Student SPHere 2008-09

Oh ma gosh! Is it the weekend already? My days seem to be running together. I don’t remember when I sleep let alone when I make it to class. I have assignments due left and right that before I turn in one, I’m thinking bout the next thing I have to do.
I did find time to get some roast duck soup today though! There is a delightful little Vietnamese place called the Lotus on Washington Ave. Its great to be able to walk two feet and find something to eat. Sometimes at three in the morning! And remember that you WILL be craving pizza at the oddest hours!
Now that my belly is full, I am applying for jobs, writing a paper on community organizing(mind you, I have not the slightest clue what to say… paper blank apart for my bullet headings!), and working on responding to my class discussion for an online reproductive health class. In short, I am a jack of all trades and highly a master of none right now. Fighting to keep my eyes open, but not so much because I’m tired but because my eyes get fatigued quickly.
Speaking of my eyes, I had an eye appointment a few days ago. They did the most curious thing—they dilated my eyes! The doctor wanted to check for glaucoma and any other eye complications I could have. Sounds great enuf except that for three hours after that I my vision was blurry! I ordered chicken parmesan from the Noodle Company and they gave me grilled chicken. Ordinarily, I would have caught this error BEFORE I put it in my mouth, but NO. I bit into the chicken and thought, “hmmm, this doesn’t taste right�?. And then, after three chews, it suddenly occurred to me “Ah! Its grilled chicken!�?. Needless to say, its amazing how we take our senses for granted. I was VERY grateful when I could finally see my keypad enough to text my older sister. But, the reason I brought up the eye clinic is that it is a great resource for students that I had NO idea about. They offer free eye checkups ( provided you pay your student services fee… aha! I paying that for SOMETHING) and frames and lenses at subsidized prices. I know my vision was blurry but they did have some very stylish glasses for cheap. And catch this… they even have a clearance section. This really tickled me when I saw that. My point is, that advantage of the services Boynton has to offer. Did you know they offer free massages too???
Ok, so clearly I’m procrastinating again. I think I better get back to my three word documents. Wish me luck. And just in case you are wondering why I am getting all my work done at once... I am in San Diego for the APHA annual conference
