studying.

or should i say "studying"... because i've been here at my most favorite coffee shop in the quad city area for an hour and a half and have yet to crack a book or answer a single online practice question. but that's about to end. right after i finished this update. because i know how important the updating is to my friends and family. :-)

the awfully slow doctor complimented my progress note writing ability today. it made me slightly less disgusted with his slowness today. that and it's thursday and i have thursday afternoon off. and who doesn't love an afternoon off??

my favorite barista, lizz, asked me about why the honey jar says not to give honey to babies earlier. so i guess that's kind of like studying. because i totally knew... don't want no floppy babies! (for those who might not know, honey can have botulism spores in it which create the same toxin used for botox injections, which, if ingested by babies leads to floppy baby syndrome. and floppy babies are bad, just so you know.)

i just got off the phone with my good friend sarah. i miss her. she's almost done with her year of rotations in detroit. she's sick of school too. i'm going to see her the first weekend of september and that will be fun! this is another of the pictures she just sent me from my time in detroit. those were good times.

by the way, does anyone else think that ticker is moving waaaaay too slow?!?

Jen said...

No, I think my baby's ticker is moving WAY too fast! haha! Guess it is all in how you look at it...

Totally laughed out loud about the floppy baby thing...

P.S. What is Floppy baby? LOL!

Love ya!

yeah, floppy baby is bad... so, if you inject tiny amounts of botox into a wrinkle, it relaxes those muscle fibers holding the wrinkle in place and makes the wrinkle disappear. if you ingest larger quantities of botox (or BOtulism TOXin), all of your muscles relax causing "floppy" baby... meaning, they can't move any muscles... not even the ones they use to breath. it's a bad deal.
