And I Remember The Truth, A Warm December With You...

Joshua Radin - Winter


So I'm leaving for Indiana in a hot second for an athletic training conference at IU. It should be a magical good time. Mostly because it's a whole new group of people for me to meet, and as that's my fav activity, it should be stellar.

Plus...I get to get dressed up. I'm stoked.

However, this trip did prompt my FavoriteUConnStudent to point out how lame I am. So here's the question, am I indeed super lame? Well I mean, clearly, yes I am, but did it really take until this for it to show? I feel as if it was always fairly obvious.


So last night, one of my gymnasts and I holed ourselves up in a classroom for 7 hours to study. I had a physics exam today, while she had one in anatomy, meaning that every 10 minutes or so she'd look up with some sort of anatomical question ("where is your posterior superior iliac crest," or "what's the insertion for the longissimus," or my all time favorite, "wait, what the fuck is a fossa? I've been memorizing them for hours, and I have no idea what they are.").

But it was a super good study sesh. For one, I was incredibly productive, and two, it made me feel super smart, because finally I was being asked questions about a subject that I actually understood (as opposed to physics, that is).

So she texted me today, informing me that she owned her exam, and she expected me to do the same with physics. I may or may not have let her down. It's too soon to say. All I know is that no matter how much I study and meet with tutors for that class, I still have no idea what I'm doing. It's upsetting.


Oh, and dear madre, because I'm going to forget to tell you. One of my friends totally used to be your patient. The last name connection was made today. I don't know what made her think of it, but there you have it. It made me giggle.


Also, this might be the funniest thing I've ever read. One of my friends sent it to me, knowing my hate for Nickelback (as they're the absolute worst band ever). But even better are all the comments afterwards. It's super intense, and I love it.
