10 years...

I got tagged by Natalie (and I've been a little slow on the uptake...always the fat kid in dodgeball).

So, 10 years ago: I was a sophomore at AHS, was very single (went to Winter Formal that year with Austin Denny), was a Class Favorite nominee (but Ashleigh Connely Kelley won that year), and had just broken my thumb (and scraped 1/2 my face) on a Young Life ski trip. When the cast came off, tennis dominated my time; I wore my letter jacket very proudly & tied yellow ribbons in my ponytail for good luck during our tournaments. Meredith & I played doubles that year & we lost in a playback in district (though we shouldn't have!). Sara (Butler) Smith was one of my main partners in crime, and we had many serious boy discussions over bottled Frappucinos. I ate Taco Bueno religiously. I turned 16 in April; our families had a suprise party for Leila & me together at Spanish Oaks, the Parker's Ranch, and I got a little green Audi (which I loved dearly) for my 1st car. The Senior Class of '98 was BIG TIME--so much older, so much cooler.

Things on my to-do list today: no work for me today!
-breakfast with Russ & Ryan before they left town
-pay my last school tuition
-run (didn't happen)
-nap to recover from my overnight ER shift (also didn't happen)

What would I do if I suddenly became a Billionaire?
I'd still practice medicine, but I'd also...
-make sure the family & the future kiddos were well taken care of
-start a Christian childrens' home
-run a nursing home (too many of these people come to the hospital dirty, with bed sores!)
-donate $ for medical research & free clinics
-travel

Three of my bad habits:
1. compulsively checking my email
2. stressing to the point of getting sick
3. not keeping in touch

Jobs I've had: (Not many! But I'll be out of school in 82 days!)
research in an ophthalmology lab, tutor for other medical students, tennis coach at AHS camps, kids of the kingdom sub

Five things people don't know about me:
-I'm a perfectionist (oh, wait, everyone knows that).
1. I have creepy, curly, parrot toes. I can pinch with them and could probably hang upside down.
2. I had hip dyplasia & had to wear a "frog leg" brace as a baby.
3. I hate to watch TV (except for Grey's Anatomy!).
4. I'm addicted to the trashy magazines in the grocery store checkout line.
5. I'm overly sensitive & cry really easily.

I tag Leila & Katie (who don't even have blogs yet, but are working on them...right, girls?).
