when life sucks, grab a sucker

This week could not have sucked anymore than it ever possibly could (a tad dramatic I know).
To start the week, we had a test that I had no idea we had... so I was unprepared.
Then another test the following day, which I was technically prepared for but not mentally prepared for to say the least.
Then I got guilt tripped and hounded by a chick that is way too incorporated into my life than I care to have (she is in multiple group projects and research studies... she is kind of a dictator).
I then get my grade back from my previous test, which probably make my teachers wonder why the heck they ever let me into this establishment.
I prepared for a huge hour long presentation that got cancelled and rescheduled on the day I give another hour long presentation. I find out that we have 3 case studies due monday along with my huge presentation that I have yet to finish.
Finally, to top off my wonderful week of inadequacy, during my musculoskeletal practical (meaning I get a fake patient scenario acted out by a classmate and observed/graded by a professor, that I then have to treat) I made a complete ass out of myself when I had a total brain-fart (meaning I totally blanked).
After all of this I was on the brink of tears wondering (1) what is the deal with the tears? and (2) maybe I should become a chef or baker?-
but then I realized that I can barely master mac and chess, and brownies... which got me to tears again.

after a nice long (3 hour) nap, I felt much better... I must have been sleep deprived... go figure

Now life is good and I am currently enjoying a cherry flavored sucker :)
