School

This unfortunate self-portrait happened as I was trying to get a head-shot for my application to school last year. Why does it look like Zorro and I favor the same style of mustache??

Ah, my messy study room. Those are journal articles strewn about the floor in some semblance of order waiting to be read. Alas, they've been sitting there since Thanksgiving and I just try not to go in there.

In my program we have three options for our "big paper"--a thesis, a project or a literature review. I've chosen the Literature Review path but can't bring myself to actually review...I get easily distracted. Sometimes when I'm reading my texts there are still words I don't know even after all these years as a nurse (on Bouvet Island, where ever that is--small joke related to my profile) so I have to look stuff up in my medical dictionary. Everything's so fascinating I ending up endlessly browsing through the pages and pretty soon I've wasted like an hour.

Here's the great word I found:

pathfinder (path' find-er) 1. an instrument for locating urethral strictures. 2. a dental instrument for tracing the course of root canals.

Ouch!

I like the regular dictionary too but I read that when I should be practicing the cello. Lets not get confused.

I'm enjoying school, not too busy yet (hence I have time to wile away the hours on-line.)

How the heck do I get my pictures to appear between paragraphs instead of at the beginning?? Aargh!
