As someone with a public health background, I really should know better than to eat raw cookie dough, but damn, it's so tasty, especially the kind I just bought on a whim at the grocery store. It actually tastes better raw than baked in my opinion. Food-borne illnesses be damned!

I've decided that for me, the benefit of eating raw cookie dough outweighs the risk.

My mom gave me a bag of truffle Hershey's kisses and this amazing T-shirt as a Valentine's gift:
20160210_142517.jpg

I already have a regular Soft Kitty shirt, but this one is more my personality lately. :D
P.S. I think @DVMDream needs this.

ETA: I just noticed the weird stripe, that's from light shining through the blinds, not part of the shirt. :p

Convinced my BF to do a wine & paint event, only it's even better because it's a paint your pet thing! So we sent in some pictures of our dogs and they essentially make up a paint-by-number on canvas and then we go in and paint it. Kind of cheesy but I'm super excited about it. Unfortunately I both registered for that and bought my bridesmaid dress for my sister's wedding today so my credit card is a little angry, but screw it. It's gonna be awesome!

It's spring/summer job interview season apparently. I have an interview with the county shelter today and I have to schedule another interview for a different zoo job in the next two weeks. I wish that I knew what was going on with vet school though.

My workplace was closed today due to a gas leak. Normally a three day weekend would be great, but my internship is pretty easy office work and I have nothing else to do so I will be bored until I venture out for my interview.

Plus, I'm helping to organize a conference, so getting delayed by even one day is actually very bad at less than two weeks before the big event.

I'm already enjoying Texas, a high of 82 today while my husband woke up to 2 inches of snow in Missouri Hahahahah
 
I dropped Physics last semester due to the Professor/Lab TA combo from hell. It was really hard for my perfectionist tenancies to allow me to just cut my loses like that, but I did it and re-registered for the class this semester.

Now I KNOW I made the right choice...I just found out I got an A on my first test. I'm so excited!

Finally got to Primark today and it wasn't a let down. I was wondering how it would be as a US store and I wasn't disappointed. I know it's not the best quality stuff, but I walked away with like 4 pairs of shoes, a bunch of tanks, 3 pairs of pants, several nice shirts, a blazer type thing and several nice plain t-shirts for maybe $150. It's like Target...but better and cheaper!

And then I went crazy at other stores. I'm going with I'm treating myself for passing boards and stress shopping due to the Match tomorrow.

Just remembered my car has a really good protection plan. So I get free towing to the dealership 60 miles away, the radiator replaced, AND a loan car!! I don't have to be a dependent or stranded at my home for much longer!!

After a long day of classes and TAing, I went to subway to get dinner. The girl accidentally charged me for something extra, couldn't get it to void (used debit card), so offered me a footlong as a make up. Now I have two footlongs in my possession. :)

Correction, I now have only one in my possession. But, I don't think my body is willing anymore even though my eyes say yes.

Got an email from a practice owner of a place I externed at as a 3rd year asking me what my plans were after graduation because he knew of some places hiring.

I was super touched that he thought of me because I didn't think I was spectacular by any means as a 3rd year ( not that I think that now either). I'll try to remember to reach out to him next year and update him as well.

Set an e-mail reminder! I've done that a couple of times
 
I'm up a whopping 5 percentage points from my last midterm to this one, and I felt way worse about this material. Mini rave, because I passed the exam. Still have a long ways to go, though.
 
Finally bought a side table for my living room. It's not something I really need but I get tired of my place not being "completed" (I have many, many decorating ideas that I want to finish but I have to pace myself and stay within budget which means lots of window shopping for the perfect/perfectly priced pieces). If I can motivate myself to take my unwanted clothing, shoes, and purses to a local consignment store, I can possibly bankroll some of these projects.
 
I had a 3 day weekend. I went to the beach, saw manatees, slept. The weather was absolutely perfect. Tonight I cleaned my entire house. Literally everything is clean at once. This is a huge feat for someone who works 80-100 hours a week and is super lazy in the remaining hours haha. Such a good weekend. And this will be a weird week working with one of the medicine doctors I really like since my specialist is away.
 
I finally got my industrial piercing, I've been wanting it for years! Also, my 25 year old boyfriend is going through his mid-life crisis a little early and has been wanting to travel. Europe, preferably. We're gonna see if we can find anything for my spring break (in 3 weeks :whoa:) that is in our budget.


If not, we're going to Frankenmuth for fried chicken.

I love my industrial! I've had it for about 5 years and it's still my favorite. The first time I'd ever had it out for any length of time was my interview, and I felt so naked :laugh:

This may be my next, but my dad has threatened to not allow me back in my house...may not be worth the drama. Tragus for sure, though.

I'm anxious for this thing to heal! Etsy has some really cool jewelry for it!
