you know you've been taking anatomy for way too long when:

- at work, you say "the cookies are on the left, proximal section on the shelf" and the customer looks at you like an idiot.

- you tell your doc that the pain is in your right hypogastric region.

- you can come up with 150 specific reasons why smoking is bad, as well as explain in vivid detail what chemical, neurological processes and cells that are effected. note the word "detail"

- you flip out if someone says "ribs." it's INTERCOSTALS, you moron.

survived my first week of nursing clinicals at a long term health facility. the more i am there, the more i am convinced i will haunt my children in their dreams if they ever dump me in a shit hole like that. there's absolutely no excuse for the scent of stale urine that chokes you to death the second you enter the place and the pressure ulcers that are almost weeks old on some of the residents. sigh.

in dire need of a vacation...and maybe a little alcohol if given the chance. eight (well...seven) says until spring break. seven days until i see my boy in boston. too bad i'll be spending 99% of the time studying.

lots of love to all
