The Cinematic Orchestra-To Build a Home

I went home for the weekend, and left my toothbrush there. I meant to pick up a new one after school yesterday, but forgot. My dirty little confession: I haven't properly brushed my teeth since Monday morning. :X The best I've done is flossed and rinsed with mouthwash. But I bought one today, so I'm so looking forward to giving my pearly whites some TLC tonight! Is this TMI? Whatever.

Correatown-All The World (I Tell Myself)

Rainy Tuesday. Just caught a few episodes of Friends.. I honestly LOVE this show. I haven't seen it in a while, but it was perfect "unwinding" tv, especially with the weather. It never ever fails to make me laugh, even though I've seen almost every episode, multiple times.

Anyway. We opened the skull today in Gross Anatomy. My group's brain oozed out and was mushy so we had to throw ours away. And I passed one of my Class II #18 tooth preps! After mucho failing. One more to go..

Edit. I have to include this quote from the NYT for the day, on how competitive getting into preschool/private school is these days. It is disturbing yet amusing: "One of the lucky 17 who got into Trinity’s kindergarten class with no previous connection to the school, and who helps make it diverse, is the daughter of Rajeev Bhaman, a portfolio manager, and Gala Prabhu, a management consultant. The low acceptance rate led the couple to apply to nine schools in a process Mr. Bhaman described as 'my full-time job for four months' and 'way more difficult than anything I’ve done academically in my life, including applying to university in America from India.'"

Ridiculous.

Unexpected finds

I went to the outlets today. I didn't expect to find anything I would be excited about, but ended up buying my first pair of ankle boots, thanks to the Labor Day sales going on. The price was right, and the boots have an understated/simple but classic look which I like. This actually makes me look even more forward to the colder weather.. got big plans for these!

Guilty pleasures

I hate to admit it, but one of my guilty pleasures is watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Yes, they can be shallow but at the same time I love watching the family dynamics. Plus it's nice to escape reality for a bit and get sucked into another world that is very different from mine. E! has been playing episodes all day this week, so it'll be on when I get home from school and I'll watch an episode or two. It's so mindless that it helps to forget the stresses of the day lol.

I saw some of the marathon today but missed the newer episodes. Hopefully I'll get a chance to catch up with it later.

Fall

Happy 3rd day of September!

The weather is cooling off. This season has always typically been characterized by changes, by adjustments to a new routine, by a certain freshness that can only be found in these couple of months of the year. I think it might be my favorite. Summer has been good to me, but I'm actually looking forward to fall.

Sleepy!

So tired.. been sleepy since like 9pm but just got home and gotta keep up my blogging streak! To make this quick, I'm just posting an amusing video I saw the other day. It's not as sketchy as the video freeze-frame is making it out to be. But yeah-Google is kind of creepy! One time I was having an ant problem in my house and FOR SURE I did not email or gchat anyone about it (I even looked at my history after the episode), but there was a link advertising how to get rid of ants on the top of my inbox. Weeeeeeeeeeird.

Ok, GOOD NIGHT!

Scrubs

Got my scrubs today! To commemorate, here I am, modeling the top.. even though the main point of the picture, the embroidery, is kinda hard to read. It just says my name and "Dentistry 2015". Exciting.. but I am sure the novelty will eventually wear off, since I have to wear this everyday for the next four years.

I had Dentsim again today.. def got fed a piece of humble pie, coming in to class feeling high and mighty after my last competency. Class II #18 tooth preparations are no joke for me! Good thing we're not going to be tested on them.. for now. Hopefully I'll get better so that I don't eff up anyone's teeth in the future.
