Studying woes

Today I will be completing my last two finals. It has been rough to keep myself motivated, and it has required a lot of self-bribery! Ha ha. For some reason I focus 5 times better if I'm wearing my headphones. I don't know why, because I'm home alone - it's not like there are any noises distracting me. Whatever works, right? Well anyways, I can't hear a thing, so I'm paranoid that someone may come to my door, or my fire alarm will go off, or something!

Yesterday I totally overdosed on both caffeine and sugar! We had a Christmas dessert day at the clinic yesterday, which meant that all the assistants and secretaries made us all kinds of delicious goodies. It was just what I needed after the two finals yesterday morning. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm growing about five cavities under my braces thanks to that. Good thing I know a lot of dentists who are almost eager to do free dental work! I'm just excited because after today I'm mentally checking out for the holidays, and I'm officially going to start a Diet Coke diet (we all know it needs to happen). We shall see if I am at all successful!

In other news, we got another snow storm last night. It actually started out as this weird hail/rain/ice thing. It totally freaked me out because I wandered out of the house around 8-o'clock to get me a fountain drink, and the sidewalks were all icy. It was one of the more strange things I've encountered out here, but I'm okay with it because we only got maybe 2 inches of snow. WAY better than last year's snow-fest.
