Upset Saturday!

What a day to watch college football! and that's exactly what I did ALL DAY LONG!!! Well I was at a car wash for SOTA this morning but games hadn't started yet. I am totally screwed for my test on Monday. ahhhhh...1/2 of the top 10 got their butts kicked! Where will #3, 4, 5, 7, & 10 be now? Stupid Texas, if only you had won!

Accident

Because you all know how I like to drop things...this occurred about 1:30 AM last night in my bathroom. It flew all over the place! Caused me not to sleep til 3:00 AM. I also almost cut myself with the glass, so I got smart and used paper towels. Geez!

uhgggg Texas

Texas you make me angry, sad, and all other things!
2 years in a row you lose to KState...are you kidding me?
What are you going to do next week to OU?!?!?
sigh...
How am I going to study now?

Taking a break

I so want to tell y'all about my fieldwork that I started last week. It has been great there, and already I'm hands on working with patients. I really liking it there. Too bad I can't get into because of this feared Neuro test Monday! Here's what the next 3 weeks look like:

Done: Human performance through Learning midterm
Coming up: Neuro midterm, Enabling OP midterm, Research midterm, Assessment paper, and evidence paper all due while I finish out the last 3 weeks of fieldwork!

Come Monday, I may have to change my future occupation.

I'll leave you with these pics:

Houston 2xs a week

My schedule for the next month, starting next week! I get the pleasure to be the first group that goes off on fieldwork and be one that got picked to be in Houston while classes are in Galveston. I am ok with it now, actually more than ok. Sorry to those I vented to, I wasn't exactly thrilled to be driving back and forth for a month. I am thankful for this placement. I know I'm going to learn a lot from being at the VA, and I have awesome friends that are letting me stay with them the night before in Houston =) and knowing that I am on a time crunch, I will hopefully start studying in advance (don't laugh!). I have to! For the next 3 weeks I have all my midterms and papers due each week. No time to lolligag. Time to go to CPR class. I have to get my licensed renewed. They also have changed things...I guess I'll find out the new numbers.

What?!?!

This past Friday night I was chilling at home, still tired from my trip to California (although I didn't want to come back!), I was watching Miss Teen USA. Times have changed for these pageants. So here is a clip from Miss Teen South Carolina, who was in the top 5 and didn't place last either!

Year 1 DONE!

YAY...I'm done with my first year of OT school. It has gone by pretty fast and actually a lot of fun.
Lots of hard work...I don't think I have ever studied or worked this hard in school before. I guess I do want this ;)

I appreciate all the support I have gotten this past year. Especially those who came to visit or because was on the island stopped by to say Hello! You have no idea how much that means to me. It helped tremendously knowing that I can count on my family and friends. So don't go away yet. I still have another year!

and thank you God for being there even when I wasn't.

TOTs

Time to play another game of softball with the OTs...so far I have...

Game 1- not play, I let those more passionate than me play
Game 2- played, batted twice & hit twice- 1st ball advanced a player & I can't run fast enough so I got out. 2nd ball got caught by the pitcher who ran all the way over to near 3rd base to catch my ball. The pitcher seemed irritated with us the entire game.

My hopes is to play better since I really should be studying for my next final tomorrow.

Edit 10:11 pm- Game 3- I struck out the only time I was at the plate. I stink. The ball did come to me while I was in the outfield, and managed to get it to second but runner was already on base. Who wants to practice softball with me. I also have this habit of throwing the bat...gotta stop that. I'm gonna knock the ump out one day. We still have yet to win a game. We shall prevail!!!

the 26 club

welcomes Helen!
Happy Birthday =)

Maybe we should do this here in America...

Haha...kinda funny to me.
Although with finals...hence why I'm actually writing something...anything is funny.
I just have to make it thru Friday. Then I have officially completed my first year of grad school. That is if I don't fail any classes...

From paychee

For some reason it reminds me of the game assassin. But we wear ridiculous things to win something. I say we play it again...with these Hello Kitty armbands!

Yay Jenny =)

CONGRATULATIONS JENNY!!!

My darling friend is starting pharmacy school this fall...more drug dealing friends!
She's going back to UT Austin again...yay! Now I have another excuse to go to Austin =)

Rain

I'm sure y'all have heard me talk about rain in Galveston. I mean for the first few months of me living here, all it did was rain on the weekends! Well it's been raining again here for the past week, well more. But it also has been raining all around Texas with floods happening, over flowing river banks, and shutting down of lakes. I mean it has to be a lot of rain for lakes to be closed to boats and what not, especially during July 4th! Anyway, the point of this post is Leah and I just went to Wal-Mart. I take that back, we attempted to get there. It was only sprinkling when we left the east side of the island. By the time 20th street came along it was pouring and sideways rain was happening. So I think we got to maybe about 35th Street, we called it quits. I turn the car around and headed back. As we approached 10th Street or so, it was sprinkling again. My guess is the west side of the island still had harder rain than the east. Who knows. I just know that I didn't want my car to get stuck in the water. It's a possibility here.

Flying contact

I can't remember the last time I lost my contacts or dropped them without being able to find them again. I'm pretty klutzy as most of you know. I was taking out my contacts tonight and as i was putting the cap back on one side, the contact case slipped out of my hands. The other side's cap was not on so it flew out. I looked all around my sink and floor and found nothing. It's not as if my bathroom is all that big either! Man, I just got out this pair 2 weeks ago! Sucks. I don't have eye insurance so I try to keep my monthly pair as long as I can before switching them out. I guess this one will have to make it longer than usual!

Mosquitoes

I absolutely hate them...I really don't know who would like them. Last year when I first moved to Galveston at the end of August, the mosquitoes didn't seem so bad. I really didn't get bit or saw them much then. However, these past few weeks have just been awful! They're everywhere, and I'm their food! I'm going to my car from my room and I get bit. I write this now because one decided to follow me into my room from outside. I rarely get them in the dorms. I think this is the 2nd one I've seen in my room since I've moved here. It was buzzing around my ear. I swatted it away and thought I killed it. I guess not because I didn't see it on my hands or the ground. But now it's no where to be seen. Grrr....it will probably come bother me when I'm trying to sleep! Yay. Go away nasty mosquitoes.

Crinkle in the brain

I learned something new today.
Cannabis is the name of the plant in which marijuana comes from.
hm....

That's about the only thing that really has stuck in my brain for either of tomorrow's midterm.
Geez...

Happy now Trix?
