It's Friday, Friday!

I guessed correctly.  Over break, I realized that I only had one more Friday without hearing that annoying Rebecca Black song until Thanksgiving break.  For some reason, it became an in-joke with the class to the point where I'd hear it on the order of 10-20 times a week.  Today, the first Friday of D2, didn't disappoint. There was plenty of "Friday" action.

We had a Perio quiz at 8 am.  It was a 10 question quiz worth 10% of our final grade, so you can do the math.  I think it went well, mostly because it was very similar to previous quizzes.  We then had a lecture for Perio that mostly consisted of the prof making jokes.  Somehow we ended up with a generous, three hour break, so my buddy and I went for a nice walk.  We saw turtles, fish, and a ton of Peanuts!  (A friend once told me she calls all toddlers 'Peanuts' because they have huge heads like the cartoon characters.  It stuck.)  The Peanuts were taking a walk and generally being adorable by holding hands with their assigned buddy. One Peanut said hi to my friend and me, and upon receiving an enthusiastic reply, the dam broke.  Every single Peanut insisted on saying hi on their way through.  Super adorable.  After lunch was Hematology.  I really like the man who is currently teaching, so this wasn't too bad.  Finally, we had an hour of Diversity Education, which was basically a stand-up comedy session with a little controversy added in.  Suffice it to say that a classmate stuck his foot in his mouth.

GBB and I then had a super yummy dinner of Cajun/Creole food and watched Harry Potter (7-1) in preparation for tomorrow's HP 7-2 screening.  We decided to pre-order tickets for Saturday so that we would (hopefully) miss the crazies.  =)  Now it's beddy-bye!  We're basically grandparents, we're so boring.  I honestly prefer it that way, though.

Today's nails were a half-moon manicure featuring yesterday's Color Club Revvvolution for the half-moons and Color Club Worth the Risque for the rest.  I thought this was a nice (quick) way to spice up a perfectly good manicure instead of removing it all.  I was very pleased with this manicure except that I've got quite a way to go with technique.  For my first try, however, I think it's acceptable.  I used paper hole protectors for a guide.  Let me know if you have any tips or tricks!

Almost Friday!

I managed to forget about blogging, but I'm counting this one as being on time for Thursday because it's not yet Friday in most of the USA.  =)

Today was pretty standard.  We had our 8 am class (Hematology) and it wasn't bad.  We learned about hemophilia, which was confusing/counterintuitive at first but interesting.  Then we had a Perio lecture.  Our quiz is tomorrow, and I'm feeling decent about it.  I didn't do much preparation because a. the previous years' quizzes (up to a few years back) were almost exactly the same and b. most of the information at this point is really intuitive.  I guess I'll know in a few hours how it went!

I decided to paint my nails with Color Club Revvvolution.  It is a really nice, black/charcoal holographic polish!  I was shocked and pleased to find that it applied evenly and became opaque after ONE coat.  That, along with its lack of bald spots, is nearly unheard of for a holographic polish.  Needless to say, I'm pleased.  My best guy friend from school remarked that it reminded him of the sparkly paint on a bass fishing boat.  Since I've literally never touched a worm in my life, I'll take him at his word and also convince myself that was a compliment.  =)  I wasn't able to get a sunlight picture to capture it in its sparkly glory, but I used the flash to fake it.

Enjoy a dental-related shameless scare tactic:

Moral of the story: BRUSH.  YOUR.  TEETH.

Love!

Pink Wednesday

Today was rather uneventful.  We had our first Complete Denture class today at 8 am followed by instrument check-in down in the lab.  That's where we get our roughly $7k of instruments that we purchased for the year.  It's amazing how compact $7k of instruments can be!  After lunch was Path.  AGAIN the prof beat the dead horse that is reading the book.  AGAIN she blatantly said she thinks we'd fail if we read the second edition instead of the third.  Seeing as I haven't actually completed a reading assignment in...ever... we'll see how this goes.

After class ended at 2 pm, I spent an hour or so downloading fonts and formatting my own day planner.  I spent hours in stores and on the internet trying to find a planner that suited me and never could, so I decided I'd make my own.  Hopefully I'll have pictures soon.  I spent the evening picking up the apartment and managed to put together a DVD rack/shelf from Target in 26 minutes!  I was pleased with myself.  =)

In honor of Mean Girls, today's manicure was pink.  I used Color Club's Jackie Oh!  It is an eye-searing neon pink that looks like it was extracted from radioactive highlighters.  I spent a lot of time trying to accurately represent the color in photos, but it's impossible.  If you don't own it, trust me that it is BRIGHT.  Take a peek!

Remember to floss!
