Welcome to Part 6! Everyone did a bang up job by hitting 10k in less than 12 days--11 days 19 hours and 18 minutes to be exact. A new record! 😀

For those not familiar with what we do here, Molly has been kind enough to put together a nice description.

Not sure what the Random thread is all about? Well, here's the answer to all your questions.

It's basically a restaurant. That serves breaststicks. And lots of cute fruit and veggies. And is patronized by a HO. And Tucker Carlson. Vin Diesel, too. Lots of race car drivers eat here, as well. We're very well respected by the Amish... one girl in particular is here almost all the time.

The food is great if you're low on iron. It's not on the menu, but you can ask about the special secret garlic cure home recipe. One of the hostesses often makes weather predictions, but she's not always around. I think she has another job with the government. Or a government. Something like that. One of the other hostesses says "Bitch, please," a lot, but she's joking... don't take it personally.

Forget anything you've heard about the girl who died here from arsenic poisoning. That was a long time ago, and she's still alive, anyway... just busy so she doesn't come in as much. Besides, a little arsenic adds a lot of flavor to just about any dish.

Pretty flowers by the entrance, hey? Lilis, they are. Beautiful. And the music is totally hopping... we have our very own DJ. Looks a little like Brad Pitt.

I guess that's pretty much all you need to know. I'm usually in the corner booth over there drinking a nice glass of wine. You're welcome to join me, anytime. We're open 24/7.

When I was in undergrad I did research on zebrafish. All the fish tanks were in the basement of this old building. The cockroaches were SO BIG they would basically pick you up and take you back to their home.

But THE BEST THING was when a cockroach would get in the fish tanks - the zebrafish would beat the crap out of it. It was really cool. 😀

Are you sick? I hope not. Feel better if you are.

I hate going to the doctor too. (TypeA can confirm this one. 😉 )

I can't tell if I am truly sick or my body is just reacting to extreme stress. I've been vomitting all day. I'm thinking there is some underlying issues though, its been a while since I actually felt well.

I really like The Amazing Race......I was just telling my husband last night that we should try out, but it seems like you really have to by physically fit to win.

😡 Just got back from my abnormal psych exam. That was seriously one of the most poorly written exams I have ever taken in my life. I'm about ready to stop going to lecture. Nothing from the lecture was on the test, nothing from the review on Friday was on the test. She expected us to know minute details that made up one freaking sentence in the entire 120 textbook pages we were responsible for knowing. I'm really not one to complain about tests, but this was ridiculous!! 😡 😡 And there were several questions where I just couldn't understand the answer choices because they were phrased so inarticulately.

Oh, this is going to be a fun semester.

And it doesn't help that I feel terrible. I probably should call the doctor but I really don't want to have to drag myself and two kids down to the office to be seen.

Yeah, I want to be a doctor, but I HATE being the patient. 🙁

At least the stupid test is done. I can focus on preparing for my interview now. :scared:

Oh, and go to stupid lab on Tuesday and Thursday. I don't think I have any pre- or post- labs to do this week, though. I finished the pre-lab for Tuesday last week and I believe this lab is going to stretch over Tuesday and Thursday. :clap: That means the post-lab won't be due until next week too. 😀

Thanks guys! I'm trying to relax and calm down and hopefully that will help me figure out if I'm really sick.

Hey Brett,

Take it easy....you may be doing too many things at once......I used to get so stressed out when I had too much on my plate to the point of vomiting too.

I haven't in awhile but these past few weeks I have pretty consistently. I probably need to start popping some acid neutralizing tablets or get a script for some downers.
