Well, seeya later!

Okay, so I have this funny reputation for loving fountain drinks, and diet coke, and such. So as I was sipping my fountain drink from tonight (Dr. Pepper, yum), I thought of this!

So my friend Zach and I go get fountain drinks from Bucky's all the time, and they must recognize us because we come there so often. Well one night they just decided to be nice, and gave us free drinks. Sweet! Anyways, this blog is pretty much pointless except that I thought this Dumb and Dumber clip was pretty awesome! I also wanted the "nice skis" clip, but I couldn't find it. Ha ha, what a stupid movie.

Only in dental school

So many things that you would only experience in dental school.

• We get to say stuff like, "Where's my mandible?"
• We have collections of extracted teeth, and we are proud of the amount and quality we own.
• We can get away with naming our intramural sports teams things like "The Mamelons," or "The Dry Sockets," or "Hooty Cackers." And we think we are incredibly clever.
• We get to use nitrous (dental "laughing gas") on each other for "academic purposes."
• I actually laughed at my own stupid comment about pulpal necrosis on a plastic tooth today. (That was one of those "who am I?" moments...)
• You get random e-mails that have the subject as "bite mark study," and it goes on to ask for volunteers who would consent to being bitten (by dentures, not people, don't worry)!

There are plenty more, but that is all I can think of at the moment! Don't you wish you were in dental school?

St. Patty's

Okay, so I've never really lived somewhere that St. Patrick's has been a big deal. Well in step dental school. I love it, because my teachers were totally festive today, as well as a good percentage of the class. Of course there are some of those bums that totally forgot and wore blue (for shame!), just kidding. However, I'm pretty sure all the fuss is because St. P's is just an excuse for various bar-related festivities. Such as green beer. Ha ha. Yep, yay for mid-week alcohol..... Hmm, anyways I have decided that I freakin' like those dumb holidays like today and valentine's where no one really cares, but you can totally pretend it's a holiday anyways. For instance, here is my St. P outfit:

Yep, even my nails are green. However, I feel like a 16-year-old girl which, believe it or not, is not the image I want to portray as a brand new dentist who is already suspiciously young. Oh well, it is festive, and I like it!

Candy for your skull

So I got to go home for like a week for spring break, and I spent a good amount of time with my awesome little brother Blake. Anyways, he and I both share an affection for electronics, and music, and sweet speakers. So he had me test out some skullcandy headphones of his, waiting for my reaction. I tell you what, they were sweet! So I purchased some off ebay, and they arrived yesterday. Yes! And the best part- the name -

Skullcrushers

Doesn't that just sound intimidating? Well anyways, they have mini subwoofers in the headphones with adjustable base. So even ordinary songs suddenly become a party in your ears. Ha ha! Love it. Only problem is, I can't hear a thing. That could be good or bad, and I'm especially excited to test them out next time I get on a plane.

This is Blake (left) and Mitch last summer. Yep, they are neat.

Week back

Oh my. So this last week was our spring break (yay!) although I would prefer to refer to it as "late winter" break. Ha ha. Well it was good to get out of Nebraska for a little while, since I had the pleasure of heading back to Utah for the duration of the break. So my trip began with a 6 am flight (yeah, I was up at like 4:30 that morning - thanks to my buddy Stephen who gave me a ride that early!) from Omaha, to Denver, to Vegas. Sweet. My awesome mom came to pick me up, and despite the fact that she gets anxious about being away from her kids for too long, she spent the day shopping with me! We went to the mall in Vegas, and I totally got a "I'm a sucker for blondes" comment from a very friendly lady selling dresses. Ha ha!

That week I got to catch up on lots of sleep, chillax in my parent's pool, catch up on some TV, play some Wii Mario Kart, go skiing up at Brian Head, play some violin, go to a cello recital, eat lunch with my sweet Grandma Brown, get some overpriced ice-cream at Maggie Moo's, visit Wal-Mart (yay....), and spend lots and lots of time with the brothers! Yeah, they are pretty much awesome, and my brother Blake, who is 19, was extra nice to take time out of his busy life to hang out with his boring older sister. Ha ha. So I got to fly out of the Cedar airport this trip, and let me tell you, that airport is tiny! Pretty sure there were only about 10 people on the plane, but I did enjoy my own row of seats!

Well after a busy weekend of traveling and catching up with the Omaha crowd, it was particularly difficult getting back into school this week. I don't know if I'm out of practice with the school thing, or what, but this week has been ridiculous! Between the whole Oral pathology quiz controversy, and the 7 fillings in pedo this morning, I'm pretty much exhausted. Good thing tomorrow is Thursday, which means I am one day closer to the weekend!
