picture pages...

Soooo I thought i might take some pictures... they are pretty random, so i'll try to explain... from left to right:

1) 3 days after it snowed afew weeks ago, i looked out my window to see that my big snowman was looking alot smaller... someone had knocked him halfway down! i saw som elittle kids there and i kinda just assumed they were the ones who did it... but after i watched for a minute, i saw that they were actually building it back up to correct snowman proportion... it kinda made me happy that i was wrong about them
2) 2/14/06... being my first single valentines day since 2003, i figured it would be pretty crappy... but i just decided i'd buy some little things for afew single girls i knew and spread the love and just be happy anways... and it worked. I had a visit to my applied therapeutics class (the one where we present, discuss, and get questioned on patients at a memphis hospital) i decided to go for the pink tie and pink-ish shirt to celebrate the holiday

3) OK... so there is this poster of a half naked girl that says "study hard" at the house... the last guy who lived here was somehwat of a patriarch and his last request before he left was that we leave that poster up... and when i was putting together our fraternity composite pictures, the photographer brought some large prints from last year, and i was just one of the random one he brought... so he let me have it and then i had the idea to put it up over her face... i mean.. the tie kinda matches... it creeps some people out... but i like it.

4) these are the movies i've got right now... 2 of them arent mine, and 2 of them are kinda weird ones that i wouldnt have bought myself but someone got FOR me for a present "go" and "true romance"... so i really dont have that great of a selection... i mean... i've actually got 4 or 5 more decent movies around here... i just need to round them up and put them in their place...

5) ok so i was looking at my book case... and i figured it was time to do a lineup of some of the heavy hitters... and i figued i'd stand on it... i dunno... YES i know everyone has big books from undergrad or law school or wherever, and i'm not trying to say my stack is bigger or better (and thats not all of them, by the way)... just saying... they make a nice little stack...

6) thats a closer look at them... added the tennis ball for comparison

7) thats my bedside table... if you notice, there are a handful of drugs there... and i promise you, they are all either ibuprofen, or tylenol... just in different dosage forms- extended release, quick release... why are they there? because when you wake up every single night with pretty bad hip and leg pain... its not a matter of IF you need to take something to go to sleep, its a matter of how SOON you can get it in you and go back to sleep so you arnt up for an hour and a half... so the quicker the better...

8) thats my computer desk... i've got a desk directly behind that chair, that i can put pharmacy stuff on so i can just turn my chair around 180 degrees and be at a totally different desk... it works... and let me say... if you've got an extra monitor, and a computer with a port to add in an additional monitor, DO IT! it is so awesome being able to multi-task... aka- watch movies on one, and type on the other... chat on one, and read on the other... its seamless- i can tell you how if you want to know... but its really changed the way i surf- i totally recommend it...

9) lastly, thats me in front of the poster i have hanging over my mirror in my room--
it has a picture of a guy holding up his fist and smiling while showing the camera a C- history test... the quote at the bottom says "SUCCESS: It may pay to get As but Cs get degrees" and under that in smaller text "ancient chineese proverb"... which i dont really think it is... ha...
but its something inspirational to look at for those of us who still have to measure our inner worth by one of 5 letters... yikes... i think i'll be glad when thats not happening anymore...

other than that... all is going well... we have or "white coat ceremony" this week where we get our custom fitted jackets with our names inscribed on them and the special "UT college of pharmacy" patch on the right sleeve... woot... i just like all the pockets... i try to put something in every single one just so i feel like i'm getting all the worth i can out of them...
