You can take a test to pick which smiles are genuine and which are fake. I got 16/20 correct - go me!

...as my previous post...i just found out that i was accepted into the graduate nursing program at Ohio State! i'm really excited!!!

i will soon be Emily, B.A., M.S., R.N., M.S.N., N.P.

i'm planning on putting all of that on my checks. :)

i don't find out about the fellowship until march 13, but i've definitely been nominated for it. keep your fingers crossed, please!

yay for being closer to doclegs, too!

well, even though *i* still haven't received my GRE scores, i emailed Ohio State to find out if they had. they did and my scores made me eligible for the fellowship i want (thankfully - it would have been quite the waste of time and money had i not scored high enough!). i ended up with a 5.5/6 on the writing section. i'm interested to see if some kind of critique comes with my scores (when i finally receive them). she said something about the admissions committee making a decision today...it would be great to find out so soon about what i'll be doing next year!

classes are going well so far. this quarter promises to be a lot of work! i'm home for lunch and heading back out shortly for jazz.

yay! it's done. and i think i did ok.

now...time for a nap and then work...(i'm working 10 out of the next 11 days - go me!).

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! only 2 hours until i take the GRE. i feel so not ready. i hope that i get an essay topic on which i have some coherent thoughts...otherwise it's going to be a whole lot of bullshitting for me!

also, it's so icy around here that my mom's school was cancelled today. here's hoping my little civic makes it up our steep, icy driveway and that i don't crash on the way to the test building!

i think i have nervous hiccups now - is there such a thing???

Your 2005 Song Is

Trapped in the Closet by R. Kelly "And now I'm in this darkest closet trying to figure out Just how I'm gonna get my crazy ass out this house" For you, 2005 was all about insane drama!

of course, i get the most ridiculous song of 2005 as my result. oh wait, my humps was the most ridiculous song...( click here for lyrics to my humps if you're interested...but i don't know how you could not be...that song is a train wreck )

Take the first sentence from the first entry of each month of 2005...

January: i love it when i'm laying in bed, playing fetch with my puppy, and she brings the ball back, flying onto the bed so enthusiastically, drops the ball right by my hand and proceeds to vomit partially-digested food onto the duvet cover.

February: oy life is crazy right now!

March: it's amazing how soon after coming home i feel like shit again.

April: updating b/c i'm bored at work.

May: busy weekend - spent time with B on friday night - i think we both enjoyed ourselves, with the added bonuses of coldstone creamery and a random drag queen in my building's elevator.

June: i don't know quite what to write, how to process what has happened, what has changed.

July: i bought some pretty flowers and some yummy Michigan cherries on my way home from work last night.

August: oy.

September: the wedding weekend was a lot of fun...pics are here.

October: just checked my grades online...got a 35/36 on my anatomy lecture exam!

November: been a fairly blah week.

December: i keep thinking that i want to update, but don't really have anything good to say...

don't know if any of you have seen this already...it's kind of mean, but pretty funny. :)

Seriously, try this.

argh! i tried to go donate plasma again today. i had taken a multivitamin (with iron) last night and this morning. my iron level was STILL too low to donate (i'm a point below where i need to be). i did lose 4 pounds though since thursday.

i am so broke. i hate it.

ok, so i didn't do as badly as i thought on the lab practical. just saw my score and i got a 32/34. i actually thought it was out of 30, but whatever. our group score must have helped, but i still don't know how they figured that in.

i just got done with my anatomy lecture exam, which kind of sucked. there were a lot of answers that i was unsure of, particularly on the multiple choice section, which i had figured would be the easiest. hopefully they will have the scores posted for that over the weekend and i won't have to venture into B territory. i hate B's.

i'm heading up to akron after my therapy appointment today (which i WON'T forget about). hopefully the concert will be fun, although it's going to be pretty chilly for an outdoor show. doclegs, i figured out which gay club in akron i was talking about - it's the Interbelt (on Perkins/Main St). ever been?

ok, gotta go to chem class now.

i had my anatomy practical today. we got to go through it once on our own and then again, as a group, with our lab tables. going through as a group made me realize just how many answers i got wrong. they do some funky averaging of the two scores, so hopefully that will give me a boost.

haven't heard anything on the job front. i tried to go donate plasma today to get some cash and was turned away due to low iron.

i'm being forced to pick a major or apparently i can't register for winter quarter. I'M NOT TRYING TO GET A DEGREE, YOU JACKASSES. must figure out a way to fix this.

my amex bill came today. it is depressing to look at. fuck, i need a job.

must go study for my exam tomorrow.

i am so annoyed. i can't find my black gaucho pants anywhere. they are my most comfy, yet still kinda sorta dressy pants...and they are nowhere to be found. i've looked through my laundry basket, in my closet, in my drawers, in bags. ugh! how do i lose stuff like this?

having a blah day today.

the last 3 hours of class were spent studying for our anatomy lab practical on thursday. i also have an anatomy lecture exam on friday.

also trying to study for my 2nd pharmacology exam. it covers a ridiculous amount of drugs.

i took my resume to the restaurant i hope to get a job at. the woman i wanted to talk to (the general manager who does the hiring) was in a meeting, so i just had to leave my resume with one of the servers. i really hope they call. i'm sick of not having any money.

i think we are going out to dinner tonight, so that will be nice.

i'm trying to decide if i should go up to akron on friday night. i guess if i don't have a job, there's really no reason not to. i'll stay with my friend mary...she wants me to go to the oasis show. i don't really like oasis, but it's only $15 and there will be free booze and it will be outside.

our grades from this evening's chem exam were posted already - i got a 97%! is it wrong that i'm kind of pissed i didn't get 100%? i think i mis-read microliters as milliliters and that screwed me up on one of the calculation questions. damn me and my skimming.

also saw that i got 9/10 on my lab quiz last week.

I LOVE LOST!!!
