It's a scorcher

Update time!

I got just about 8 hours of sleep Tuesday night. I was all rested up for a 12 hour day on Wednesday.

I didn't need Starbucks until 4 pm.

This is when I realized that if you purchase a drink in the morning and come back before 2 pm, you get another drink for $2. They are bribing me to become addicted to caffeine. How dare they!

Thursday's Pharm class did not meet (we get to watch the lecture online). I did not have to be at school until 12:15. Good things are happening right? hmmm

5 minutes into the Mental Health lecture, we all started to smell something funky. It smelled like a gas leak of some sort. The teacher and some others were getting a headache...and it just didn't seem safe.

We walked over to the building next door to squeeze into a classroom that wasn't meant for 80 something students. Some sat on the floor. The professor gave us the option to leave and she would post it online. Most of us stayed. I had already gotten up, gotten ready, and driven up to school. I stayed. It was our professor's specialty and what she really enjoys: mood disorders. How could I walk out on that?

 After class, Stesha and I did our windshield survey for our community assessment. 

We drove over to Chapel Hill and made some observations.

We saw this on the way:

 We spent about an hour driving around. We drove through UNC and I noticed a lot of cute shops and eating places. Chapel Hill is a nice place. I almost wished I lived there...except for the distance to school.

When I got home I took my second ATI practice test for Adult Health.

Then I began something that I kind of wish I hadn't...because now I'm addicted.

I played the first episode of Ally McBeal.

I'm hooked.

I'm currently on episode 6.

Save me.

I slept in per usual this morning.

I sat out and got some sun and then decided to go for a walk.

I know everyone has been talking about this "heat advisory" thing. I figured I'm from Texas and I can handle it.

This is normal Texas weather:

actually it's a bit cooler here.

5 minutes into my walk, a lady pulled over in her car to ask me if I was walking because I needed a ride or because I was exercising. I told her I was exercising and she looked at me like I was crazy. She told me she could give me a ride if I needed one. I couldn't help but laugh.

I did not see anybody else out today and people that drove by gave me some weird looks.

When I got home I had some lunch and watched more Ally McBeal.

I decided to be productive and bought 2 books for my Maternity class next semester.

The Maternity and Peds professors came to speak with us on Friday about next semester. We had a chance to put down our preferences for clinicals. I'm really hoping I get what I put. I chose the 12 hour shifts on Fridays with an 8 hour shift every-other Saturday or Sunday. I just can't bare having one of the other slots: 8 hour shift on Friday and then again on Sunday. Having Saturday and then Monday off every week is just a weird schedule. I would like 2 off in a row...pretty please. I should knock on wood. It's only a semester, right? One I'm looking forward to.

I was doing laundry tonight and for the first time this happened:

Alcohol wipes were found at the bottom of the washer.

It has now happened to me.

My CI warned me this could happen. He said you would start finding these thing everywhere. 

Mission accomplished.
