a very boring busy

I hate to be one of those people who says, "I can't believe it's already ..." but really, I can't believe it's already October!

Time surely flies when you're having fun.  (Or when you're in dental school.)

Here's a recap of the last 3 or 4 weeks:

Lots of studying.  I know this picture is soooo interesting.  Who doesn't love cardiovascular drugs?  We've had 1-2 tests a week for the past month and a half, and now it's 2 or 3 until the end of the semester.  ick.  Oh, well, after that we are finished!!

And this is why we have had so many tests/why I am studying so much:

NBDE Part II.  double-ick.

December 16 and 17.  Write dates down on a post-it and start saying some prayers for me, please!

Of course, there has been a little bit of fun thrown in.  Being the Arkansas girl that I am, I haven't been able to resist going to see my Hogs play!  We had a heartbreaker last weekend against Alabama, but it has been a fun season so far and I'm looking forward to seeing them back in action next week.

Guess who doesn't look so fresh and pretty after several hours tailgating and jumping up and down yelling WOO PIG?  Oh, my, how I envy those people and their not-so-frizzy hair!

I had to get a picture with my favorite guy (my dad), though!

I LOVE when the team comes onto the field!

Of course, no tailgate is complete without Rick's.  Mom thought that our friend, John Phelps, would appreciate this gigantic Razorback cookie.  Did I mention that he is a diehard 'Bama fan?  Oh, the fun.  (Until we lost, anyway.)  Mr. Phelps did love his cookie, though!  If only it had brought us just a teeny-tiny bit more luck.

Then it was back to school, back to clinic, and back to studying.  [sigh]  Which catches you up on this very busy, somewhat boring, life that I love!

Happy Sunday!
