So it's been quite some time since I've posted here. I'm way too lazy to post a life update so I'm going to take a cue from the lame 25 things about me facebook posts. Only this time, it's going to be interesting and you 4 kids that read this are going out of your way to read it so that means something.... Here goes:
1. About a week ago I saw Kings of Leon in concert. Before you get judgey on me, listen to some of their music that isn't "Sex on Fire". I fucking love their old stuff; Holy Roller Novacaine makes me dance like nobody's business, Charmer is my absolute favorite these days and there is nothing like singing Milk at the top of your lungs on a summer night across the Ohio river. Plus, I got a kickass shirt and had a terrific bonding experience with Dan that night.
2. While the past few weeks have been so crazy busy, they have been filled with time with my family. I can't even put into words how much I absolutely love my family. They rule.
3. On that note, spending Saturday night holding my one month old (sorta) neice and sharing some sliced canteloupe with my other (sorta) neice as we read Where's Spot? three times in a row was one of the best moments I've had in a while. It's such a great feeling to hear a 2 year old call you "my Claire".
4. I got into grad school. I accepted. 4 more years at UC. I guess that's okay. I wanted to leave but I can't say I am not happy to be close to my family.
5. The more time passes and I get closer to Caroline and JD leaving the more depressed I get about not going away to school (and in turn being closer to both of them).
6. Saturday night JD and I stayed in and drank lots of beers and watched lots of 30 Rock. All I could think about was how much I am going to be a pathetic mess when he leaves. I need to get a better attitude: FREE PLACE TO STAY/REASON TO VISIT NYC! :)
7. My sister turned 29 on Friday. Damn.
8. I turn 22 in 10 days. Damn.
9. Less than a month from now I will have a bachelor's of science in Communication Sciences and Disorders.
10. 4 years from now, I will be a Doctor. HOLY BALLS.
11. I've been working at the zoo a whole bunch recently. It's such a ridiculous place to work. Shooin peacocks, selling giant stuffed animal manatees, orangutans, sumatran rhinos, etc.
12. Saturday at work, I was alone in the theater store and a zoo keeper came in with an owl. I chilled with an owl and keeper for an hour. HOW HARD DOES THAT RULE?!?!
13. Today I did laundry for the first time in like 3 weeks. It took me a while....
14. I got a parking ticket yesterday for something I have been doing since I lived on this street. Cinci police fail.
15. Today I had blood drawn and a shot. My doctor's nurse drew blood and then handed me my chart and told me to go give it to the desk. It wasn't my chart. I had someone else's complete medical and billing history in my hands. Hi, HIPPA exists.
16. Then they lost my chart.
17. Then they forgot to tell the nurse that I was ready for my shot. I waited a solid hour and complained loudly four separate times. Then I yelled at the desk lady and used profaine language as I did so.
18. I'm finding a new doctor.
19. I ironed 7 items of clothing today. I hate ironing. I always always put it off. If something has to be ironed, I avoid buying/wearing it. Just really irks me for whatever reason.
20. After organizing 26 baskets/collecting items for the silent auction for the CSD banquet, I did actually win one.
21. I got shitty drunk at the CSD banquet AND danced in front of my future clinic supervisor who only knew me from my application and stellar recommendations. First meeting fail. Luckily, he still likes me.
22. My left arm is pretty numb right now. I hope the doctor didn't inject me with swine flu or something...
23. I managed a 94% on my first neuroscience midterm. Dr. Pete even talked to me in the elevator after class to tell me he was impressed. At least I made a good impression on one of my professors.
24. My cousin Carl is coming into town again next week. I don't think we've been able to hang out one on one like we used to as kids in at least 5 years. We're planning a northside/clifton bars party next Saturday. I'm pretty excited. He's grown up into a pretty rad guy.
25. I've finally caved into convention and am growing my hair out again. We'll see how long it lasts.... I may even end up blonde again soon.
Hope that was at least mildly entertaining. More posts more frequently, I swear!
Thanks to my loyal two readers ;)
