Grumplestilskin...

I'm effing cranky. All the time. There's your update -_-

I would probably be less cranky if my stupid back didn't hurt so much every day. Yes, I'm whining.

I wish I had fun things to tell you... but I've just been studying since getting back from Winter break. We're currently learning respiratory physiology (not nearly as thrilling as it sounds...) and will be moving on to renal function shortly. It's all a bit dry while we push through the basics, but next block we will be studying the heart, lungs, & kidneys clinically, so I'm hoping that will be interesting.

Today in doctoring lab we met some pediatric "patients" (they're not sick, just helping us learn). It was really cute to see some of my classmates interacting with them- The kids were good sports, too, which was fun. My team worked with two 9 year olds and a 14 month old- the 9 year olds were scared at first, then kind of too cool, which I found incredibly entertaining! They didn't want to get caught smiling- but they SO did!! They reminded me of Devin & Adidas... (<3). The baby was terrified and wouldn't let anyone come near him- it was too cute! By the end of lab, though, he started exploring a bit and was playing with my stethoscope... we were buddies!

Also- (ok, maybe I am having SOME fun...) for those of you who hadn't heard- I'm on the hip hop dance team (no jokes, please, you love my moves). We recently found out we're going to Vegas in Feb to compete against the TU Nevada dance team :D There's a video on FB of our "show." I've never been to Vegas (surprising what with all the drinking, gambling, and stripping I do...) so this should be interesting...
