So Thanksgiving I was given a swell treat: a UTI! Oh joy. Saturday I was able to get into a doctors to have it looked at and now I'm on antibiotics and Pyridium.
Problem is, the antibiotics make me feel sooo sick and headachey. Argh. I want to go barf so badly. Luckily I only have to take them for a few more days, but in those few days I have the American Chemical Society (ACS) exam, a huge presentaion, a systemic animal physilogy exam, a long list of chapter questions to answer, and a take home essay final in reproductive physiology that takes several hours to answer one question. Not sure how I'm gonna do all that while feeling like crap.
On the bright side, my pee looks like Easter egg dye! At least that much is fun.
What obstacles must you all overcome this week? I need inspiration :P

My Blog
This week... ugh. Okay, well, I need to do a final project for Visual Communication, which means build a website. The only topic I could come up with is to build a personal portfolio site with my resume, so there we go. I've done nothing else and it's due Friday.
I also have to read an entire book for history by this weekend. And study for my Vis Comm exam, and Astronomy exam. And help arrange this weekend's Santa Paws pictures for APAWS. Then actually volunteer Saturday and Sunday at the Santa Paws (I hear that at least a couple of people every year bring cats. That's a good idea how?)
Friday will be fun, though. It's the office Christmas party on my boss' yacht. However, last year we went to a seafood restaurant and the only thing I could eat that was meatless was a spinach side salad without bacon and a baked potato with butter. It wasn't very satisfying compared to the feasts everyone else had (and the boss paid for it, too).
But, I'll bring snacks with me this year (maybe a pb&j sammich) and get drunk. Last year I was brand new and too nervous to have more than one drink the whole day!
So, if I can make it until Friday I'll get some stress relief! Next week is finals, though.
As for me, I'm prepping for my Ph.D. proposal defense on next Thursday. I basically have to get up there in front of the professors and student body of my university (graduate program) and defend what I'm doing and why I'm doing it for my Ph.D. dissertation. The profs can grill you all they want, and I've heard some rumors that some will deliberately gun for you. I went to one last week and the guy got roasted, which didn't help my nerves at all. I just have to get through next week, and (hopefully) the rest of my holiday season should be golden.
