hee hee... the selfish side of me is quite happy today. Sorry Carolyn Kate won't be with you in Orlando... but i'm happy she'll be in Chicago. I tried not to sway her decision, so hopefully my bias didn't come out... though I am sure she was very aware of it... hee hee. So anyway. I got a blood test today... and i survived my fear of needles without passing out. When I was in 6th grade I had to get this shot to go to India. I was so anxious the whole time before the office. When we go there we all 3, my sisters and I, all went into this littly room with a fire engine examining bed. My older sister went first, typical of the first child, and it was as if nothing happened...she was quite mature about the whole thing. Since I was scared I told my younger sister to go next. She climbed up onto the table without a worry in the world. But when she got the shot she screamed bloody murder and started crying and saying how much it hurt. My older sister is a real trooper and would never break down under pain. So needless to say, after my sister's tantrum i was not ready for my turn. I started running around the office, hiding under examination tables, and screaming 'I don't want to go anymore'. My mom was chasing me, all the while telling me to calm down and behave. The doctor, who is rather elderly, was huffing around trying to cut me off. I still remember the way the combed over portion of his snow white hair kept bouncing. Even in distress I thought it was funny when he would swipe it back into place so that he could see me and try to catch me. Needless to say, they caught me. I got the shot. And it didn't hurt. So the drama was over... yeah, right. It had just begun. So on the ride home I proceeded to tell my mom 2 mins into the drive (10 mins. after the shot), 'Mom, I think I am going to...' I had managed to pass out in the back seat of our mini van. Though there was no backseat, we had taken it out for the luggage, so I ended up hitting the ground. AFter that pandimodium broke lose as my mom kept yelling at me to get up and my sisters were looking at me from their seats in front of where I was. Needless to say I haven't lived that down. I went the other day to the same old pediatrician and got a hepatitis shot (again for India). The whole time I was there they all kept telling me to behave and relax. That it won't be that bad. They got new examination tables that are solid, so there is no where to hide, a point they quickly made sure to state. So anyway... that's a little story for today. Now its time to get back to the stress, group projects, studying... etc. Or maybe its time to go eat, shop, and take a drug test (for my soon to start job).

Well its back to the regular hum-dum of school life... But luckily there is only three weeks left. I am sad, yet excited. I can't wait. Soon I'll be done and entering the real world. Kate got a job today... very exciting. She'll be working at FBOP. ITs ironic really. We have both taken very different routes in college... but now we will both be bankers! Maybe there is something about personalities suiting a certain profession. Considering how well we get along, maybe we will be 'good' bankers. But anyway...

The rest of break passed like it started. A lot of opinions flying around with few solutions achieved... and of course I was caught inbetween most of it. But oh well, we all go over it. So anyway...
