Do You Know The Muffin Man? Because I Can't Make My Own.

So after the suckfest that was 4th block tests, I'm finally relaxing. Friday afternoon I took myself straight to the local pizza and beer place. I then proceeded to drink some beer (happy hour is very good to me) and then find my new favorite pizza. It's got pesto as a sauce base, jalapenos, button and portabella mushrooms, spinach, and feta cheese. SO GOOD. Then I slept in Saturday, hit the gym, then went bowling with a bunch of friends. I had such a good time just goofing off. I even threw my very first spare! (For those of you who don't know me, breaking double digits in a game is a successful game for me). I really enjoyed seeing all my friends because I have been bad about staying in the nerdhole lately. Today has just been laid back. I've decided that I want to start doing 5k's, so I got on the treadmill this afternoon. I ran 1/4 of a mile to start out again, then did some fast walking. All in all I did 2 miles. Not too shabby for my first time back in a while. I also baked some chocolate muffins, but they were not a success. They basically stick to the paper liners like glue,and you lose half of it in the battle to pry it off the liner!

This week will be busy. We have the pathology interest group meeting tomorrow. Then Wed I have a doctor's appointment, thurs is the venture to the children's hospital for valentine's goodies, and then friday is give a kid a smile day. WHEW! Plus I have an ICM assignment due and I'm going to have to keep up better this block for damage control. I haven't gotten all my grades in yet, but they did take a severe hit with me being so focused on the end of Microbiology. And with that said, NO MORE MICRO! It makes me endlessly happy. I also have to throw in a preceptor meeting in with everything. It'll be busy but hopefully not mentally taxing. I like to keep busy, so it won't be terrible.

I also need to do some retail therapy. I got several gift certificates for Christmas that I have yet to utilize. I need a new pair of khakis because my old ones are just that. Old. They have a few stains on them and are worn so it's just time for a new pair. Plus, I can always use some new shirts to wear. I'm constantly getting my wardrobe in shape for 3rd year. I'm mainly a jeans and t-shirt type of person, so the whole dressing up every day will prove challenging for me. It's going to take a lot of effort on my part and I'm going to have to have to have a lot of input from friends because I'm not the most fashion forward person. I have trouble putting outfits together and matching colors and whatnot. Ugh, I'm already getting a headache thinking about it.

With that, I may go take a nap! woot!

Thanks for the positive feedback! I know it's a hard road ahead, but I feel ready for the challenge. It always makes me feel better to get words of encouragement.

I'm glad you had a enjoyable weekend. Got any chocolate muffins left? =]
