Vacay

5 in the morning and I just woke up. Now that I'm vacationing, I can't even sleep in...stupid internal clock.

Now I'm hungry. I think I'll get me some pecan pie for breakfast.

Today will be a movie day. I get to use my movie gift card and hopefully spend most of the day in the theater...I'm thinking American Treasure: BOS and Sweeney Todd...just haven't been in the mood to see indie flicks lately...either that or I haven't seen any that has grabbed my attention. Damn you, American commercialism. Damn you, TV. J/K.

Now the rents are scurrying upstairs. Getting ready for work. Hmmm. I did that 2 years ago. Now I'm going to school so I can do that some more in the future. Now I'm depressed and hungry.

My Anatomy dissector is lying on the floor, waiting for me to notice it. I must really get some work done before I spend more money on gifts today and be a complete bum. Sad, really...

I changed my mind and picked oatmeal for breakfast instead.

Time off for good behavior

OK! 1st semester is OVER! I am officially 1/8th of a doctor. I'm so happy that I don't have to remediate any of my classes. Did well in some, did adequately on the others, but overall, I made it through and now it's on to the next hoop. That being said, the professors for next semester are clogging my school inbox with suggested reading material. The biggest worry so far is anatomy. We start on the dorsal section and already, the dissection is scheduled the first day we get to class. Nothing like starting the new year with cutting into an ex-person's back. Yum.

For now, I have the apartment to myself. Claudio's back @ Weehawken and I'm still dawdling around here in South Jersey. The solitude is kinda nice, especially if you don't have to study. I've been an absolute slug as of last Friday, after all the exams were taken. Sleep has never been more glorious, after I fixed the heating grate in my room. Now everything is toasty comfy! I have been catching up on a ton of non-medical reading like the last HP book. I bought a couple of DVD's on sale at Amazon and I got a free ticket for "The Golden Compass" which was very cool. Saw it tonight and I was impressed. Now I want to get the books as well. I brought my guitar from home so I've also been rocking out (badly) but that's ok. The neighbors don't mind. The chore of having to clean the apartment has fallen unto me since I was the last person out. And I intend to put it off some more...procrastination is a drug really...

And Christmas approaches. Things are looking light for this season. My work study program that I'm working for (Julia, you'll be happy to know that I am a librarian's assistant) has not paid me yet. BOOO! BOO-ERNS! Needless to say, I have put my shopping list aside. I'm praying my loan check comes soon...Presents will be forthcoming, just a tad late... =)

OK, off to make some food. Ciao.
