TO MOLLIFY LINGJACKSON OVERDRIVEBERT WHO IS THE SQUEAKY DESERT FIEND, POST ON THIS THREAD AND ONE OF YOUR FRIENDLY ITR MODS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WICKED AWESOME, AND POSSIBLY OFFER AN EFFUSIVE ST

I have all of those things and come daybreak this morning I really needed them.

can someone please macguyver me some energy?

Do you have a chocolate bar wrapper?

To be fair, the chocolate bar itself might be more useful.

perhaps yes. for now i rely on coffee.

I am totally procrastinating on EVERYTHING right now. Maybe coffee would motivate, but I don't have the energy to find out.

Also resisting the temptation to write my "reflection paper story" (total points possible: ZERO) in detective story fashion.

I took my time trying to locate her apical heart tones. They should have been audible at the fifth intercostal vertebrae, mediastinally on the left hand side of her body, but I could hear nothing. I was forced to investigate further with the help of a Doppler device...

need coffee for energy. need energy to make coffee. tricky one.

HI!

i don't understand many of those words Sara but i like your style. and probably your moxy too, if we're taking the 50s detective approach.

sara is this for same prof as limericks? because i think they'd totally appreciate a detective story.

Thanks Nick! Basically I was saying, "look for the heartbeat on the left side of the chest." "Vertebrae" really should read "rib," come to think of it. FASCINATING, I KNOW.

Yes, same prof... or set of profs - this class has had four lecturers, three skills lab teachers, and four different clinical instructors - some of that has overlapped, but not all of it. Come to think of it, for all I know, the entire department will be reading whatever tripe I produce!

My big plans for the afternoon: treadmill, Simpsons, cancer review, endocrine review.

Tonight: Mean Girls and another boozy milkshake. I fear for the eventual effect of this class on my body.

Nah, I say go for the Raymond Chandler effect, any structure is a bonus if your diagnoses and procedures are correct. Besides, any nurse that can actually write is a total gift to the doctors.

Yes, they will all fall in love with my fantastic charting prose!

HI I AM BORED

Hi I am wasting time!

Hi I am full, I had some of this tonight:

http://nedraggett.wordpress.com/2008/05/25/california-zucchini-bake/

It is good to know that Ned is out there in the kitchen somewhere. And that he's enjoying it!

i am watching zodiac now. good so far! god, i heart mark ruffalo so much.

We only got through about half an hour of Mean Girls. We are in the middle of planning a trip with another family to Disney World for next Thanksgiving, and the time frame for making food reservations starts tomorrow. So it's been phone calls back and forth all day.

Also, I have failed to study much.

I'm afraid to see Zodiac, btw!

Okay, I have now posted on the UTI thread, which must be a sign that I should get to bed. Or at least go away and pretend to study.

'Night all.

do you guys like the movie star trek iv? because it rules and fuck you if you think otherwise

I feel like that should be the actual mod policy
we run a poll STAR TREK IV AWESOME OR NOT and everybody who votes NOT is run down and shot in the back of the fucking head for the crime of not being worth another motherfucking minute of my motherfucking time (bonus - guess which noun would go here and win a free grimace air freshener for your vehicle)

good weekend so far

tehresa i <3 mark ruffalo too! i also thought zodiac was really good - different from most films about serial killers. just got home and have a huge pile of dvds to entertain me.

I went to ballgame with Dr Morbius and 69!!!

i'm looking forward to my first experience of watching a big football game in the US.

baseball soooooo much better than football. but you hate cricket so you wouldn't understand.

bah, it's all the same to me: men in tight pants crying over stupid their stupid balls.

balls are important.

although, as a rule, i am opposed to tight trousers.

men in tight pants crying over stupid their stupid balls.

No, that's opera.

"La noia, le mie sfere è triste," the noted aria from I Pantaloni Stretti

woken up by scary noises outside my door AGAIN and can't get back to sleep. AND i'm so fucking thirsty, my water bottle is empty and i'm too much of a scaredy-cat to risk unlocking my door and going inside.

awww :(

sara, zodiac is not actually as scary as you'd think it'd be. give it a watch!

ruby, i recommend you go for the awesomest sport of all: basketball. who needs helmets or bats? pure human strength is better. and also less confusing to watch than football. baseball is boring unless you're actually at the game.

i actually pretty much dislike all sports, but jordan is a huge USC fan so i feel like i should give football-watching a chance. but that's where i draw the line. lucky for me he's not really into other sports, so i don't mind putting a little effort into this one small thing for him.

jordan is a huge USC fan

WHAT. I should have fined him five times as much.

hahaha Ned.

Okay, I will add Zodiac to my netflix queue, but who knows when I will get to it.

Tom, I don't like to admit this, but I have not seen any Star Trek movies to my memory. I have seen a few episodes of one of the television series... not even sure which one.

God, sometimes I don't know how I have missed so much pop culture.

RR - I would prefer watching basketball to football myself.

argh sara, this is even more reason you need to come drink with me!

The lack of enough movie/tv watching over the past two decades or the basketball over football preference? (Maybe this all has to do with having dated a football player through high school...?)

basketball over football preference

But I SO wish I could come drink with you because it would be so fun!

Also, Thursday my life turns into several days of hell, and I think I could probably use the drinks and drinking company.

xpost Ah, clarity!

ruby you should at least go to a baseball game. the crappy food's great! everyone sings together! it is the best most inclusive most fun usa sport to see, partly for the above and partly because it's a reason to sit outside on a nice day

sara: seriously. stow away with john! profs will have to give you an extension if you get 'kidnapped' right?

lol, I can imagine explaining that.... "Remember my friend John, from high school who I told you about who got scurvy in college? Well, he's also a KIDNAPPER! And that's how I wound up in New York..."

I wish I could go, too, but honestly I just need to finish up this class so that I can get to "summer vacation." I'd take the final today and start clinicals tomorrow if I could, just to get this all over with.

you can get through this! if i did, you can!

oh yes and i got letter yesterday re: that scholarship. $1000!
