Giant Butters: November 2010
http://giantbutters.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 15, 2010. As a class we received our tickets for next month's Graduation Ceremony. Only 4 tickets per student. Some people are pissed, but whatever. I don't have any family coming (since it is such a short and small ceremony, and because I'll be back in Chicago two days later, I told my family to stay home), and no friends coming (who would I invite - the two guys I'm dating? I gave my tickets away. Dry Erase Marker Teaching Assistant Guy. Last year I completely stalked this TA who used ...

Giant Butters: March 2010
http://giantbutters.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 9, 2010. I have a recurring dream in which I'm always late getting somewhere important. The setting and scene is always different, but each time, I'm in a situation in which I'm trying to get somewhere, and for various reasons I just can't get there. Posted by Giant Butters. Friday, March 5, 2010. The Saddest Question I've Ever Uttered. What are your hours during Spring Break? Me to the Lau Library front desk this morning. So Spring Break begins today in about 2 hours, right after my Med-S...

Giant Butters: August 2010
http://giantbutters.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 28, 2010. Saturday night Emily took me to the Nats game. First time at the new park in the year I've been back. We scored sweet seats and had a good time, catching up on each other's lives over the last month, drinking summer shandys. The Nats won. It was my first Saturday night back in town, and it was the perfect way to ease into the new (and last, praise baby Jesus) school year. Of which I am petrified. But anyways. Posted by Giant Butters. Friday, August 27, 2010. I miss my family.

http://giantbutters.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 21, 2011. Let It Be NCLEX Exam, Just Let It Be. For the last few weeks I've been studying for the NCLEX back here in Chicago. About 8 hours a day, 6 days a week since Jan. 3rd. The exam is tomorrow morning at 8 am. I took the day off today to give my head a well-needed break from practice questions. Went to a movie this afternoon to enjoy some mindless diversion. I'm not sure it worked. To by nursing career thus far. I'm taking these as good signs for tomorrow. Posted by Giant Butters.

Giant Butters: ... And So It Begins...
http://giantbutters.blogspot.com/2009/08/and-so-it-begins.html
Tuesday, September 1, 2009. And So It Begins. Since I arrived in town, and for many days before, the weather had been typical DC August - hot and muggy. But like in a movie, today came around and it was cloudy and cool. It was like summer was suddenly over and with the flip of a switch it is now Fall. . Now my feet won't touch the ground.". And I cracked a smile through DuPont Circle feeling good about the weather and the first day of orientation ahead of me. Posted by Giant Butters. Ah GB, you just need...

Giant Butters: I Accidentally Got Drunk...
http://giantbutters.blogspot.com/2010/10/i-accidentally-got-drunk.html
Friday, October 22, 2010. I Accidentally Got Drunk. Is it bad to show up to a second date drunk? Besides, I am kinda nervous about this date, which starts in about 15 minutes. I'm not sure I'm very compatible with this guy. He's really cute and very sweet. But personality-wise we may not be in sync. So a little alcohol-fueled bravado might be a good thing. For me, anyway. Maybe not so much for him. PS - In case you were wondering, I was drunk when I wrote this post. Yay for me. Posted by Giant Butters.

Giant Butters: December 2009
http://giantbutters.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 31, 2009. Because I'm prone to sentimentality and nostalgia, New Years Eve is always a big deal to me. I think it's important to reflect. I think for me at least, I like to look back and know that my life is evolving. That I'm at least a little bit different, and hopefully better, than I was a year ago. Am I closer today to the person I want to be than I was a year ago? Cheers and Happy New Year, all. And to a great 2010! Posted by Giant Butters. Wednesday, December 30, 2009. A friend ...

Giant Butters: Open Letter To My Boyfriend, Ben Zo
http://giantbutters.blogspot.com/2010/10/open-letter-to-my-boyfriend-ben-zo.html
Tuesday, October 26, 2010. Open Letter To My Boyfriend, Ben Zo. Since we met about a month ago (can you believe it's been that long? You've completely changed my life. For the better, mostly. You've taken away most of the anxiety of this last - and hardest - semester of school. It's true - because of you, I simply just don't get worked up over the little things. You've helped me see the silver lining in the clouds that make up my sad little student life. Who has time for dates? They say. ". And on the on...

Giant Butters: Getting a Lemon Lobbed at Your Junk Is Not a Good Way to Start the New Year
http://giantbutters.blogspot.com/2011/01/getting-lemon-lobbed-at-your-junk-is.html
Saturday, January 1, 2011. Getting a Lemon Lobbed at Your Junk Is Not a Good Way to Start the New Year. This morning, I was laying in the hotel room bed while Anthony was attempting to juggle with three lemons. (He wasn't doing it well.) At one point he threw one to me while I wasn't paying attention and it smacked me right in my balls. Goddamn, I have not been hit in the balls in probably 20 years and had forgotten how much it hurts. Like, indescribable, mind and soul-numbing pain. The nut-shot throw up!
