So for those that don't know... my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer just a couple of weeks ago. It is scary and stressful and well, I'm sure you can come up with plenty of other descriptive words......
He had his IV port put in on Friday, and he starts chemo this Wednesday. And instead of getting to be near him and help my sister with all of this, I am trying to study for my national board exam which is coming up in November. Guess how well that's going...

Anyway...

back to trying to study.......

On the same thought-wave as Beth. A shout out to both my dad and Jerris/Andy, the ever building men I have known.

Well, one more day of tests and then Vacation! I do believe that this is the first one that I've had in well, years, that I don't have plans for. Any ideas??

I'm thinking about playing tourist. You know.... buy a guidebook and do all of those things people do in Charleston that I've not gotten around to in the last three years. Which is just about everything.

So cast your vote. What should I do next week? Beach? Spring cleaning? Carriage ride? Random hitchiking trip to Tallahassee?

All I have to say is... "that was unexpected."



Not unfortunate or unpleasant or unlikely (I suppose), but unexpected none-the-less. Or so I like to tell myself.

This being mostly for my own benefit, I won't go into further details. But I will say yeah, that is exactly what every girl wants to hear as she walks out of a door. However, think about the last unexpected thing to happen to you that wasn't also either unfortunate or unpleasant. I hope you could come up with more events than I could.

Well, I am the worst blogger ever.

I am just about to finish up my 3rd yr here at MUSC...I can't believe that I will be a senior in a little over a month. It seems that I should know what I'm doing now...enough to teach the 'tricks' to the rising Juniors. Some days I feel ready, but mostly I still feel like I want someone over my shoulder saying "yes, you really are doing this right". Soon I have to start studying again for the National Boards, application for residency...and a new life in the Air Force. All a bit daunting.

Happy note... I have already blocked out days to go to Emmy and Jerris's wedding. YEAH!!! I miss people so much... while school is good and people are nice... most everyone is married (and never do anything) or not cool enough to like "Spaced", "Naruto" and other awsome things that the gang got me hooked on.

:(

But life is good. My nieces are healthy and growing, and the wisteria vines and azaleas are blooming to beat the band. Guess I can't complain too much that I miss my Landis/FSU friends. It is good to know that everyone is doing well.

Now to clean the house before going to see Run Fat Boy Run. Simon Pegg is just awsome.
