Getting there...

Things are looking up and down today. Although having a good sense of humor has definitely helped today...

Was supposed to have a phone interview last night with a hospital in the Mayo system... AT&T decided to have a network problem. Couldn't call out and had no idea if anyone else could call in. Thank goodness the woman was really understanding when I was finally able to speak with her today. Everything went well and she is going to forward my resume on to both the Urgent Care department and the Urology department. Woo!

Day before yesterday, my laptop (which to be honest had been making a GOD AWFUL noise that sounded much like a jet engine) was completely silent. Then after being on for about an hour, just decided to shut itself off. So naturally (because I'm the boss) I decided to turn it back on. How dare electronics have a mind of their own!! Sadly, it turned on, booted up, and shut right back down again. LAME.

GEEK SQUAD TO THE RESCUE... except no rescue for this one. Most likely the fan died and depending upon which fan, the cost of repair is almost as much as a new computer. Seriously? 18 days until graduation and my computer shits the bed. Balls. Soooo... I'm bringing it to them to look at anyway. Maybe there will be an early Christmas miracle and they will be able to fix it. If not, I'm not sure what the hell I'm going to do to survive my last 18 days of PA school without a computer.

Besides that... just trying to FORCE myself to focus and study for my damn boards. I'm burning out. Need a vacation desperately.

15 days until my family arrives, 17 days until graduation, 19 days until my boards, 20 days until we head out on the 30 hour drive back to MN... then freedom, sweet freedom.

I'm also not usually so much of a Debbie Downer. I'm usually quite flighty and comical. I'm just trying to sort out a lot of stuff in my head right now.

On the upside, if y'all keep following me then you'll get to see a happy ending. Because everyone deserves a happy ending. And if the universe doesn't throw one at me, I'm going to make my own happy ending.

And it starts a little something like this...

Once upon a time...
