Well, I made it through yet another exam. I actually didn't do as bad as I thought considering I didn't understand the material at all...cardiology is hard. Anyway, I finished my exam early and went straight to this wine store about a mile away. I bought four bottles of wine, 2 red and 2 white. I then carried those bastards all the way home. For some reason I didn't quite think that one through. But it didn't matter because the drinking began right after that.
A few of us went to one of the pubs right next to school for fries and drinks. I had two gimlets (gin with a splash of lime juice) and considering the bastards skimped on the fries, I got a bit drunk. The four of us managed to spend $70 on drinks, so at least I wasn't the only drunk. After that, we all took a break and went home before dinner. I took a much needed nap and then got ready for dinner. We went to California Pizza Kitchen (not my choice), but the food got surprisingly better after we had a bottle of wine. We then went and played Apples to Apples and drank more wine. We finished two more bottles by the end of the night. It was great. It was additionally great because apparently the bar our class chose for our official post-test party sucked horribly. It was so bad our class president wrote an email to everyone apologizing for it. Hahaha...suckers.
On Saturday, I had my last wine class, which focused on champagnes. Yummy, yummy champagnes. I then came home and had more wine with my dinner, and then I passed out on my bed for the rest of the night. Literally. I moved my laptop and everything to my bed, and there really is nothing better than getting under blankets and having your laptop in your lap (as it was meant to be). Then, I basically did nothing on Sunday. Greatest weekend ever.
We got right back to work on Monday though, which sucks. My brain is still drained from all the thinking I did these past couple weeks. Anyway, we're on the musculoskeletal unit, which means LOTS of anatomy lab. During lab this morning, one of the teachers, who is a retired surgeon, caught me as I was cleaning up and asked me if I was Greek. I told him I was middle eastern, so he starts commenting on my features. This included my jaundiced skin (I'm pretty sure he meant olive-y, or else I drank waaay too much wine) and my dark, sensuous eyes. Normally, no one would be able to get away with this, but I was so amused and encouraged by the fact that when I'm an old, retired doctor, I can go around and say whatever the hell I want to people. I'm really quite looking forward to it.
Well, that's all for now. This week should be interesting, as we start our Cultural Dynamics class, which is going to suck so hard, and the St. Vincent concert on Saturday (yay!).
This isn't the greatest picture, but it's right outside my building. This was also before Christmas, so you can see the tree has lights on it. It was actually really pretty, but they've taken all the lights down, so now everything just looks all bare and dead. There isn't as much snow on the ground anymore either. Most of it has melted away, although some rather cruel ice patches remain. Although it's supposed to snow for the next two days...which just makes me sad.
And here's my obligatory cat picture. Look at that belly! Man, that cheers me up. :)
