I have really great crisis management skills. Exhibit A:
Me: (having a panic attack in professor’s office)
My professor: It’s okay! Just breathe. I’m not going to fail you just because you fell asleep.
Me: YOU MEAN THE WORLD ISN’T ENDING WHAT I DON’T UNDERSTAND.
Professor: When can you take the test?
Me: ANYTIME NOW LATER WHENEVER YOU WANT ME TO OHGAAWWWD

I don't want to study for a midterm.
All I want to do is watch Downton Abbey and eat pizza.
Oh harsh, cruel world.

Whenever I work a night shift and then go back to being a daytime person (which is most of the time because I have school and friends and daylight obligations), I always feel like I’ve lived an extra day.
I superficially understand that I have not lived an extra 24 hrs but since I usually only take a 3-4 hr nap after a shift and then I am up and living again by noon- 1pm, my...

“This attack by the federal government on religious freedom in our country cannot stand, and will not stand”
- John Boehner
I have a big problem with the religious argument against readily available contraception. Religious dogma has long proved totally ineffective at preventing teens from having sex, and the same arguments are used to stifle sex education in school, prevent teen...

A list about my afternoon/evening:
Finish with clinical, spend the entire ride home (ten minutes) talking about food.
Try to give blood but get denied because my body forgot to retain any iron again this month (/year/ever/alwayz).
Make pizza with trader joe’s dough.
Eat pizza made with trader joe’s dough.
Sit on couch.

Downton Abbey.
Make valentines.
Remain in denial...

I appreciate a good reminder that misogyny is not just bad for women, but bad for men as well.

– Idiot Congressman John Fleming (R-LA): “Planned Parenthood Isn’t Very Pro-Choice”
Wow. Appropriating pro-choice language AND referring to people who help primarily women as “shrill.” Freedom of speech is suddenly “intimidation” and “threats.” Awesome job, dude. Keep fighting the good fight to let...

i what who are you kidding oh my gawd so many emotions why why damnit world
Every time that I don't work for a little while
and then come back and jump right in again (like this weekend), there’s always a bit of culture shock. We joke around saying, “if you spend too much time here you’ll end up a patient too,” and there’s some degree of truth in that.
To do your job well here you have to mentally have your shit together. You have to be strong and resilient and badass and empathetic and I...

Literally the shittiest thing about this relationship is that sometimes we will be interacting in some seemingly insignificant way and I will have a sad moment while I realize that this is what I had been looking for and it’s only by having it now that I fully realize how far away I was from having it before.

Grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup.
It’s the best food combination ever.
Beats the hell out of peanut butter and jelly, anyway.

Colin was in town this weekend and we cooked/ate all the best food in the world my body thinks I am a queen now because it was so spoiled.
I will daydream about these meals into eternity. Or I will just balloon my way to happiness by making honey glazed cornbread every goddamn day.
It’s really hard to not use this as a journal right now. I am angsty and long distance is hard.
Also if my...

For every $1 you make, Mitt Romney makes $2,484.16 For Mitt to have an understanding of your day-to-day expenses, a gallon of gas would have to cost him $8,321.95, a 20 oz. soda would have to cost him $3,949.82, and a pizza would have to cost about $25,785.61. When Mitt casually bet Rick Perry $10,000 at a recent debate, that would be like you betting a friend $4.03. Consider that -...

Tonight was my roommate’s twenty-second birthday & party. It went really well, but for some reason people showed up really early (a half hour before it started?!) and I refused to turn off/stop watching Sweet Home Alabama until the party’s official start time because sometimes you just have to put your foot down about strange things. Order must be upheld. Reese Witherspoon must get...
Tonight overwhelmed me
but I came home and looked at pictures of avocado fries and felt significantly less stressed out about all the lil thangs.
Because avocado fries are lil thangs. But sooOOOooOOOoo delicious.
I am not drunk posting right now. I sober-socialized my way through tonight and it was awesome.

And yet my slow realization, after being asked (as resident student nurse/health nut person ‘round here) numerous times about “can I get pregnant if…” is that most, or at least many girls, do not know this stuff. Which means it was never taught. Which means that someone, somewhere, decided that this was not relevant information to teach adolescent and adult women.
But...

The Library of Babel by Jorge Luis Borges →
It does not seem unlikely to me that there is a total book on some shelf of the universe; (3) I pray to the unknown gods that a man — just one, even though it were thousands of years ago! — may have examined and read it. If honor and wisdom and happiness are not for me, let them be for others. Let heaven exist, though my place be in hell. Let me be outraged and annihilated, but for...
