baby-steps to the refrigerator

Finally finished with finals! WooHoo! By the grace of God, i snagged a 95 on that last one. Pretty confident i did well enough in Micro. Already have my grades for Micro lab and A&P 1 lab. As long as i didn't endo on my A&P 1 lec final, or A&P 2 lab, i'm set. Now i just gotta buy a stethoscope and a K worth of books.

Climbed yesterday. i think it's slowly starting to come together again. Ended up making serious throws at a couple of v6s. They'll both fall soon. Amazing how much of a difference it makes to climb with some motivated, strong guys. Anyhow, i'm encouraged 'cuz i haven't lifted in nearly 3 months, and while i haven't really gained any weight, i know i've switched a lot of fat for muscle mass; so if i'm climbing like that knowing that i'm outta shape, it gives me a nice dose of hope for what'll happen when i get back into shape. i am suddenly highly motivated. Plus, the classmates and i will be doing physical exams on each other, and i think it'd be neato if my gut didn't curl up in my lap and wink at me whenever i sit down. This, too, is somewhat motivating.

i've got a prestige medical stethoscope I'll give you. I just dropped a few quid on a littman when i got the CCU job. When you graduate, you can get you a good one too. Its been my experience scopes will grow legs if kept close to Populated areas...

'S not a bad point. It's been my experience that if you frog a sista' on the forearm if she even looks like she's cogitating the possibility of maybe using yer scope, she loses the motivation. But you're right: people do seem to have no consciences when it comes to scopes. (At least, i don't.) They're like wildflowers, or hors d'oeuvres...Yea, like unto Dixie cups of Milwalkee's Best at a high school kegger.

It's just that i loathe trying to hear a person's gutbeat with a crappy scope. "This is worthless, ma'am. Don't take offence, but i have to put my ear on yer chest; i just can't hear well enough."
