TGIF

Im not very good at this blogging thing....I'm a litle behind Im sure.  I'll begin by saying that I went to the endodontist yesterday.  I'm going to have to have a root canal or have the tooth pulled.  Personally, I do not want to loose my tooth so I am leaning more towards the root canal.  The only downfall is they are very expensive and will not necessarily fix the problem. 

Later that day, I had an appointment for a physical.  I thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and find a doctor just in case something came up later on.  I really liked the doctor I saw.  The office had 4 doctors and 7 nurse practiconers.  Besides the size, everyone was very friendly and helpful.  The appointment went well, minus a lump that was found under my right armpit.  I have to get an ultrasound done to determine the cause.

This week has been filled with appointments, class, play time with Bogue and reading/briefing cases.  I have came to the realization that my life as I knew it is over for the next 3 years.  I have so much reading to do before classes offical begin next week.  But not only do I have to read text, but brief every case I read.  A brief is pretty much a summary of the case but broke down into difference secions.  It pretty much takes me an hour to read about 10 pages of text and brief the cases.  Luckily I've been reading little by little all week.  I'm still not close to being done.  I was going to go home this weekend & probably still will, so hopefully I can get a bulk of the reading done today. 

Honestly, nothing really exciting has happened since I've been here.  I've met two ladies in class, who are probably going to turn into my life saver.  One is really grounded and is in a long distance relationship as well.  I can relate to her in alot of ways.  I think she will keep me inline and on top of things.  The other is the complete opposite.  Dont get me wrong, she is serious about her studies but she also likes to let loose and have fun.  She also has a boyfriend, he is local but involved in his studies at UT.  She will be the one to keep me focused but also the one to make me relax and enjoy life.  Everyone else is extreming nice.  You can tell we all are going through the same emotions, we all are a little overwhelmed.  I on the other hand am just waiting on the day that I get called on in class.  I dread it, Im sure you will read a post about it at some point. 

Well, its time for Bogues afternoon play time.  (Literally, I wake up walk bogue, eat, shower, homework, break, lunch, walk bogue, read, dinner, go to class). 

Enjoy your weekend !!
