Update, its been a while

Wow, a lot has happened since I last updated this.

Let's start with my nervous breakdown. Hah! I wish I was kidding, but I'm kind of serious. I had a breakdown regarding work. My final year as a student is coming up and first of all I haven't applied myself enough since surgery, second when I do apply myself I get so frustrated with it, and third, holy crap I'm going to have to find a job if I finish my dissertation (and that feels like a BIG IF).

Also regarding work, I now have to teach. Its not because I don't have funding, but rather for "the experience." Never mind that I have quite a bit of teaching experience (Bio I and II lectures and labs, Anatomy lectures and labs) the head of our department isn't giving us a choice in the matter. I am more than displeased. Its not that I don't like teaching, its fine, I just don't have the freaking time to do it!

My one year surgery anniversary has come and gone. I'd lost 175 at that point, well still sitting at 175 lost actually. I saw my surgeon and he wants me to go back to doing protein shakes because I am a failure, I am not losing enough. Blah blah blah.

Hehe that reminds me of Arrested Development, the Bob Loblaw Law Blog. That show rocked. If I like it, it will be canceled.

We almost decided to move into our friends' house, but ended up backing out. Now we hope they don't hate us. Sorry Barbi and Joe. We weren't sure how long we'd have to pay rent on the apartment before it got rented out again, and I wasn't sure I could finish my dissertation if I had distractions. I am sad that I won't get to play with the doggie though... and the big kitchen. I am also sad that we won't be saving money after all and digging ourselves out of a financial black hole.

Hmmm, what else? Ryan changed jobs again. He is working online so his school schedule can be more flexible. It helps with the car-sharing situation too. I am also working online, but only a little bit, to generate a little extra cash.

Movie reviews

Tropic Thunder - B. I am almost ashamed that I enjoyed it as much as I did. It reminded me of the Ben Stiller show, it was like one long Ben Stiller show sketch. Robert Downey Jr. was especially hilarious. It was completely ridiculous, and hilarious.

Step Brothers - B. Speaking of ridiculous and hilarious, this one was better than expected. It was pretty damn funny too. (Note to self, I need to see a serious film soon).

Dr. Strangelove - B-. Wow. That's one crazy flick. I liked it but wow.

Run Ronnie Run - C. Geez I've watched some crazy-ass movies lately. This was a very special movie, but I was chemically altered at the time so you might not want to trust this rating.


So there you go, my life in 500 words or less. Not very interesting, but I'm keeping busy. I'll post some pictures or something again soon.

Adios!
