This is the first semester of dental school. Not the whole year, the first semester. Grand total of 25.5 hours. Excitement has suddenly turned into sheer terror. | | |
| Alright... its been awhile... this is whats up...
* I love Dr. Pepper and Dr. Pepper loves me... more so than ever before. I bought a 2 liter bottle on Thursday at 3 pm and finished it by Saturday at 7pm. It is an addiction that I know longer feel the need to combat.
* The pain associated with a spasming esophagus is only topped by the pain of childbirth and amputation without sedation. It has happened before, both times following a good work out. See, I shouldn't work out, it is bad for my esophageal condition. Imagine elephants (yes, plural) standing on your chest...is that worth burning a few calories? I am not so sure it is.
* January has not been a good month for technology: screwy cell phones, iPod transplants, the VAIO crashed and burned, my tape player in my car quit which means no podding on the road, my buddy list is GONE, for a week our washer was posessed etc etc. February needs to come before the TV quits.
*Greys Anatomy made me cry tonight. It really is a great show.
* Umm I randomly caught the bouquet at a wedding last weekend. Am I dating anyone? No. Is marriage even in the forecast? No. Do I have freakishly long arms and a decent vertical after consuming 5 or so glasses of champagne? Yes.
* My brother wants to be a longhorn. I could die.
* Flava Flav has got to be the most annoying individual ever. The current bachelor is arrogant and awkward. I hate reality TV that has any competition involved. When does Run's House start again? WHOSE HOUSE?!?!?! RUN'S HOUSE!!!!
* I can't wait until June. Dental school is scary but I am so FREAKING excited. And I think I am going to get turquoise scrubs. Too perfect for words.
The forsaken alarm clock is going to ring in 7 hours... I must go to bed. That thing is on my hit list. It will be lucky if it survives until the tech-safe month of February. | | |

I am SUCH a nerd... sentimental nerd... here it is... my 2005
* Second from the top row, end zone, hating my life in Miami.
* Guymon, Lou and the Truck Drivers, and Mr and Mrs Cory Hicks. "Oh my my... OHH HELL YES!"
* Not getting into med school (and an unexpected feeling of relief)
* Everything about $2 hurricanes and Mardi Gras
* "She's not drunk, she's Catholic," Betas, and chairs in 800's kitchen.
* Strep throat from hell
* Gamble... one last time... with a Gamble..."Shannon's lost that lovin feelin..."
* Drive bys, low-riders, 96.9 and the entire CCR greatest hits CD.
*
Blowing off all the walkout drama by drinking with the composite and
the founders (reuniting briefly with the Latins)...I miss 800
* learning I wanted to be dentist
* party cups, BEADS!!!, moo, challenge me... go ahead! and all the insanity that accompanied that night.
*
not eating at Nonna's with the pledge class, "Drop it like its hot"
(specifically Katie climbing out of the limo, and dropping it on
Campus Corner), Chelsea dunking her ring at Champions and poor Patrick.
* parading in pimptastic graduation robes to "Pomp and Circumstance" around the Deej.
* You stay classy San Diego... the absolute best way to spend the last
date party!! "oooh we're halfway there, oh oh livin on a prayer!"
* 5-5-05.... its the best Cinco de Mayo EVER! Trisha, "I'm two fisting 16 ounces! What the f*-k is wrong with me?!?"
*
Mimi, Chijoke, and a unicyclist... random guests of Chelseas Bday bash.
Lets not forget Trisha introducing herself "nice to meet you Dick
Moore, my name is ....(those of you who know can fill in the blank and
laugh)" and Anne's rendition of, "I'm gonna getcha, I'm gonna
getcha, look out boy, I'm gonna getcha"
* Graduation (the highlight
of the whole year)!!! Along with all the stress, exhaustion, sadness
and excitement... "O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A, our chant rolls on and on..."
* Wrigley Field
* Mr and Mrs David Neel, and the magical wall of great pictures. "I got 99 problems but a b*tch ain't one."
* summer of safarri waitressing, studying the DAT, being too old for home and terribly missing my friends.
* moving in to CP... "its all Mickey Mouse up in here." Jake had insight that we couldn't even understand at the time
* 92nd percentile and RELIEF.
* Elbows, "Im engaged!" Me, "You won!"
* the invention of game night... "We have something here!!"
* having a real job
* one last season of OU football
with the worlds BEST friends. The best quote had something to do with
silence in our section, after LSAT celebration and Trisha's very loud voice.
*Debauchery of OU/ TX, three girls in gauchos, Abu the cab driver, the
guy in the blue shirt, and of course "Now, I ain't sayin shes a gold
digger..."
* O-faces and payback pregnancies
* "DON'T STOP BELIEVIN'!!"

| Update is necessary I suppose.
1. I got into OU Dental School.  
(lots of
creepy smiley faces) I had my interview Thursday and got my letter
Sunday. I really LOVE instant gratification. When I found
out I jumped from my room to the couch... seriously like 8 feet.
The best is my parents. Mom, "Thats good sweetie." Dad, "Good job
Shan." WHAT??!! Hi, I just got into dental school... class of
65... out of a bazillion applicants. Well my friends screamed,
and then I went to bed at 9:30... I might be 65 years old.
I am still waiting to hear from
a few schools and trying to decide if I would accept anything else. I
have to let OU know by Jan 15 with $500. Still waiting to hear about
financial aid and such... but I am too excited for words.
2. I got an 89.2575 in a class. Thats a B. My professor conveniently
left town the day after the final. So I have to wait 4 weeks to look
at my test, and find a right answer that was marked wrong. I know
there is a slim chance but I was never one to go down without a fight.
It doesn't apply to my undergraduate GPA but dental school could choose
to apply it to that GPA... wouldnt that be ironic? Start dental school
off with a 3.00. Cool Shannon, REAL cool.
3. This is what procrastination turns into once the stress of
school is gone: I am really freakin tired of the alarm going off at
5:45 every morning... notice I say "alarm going off" and not "getting
up" because often (this morning) the alarm goes off and I press snooze
until the radio makes me get out of bed with just enough time to jump
in the shower for 5 minutes, brush my teeth and put on makeup. I
then proceed to run the heater in my car at full blast hoping it will
dry my hair as I drive 65 down hwy 9 praying that there are no
cops. One of these morning I will learn that 10 more minutes of
sleep is just not worth it... but my bed is so comfy and getting out of
it just never seems like a good idea. Should not have invested
this much money in my bedding, it is hurting my career.
4. I was on the radio last week. They were asking about
funny christmas presents you have recieved. So I called in and
told how my grandma (dads mom) bought me a pot leaf turquoise necklace
when I was 17 (yes i phoned in, but I was on time to work, motivation
to get out of bed and grab my phone). I got the biggest laugh of
the morning. Makes me appreciate my crazy grandmas. Best
story of all time: My grandma (moms mom) was trying to sell her
house. So someone in her bridge group tells her that if you bury
a St Joseph statue upside down in your front yard he helps you sell
your house. SO my grandma decides to do this, but she feels bad
so she wraps him in aluminum foil. Then she starts to dig, but
she hits shale, so St Josephs feet are sticking out the ground.
She covers it up with some mulch and waits for intervention (not
telling my grandpa any of this). SO grandpa goes to mow the
lawn. The reflection of the aluminum foil catches his eye.
He comes in the house toting the statue "What the hell is this in the
front yard??" So grandmas explains that St Joseph is helping with their
bad real estate luck. In what possibly might be the funniest family
situation of all time Grandpa responds with, "Thats all great, but how
the heck is St Anthony gonna do about it?" SO I have one grandma
who cant tell a flower from marijuana and one that can't keep her
saints straight. CRAZY CRAZY grandmas.
5. I feel like I should have a #5 to round this out. Merry Christmas!
