Since U Been Gone

WOW. I feel like I have been away FOREVER. It was so hard not to check Blogger, but it was definitely something that I needed to do so I could focus on studying. Even as it was, my exams were still really hard. Well, not ALL of them. Just Dermatology, really. But it overshadowed everything, and all I can think about is how hard that exam was. I mean, what do they expect when they give us a picture on the computer of a lump on a dog, and then ask us to list differential diagnoses for what it could be. I can't touch it, palpate it, look at it from different angles, get closer to it; nothing. Of COURSE it's going to difficult. The only thing that makes me feel better is that all the rest of my class found Derm extremely difficult, too. So much so, that apparently a bunch of people emailed the course coordinator to tell her they thought that they failed. I honestly don't think I failed; I don't think I did very well on Derm, but I definitely don't think I failed. So our course coordinator emailed everyone and told us that every year, people email her thinking they failed Derm, and very few people actually do. I hope that stopped people from freaking out, because it's freaking me out!

In other news, both of my roomies have left for summer, and I am still hanging around to take a summer course for one more week, so it's just me and my cat for a week before I go home. That means I am currently doing a liquid fast! :) I am going for today and Sunday definitely, and beyond that, I don't know. Monday my class begins, so I will have to be at school, and I will be there for lunch. I won't be around my normal friends, but it will still be obvious if I don't pull out something to eat during that time. Also, I don't want to slow down my metabolism a whole bunch, so I might start eating solid foods again on Monday. But we'll see. Right now, it is exactly 2:07pm, and I have had two cups of coffee. Up until now, I haven't felt too hungry, but I am definitely feeling hunger pangs now. I am going to wait a little longer, and have some juice or ginger ale or something. I am not going totally calorie-free during this liquid fast, because I fasted for one day before on nothing but black coffee and water, and it was disastrous. The next day when I woke up, I blacked out and then I had to drag myself to the bathroom. So I will be giving myself some liquid calories, but not TOO much. That would totally negate all the reasons for fasting.

I got a dress the other day that I can almost zip up. It's size 0, from J.Crew, SOOOO cute, and I will be wearing it to some weddings I am going to this summer. I am hoping that my liquid fast will get me to zip it up all the way.

Alright, time for some MAJOR blog reading, so I can catch up on all you lovelies and see how you're doing!

Love you, Skinnies!
