You look like I need a day off...

Well, hello again.

Last week was a week worth remembering to forget. Actually, it wasn't that bad -for me. I was woken up at 4:15 am routinely; my girlfriend is suffering from Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (for all you soon to be med students this simply means an ear that wont "pop" because of "stuff" clogging up an inner-ear drainage tube) which causes headaches, earaches, dizziness, disorientation, sensitivity to sound, and a bunch of other really horrible symptoms.

I stumbled around the house looking for my "rice sock" (a make-shift heating pad made by putting rice into a sock). After locating the rice sock in the dimly lit bedroom, I put it in the microwave and placed it on my girlfriends ear to help reduce pain and to loosen up the mucus buildup.

Learn how to make a rice sock here. Of course, I knew how to before this article.

I attend my POLS 1100 class at 10 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Friday's lecture was decent. We learned about Institutions. A girl that sits next to me was amazed to find out that gambling is illegal here in Utah, and had a hard time wrapping the idea that beer sales were prohibited on Sunday in 80% of our state.

After class, I drove home to check on the love of my life. She was doing ok. So I made her so bruch (waffles, eggs, bagels, orange juice, milk, applesauce, and love). I had about an hour to hang out, and then it was time to jet off to my CHEM 1010 class. We learned about the structure of elements - we also played with beans (using the varying been color and size to represent Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons).

After class on friday, I went to go sign my W-4. That's right! Those nice folks down at PR hired me! I realized I didn't have my Social Security Card; I thought I had lost it years ago. I went to the Social Security office and waited for an hour just to get told that what I needed wasn't printing out from the computers. So, I ordered a new card anyways and left. I called my mother in a last desperate attempt at finding my papers. She told me to check at her house, and i found my SSC, Birth Certificate, and Passport. I was relieved. I went back to meet with the really nice lady that was having me sign forms. After that, I ran home. By this time, I am just pooped.

I took it easy for the weekend, taking 3 tests; 1 political science test, 1 CPT (college placement test), and my philosophy test. I did well on all of them -thank goodness.
