Oh, you think you're going to fail boards?  Why didn't you say so?  There's a support group for that.  It's called everybody and they meet at the library." ~Dubs

23rd baby. I pushed it back. haha! :D

Please note: The Backstreet Boys have nothing to do with this post, and everything to do with an epic brain fart.

So, I sent that awesome quote to my buddy Dubs (who wants to be an orthopedic surgeon), and here's what he had to say:

"Haha. Very true. And then you realize it's a picture of you, being a podiatrist. "

AHAHAHA! Hilarious.

overload

I've been up since 5 every day...my boards are 30 days away. Wow. Just wow.

This is how I feel about the information overload:
"You get to see every puzzle piece again only this time (after two years) you know what the fucking picture on the box is supposed to be. It’s amazing how much everything starts sliding into place." ~Topher

Those words are absolute perfection. Absolute.

 

breaking

Well, this is ironic. This morning I broke my first wooden board. O.o I'll be honest - I was practicing on a plastic one a couple of times and then got into a conversation about how different it might be to do so on a wooden one (considering which way the fibers run, blah blah). And so, my instructor disappeared and reappeared with a real wooden board and asked me to break it. haha!

I kind of just stared at it in brief horror. I mean - me against SOLID WOODEN BOARD.

I could hear my instructor say "Nothing but confidence." And then I did it. :)

Today, I broke a wooden board. It didn't hurt, it was not half as difficult as I thought it would be, and it certainly was not worth fretting over because despite my insecure feelings about my competency I was prepared.

Now - it's time for me to break The Boards. As Dubs said, "The Board exam is shaking in its boots right now." hahahahaa! :D

tick tock....
