The Random Phone Call

As I sat at the table diligently (or as diligently as possible on a beautiful afternoon such as this) studying neoplasms, the telephone rang. I picked up. . .

"Hello!"
Lady's voice [rapid and tense, 28-30ish]: "DON'T SAY THAT. DON'T SAY WE'RE SLIPPING AWAY FROM EACH OTHER!!!"
Me [Very confused- wondering what's wrong with saying 'hello']: "what?!huh/"
*pause*
Me [still confused]: "excuse me?!!"
Lady [very nice and apologetic]: 'I'm so, so sorry... I must have dialed the wrong number. I'm so sorry'
Me [unable to control myself]: *laugh* "uh, that's ok" *not sure what to say*
Lady [nice and sweet]: "Well, at least you got a laugh out of it." *small laugh*
Me [as she hangs up]: "sorry. . .hope it works out."

Isn't that the most random phone call? I think she's right, though. "I feel like we are slipping away from each other" is such a lame excuse. Don't ever say that. Relationships aren't passive...if you're "slipping away" from each other its always because of a deeper problem (i.e. bad communication, lack of committment). So, beware of those who use "we are slipping away" as an excuse for ending a relationship. They need to find a real, legitimate reason and/or to learn to deal with issues in relationships instead of making excuses.

Its monday morning!

Monday morning of week #4 of my second year of medical school. Molecular Pathology- how exciting! Today, we get a free scoop of Baskin Robbin's ice cream! Yay! CMA is this afternoon. Then, I have the whole rest of the afternoon to study at Barnes and Noble before bible study at 7:00. Its going to be a wonderful day!

What is that smell???

Today, while searching for wheat germ, I discovered a bloated, putrid can of tuna fish in my kitchen cupboard. It reeked of rotten flesh and was infested with maggots. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!! I controlled my retching sufficienty to pitch in the trash. After disinfecting the cupboard and a few hours of Yankee Candle therapy, our lovely yellow kitchen reeks no more!

Here I am with one of the precious kids in South Africa 

Dad fixed his famous pancakes, eggs, coffee, and bacon on the backyard grill. Yummy! 

Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to my blog! This is the first time I have done anything like this! I'm excited to have something else to distract me during Dr. Lill's Pathology lectures. :) I hope you visit often and enjoy exploring!!
