It's been a shamefully long time since my last post. I blame insane classes, high work schedule, and the fact that I've been basically dropping comatose into bed when I come home. It's been a hard semester. We're wrapping up the cancer module right now - this post is a brief break in the sea of ridiculously hard to spell drugs I'm adrift in. I'm having a difficult time forcing myself through this last push of intensive studying. It doesn't help that I tanked one of the exams and am therefore on the borderline of two grades, or that I don't want to specialize in oncology.
Thankfully spring break is in two days and I'll be able to relax then. We'll be between modules so unless I want to read ahead on GI/hepatic stuff, I'm free from studying woes. I also have most of the week off from work, so I plan on playing video games, reading through a stack of books, and playing my accordion. There may be a road trip with Dan in there as well.
As I haven't updated in forever, I also haven't mentioned my current boyfriend. His name is Dan, and he's a good mix of nerd/outdoorsy. He enjoys discussions of chemistry and video games while at the same time taking me longboarding and snowboarding. Having a boyfriend who lives a block away is very strange. Pleasant, but strange. We can have dinner together at the drop of a hat, or he can stop by and play some Modern Warfare with me, or any number of things I'm very unaccustomed to.
One last thing before I dive back into the world of cancer and pain treatment - Pi day was this Sunday and I managed to convince my fellow students to participate. I made blueberry, chocolate truffle, and lemon meringue, while two others made pecan and banana cream. It was a delicious success. I'm not counting my mental block regarding all things lemon that ended in the lemon meringue resembling more neon yellow goop than anything in pie form. I can't make lemon bars either . . . it's a citrus-y tragedy.
There will be more posts from now on as the next module is rumored to be the easiest we have and I'm planning on actually using my camera more. And playing/recording the accordion playing. Now that I have a full size I'll be able to expand what I can do (if my arm holds up, that beast is heavy).
