Ulcer Fun

So I gave myself an ulcer on my eye last week. I do not recommend this approach to avoid studying. There are several much more enjoyable, much less expensive ways to put off the inevitable, although it did get me one sweet day off of my rotation and the first mid-day nap I've had since finals week my first year of school. Apparently I had some kind of sensitivity reaction to my contact lens solution which was then made worse by my ripping off precious epithelial cells each time I removed my contacts. Uuuugh. Don't get an ulcer on your eye. NOT FUN.

Anyway, over $100 and one 5 mL bottle of Tobradex later and I'm back to wheeling and dealing drugs up in Saginaw (for only EIGHT MORE DAYS!!!).

This past weekend was super special because it was my beloved's 27th BIRTHDAY!!! Oh man he's getting old. He tells his students he's 40 (for respect? I don't know) but coming up soon he won't need to. Geez. I should trade him in for a newer model. ;) Anyway, we had a little get-together at his parents' house for gift opening which was lots of fun as always. They even got him an apple pie (because he hates cake) with candles on it to blow out! Awwww. They also made him clean the gutters though, so that kind of balanced things out.

I tried my hand at jewelry making this weekend because that's something I'm interested in giving a shot post-grad. I ended up making lots of things and it was crazy fun! *EXAMPLE* Unfortunately, the whole time I was doing it all I could think was "I should be studying right now." Studying and thinking about studying is the root of all evil. ALL EVIL.

This weekend I get to chaperone Prom with Mike (:D) and then Sunday is my second BRIDAL SHOWER!! And I'll get to see my girls!! :D I'm so excited.
