Raisons d'Etre

This is what happens when women write ad campaigns for other women 

This is brilliant. Make sure you watch through the end.

Exciting Things

Lots of exciting things are happening in my life right now, which is a refreshing change.

  • I have a meeting with the advisor of the grad school program I was accepted to next Tuesday to go over registration options, as well as paid job/internship options that would help offset tuition. I’m still not 100% sure I’m going to start the program this fall, but this will help me decide.
  • I finally heard back from one of the many jobs I applied to, and I have a teleconference interview with a medical school next Friday for a job I applied to working with medical/health professions students in an administrative setting. 
  • The local dance concert fundraiser I choreograph for opens tonight. My piece looks great, so I’m really excited about it (actually, all the pieces look great). I’m not in the show, so it’ll be nice just to sit back and watch and enjoy it without the stress of performing.
  • My cholesterol results came back yesterday worse than they’ve ever been…not sure how since I’ve been consciously trying to make changes, but once again I have a renewed dedication to eating well and exercising regularly. I did an advanced dancer’s pilates class yesterday for just 15 minutes and I’m sore but feel awesome.

Quick post to say how awesome tonight was

  1. Alice Ripley started following me on Twitter
  2. At my friend’s bar night birthday party, I got free sunglasses from the Bacardi girls
  3. We also got lots of free sample shots in test tubes. We’re all nerdy medical people so we kept them.
  4. I stayed out until 2am…personal best within the past 6 months at least.

That is all.

I would write in that answer too.

Regularity

  • Me: I need dad’s blood pressure, cholesterol, and BMI for class
  • Mom: Dad says his Bowel Movement Inventory is regular.

Dr. Mom

  • Me: I think im having an allergic reaction.. Have hives, lips are itchy. Should I worry?
  • Mom: Look up on internet.
oh cadaver lab…which I didn’t go too today cuz I’m still all cold/flu-ish

Chicago Marathon

I was a medical volunteer at the marathon today and it was an awesome experience. I saw the first male and female finisher cross the line, and helped a few injured runners. Not sure if I’ll do it again next year or not (it was a long day. I’ve been up since 3am and probably walked 15 miles during the day), but I’m glad I did it this year. And I got a sweet Nike jacket.
