Not doing much, but with no time to spare

I haven't written anything lately, mostly because nothing exciting has really been happening. We have settled into our fall routines: Monday, Gossip Girl (it mildly entertains me); Tuesday, House and Fringe; Wednesday, Bones; Thursday, Ugly Betty and The Office. How depressing that TV has taken over my evenings? But it just so nice to sit and vege.

I also decided to take a Physiology course. I hate to admit it, but I work in a Physiology lab and have never taken a Physiology class. So this weekend instead of taking advantage of free museum day, OR making old fashioned molasses with the Chapmans, one of my favorite fall activities, OR heading to the Buckwheat Festival to determine if my teenage self was correct in exclaiming that buckwheat cakes are disgusting OR buying a scalped football ticket for $5 to watch the Eers, I spent a sickening amount of hours trying to figure out nine pages (nine!), with 4 pictures per page, of the above monster picture and evil friends. Who knows their histology?!?

The White Coat

One of the things that they seem to talk up at WVU dental school is the white coat ceremony, an induction ceremony in which you receive a white coat indicating your readiness to start treating your own patients. You start to hear about it at day one. Then you get to let the anticipation build for the next two years. Finally the day arrives and with it some mixed thoughts and feelings like, "wow, I wish I was sleeping right now" said one of my fellow inductees. Another, "I hope they have good food afterwards". My self "man I hope they don't stand up there and blow hot air for the next hour and a half".
After standing around in the hall waiting for the ceremony to start we next got the opportunity to practice some skills we learned in the K-guard, namely walking in a single file line and sitting when told. The speeches were short, which warrantied a sigh of relief from myself. After listening to some of the professors for past two years you realize how long winded they can be and the thought that there was no present ending point was a little daunting. But when it was all said and done, the comments that were directed towards us were thought provoking and left me feeling that receiving the white coat was a milestone in which resembled the culmination of all the long hours of studying, taking test, practicing preps on fake teeth and giving injections to my class mates. All of which are fond memories.
Although I may not have been too excited about the whole thing at first... having Dr. Hornbrook put that white coat on me sure felt good.






Me and some of my classmates.



Me and the Russian, aka Alex. We are members of the DDS club. Which stand for the Dental Domino Society. We, and the other member of our club who is not pictured (Larkin left early) play domino's every lunch hour.


My parents. It made me very happy that they were there to witness me receiving my white coat.

Woke up nice and early this morning and took a road trip to the DC temple for stake temple day. The closer we got to DC, the harder the rain came. The front lobby was filled with umbrellas. It was a super fast trip through the monsoon weather, so we could come back and watch the WVU vs. ESC game. The depressing WVU vs. ESC game... Time to go wallow in my sorrow, or at least take a nap...

Our car is smarter than us

We made the decision not to get a new car because we had so much trouble with I-79 Honda. We decided to try the Honda dealer farther away, Urse, and they made us an offer we couldn't refuse. So, we got a new car. It is definitely smarter than us. It tells us exactly how many mpg we are getting, when we need to change the oil, and a million other things. It shuts itself off when we stop at a red light, and then turns itself back on when we push on the gas. It rides like a sports car. We are in love.

Cleveland and Amish Country: August 16th

On our way back home we stopped in Cleveland, and were rather frightened by the number of homeless people. We parked our car, and the first thing we saw was two homeless guys asleep on the concrete sidewalk. Here is a picture of a bunch of homeless people (the guy standing up was chasing the pigeons like a crazy person...) in Public Square:No trip to Cleveland would be complete without a visit to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We were too cheap to buy a ticket (See Cedar Point entry. Did I mention we are old? And Lame? Next time!), and settled for visiting the gift shop. We found out they have free concerts every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. The day we stopped, Ted Nugget was playing that night. Tempting?

We drove home the long way, through Amish country. It was so pretty! There were Amish everywhere, and we enjoyed seeing their horses, buggies, and little girls with bonnets.

We stopped at Heini's Cheese Chalet and ate our stomach's full with cheese of all types, sizes, tastes, and smells (including chocolate, peanut butter, and pinapple). They were very generous with the free samples, and we tried everything. So good! And yes, we spent a small fortune in cheese to take home.
