You know you're a dentist when...

I had the worse nightmare last night. I dreamed my bottom 2 middle teeth had come out...lol. And my gums were inflammed and sore and all my teeth were crowded. It was terrible, I started to cry...lol. This was the worse one yet. I did dream a couple times that all my teeth had fallen out, not cute. But I think after all the years I spent in braces and all my dental work, for me to dream my teeth aren't straight anymore, that's worse than losing all of them...lol.

In other news, nothing too much is going on aside from school. I've been meeting a few guys, so we'll see how things turn out, maybe I'll find my potiential husband...lol. That's another dream...lol.

I'm not excited about all this snow, way too much coming. I feel like I'm getting sick again, I do not feel like myself at all. I've been missing my kickboxing class and everything, so I need to get this straighted out ASAP!

I applied to a new job, similar to the one I had when I was living in DC. I hope it works out, I love working in the community! Plus, I need something to keep my mind off of all this school work. I like classes and everything, but I have to keep busy with other things too or I'll go crazy thinking about school 24/7.

Well, I think that's it for now...

Relax...

Tonight was fun!!

First I went bowling with a bunch of friends from the dental school, then we went to lazer tag! I haven't done lazer tag in years...lol, so I enjoyed myself. I'm not the best bowler either but, it was still fun...lol.

I'm tired now, I have to work tomorrow too and Sunday. I have a lot of studying to do too, so busy busy busy. The weird thing is, I have more classes this semester, but I feel a less course load. I'm not as stressed. That is a good thing, and I think part of it has to do with the fact that I'm learning to not worry so much, and another part is that I'm praying more and it really relaxes me. I feel closer to God and more comfortable and happy with life in general.

I'm meeting so many people, I know a lot of ppl now...lol. Networking is always a good thing, it'll help me out in the future when it comes to bigger and better things, so I'm excited and looking forward to everything.

I had a oral presentation to do, to try and get funded for my research! Very tense and stressful weekend leading up to that point, but overall I think things went well and I was proud of myself :) Now I have to wait till March to see if I get funded, so prayfully I do. I really would like to get published, so I hope that's the next step!

Kings Feast is coming up in a couple weeks! I've been working on these decorations trying to get everything taken care of. I volunteer to help out, and then next thing you know, I'm doing everything...too much. But in the end it's worth it and I have fun and I make more friends, so I guess it works out.

I just need to make sure I'm not putting too much on myself. It's crazy because things haven't been going the way I planned, but things are working out for me regardless and I really feel blessed. I've accomplished soo much already and had wonderful opportunities and I feel like there is still a lot more for me to do. I'm only 24yrs old and I know I've had a rich life, in the sense of my experiences, education, and friendships. We'll see where things go from here, I can only go up...so I guess we'll see how high I can really go!!!!

2nd Semester

Classes start tomorrow and I'm semi excited...lol. Last semester was stressful and I had 7 classes, this semester I have 9 classes, so we'll see how this works out...lol. Last semester I worked on the weekends too, but this semester I'm going to try to cut back and prayerfully I won't have too many financial difficulties with my decision and I can focus on school and my research. I feel focused and more settled into the school, I think it'll be a good semester.

Guess what??? I'm going to be in a fashion show at the dental school for a multicultral group...LOL. I am not a model and have never done so...lol, but the group organizing the fashion show asked me a couple times so I decided to help out. I hope I don't make myself look crazy, I'll try to be fierce like ANTM...lol.

Nothing else is really going on, I'm just trying to make sure I have everything together for the week, because you can never be too prepared for this program lol. Well, I guess that's it, I'll keep you updated on my modeling skills, or lack thereof :)

New Year 2010!

New Year, New Beginnings! I'm excited to see what 2010 has in store for me!

Half way through...

I am so relieved, the semester is more than half way done. I'm tried at this point and I don't know if I'm really liking it here. I'm not sure what it is, but I feel no connection to the university. I feel like 'I fell' into being here at Michigan and it was never planned. It's a learning experience and I feel everything happens for a reason. We'll see what happens.

Next week, I finally have a less stressful week...lol. We have been in an exam period for the last 3 weeks. Hopefully, I'll get to catch up on some rest and start working on a few projects I have going on outside of academics for this summer.

Ladybugs and Nature....

I came home today and ladybugs were all over the place, the doors and windows, just everywhere. Ladybugs are okay I guess, but they are still bugs and I'm not that crazy about bugs.

One night I was coming home and I was going up the stairs leading to my apartment and a raccoon was digging in someones trash, it started watching me as much as I was watching him. It's eyes stood out so much because of the dark strip across their eyes, it was scary...lol. And then another night I'm rushing to get home because it is freezing outside, and I almost run into a deer...LOL. I see them at the most random times and they are use to people, not cool at all. It scared me to death...

I'm a city girl! I lived in Texas for awhile, but that's the most rural I've gotten. I don't like this 'nature' experience...lol. This is going to take some time to get use to, CLEARLY!

On the Grind....

Busy, Busy, Busy....lol.

If it isn't one thing it's something else. But I am still really excited about dental school and getting things accomplished. When I get discouraged, that's when I just remember the payoff in the end is worth the demand now. Everyone is real nice here and encouraging, including the students. I've been trying to get in contact with everyone possible that I feel will be able to guide me. Thus far, things seems to be going in a positive direction. I've been through so much and I feel someone or something gets in the way whenever I feel I finally have a chance. I've learned to take things slowly and one step at a time, and not rush what God has in store for me, and I feel it'll be something GREAT!

As far as love goes, I am still SINGLE...lol. Guess what??? I'm fine with that, I'm meeting so many different people right now, who knows what may happen or who I may meet.

My birthday is coming up in November! I'm excited, I think I might have to do a celebration here in A.Arbor and one in Detroit. But I'll see how things go, the closer the date I'll figure things out. Well, keep me in your prayers!
