Cadaver Juice

It was a last minute favor for a friend who needed a ride to the airport at 11pm. I picked her up in Westwood and she gave me two gallons of whole milk. I was thinking in my head, as she put them in my car, I'm not going to be drinking that because I'm lactose intolerant. But we were in such a rush and I was so stressed out that  I didn't even bother telling her not to leave it my car. One more thing I forgot to mention, this was on Monday.

So a couple days later...I got into my car and I smell this stench. I looked around and thought "hmm I don't see any food packages." It hasn't hit me yet that I had the two gallons of milk in my trunk.

I got home and was about to head up to my apt. Turned back because I was thinking about grabbing some clothes from my trunk. As I opened the trunk this foul foul smell hits me in the face. I had ROTTEN milk EVERYWHERE!!!!! There was curd everywhere! On top of my clothes, books, all of my favorite things!!!

It smells like cadaver juice. OH gosh! What am I going to do?

Did I mention, that I'm really stressed out? Imagine the normal Linda stressed and go ahead and multiply about 9 to that. I'm about right there.

DRATS!

My Cousin Stacey's Post: She totally cracks me up...I love it. Sometimes I wonder if it's just my family that's unique.

Ode to studying... and a cup of coffee??

Tonight I was studying in the living room and my dad walked by. He took a glance at my bio textbook and saw a picture diagram of the female reproductive system. He asked, "Oh, are you studying about sea turtles?" I looked at him, and three seconds later, i nodded and said "uh-huh." It's awkward for me to explain these things to my dad. Immature? Maybe, but I would like to keep it that way.

Thought I'd share. hehe

OS Day 2

I'm really tired right now but I don't have much time left to waste. Except to update my xanga =) Then it's back to the books. So we came in this morning and we had a discussion on Emergency protocols. I learned alot and my respect for these drs went up another notch because they know so much. I'm very impressed.

My friend Nolan got drilled this morning because Dr S thought it was him that wanted his name to be remembered. How can you mistaken an asian girl and a white guy like that? Beats me? But by the end of the day, he knows me as Ngo. Weird, I feel like a boy now.

I finally got to do some procedures today. I know in about a yr or so, this is going to be second nature but for today it was just SO EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm really enjoying this. I feel like a little kid at Disneyland exploring new things and seeing things I only read about.

I had alot of delightful conversions and even adopted a grandpa today =)

Oral Surgery

So I started my oral surgery rotation today. Talk about coming in for the first day and pissing off the faculty for just showing up. My two classmates and I were kinda yelled at today. No one told him we were coming and we didn't have an orientation. No one knew what was going on, they literally just dumped us there.

I don't know why he was upset. You would think that he wouldn't be surprised considering the fact that he's been teaching at the school for how many years now? And some people from our group were already there last week. So why was he so surprised that we were scheduled this week? I guess it was just one of those days.

We grabbed our gloves and headed over to a senior to help them out. Boy I was I nervous...but by the end of the day it was all worth it. I think this was the most fun I've had, despite all the blood and trying to get someone to let me do a procedure. I was so close but at the end, it wasn't needed.

So by the end of the day, I thought it was safe to ask the faculty how we did. Boy was that a bad question. He turned to me and was like what kind of a dumb question was that. So I said "So what's a good question then?" He walked away and snapped back "You better know your stuff in the morning." And I said "You better know my name in the morning." 

And that's all folks =)

I fell in love!

I love Wikipedia!!!!

I think it's the most amazing thing ever! It literally has EVERYTHING, it's straight forward AND it's FREE!

I don't know what I would do without it. I feel so spoiled!

Do I look prego?
