Studying

I want to eat something right now, but I won't. I promise all of you that. I will wait until my roommates get home from the dog wash so I can eat a small dinner in front of them. Besides, it's almost 4pm, and one of my rules is not to eat ANYTHING after 4pm, because I absolutely hate eating dinner if my stomach isn't already growling. I want to feel truly hungry before I stick any semblance of dinner into my mouth. I don't even drink anything after 4pm until I have dinner. I'll just keep studying. Studying really makes the hours pass so quickly. It's like I look up, and a whole hour has passed! Nice when I am trying not to think about food or how hungry I am.

I was 128.5lbs this morning. Fail. One of my friends has fail and win stamps and I want to put FAIL on my forehead. And to think I wanted to be 120 by tomorrow. Ha. Laughable. New goal: 7 lbs. in 7 days. So by next Saturday, I will be 121.5lbs. when I wake up in the morning.

I am going to a cocktail party tonight. Hmm. I am not going to have food, that's for sure. I am going to go for two glasses of wine. I hate beer, so if that is at the party, I won't even be tempted. The party is right upstairs in the apartment above mine, so that's sweet. If I want to leave, it's only a short trip down the stairs.

I had to do my taping this morning at the vet school's animal hospital. We have to tape our patient history and physical exam to then be critiqued on our interaction with the patient and owner. I thought it went pretty well. I am always good with people, and obviously I am good with animals, or else I wouldn't be in this career, but I was still nervous. Once I got in the exam room, I forgot about the camera, though, and my jitters went away. It was on a 16 month old cat, and she was bad last time she came in for vaccines, but she was good today. We sprayed some cat pheromone called Feliway on a towel and then put it on the exam table for her to sit on. It seemed to calm her down alot. Apparently, she tried to bite one of the students and then flew off the table last time they tried to take her temperature, but this time she only hissed. I think I would hiss at someone too if they were trying to put something up my butt!

That's all for now.

Love you, Skinnies!
