I like cheap tuition!

I finally registered for my spring classes about 2 minutes ago. It is a wonder how UTMB survives with how cheap tuition is. Tuition is less than half of what it was at UT at 11 hours! I'm not complaining at all...it's just quite AMAZING!!! Then this semester, I ordered my books online mainly because Barnes & Noble had free shipping and $10 off AND Jason and my parents joined so I got the member price too. Haha =) Made the 9 books for 5 classes much better. Too bad I still have articles to print. Let the printing party begin!

Yay OT =)

Looks like I am headed in the right direction for a career even though its the list for 2007. It's not like when I'm done in 2009 it won't still be a good job. I think it will be even better because I have joined!
Just kidding!

Happy Birthday Jesus =D

and

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

There is a lot to write about, but I'm not in school and have nothing to procrasinate on. Hopefully I'll write what's been going on soon!

DONE DONE DONE!

I'm DONE

well I have been done since yesterday at 3:15, but there were celebratory activities afterwards. Then I was too tired to say DONE!

and the awesome news is that I am coming back next semester! I'm pretty sure I passed all my classes, so my lucky classmates get to see me again =)

Now I'm packing up the car and going back to Houston.
Then this weekend is going to be packed with fun things to do. I'll be leaving for Austin tomorrow afternoon. Old work is having their annual Holiday party Friday night. Saturday is Kelvin's birthday and Sunday is Sungjin's graduation. I am ecstatic to be in Austin again and seeing friends. and it's suppose to be cold up there. whoohooo...I get to bust out the coats! Oh how I miss that city! It's time to go finish packing up my car. Hope to see some of y'all soon =D

Anatomy Final

It took me 1 hour and 45 minutes to take my final today. I was the second to last one to be done. That's so me. Near the last one to be done. I checked my test 3 times to make sure I didn't do anything stupid before I turned it in. I found like 2 stupid mistakes and then I changed my answer but with good reasoning. I hope it was good reasoning! Patricia, our professor, said she have the grades done by the end of the week and it will be posted on econnect by next week. Well I guess she was quicker than she thought. She was done today and sent us an email.

"There were some squeakers but the bottom line for the final course grade is 13 As, 15 Bs, and one C."

Ahh...now I want to know my grade. I don't want to wait now to find out what it is if she's already got them graded. So I sent her an email to see if I can find out earlier...haha....why am I so stuck on finding out what I got. I'm sure it's not the C and it's probably a B. I just want to be sure.

You guys should have seen the class during the test. The application portion of the exam has all of us standing up, sitting down, taking shoes off, doing all these actions, and all this other stuff to figure out the answer. I was quite amused.

Off to studying for my last final tomorrow. By this time tmrw, I will be partying it up =)

um....

TMI= too much information

Anatomy final in 6 hours and 20 minutes.
I am pretty sure I know more than 50% of the information, so I'm pretty sure I have the B (hopefully!). Now, can my brain pull off the A? We shall see!!!

Good night my friends =)

Before I go to bed...

I wish my brain had more motivation to finish out the semester. Seriously, I have 3 more days, including today. I am done on Wednesday and should be happy I'm done so early. I am happy and ve rmuch excited, I just want my brain to cooperate with me so I can pull out As because that would be absolutely AMAZING!!! So my friends and I figured out that we need an 85 on our anatomy final to keep the A we have, but can get a 50 and still have a B. When I saw that my brain immediately thought GREAT! I do not have to study so hard. Haha...hmmm...I am pretty sure some people who are reading this are yelling and want to yell at me for thinking about being a slacker. Haha... When I started grad school, I knew I would be fine with Bs. That would already be better than grades at UT. Shoot, during undergrad, Bs were awesome to me! I was definitely a B/C student until I switched majors, but by then it was too late for my GPA. Anyway, grades in grad school don't mean much when it comes to treating clients. You just can't get Cs. People who hire you don't look at grades because most everything is based on you during rotations. and I'm pretty sure I can do well there. I do better applying than taking tests anyway. No worries people who are wanting to yell at me, I am shooting for the A even if my brain won't play along with the rest of me. Time for bed, it will be awhile before I get any good sleep!

Random 3

Well not so random and probably TMI for you...

I bought the Mach 3 last night and totally in love with it! I left my razor who knows where, and I just couldn't deal with all the pricklies anymore. But I don't know if it's because my skin hasn't seen a razor in almost 2 weeks or if this shaver really leaves my skin as smooth as a baby's booty. I choose the razor. I've used it before. My question is, how come men and women shavers are so different. I sometimes think women's hair can just be as thick.

Sorry, this entry has probably grossed you guys out!

No more random thoughts for awhile. Going to actually head off to the library to study. I can't seem to do anything in my room but watch football.

random 2

Lets see how many random things I can post from now til the end of finals.

random

I love cereal! Eating it right now. It's probably one of my favorite foods to eat no matter what time of the day it is.

How do you get to play in the Dr. Pepper football challenge? I want to play in it. For kicks & if I make it, then I get money too. Win Win situation for me! I think Liem would do pretty well in it.

What does your dad do for a living?

To this day I still don't know what my dad does exactly. He works with oil machinary, I think.
That's for you Andrew. He works with machines. haha...

Brrrrr on the island

It's funny how I have always have a hard time writing papers, but when I'm blogging there's not much of a problem. Obviously, it's because this is by choice, and I pretty much just type exactly what's in my head. That's also another problem. Sometimes I talk like I'm FOB.

So I am still cranking out this paper that is due tomorrow at 4pm. That's in 23 hours and 45 mins...shoot I have lots of time! haha. I've been working on this all week, and the prof was right, should have started this earlier. For once I have not been able to complete a research paper in 5 days. I don't think it has taken me this long before. All the papers I have had to turn in earlier in the semester didn't take me this long. This paper isn't all that different from others ones. Oh well. It's the end of the semester. I don't regret taking the entire week of Thanksgiving and doing nothing. It was good for my mental health.

Texas weather is weird. I am freezing in my room. I wonder if it's colder outside or inside. I knew the weather would drop like 30 degrees from morning to night, but the weatherman was slightly off with his timing. It wasn't suppose to get cold until 2 or 3 today. I went to school in jeans and a thin long sleeves. I was burning up as I walked to class this morning and was even sweating a lil. During class you can see it get windy, but if you touched the window it wasn't cold yet. Come 11:30 as I was going home, it was FREEZING!!! It got cold and extremely windy and my toes didn't want to grasp onto my flip flops! I absolutely love cold weather. I much rather be cold than hot, but my body hates cold weather. I have poor circulation and low blood pressure. It's normal for me, but not normal to the normal people. My body cannot adjust to the cold weather. It just never warms up unless I have millions of layers on me. Two years ago when I was in NY, I would have on all these clothes and my puffer and still be cold until I walk inside. Now I don't want to do anything even more except go lie under my covers. Until then, I'll just have layers of clothes on and fuzzy slippers I got from An earlier this semester =)

Oh geez, I can smell the cigarette smoke from down the hall. I wonder how he gets away with smoking in his room. I guess I better get back to my paper. Sorry, random.

Before I forget, I got pooped on by those loud black birds that gather around my dorm in the evenings. At least I was coming back from the fieldhouse and not going to it. Things from nowhere like to land on me. It wasn't that much, but it made my night!

Now back to my occupation paper on mothering. I should frame this paper since I am putting so much time into it!

My thoughts exactly!

"There is no pleasure in having nothing to do;
the fun is in having lots to do and not doing it."
--Mary Wilson Little


Thanks Jamie, you read all of our minds!
This is exactly how I feel in the last few days of the semester.
Good night world.

A "final" prayer

Disclaimer: This is not me and is not my mentality. I do totally believe in prayer and find that it doesn't hurt to give a shout out to the Lord before tests. But obviously you, yourself should have put in the work and effort of studying. Anywho, just something my friend sent to me today. Back to my paper I go!

The prayer said before finals:

Now I Lay Me
Down to Study,
I Pray the Lord I
Won't Go Nutty.
If I Should Fail to
Learn this Junk,
I Pray the Lord
I Will Not Flunk.

But If I Do,
Don't Pity Me at All,
Just Lay My Bones
In the Study Hall.
Tell My Prof
I Did My Best,
Then Pile My
Books upon My Chest

Now I Lay Me
Down to Rest,
And Pray I'll Pass
Tomorrow's Test.
If I Should Die Before I Wake,
That's One less Test I'll Have to Take.

Fix me please

My best work is almost always done from the hours of 10pm to 2 am. I get so much accomplished during that time. It's like my brain only functions during that small window of 4 hours! Someone please get it to work at other hours of the day...preferrably throughout the entire day, at decent hours, and in those 4 hour chunks with small breaks. I will gladly cook and bake you something if you can fix it. Sorry, that's all I have to offer, I'm poor. My study and homework life would be much better and it may even allow me have a social life of some sort too!

OK, good night to all!

1 week and 3 days left...

Back on the island, well I've been here since 4:30pm. Serious time. I was really, really sad to come back. Usually I don't mind coming back or leaving Houston, but for some reason this time I was poopy. I even called Annette to tell her I didn't want to go back to Galveston. and NO it's not because I wanted to play more (maybe a lil'), but I didn't get to see a lot of people or hang out with friends very much. and I miss my family too...shhhh don't tell. Anywho, I'm over it. It was just a moment of me being all weird.

I only have 1 week of classes and 2 days of finals left of school! I am soo stinkin' excited and can't wait! Too bad the week before finals, I get another crazy week of work due. Here's a peek into what is left:

This week:

Tuesday, 28th
1. remainder of historical papers due
2. Hearthstone presentation (pretty much done)

Thursday, 30th
Anatomy presentation (pretty much done)

Friday, 1st
HUGE Occupational paper due! (This thing is worth 50% of my grade. Pretty much the grade I get on this paper is the grade I'll get in the class =/ )

Next week:

Tuesday, 5th
Anatomy final 9-11 am (I know nothing except where my gluts are)

Wednesday, 6th
Philosohpical & Historical final 1-3pm

Then I'm done...not bad huh! I think I am going to make it through my first semester of grad school. whoohooo! Back to work I go now!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'll write more later because I am suppose to start schoolwork! Except I'll probably be watching football after lunch =D

I have just been summoned by my 6 yr old cousin to go downstairs and cook! It's a good think I like to cook. Though my sister said no to the cheesecake brownies =(

Happy Thanksgiving!

I *heart* OT

Look what we did in class today! Yes that is right, we played with yarn, crayons, markers, feathers, glue, buttons, and a bunch of other stuff =) It was nice to not have to worry or think about quizzes, papers, and tests for an hour. It was our last day in Occupational Influences on Living, so Elicia (professor) threw us a party! Of ocurse there was a lesson and meaning behind it all, afterall this is OT and everything we do has meaning! If you want to know more about meaning, let me know. haha. We still have a major occupational/research paper due (50% of my grade, yikes) in there after Thanksgiving, but I can't believe my first semester in grad school is almost over! Can't wait til winter break...until then here is a picture for you to enjoy!

Happy early Thanksgiving!
Don't forget to give thanks =)

Yummy in my tummy!

For your pleasure my friends...and if you need a date for the first coupon, I'm game =)

I need head help?

All of yesterday afternoon and last night my internet was out. It seemed everyone connected to UTMB didn't have internet. and it made me so sad. Pathetic I know but it is my only connection to the world outside my dorm room. It really wouldn't be bad if I wasn't by myself because it is not like I need to be chatting or checking my mail all the time. I am not addicted to the internet! I was told I need to learn how to be by myself. I can be by myself, I just don't like to be for long periods of time. and I don't think this has anything to do with my being independent. I just like friends to be around. oh geez, at least I finished my outline!

*I spent some time on the land line instead. Good 'ol fashion communication around Galveston. Not even really any on the cell!
