One patch of skin the poorer...one falalfal the richer
Yes. I had a bike accident.
Funniest thing, the first thing to go through your head right after you pick your (slightly bloodier) self up is, hooooow embarrassing...I hope nobody saw that! EEEEIiiiiiieeeee.
This is the story: woke up around 6:30 am, fueled up on some caffeine, studied more vitainsproteinlipidetcetc, starting heading out, realizing to some considerable chagrin that it was 9:25 am and I had very very little time to hi-tail it to the midterm (why? why?!). This tragedy may, in part, owe to my perhaps not exhibiting the greatest acuity or hand-motor coordination BUT for the most part I blame my toy-r-us bike! Sure, the unsightly hot pink is easy to spot, but the gears are rusty and randomly switch while I'm biking. Plus, I was wearing sandals and the darn pedal was just at that horrible angle where your foot hits it and makes it spin around instead of landing to actually pedal. Bottom line: ended up dragging a knee about thinking, okei, okei, I can make it, it's not so bad...OWWWW!!! Ending with me ever so slightly bumping smack into a stationary car. And, the rest is history.
History I want to expound upon!
I think having torn a hole into my red track pants (:( i loved these pants) and scrounged a hole in my knee skin entitles me to some sympathy groans...so yes, I have been whining about it.
On the very bright side, I made it to the nutrition midterm on time and it went pretty darn well, I think! Thank goodness I have still retained some capacity to spit back information I have memorized (off about +300 slides?). Enough of it anyways.
And, the throbbing pain in my knee helped me stay awake during the test. Usually falling asleep isn't a problem...but that extra "nudging" didn't hurt either...no, I take it back. It hurt. Sort of walk limped too, like step-ow, step-ow, step-o...see? I wasn't lying about the whining part.
Went to lab and ran some newbie mice with Matt, and Craig was supernice in dragging out the first aid kit and getting me slightly bandaged up. Then I had to do some ASSU paperwork for Relay, which is fast approaching (May 14th!).
Snagged some free falafal at White Plaza and bumped into Julie :) We're "working" in the coho at present. Sigh. I should be working on the PHE intervention project. My bit has to do with the Freshman 15, our project itself is focused on eating disorders.
Fueled by diet mountain dew, which has the highest caffeine amount in soda (not to mention the essential amino acid phenylalanine, which goes on to make nonessential tyrosene), I'm meeting the PHE folks in a bit, then PHE class, then PFC steering committee meeting, then either need to watch a movie for cultural psych or go to the Applying to Med School Workshop (scary scary thought).
I have but one thing left to say:
Blarg.

First comment on Christine's Blog!
wow, that accident sounds nasty, 9:25AM is awfully early to be biking about anyway. At least you didn't break anything (too much)
Its good to know that diet mountain dew actually has some kind of nutritional value (I think..) from reading that pre-medish mumble that you wrote.
