See that line? Well I never should have crossed it.

Ten points for whoever figures out who sings the song whose lyric is my title. That song has been stuck in my head alllll week.

I'm tired. I've been very busy today - cleaning, laundry, baking, studying, and making out my menu for the week. On the upside, I've perfected my kolache recipe! I've learned the best dough recipe and found the perfect cheese/sausage combination. Now if I could just figure out how to get the dough to rise and learn to use less per kolache and maybe get a mixer to make my life easier... then it would be unspeakable amazingness.

Tomorrow will be more busyness - groceries, then studying FOREVER. Because we have an ISF test this week! As it looms closer, it is become more frightening.
On the upside, I've been putting my government-loaned set of human remains (bone box) to good use.

The three day weekend was lovely. New York was awesome!! Seeing Central Park, the Met, the (in)famous subway, Times Square, and Ground Zero was pretty neat. The Met was amazing, thought I must confess we went for quantity over quality, because we knew we had limited time. The most striking thing about Ground Zero was this thought: "There used to be two buildings there". Right now its just space in a very crowded place - it looks almost unnatural. But I hear they're building anew.
Shopping was great, and I LOVE my new very red coat. And visiting with Ashley was the most fun! As much as I love everyone here, its nice to see an old friend, and catch up on the gossip of our far-flung friends. The train was good too, I would recommend it.

The four day week was still pretty long! Thankfully we've finally cracked open the chest and are doing organs now! Organs are way more awesome than muscles. Also, our surgeon caps finally came in the mail, so my dissection team looked awesome in pink.

After last week's crazy long Human Context paper, I cannot believe that I am thinking about doing NaNo again. It would be insane! But it would be fun... So the baby name book and an old notebook have been procured. God help me get through November. (And save me from parentheses... I love/use them too much.)

Looking ahead

Biochemistry test two - done and over! I think I did okay, not as well as I did last time though. I've vastly improved from my last post. I'm at peace with everything and moving on.

This past week I did a lot of neat things. Wednesday I went out with a bunch of Air Force people (Air Forcers?) to dinner to show some interviewees just how awesome we were. Thursday we met for pancakes! They were awesome. Then I helped with interview day - was there for Q&A and gave a tour to the prospective students. It was fun, and I learned that we're allowed to/supposed wear the Global War on Terror ribbon, which means I need to make another pilgrimage to Andrews.

Friday was the biochem test, and then lab. They always make us take lab after a test, since we're required to go to lab so we can't skip. It's a good plan, but I was sicker than anything so I was not excited about smelling formalin for two hours. I made it through then was miserable at home.

I felt better yesterday, so I went out and bought a bookcase-thing from IKEA for my DVDs, window treatments for the bedroom, and a flower pot for the plant my grandma sent me. I'm determined to keep it alive, so I'm going to move it into a bigger pot with a water catcher so I can gauge if I need to water it or not. I got the pot from Michael's, and am in the process of painting red. So it will match, of course. As for the window treatments... I think I drilled twelve different holes for a total of eight screws. In other words, parts of the wall nearest the window have a superficial metal layer that my drill cannot take. So I had to keep moving further out. You can't really tell thankfully, since the curtains cover them. I also tried to drill a hole in the ceiling without success for my hanging lamp. The ceiling is not drillable. So there's an extra useless hole. The kitchen has a lower ceiling, so I managed to get it up in there. The whole situation has left me with wall particulates everywhere and a serious dislike for drills. (Sorry Lulu.)

I have so much to look forward to though! Tomorrow is the Billy Talent show in Baltimore!!!!!! I cannot wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be the first "real" show I've seen of theirs. I saw them play in a record store in London, as a promotion for their second cd, which was neat, but that place was not acoustically designed. And it was short, to allow time for the signing. Then I saw them in Austin, but only as opening for My Chemical Romance. They are headlining this show!!

Then on Friday I'll board a train to New York! I'm excited to see Ashley and visit the city! Plus, isn't there just something adorable and quaint about taking a train? Aaaand it's a three day weekend, so yay!

Anywho, I do have a military studies test tomorrow, so I'm going to try to pretend to study for it. It'll be great.
