nocturnal

I need a car!!! Took a break from the search in light of exams, but now I’m back at it, and I think I’ve found The One. A lovely silver 2001 Honda Civic, in decent shape with low mileage (very badass, I know).  I haven’t actually seen the car in person yet, but it’s the first ad that’s had me this excited. Not to sound totally insane, but I could see this being my car and having that special car-owner relationship with it. Uhm, yeah.

"Window-shopping" for shoes with my new Amazon Prime Student account, trying in vain to resist the lure of free shipping. I recently ordered some Spanx in case my yet to be purchased Medball dress was on the tight side. Despite following their sizing chart, it appears they are too small 🙁  I got the strapless ones that sit right below the bra line, and while they work wonders on my tummy, they also roll down from the top, giving me hideous, unnatural love handles..on my back!  Fortunately I can return or exchange them for a larger size. Still debating which.

We had a tornado scare last night. The city emergency alert system went off and everything. Not having grown up in the Midwest, I had to google what it is you’re supposed to do in case of a tornado. Then I packed up Fuzzy Butt and headed down to the basement, where a bunch of my neighbors were already congregating. The storm was intense, but I think it was a false alarm in terms of an actual tornado. Livened up my night, at any rate.  

Not much else to say. Attended a pediatrics physical exam workshop today – soo much fun! I got to peer inside the tiniest baby ear ever. We’ve only ever practiced the ear exam on adults, so it was a bit scary.  Thankfully mom was a pediatrician herself and helped out by holding the child’s head perfectly still. Being the youngest in my family, I haven’t had much experience with kids, but I think I rather enjoy interacting with them. Definitely keeping peds specialties on the table.

It’s 5 am. In one to two hours I will feel tired and proceed to sleep until 2 or 3 in the afternoon. It’s official. When left to my own devices I am truly nocturnal.
