Sensible me says "Ok brain, let's learn some stuff for the impending exam". Brain says "no way are you putting those tedious facts in my hippocampus.". Stalemate :(

"Ships Log: NOV BIRFDAY BABES UNITE!

Okay, listen up misters and misterettes, there are some very important ladies who are making another trip around the sun in NOV:

Beth Knierim, Franny, Kickapoo (kelsea) Lane and Moriah "peepsie" Ortiz!

In order to celebrate these bodacious babes' birth, we figured there is really no better way than to transform our humble home into a spaceship and teleport/beam up (scotty) YOU to our house on Fri, NOV 19th.

That's right, its outer/inner space themed! Complete with corn hole, photo corner (oh la la), and enough tin foil to make seven solar ovens with! So come with yourselves, some teleporting gear, a space ship +/- light saber, moon boots, your zero gravity suits and party goggles, cause we're gonna do some space travel.

A barrel of teleporting beverage will be provided, but BYOB, cause we don't want to end up in dry wormhole seven light years away from the liquor store.

Cordially yours,

Capt. fang."

"update: 1,000 sq feet of tin foil has been acquired. prepare."

"Capt Log:

Not joking. It's all happening right now. As we travel in this space-time continuum towards Friday evening, I just wanted to remind you to strap the colander to your dome, wrap that laser beam onto your wrist, and buckle those light sabers on tight, cause we are blasting OUT OF THIS WORLD.

Do birthdays last longer in SPACE? Come find out Friday Night as we whoop it up for some foxy lassies! All costumes are welcome, because let's be real, we might just time travel back into the Oregon Trail days.

and now for Captain's Orders:
1) no drunk driving in space, so bring your trusty DD.
2) if you haven't responded to our invite...you might as well, it will help prepare for space supplies.
3) don't you even dare think about missing this.

Boldly going where no man has ever gone before,
Fang"

"HELLOOOOO FUTURE MUSTACHE COMPADRES!!!

Just a friendly reminder that, well, we hope to see YOU at our quaint wallpaper clad digs tomorrow evening! Why? To celebrate Fernando's Birthday BASH of course!!

Also...a small proposal:

We need some killer tunes to cut the proverbial rug tomorrow evening. Whoever brings the best dance mix will win a sweet prize!!! No, not a mustache ride...maybe even better!


So strap on your drinking slippers, your dancing vest, and rub your face in poppy seeds (boulos thinks that makes stubble), cause we are gonna do it up proper!

"Hello compadres.

Update: Two sites have been reserved at San Clemente State Beach. We have Sites 111 and 112, and may need to leak/dribble/slough/weep into the next site over depending on how many folks we got.

I was thinking we could show up at our house around 1:30 and leave around 2. If you are on board, rad, if not...holla.


I assume that this is going to be a BYO EVERYTHING, but lets coordinate on things coordinatable.

Tents:
Joey's got a party tent.
Bot: do you have one?
I will prolly end up sleeping outside again. Hopefully it wont rain this time.

Firewood: gabe you on this? Also...the keg question revisited --> pony keg?

S'mores: I think I got them in the bag

Food&Beverages: firefood n stuff.

Also...more important things to bring:

Joey: dont forget the disco ball whatever you do. And some red hook to make sure Kuzmack stays
Bot: squeenches
Cinnahs: bring that southern banter
dot: shennnnnannigans.
Gabe and crew: that rad dog and some polish horseshoes?
Dito: headlamp. and never take it off. on and your crocodile killing elbows.
Manda: your locket filled with your favorite troll and favorite ninja turtle
Hamilton: that sunshine smile
peepsie: you better come in your dunteedunts
Sugi: that rare wild side I've only heard of and never done seen
Sylvester: appetite killers, ie snacks. and the angry bird pig nose.
Kicka: that sassy molassy
Kindervater: LIGHTER FLUID/ gasoline. hold on the TNT
Franny: speed skating lessons
Chris Dan: time release crack
Campground Killah: check the headlocks at the door and bring your scribe equipment.
Hoffman: bring a surprise
Ian: a cartoon idea about cologne
Beth: self defense moves


This is gonna be probably pretty big on the scale of 0-to-epic so get pumped.


all in? okay great."

Well, first exam of the year is over and still dont know my grade but its probably not gonna be great. I mistakenly thought I could have a life this weekend since it we had 3 days off to study for our Tuesday exam and it ended in disaster. After staying out late on Friday night and sleeping in far to late on Saturday, I begin to study around 6pm on Saturday night and then had about 12 panic attacks throughout the next two days as I realized I had too much information to learn in a very short time. So, Sunday I got to school at 9am and stayed until 9pm and then Monday I got to school by 9am and stayed until 5pm [only because it closed early] so then I went home and studied from 6pm to around midnight when i just gave up. You know its a lot of stuff to learn when you study that much and you STILL are unsure if you passed the exam. It was 127 questions and took me a little over 2 hours to complete.

I went out a bit last night but its back to the grind right away. I have to start getting serious about doing practice board exam questions each day. I will be working at Montclair clinic tonight [will be my 2nd time of the month] so maybe that will help motivate me to study. It helps me remember that I dont want to be stuck treating diabetics and hypertensives for the rest of my life...and to do that I need to do well on the boards so I can go into something fun like cardio [wishful thinking haha]
