maybe i will be a real doctor

So today while at the library I read an article in the Daily Iowan about a man who lost his eye sight when he was 19 and recently was able to watch his first Iowa Hawkeye football game in about 64 years. I loved this article for 2 reasons... 1) i love Hawkeye Football 2) I love vision hence my desire to become an eye doctor.

Even though I want to be an eye doctor to help improve peoples vision through glasses, contacts, and non-invasive surgical techniques such as lasik ,I know want to be an Ophthalmologist which means Med. school instead of Optometry school because there are a lot more surgeries and such involved with ophthalmology... I guess i could take both the MCAT and the OAT next year and decide after that what it is i truly want to do ...hmm decisions decisions

Boys, Guys, and Men

So while working out today i watched Holidate, yet another reality dating show, but this one i learned a little something from. While on a date the girl asked the guy she was with if he was looking for a relationship and this was his answer.... " From my last relationship i learned a lot about the difference between boys, guys, and men... " heres the difference... they are boys until the age of 24 because they have no idea what they want or what they are doing , they are like lost puppy dogs, for the next decade from 25-35 they are guys...fun to hang out with, good to date, but not ready for commitment, and after 35 they are men becasue they are ready for that next step.....

i already figured out that guys are boys especially while still in college, or at least thats the experience i have had. I dont think that they are guys from 25-35 i feel like different guys grow up at different times... obviously he hadnt yet ... and also guys and men will still act like boys

test anxiety

So this week I have four tests, and yes i should be studying right now instead of updating my blog, but if you know me you know that I will do anything to not study such as

• claim i have to go to walmart for toothpaste even though i have enough to last the week ... but i know if i went i would spend at least an hour there
• claim that i need a new toothbrush so i can once again go to walmart ( i would say target but its closed right now, i lovvvveeeee target)
• workout for a prolonged period of time
• watch 2 chick flicks while eating ice cream claiming to be depressed over a boy when im really not
• blog

so as you can see that leaves less time to actually study which increases my stress levels which

a re already high since I need to do well on these tests so i can fulfill my year and half long dream of going to optometry school and becoming Dr. Stephanie (i'd put a last name too but who knows if by the time i become a doctor i will still be an Enriquez, a hyphenated version of my last name and whoever else's, or if there will be no Enriquez) Yep so anyway i hate having four tests in one week it makes me cry (no really it does i've cried twice today after saying i have 4 tests) Not only does it make me cry but i also behave weirdly... such as

• laying in random places around the house in weird positions
• singing the abc's
• saying things such as "oh that was funny... to me"
• dancing around
• being overly perky(aka ditzy) when talking to someone
• blogging

as a very good band, brand new, would put it ... This is a lesson in procrastination I kill myself because I'm so frustrated And every single second that I put it off means another lonely night I gotta race the clock
