Mouth Malfunction

I was a bit tired and worn out ...feeling frazzled today but I had to work and do a great job. So, I was telling a table full of male customers about the sandwich special. The one of the men repeated what he thought I said," What's a lucky Buddha roll special?" I could only look at him and laugh.

I then proceeded to apologize. In my tired state I realized I was speaking way too quickly and not enunciating my words. In fact, once mentioned I realized I felt like I had a bag of marbles in my mouth. The lunch special was pastrami on rye with swiss...how he got a lucky Buddha roll special I'll never know. I just know I need to get some rest, and the rest, as they say, will take care of its' self.

Over Studying

Is there such a crime, if so I think I committed it. My brain feels like it has been swimming in a shark tank for the last few days. One moment I think I have the answers all set and then next, not so.

Now this course I am taking is no easy feat. Along with concepts that are new and foreign just the vocabulary and language of it alone is much to grasp. Funny thing is, I'm not complaining because really so far, it's not so bad. Not bad at all, it's just for someone like me who has to really and truly study to get good grades, well it is a vast amount to learn. Not only learn but to recall and be tested on these ideas.

I appreciate the earnestness of my professor by wanting us to not just regurgitate facts but be able to apply the concepts. But trust me when I say, IT'S A LOT TO TAKE IN.

So back to the idea of over studying, I truly feel like I did. I missed the easiest stuff on the exam tonight, because basically I spent way to much time on the topics that were more difficult.

Live and learn, and frankly I'm going to try and find new ways to study that are not so taxing - if that is even possible!

Library Bound

First big bio cell exam coming up on Monday. Need scantrons and many hours getting all these new ideas and terms locked into my brain. If I'm not at work you can find me at the library...oh, what fun!

A Bit Numb

Forgive me, but I just have to say this...AHHHHHHHHHH!

I'm tired (work and school today). I'm worried (which I don't usually do). I'm stressed. I'm not even able to really concentrate.

April is spending the night in the hospital. She was having chest pains, in her words she was feeling "like someone took a meat hook through her sternum," and "someone is sitting on my chest." Shit, crap, fuck, and any other words you want to add. This is not good.

Of course, my first thought is completely selfish. I have finally found someone who I adore, who I can't imagine my life without her in it, and I love deeply. What would I do without her?

But, then I finally get to the hospital and there she is. She looks wiped out, but good. She still has color in her face, she does not look MI grey. Thank goodness. I have so far remained calm, but once I put down my bag and go to her side I burst into tears. I do so love this woman. She tries to put on a brave front, but eventually it fades.

She is scared too.

So, far they don't really know what it is. She is doped up on morphine and given nitro (which I thought made her feel better, but didn't last for long, which I find relief in). It appears it is a toss up between heart issues and gall bladder. Hopefully we will know more tomorrow morning, after more lab tests and stress test.

I am sitting here at home, feeling numb. I'm going to try and sleep and pray that tomorrow brings good news and April back home to me.

Just Watch It

Glee you just have to watch it. Yes it's a bit kitchy even a bit bitchy, but what high school experience isn't?

You just have to love the dialogue, the characters, and the music. We are catching up on episodes, and love the way they handled Kurt coming out to his Dad. Perfect. Even loved the football team doing a Beyonce number. Perfect again.

If you don't have a DVR or on demand, you can catch this on your computer by just going to the Fox Channel Web Site. Yes, you can watch it on-line, it's that easy.

That said, tune in and tell me what you think. I think it's one of the best new programs out there even you want to laugh and be mesmerized by some magical voices.

Sunday, October 4th

Just a little bit of homework...for the next ten weeks. I miss blogging, but am determined to get a good grade in my Cel Bio Class!
