Orange Bowl Blues

The Orange Bowl. Two teams I care very little about, except to know that FSU has too many season losses to really deserve to be there. I'm watching anyway because I love football. It will also give me conversation to contribute during tomorrow's dissection. Did I mention I'm taking an anatomy refresher course just for 4th year students?

I haven't felt all that great today. I had a migraine last night that left me feeling pukey. I woke up this morning with this dreadful feeling that I don't want to be a doctor and don't want to start a residency. When I walked into the anatomy lab, the smell of the preservative hit me and the pukey feeling from last night came back in full swing. I stomached the smell for about 90 minutes and then snuck out. I came home and slept for 3 hours, woke up, and felt a bit better. Hopefully tomorrow we go better. I did talk to a few classmates who admit they woke up with a feeling of dread, as I did. I guess we're all tired of being medical students. Tired of the debt. Tired of not knowing where we will all be in 6 months, and most importantly, tired of being broke.

One thing had the potential to brighten my day somewhat. One of my favorite chefs, Giada de Laurantiis, is going to be here later this month giving a talk on healthy italian cooking. My mom called today to get us tickets, and of course they are sold out.

The way my day is going, FSU will win the orange bowl.
