Come on, Baby, light my fire...
Look out world, I think I'm making an LJ comeback! This has to be some kind of record for me...I've updated twice this week and it's only Wednesday...that's more than I updated ALL summer!!!
Much like when I was a Cali girl, I'm going to be using this as an outlet -- and it's very important that I have some way to vent/unwind seeing as how I'm pretty much marooned here in Philly and unable to regularly chat with my usual dudes and dudettes (because, let's face it, I hold a much different schedule than the typical college girl!).
Uugggggh! I want to scream. Because one of my "brilliant" lab partners thinks it is necessary to breathe his germy air on me while I'm trying to complete a delicate dissection, I am now beginning to get sick. This blows. I never get sick...but when I do, I can definitely tell. My sinuses are really bothering me - they're itchy, scratchy, and just plain raw. It feels like I need to get the humidifier cranking, but I know that won't help. This is just swell, too, because my first exam is a week from Friday (9/2). I can't get sick now...this is just NOT a good time. Maybe I should go see one of the OMM Fellows...I have a terrible stiff neck, too, and I think I could use some adjustment/therapy.
The other thing that's starting to get on my nerves about school (which really isn't a big deal, but is to me right now because I don't feel well) is the scruffy v. shaven look. Most of you know my position on this popular issue...scruffy is always better...well, ALMOST always. Here's a hint guys... If your facial hair only grows in random patches...DON'T SPORT THE SCRUFFY LOOK. Or, if (after 3 or 4 days) it STILL looks like you just spilled a pepper shaker all over your face...DON'T SPORT THE SCRUFFY LOOK. Seriously. Where are the women in these guys' lives??? Who is letting them leave their houses in the morning??? Now, I'm sure you all know what I have to say about the scruff...hell, I've even had conversations with some of you about it. Scruff (what I used to call "pine needles" when I was a little girl and my daddy/uncle/pa skipped a day of shaving) is SEXY....VERY SEXY. But only if worn correctly. First of all, you must be able to grow some decent 'peach fuzz' ...meaning length and density. Second, if you're whiter than Casper you really need to find a different fashion statement to make ...darker complexions make it much easier to pull off the occasional bare patch. Sorry for all this ranting and raving, but there's this guy in my anatomy lab and (for the first time in my quasi-adult life) I feel like I need to buy him a razor because looking at his hideous scruff is making me sick! Again, I know this is extremely insignificant, but I'm feeling icky and cranky and I can't help it. And my first histology quiz is tomorrow morning...and I'm starting to stress (and grind my teeth unknowingly).
I guess I should go make dinner before I starve to death. God bless the inventor of the laptop!!!
