The Sweet Potato Life

On days like today, despite sleep deprivation and having a PAINFUL 7am Public Health Lesson, I continue to be thankful that I am where I am! I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world! ... not even BRAZIL!!! okay, maybe hanging out with some of you, but you know what I mean!

We took our first Exam of the Quarter... Not too bad... Health Care Terminology.  A good warm up for what is to come! I am loving biochemistry because there is no chemistry involved and my teacher is HILARIOUS ... Sometimes I laugh myself to tears ... and I'm pretty sure a girl turned around and told me "it really isn't that funny" ... she was joking of course, but you get the gist!!! Chiropractor's aren't biochemist, they are chiropractors and need to know the concepts not necessarily the structures... I don't question this philosophy, I just appreciate it!!! 

My new obsession of the week: Alexandra Sweet Potato Fries with Tara's aoli sauce! 

They may be cheap, but I get my thrills where I can! 

And yet another picture of my new digs...

This is where Sheri and all of you will be sleeping when you come to visit... just kidding I'll let you have my Temperpedic bed (aka the aerobed)!

Another Wednesday full of Ishkabbible

They have begun... midterms that is! I can't believe it is ONLY week 3! I've got 13.75 more quarters to go. OH MY!  It is so odd because with school and studying and clubs and seminars and assemblies and decompressing from listening to professors exclaim ISHKABBIBBLE and spell "HYPOGLOSSAL," it seems as though time has flown by!!!I miss California, but I haven't had a spare moment to dwell on the fact that I am no longer there! I'm sure it will hit me sooner or later.  I hope to get out and explore a little more of Atlanta and the surrounding areas...but I've got to get this schedule down before I do too much venturing.

By the way this is a picture of the local landmark here in Marietta...Literally, EVERYONE gives directions according to where the BIG CHICKEN is... "take a right at the big chicken"... totally hilarious!!!

The New Digs

My Roommate: Tara (Tahrah or Taritta) Isn't she adorable! She is my food guru and decorating goddess!

Notice the cost-effective mirrored blacksplash! Hard to believe they have such an affinity for water and grease!
My room... Difficult to see, because it's all floor level. Still waiting to get a bed. Surprisingly the aero-mattress and my down are working wonderfully! Almost as great as a Temperpedic.

Snow Falling in Hotlanta

A snowman in Virginia-Highland Neighborhood of Atlanta...

W.E.D.N.E.S.D.A.Y. N.I.G.H.T. at Azalea

This is my Wednesday Face!

Such gumption, enthusiasm and cheesiness is required for days like today! Seven hours of class. Four of which I listened to a man who loves to spell... E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.!!! and what fun that can be when you are learning about all things reproductive;)  Oocyte...O.O.C.Y.T.E. -catch my drift. (I kept it clean, it was much worse in reality)

My new favorite word:  "ishkabbible" 

-Dr. Silverman's explanation of something you may not know, but understand... yeah, kinda confusing, Huh Hah!

And let's not forget my favorite catch phrase:  "Lock n' Load"

-that's what DC students are supposed to do when they learn something pertinent!
