OK, one more thing I've learned today. Humans are just humans, no matter what. We still are animals, even though we have cognitive abilities, the truth still remains. In the animal world, there are no friends...there's survival. Then maybe we shouldn't confide in people we consider our best friends, just to get flipped by them at some later point. Yes, we are selfish...we all are, no need to deny that. Even when we do a good deed for someone else, thinking we gain nothing from it, we do gain a feeling of "being good", and that thought gently caresses our ego. I would love to reach that point of being when you truly genuinely care for others and just do good things without feeling rewarded financially or emotionally. Is it even possible?

Самый полный ежесекундный счетчик человечества

Очень занятная флешка. В реальном времени она отображает статистику всей нашей планеты: сколько человек в данный момент, день, месяц, год родилось, умерло, сколько денег потрачено на военные нужды, сколько автомобилей произведено и много другой статистической информации.

Нашла это счастье у Лешика:),а откуда у него - не помню,хоть убейте!

I got my clinical exam score today, the one that I was so upset about in one of the previous posts. Still cannot believe it...a 100%. I don't even know how I got the highest score, because so many things went wrong within the first minutes of the exam...Wait, I know how I did that well...THANK YOU, GOD! I've never prayed so much in my life.
This whole month I've been preparing mentally and financially for an August retake...Even though I have another National Board exam in July, I feel a huge weight dropping off my shoulders, such great relief.
Thank you everyone for your prayers and believing in me.

Фотографии CRAZY_VENUS : Pinning + Cruise

Oh boy, there were so many events in these past few weeks-some official, some not. Lots of fun and food. :)
There was this Class Graduation Party that we planned as a night boat cruise. Our group consisted of about 20 students with 5 faculty memebers and spouses. We've scheduled the party for the day after that dreadful clinical exam(which was a big mistake) and surely, we all were feeling down and unsure about the outcomes; as a matter of fact, one of my friends could not even face it and bailed out of the party. The cruise was a huge success, we overpowered all other parties on the boat with our energy and unstoppable desire to dance the night away - we were all over the boat, and I'm sure they won't forget the Dental Hygiene Class of 2008 for quite a while. This was the first time that we saw our teachers having so much fun...There was alcohol, line dancing, macarena, dancing on the open deck, pole dancing(lol), new encounters, my bf performing splits(and I've heard about those from the girls, somehow I've missed that exciting moment)and much more...I miss all the girls already.

A couple of relatively decent pictures.

Cannot believe it finally happened...I graduated. Which means a break from schooling of any type for a while. Now have to pass the National Boards, get my license and...move on to new goals, new horizons...

Don't treat God as an afterthought or lucky charms.

Yesterday I downloaded Norton Antivirus 2008 on my laptop, and since then I cannot get online. Somehow it wiped out my network connections. After an hour of trying to figure out and fix the problem over the phone my bf got impatient. Then I got on my desktop and on the Norton website found their step-by-step fix of the problem. And guess what? It didn't work. I've been screwing around with different set-ups for another hour, and then Norton came up with the page, saying that they cannot figure this problem out, and please call this #. It took about 20 mins to finally get through to the tech support person. After I've explained what happened and what I've already done he instructed me to remove the Norton from my laptop, which I did. And then the internet connection still didn't work. He suggested that I call the ISP, because it's not the Norton, but I have an issue with my provider. When I told him that it's not the provider, because my signal is perfect and I get online on the desk top with the same wire(the laptop doesn't have a wireless connection), he said that he was sorry but I have to call the provider and wished me a good night. I was furious. And still am. So no laptop for a week, till Jon gets to it. Because I don't think I can manually set up a network connection on my own. I need help.

The aroma of this blooming wild apple tree was irresistible.

Today was one of the worst days of my whole life. North East Regional Board clinical dental hygiene exam. The amount of stress that I have endured during those 4 hours was so enourmous that I feel like I've lost 4 years out of my lifespan. During the exam and while I was driving home I was shaking the whole time and now I feel as if I'm in a different dimension. The test is not cheap...$900 and I have to pass it to get my license to practice. The criteria that a patient has to meet to qualify for this exam are very particular, needless to say it took me a lot of time, patience, nerves, sleepless nights and $$$ to get this patient in my chair. Everything was fine till I realized at the beginning of the exam, that some of the teeth that I've selected for the exam previously, may not qualify due to caries that was nat visible on x-rays and was under the gums. At that moment I freaked out, I could feel my face flushing, my hands and legs shaking...I started to look around for different teeth to meet the selection criteria. The time was tight. All the rest seemed to flow OK. I just really truly hope that I pass this exam. I won't get the results till a month later. So God, please let me pass this exam and get my license as expected, I really cannot imagine going through this again. I want this to be done and over with.

Боже мои, как хочется гармонии в жизни и спокоиствия. Очень неприятныи период у меня сеичас, беспрестанныи стресс как в профессиональнои так и в личнои сфере. Планы, строившиеся уже пару лет, рассыпались в минуту и теперь неизвестность. Нужно начинать все с чистого листа...в которыи раз. Надоело. На данныи момент я пребываю в состоянии отрицания деиствительности, очень хочется верить что все ешё можно повернуть вспять...А нужно ли?

It feels quite awkward driving a sedan after 7 years of experinece with SUVs. Not used to sitting so low to the ground, lightweight, the gas pedal is touchier, but...the gas mileage has increased significantly. Will see how it handles in the snowy northeastern winter.

P.S. Miss my beautiful baby.

Вчера вечером на трассе, не дотерпев 17 миль до дома, моя девочка приказала долго жить. Вот так вот совсем невовремя я осталась без машины. Последние пару месяцев она сильно капризничала, потом неполадки были устранены, а теперь полетел двигатель. Представляте каково лететь 80 миль в час по левои полосе в плотном потоке машин, и вдруг раз и не прет машина. :) Слава Богу обошлось, отбуксировали. Теперь или менять двигатель на новыи, или избавляться от машины. Механик посоветовал последнее. И вот уже которыи час я пролопачиваю предложения многочисленных дилеров...Терпения бы мне и удачи...

Three Sundays in a raw the engine of my car is overheating all of a sudden. When it happened for the first time, I was driving to work, when about after 2 miles or 10 minutes of driving the sign "Check your gages" came up on the dashboard. Two minutes later I was parked on the hospital parking lot. I could see the antifreeze dripping. All shift I was worried about my car, then Jon came in to drive with me towards home. I poured more antefreeze in and drove all the way home staring at the dashboard watching the arrow. To my surprize it didn't overheat, the fan was clearly engaging. I was relieved, thinking that it was just a glitch in the system and my car is fine. I was driving the car without any problems the whole week, when on Sunday the car overheated again on my way to work. The sign came up on the dashboard on the same corner of the same street that it happened a week ago. This time I got to thinking that there's something wrong with the thermostat and called the shop the next day. But the car was driving fine again. So I didn't get to replace the thermostat. Guess what happened this past Sunday? Yep, on the same corner of the same street. What is this supposed to mean? I work every Sunday and cannot afford not to, so we'll see what happens on this coming Sunday.

Как я сегодня расстроилась...Я неделю жила без семечек. Поехала в магазин, чтоб закупиться на выходные. Зашла в магазин и первым делом понеслась к заветной полке. А там - пусто...Подхожу к владельцу магазина чуть ли не со слезами на глазах:"А семечки то где?". В ответ: "Чёрные закончились. Но есть белые на развес." А я только чёрные люблю. Не просто люблю...я ими живу. До такой степени, что на пальцах мозоли и кончик языка немеет. В понедельник новый завоз, а мне вот все планы на выходные обломились. Так хотелось посмотреть пару фильмов, семечек погрызть, ну как поп-корн. Эххх...
