school = robot brain

I hate the feeling of being so in my own world that I don't stop to think about others
This is what school does to me

I am constantly thinking about my patients.
** I have to reschedule her for that day**
** I have to get the paper work for him by this day or Mrs. So and so will kick me...**
** I don't have a patient for Thursday, What if no one comes and I have an empty night?**
** I hope Mr. what's-his-face is harder than a level 2, or I'm not going to pass this semester**
** She's not going to be happy about coming back for another appointment, but it's not my fault she didn't take of her teeth and now I have more work to do...**
** I have a new patient. I hope their nice. Not like the patient who screamed at Roxy the other day and then left the clinic**
** I'm starting to get overbooked! What if they put too many people in my schedule that I won't have enough room for my returning patients?**

These thoughts and others are always on my mind. Not to mention the fact that I'm constantly thinking about projects coming up, quizzes I need to study for, and oh ya the all important Board Exam in March that I've already started studying my brains out for...
oh ya, and all of this costs money!
anesthesia board -$260
board review - $350
actual board exam - $945
(...the learning experience...priceless?)
UHG!
not to mention the fact that I want, {no NEED} loupes! (magnifying lenses that help you see the crap on peoples teeth. If you don't have them, you need super vision to see or else you are hunched over to see it)
which can range in price from $800-1200 or more!

So now you understand why I have been MIA.
but the interesting thing is, I have been entertaining myself in odd ways for a busy person


i found the time to {FINALLY} pick up the "Hunger Games" books.
Can I just say WOW. So good! I have been forcing myself to only read on the weekends so that it doesn't interfere with school, so I am so excited to start the 2nd book tonight!
At first when I started to read the book, I did think the plot seemed a little dark in the first one, but it's SO good. Trust me.

Also, I have found the most WONDERFUL internet show! It's called "The Girls with Glasses Show". It has Brooke White from American Idol {whom I adore} and it is so cute and clever! It's so wholesome and good.
Click HERE to go to their homepage
and click HERE to see my favorite episode :)
and click HERE to see their theme song music video! it's to die for!

Also, you need to see this you tube video. it's my favorite!
Its Julian Smith - Malk


So that's what I have been doing when i haven't been thinking about school yuckiness.

My point being, is that I need to take the time to think about other things in my day.
Like what kinds of happy things I can do for Nick
What friends might need an uplifting phone call or hug if I see them
I can even think about my needs other than school. Like I really need to paint my toenails {looking a bit rasty}

so anyway, Have a good weekend! I hope you spend it thinking about others, and watching all the wonderful videos I suggested :)
Then I KNOW you will have a good weekend

loves,
K
