death by video rental

the time seemed to drag yesterday. i think i wound myself before every anticipated presentation, only to have each one unfold in a rather unexpected manner. the first one didn't even happen. the residents kinda forgot about it, they took too long doing some other things, and before they knew it, it was time for lunch and we were done. so they just marked it off on our skills log thing (yes, we have one of those. it's like we're earning a merit badge) and we were sent on our way.

the second presentation barely happened. i was the last to go out of 4 students (because i had the most complicated patient, so he wanted to save mine for last). there were 2 hours slotted for the entire talk. it was my turn with about 15 minutes to go. i barely said anything, the attending was so busy interrupting me (he interrupted everyone). check two off for the day.

i immediately headed to the neurology conference room for the third presentation of the day, but not before making a bathroom stop. by the time i walked into the room, i was one of the last students to arrive. i was still pulling my papers out of my bag as i was being introduced. i didn't even have time to think about being nervous, and suddenly, i'm presenting and then it was over.

huh.

i came home last night with high hopes of going out and getting good and fired up. erin's in town, and so is soup, and tomorrow's schlarb's birthday. but instead i heated up some leftovers and proceeded to pass out on the couch about 3 times before going to bed at 11pm. i think i exhausted myself this week from sheer worry. that explains why i'm up so early on a saturday.

while tidying up the living room this morning, i found two DVDs that amy had rented from blockbuster... the day after new year's... on my card. FUCK. and they're from the state street blockbuster, which means i have to park and walk. in this snowstorm. FUCK. and they called me about a week and a half ago, to tell me they were going to kill me if i didn't return these soon. i'm so dead.

and one for the road: inauguration protest pics, via metafilter.
