Taste the Rainbow

So I think one of my favorite candies of all times has to be Skittles. As a kid, I used to separate them all by color, then take each color, but the entire batch in my mouth, chew until my jaw fell off, then picked the next color and did it all over again. (OCD anyone?). Sometimes, I still do that. Although my jaw muscles aren't as good at chewing up candy as they were when I was 5. Reason for mentioning this? Skittles have been my step study treat and savior. They make me happy. Plus, I don't eat the whole bag in one sitting and I adjust the calories/exercise as needed, so they're not making me feel guilty. Besides, we all need to do something that makes us happy, no?

5 days and counting. I need to learn biochem, but at this point I don't think I can. I'm pumped about getting my brother's house all to myself until the 28th. He and his wife went to orange beach and I get to house and animal sit for them. Almost an entire week of disturb-free studying! To quote Will Smith, "parent's just don't understand".

Well, I should say good luck to all of us who still have STEP looming, and Congrats to those who have finished it and now can do the ultimate brain flush.

I shall now return to getting my ass handed to me by USMLE world qbank.

26 Days

I have 26 days left to study for STEP. Let's just say, the fire under my ass has been lit. Granted, it's been hard getting back on the study wagon but it's getting easier the more i remind myself of the impending deadline.

I went to my friend's wedding last night. she looked absolutely beautiful. I'm really happy for the both of them. And I also ate about 10 lbs of awesome chicken salad sandwich, chicken, and the wedding cake that was so awesome. I had a great time and I was really happy to find that the dress I bought for the wedding fit me better last night than when I bought it. Thank you calorie counting and running!

Well, I don't have much to talk about. I'm starting off on biochem and will work my way thru the rest of first year material. The diagnostic I took the other day scared the ever living shit out of me, but it was good because it showed me that all the first year material has left my face. So what did I do? Made blueberry muffins this morning.

Also, I'm really excited about my new glasses. They're kinda vintage looking. Very 1950's cat eyed with a little something on the sides. woot! Now if I could just decide what I want to do with my hair, I'd be all set.


Now onto Glycolysis, Gluconeogenesis, HMP shunt, and rate limiting enzymes! Ugh. Someone stick a fork in my eye to make the pain go away.
