Studying and whiny dogs

My dog likes to talk to me. A lot. "I need outside." "I'm sure there are rabbits or squirrels outside for me to chase." "I want a chewie." "You just got home, therefore you should feed me." "That plate you have there has something on it for me." "Go to sleep. Seriously."

Sometimes he combines the talking with bounding around the trailer like a horse. Just in case I couldn't hear him, I guess. Oh, well. At least he's cute.

The little things

I discovered during surgery lecture that my dog has a doppelganger. Seriously; at first glance, and upon closer inspection, one of the 3-legged dogs pictured in our powerpoint is just about identical to the 4-legged hooligan that trots through my trailer. My friends agreed, and my mom thought it was Vanyel when I sent her the picture until I pointed out the missing leg.

A break in the storm

Pre-Spring Break Testing Madness doesn't start until February 28. Unfortunately, PSBTM consists of 6 exams over 2 weeks -- but it should be doable as long as I can recapture the productivity that came over me yesterday for most of the next week.

It was entirely unexpected. I got so much accomplished! It was the first truly productive night I have had all semester. In summary:

• Got some things squared away with the WCC (I'm working with them on something Really Cool)
• Finished something for Really Cool Thing and made progress on another
• Knocked out 4 diagnostic pathfinders for clin path
• Finished my virus chart and started on flashcards that will be highly color-coded
• Backed up my computer

It doesn't really seem like a lot, but it's all school stuff or related to school.

In non-school news, my pre-ordered copy of Dragon Age II will (hopefully) arrive on March 8th! This is right at the tail end of PSBTM but it should only burn a hole on my desk for about 2 days... then it's spring break! And I can play without jeopardizing a test!

I'm already getting antsy and started playing Fable: The Lost Chapters to help tide me over.

Why hello there February...

This semester is sucking the life out of me. Our classes seem largely disorganized (possibly because most everything last semester was hyper-organized) and the weather is crappy and everyone is sick and the motivation to study is seriously lacking.

Yeah.

As a side note: Why did I decide to watch Bones (online... I have no cable) as it airs and not wait until the season ended?? This whole wait-until-next-week, then oh-we're-on-hiatus-for-like-two-weeks thing is going to drive me nuts! And no, Booth! No!
