Ooh! There's an "insert image" option at the upper right of the entry box on the LJ Update page. How nifty. How do I keep missing the memos?
Today was my last day on the Peds/Community Clinical. I got to run some Denvers on the sweetest kids in the world. The actual testing took no more than an hour, so I was free from 10AM. Shortest clinical ever. It's a lucky thing I decided to talk to my classmate before getting down to business because I found out the exam I thought was on Thursday is actually tomorrow (surprise!) I'm sort of cramming, but at this point I have the utmost confidence in myself. I've been mentally coasting on these exams so far and doing pretty okay so I figure if I go over the material that doesn't ring a bell for me I'm guaranteed at least a 90 (fingers crossed). Since I decided to be really productive today I also managed to do the two community assessments for peds/geriatrics, and interviewed two of the nicest program directors ever (recurring theme for today = great people). I walked into both of these facilities without a scheduled interview and within 20 minutes was able to chat and get all the information I needed. I don't know if it's the spicy dinner talking but I really feel like giving the world a hug. Okay, I lie -
most of the world I'd hug (sorry Greenland!).
No crack or crystal for me today, I pinky-swear! Just entirely too much pre- and post-natal studying going on.
No trick-or-treaters this Hallow'd Eve. My neighborhood's fairly dead when it comes to that sort of stuff. Mom did buy candy though. My brothers will probably finish it before the night's out.
Jake Gyllenhaal's in the new Entertainment Weekly. I really have to get that issue.
The reason why I signed onto LJ in the first place: I found this little piece of tripe in my Women's Health textbook. I figure it's saccharine enough to share.
My friends tease me when I say this, but I know the moment my daughter was conceived. My husband and I had both been so busy at work, but we finally went away for a long weekend together. It was wonderful-we got back some of the magic as we took long walks and talked and talked. Until that weekend, whenever we discussed having children it was always "maybe someday." On the second night we decided to skip the diaphragm for the first time ever. Our lovemaking seemed so special that evening, a true reflection of the emotional closeness we had recaptured. I never went back to using the diaphragm after that weekend, but I am convinced that Jennifer is the result of that night together!
What...thefuck? And that's a goddamned uncredited chapter opener, meaning the authors made that shit up exclamation point at the end and all.
And, to top it off, there's a fuckin'
bouquet of FLOWERS at the beginning of the text block.
I swear to God I have a heart, but that passage made me laugh and laugh and laugh.
Right. Back to the world of placentas and sappy segues.
