misadventures/missed adventures
i stole that from my brother, btw.
life has been....perplexing lately. i've been doing sealants in the cleveland public schools the past week and a half. i'm actually enjoying it - i never thought i would like working with kids, but the second graders are just so cute. the boys are much harder to work with, they don't listen as well (like they'll close up their mouth on your fingers if you aren't CONSTANTLY telling them to stay open), but the girls are pretty good. i'm definitely learning a ton and getting really good at my diagnostic skills. it feels good to be doing real dentist things.
brenda was here this weekend, it was SO AWESOME to have a friend here from home. we went to the Doc Opera put on by the Case med school. It's like mock-rock, but they actually change the words to songs to make them about med school and then sing and dance to them. it was hilarious! my personal favorites were "my scrubs" to the tune of JT's "my love" and "neoprene gloves" in place of "seasons of love." amazing. then we went out to coventry and had food/drink at the winking lizard. had a really random moment with some guy there, but the beer was good and the company even better.
mom and dad had bear put to sleep yesterday. i am sad, but also know it was for the best. he was old and suffering. i know he had a long, good, happy life, and that makes me feel okay about everything. but i'll still miss him alot :(
this week is looking to be pretty promising. dinner with my PBL group tomorrow night, dinner with my med school friend thursday, hockey game with the same friend on friday night. at least, if everything goes according to plan it should be a great rest-of-the-week. but lord knows what happens every time i make plans....
i had something meaningful to write. livejournal makes me feel so shallow sometimes. all i ever do it post about my life and my day-to-day happenings. nothing deep and insightful about my life. but really, with 95 people listing me as their friend, it's probably for the best.
over and out.
