if I don't get better after the antibiotics. The bummer is if the whole thing is viral, the antibiotics won't help anyway! Cross your fingers and pray.

The cold optimist

Since I have had a sore throat for almost a week I thought that when to whole thing developed into an actual cold/sinus infection this weekend, the whole thing would end quickly. Obviously. This morning I was proven completely wrong. Well, we can only hope for the best. Ironically from the girl who is constantly trying to talk all her doctor-phobic friends into going to see the doctor more often, I keep trying to get away with letting the cold incubate and end on its own. I firmly believe in letting the immune system fight (when its reasonable) and not over using antibiotics... however it may be coming to that time.

On other notes, Samantha finally started "teaching" yesterday (actually only observed) and met her kids. I asked her how she felt about it, whether she thought they would be a good bunch. She is still crossing her fingers. After all, every class, even the terrifying ones, start out being good.

Internet at last!

We still can't control the tv with the universal remote and Samantha lost the original. There are worse things I suppose. Hurrah for communication.

Ah, a simpler life

I long for it. Oh well. More to do, less decisions. Haha, I want to be a doctor? you say. Well, I just hate facing choosing work decisions. I can do the other. Oh well.

No, I didn't fall into a hole

I just have spent the last few days moving alot of stuff and keeping up with my MCAT class. Needless to say, not having internet at Samantha and I's apartment really bites. I miss being available and online most all the time. Especially to get distracted and play silly games. Though moving in to a new apartment is just as distracting, I must admit. Today I sorted out a huge chunk of the kitchen, trying to find room for Sam and my stuff. Which shouldn't be a problem . . . .but apparently not only do we both like to cook (and have the stuff to prove it), I love to buy food, even when I take a while to go through it. Luckily for me it doesn't have to be the eating (although I love to eat!). I just really like grocery shopping too. Urg. Canned goods have not yet found a home in the kitchen. Its getting a bit squeezy for sure!

As soon as I actually remember my own address (its new, ok) I will send out an email with that so you can send lovely housewarming cards or just consent to look at the pictures online, which I will be so excited to share soon.

On a happy note, I end. MCAT prep is going really, really well. My practice test on Saturday went swimmingly and I am really pleased with the strides I have been making for sure. Now if I can continue and completely blow them out of the water!
