Board-om
Hi. It's been quite a while since I touched base. I'm currently studying like a mad woman for my quickly-approaching board exam in T minus 11 days. I'm exhausted, the material is endless, and the stakes are high. This past week was particularly tiring because school started again for our intensive 2 week endodontics (read: root canal) camp. Just like last spring when we had prophy (read: cleaning) camp, the misnomer is egregious; there are no popsicles, ghost stories, or tan lines in sight. Just root canals and lectures. From 8-5. Followed by 6 hours at the Grad library. Everyday.
At any rate, enough about my currently pathetic quality of life. I just thought I'd check in to say I'm here, I need a beer, get over it.
Also, here's a plea to please keep me (and Josh!) in your thoughts. I need some serious positive energy right now to stay focused and motivated. I'm still not 100% sure whether I'm sticking with my self-chosen test date of the 23rd (then again, will I ever feel ready for an exam covering material from the past 6 years of my science education?) but I'm preparing as though I am for the time being. I'll keep ya'll updated.
Hang in there friends. It may be a while before I post again.

p.s. - the baby-longing hiatus didn't last for too long. Today on a facewash-n-barsoap trip to Target I found, hugged, and very seriously considered purchasing a tiny fleece blanket embroidered with a cartoon brontosaurus and the words "snuggle saurus". I also squealed over the matching "baby saurus" bib. Honestly, baby saurus? You're killing me, people!

hey--i'm an old college pal of tanya's (and i read yr blog from time to time...you and tkp have a talent for blogging!)
the baby longing doesn't ever go away until you have one--then it either cures it (because, like me, you realize you love #1 so much you can't fathom adding #2) or because babies are addictive and amazing!
just remember when you hold those baby blankets--you have a whole child, not just a baby!
just stay away from the baby lotion aisle...that will really make the ache worse!
I'm sending all my strength to you and Josh. I just finished with my piddly little stats exam and I'm exhausted. I can't imagine having to do BOARDS. But if my idiot dentist from my childhood could do it, I'm sure that you can too! (Or maybe that certificate in his office was a fraud!)
My comment is not at all related to your boards but I thought it would nevertheless put a grin on your grill. The World Finals for Odyssey of the Mind are taking place this week in East Lansing. It made me think of you. Good luck to both of you on the big test!!
