I really wish I had a life beyond school, because I feel like I have nothing worthwhile to say. I've started studying for boards. No fun at all, because I have no idea where to start, so I spend most of the "study time" trying to decide what to study. Then I realize that instead of studying for boards, I should be reviewing for my next internship, so then I just end up studying anatomy. The review book for boards says that there are "no straightforward anatomy questions on the exam," so then I feel like it's pointless to study the anatomy. However, I have a strong suspicion that even though there are no straightforward anatomy questions on the boards, you probably have to KNOW the anatomy to answer the non-straightforward questions. Since anatomy is not my strong suit, I guess I'll start there. I have a feeling I'm going to be carrying around my ortho notes wherever I go at Wildwood, because special tests are getting the backburner right now.
My new years resolution to get healthier by eating better and working out has been somewhat successful. I say somewhat, because I can't make myself work out every day, especially when it's on the boring bike. I don't care how much music I listen to, that thing is getting very boring. However, I can see myself getting better with it, because I can turn the resistance up higher and pedal faster than I could before. I know I should probably get off my butt and do some p90x videos, but I really don't feel safe "jumping" in my apartment because just walking in it makes me feel like the floor is going to cave through, lol. Ok maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, but I still don't think Brooke downstairs in the flower shop would be too happy listening to me jumping and running around for an hour. I'm pretty sure she probably doesn't even like listening to me walk around all day. She's probably going to do a little cheer when I go back to work on Monday. So, back to the point of working out, I'm trying to figure out new and different things I can do indoors (since it is absolutely freezing cold outside and the sidewalks are covered in snow) to exercise. I'm about ready to break down and buy EA sports active for the Wii, but I'm afraid I'll feel like I'm too busy with clinicals to ever even do it. I already have all the therabands and theracords and can't even make myself use those for anything....And I feel like doing core exercises takes too much time and if I'm going to spend a half hour on something, it should be something that burns calories. Ugh. I should probably figure this out before those 12 hour days start kicking my butt.
In other news, I pretty much have no life. My brother is coming to town for one day tomorrow to pick up my uncle's van that he bought off of him. He's actually not even going to be here for a whole day. His original plan was just to have my mom and I pick him up at the airport, bring him back here to get the van, stop and say hi to my grandparents, and then take off back home right away. But now he's decided to stay long enough to have lunch at my grandparents house. I'm glad it's him and not me that has to fly in early tomorrow morning and then drive all the way back tomorrow night. I guess he really wanted that van. As for me, I think it will be a long time until I ever get a new car, which is why I just spent $300 to have mine fixed. Let's all keep our fingers crossed that nothing else goes wrong with it at least until spring time when I can get my Mustang out and drive it again. I think my malibu is just getting sick and tired of driving to Toledo every day. I don't blame it, which is why I am not applying for jobs anywhere in Toledo unless I absolutely really have to. I am sick and tired of driving.
Well, that's it for now. I need to get a little bit more studying in today before I feel like I've accomplished anything. I'll try to make time to keep all of my dedicated fans updated on how my next internship goes.
