blah-dom
I wish I had something fun and/or exciting to put here!!! But, all I've done for the last few days is study... which doesn't make for very exciting journal updates.
Things are going here. I've got my OMM exam on Wednesday and then PBL next Monday... neither of which I'm looking forward too. I have a really bad feeling about the PBL one... and it's still a week away. :(
Hmm... oh, I saw a secret service agent, yesterday! Pretty neat, huh? I didn't see the president though. I ran away before he got to Erie b/c they were closing down my street to cars AND people, so I wouldn't have even been allowed to go outside during the visit... and there was NO WAY I could have stayed inside my apartment all day long. I did, however, get to see the B&N twins instead... and their topiary hats entertained me much more than the president probably would have... the skirts helped too. :)
About the B&N twins... I know I've mentioned them before, but I don't know if I've ever described them. They are two older, flamboyant, obviously gay men--Jesse and Ricardo. They dress exactly the same. They make most of their own clothes, and they know that no outfit is complete without accessories... the most important of those being the hat. The topiary hat is among my favorities, but there are also the skull caps w/fake dreadlocks, large blue sombreros w/fish attached, cat-in-the-hat-esque tophats, and other random headgear. They also ride a tandem bike around town, all year long. The are almost always at B&N arguing over the pronuciation of various French words ("no, no, NO! It's 'je SUIS' not JE suis"). Always, always entertaining... the best part is when you see someone who has never seen them before do a double take. So, now you know what I'm talking about when I mention the B&N twins.
I had an entertaining conversation w/my parents today: "So, do you know what happens to baked potatoes when you forget to poke holes in them?"-Mom, "No, what?"-Me "They explode"-Mom, "Really? How do you know that?"-Me "Well... um..."-Mom "Let's just say we made baked potato suprise... boy were we suprised"-Dad
Oh... I will NOT be moving to Florida next year b/c there are no hospitals in Florida that are accepting LECOM students. It looks like I'll be heading back to Michigan. Right now, I'm looking at St. Joseph's Mercy of Macomb. If anyone knows anything about the area (I think it's kinda by you, MB) or the hospital, please let me know!
I also need to stick this in here, as I'm changing my AOL profile and I think this needs to be immortalized. :)
The 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon--Amanda Style!

I'm off to do more studying... have a good night!
