Hello Hello!

So no one saw my first post (see comment on Chris's original post). I'm still figuring this stuff out...Kim, how do I change the notification to go to my gmail instead of my yahoo account? I guess it doesn't really matter, but I'm set up on this thing via my gmail.

Anyway, yet again unable to sleep (it's 4am), I think I'm doing too much thinking. Em, I know where you are coming from with all of your emotions, but just remember to enjoy your first year. Mitchell loves you, every time you feel crazy girl coming on, write it here and maybe we can help first before putting all that burden onto him (or call us, I will always try to be available to at least answer calls and chat for a few minutes). Number one thing I think I forgot to tell you; don't get caught up feeling sorry for yourself about all the shit you have to do and how hard it is. He'll listen for a while, but that is one of my friends Kristen's biggest complaints about her med school bf Matt, she's got issues she'd like to discuss, but for some reason his complaints are so much more important than hers (because he's in med school and blah blah blah) so she never really gets to vent to him, but has to hear it all. They are doing ok, but I know that not feeling like a partner in their relationship (or being de-valued) has really put a strain on them, it's a common theme I've seen all last year.

Chris, I love what Kim said about just planning your birthday! I think that is a great idea. Amazingly I have nothing scheduled for the wknd of Halloween (i.e. no tests the following Monday). I love the idea of going then!! I have a feeling that people from my class might want to do that again, although there weren't as many people all dressed up and crazy for Halloween like you would have thought. We had about 30 plus people all dressed up in Viking costumes, so we were pretty noticeable. I would love it though if we could put a theme to dressing up...maybe like the superheros theme (yes, I stole this from Mikha and Greg but don't tell them, it really is a good idea)...I mean, how many times do you get to wear your wonder woman costume Chris??? Vegas with you girls would be amazing. We could also do a champagne brunch and celebrate your late birthday and my early birthday :)

Okay, this blog only took me 10 minutes to write, I was hoping to waste more time :( But, maybe I'll go shower and try this whole new curling my hair thing. I know it's retarded, but I haven't seen Brent in three weeks and I want to look really hot. Haha, how ridiculous! He is picking me up at the airport, we're going to have some "alone" time and then he's going camping and leaving me to fix up the apartment! I'm actually really excited about having it to myself to beautify, and I think my friend Kristen is coming over, so some girl time with her will be good.

I can't believe it is already Aug. Life goes so quickly. I'll keep you all posted on how things are going, the next three weeks are going to be boring with Endocrine, but then we get into Cardio and I'm sure I'll have questions to ask you Kim. Also, I'll know where I'm headed for my third year by Nov 9! I might even be up in Washington Taren!

Love you all lots, keep us posted!
