Cuz I'm driving the crazy bus while texting...

So my interview at the med center officially start from tonight till the middle of the day Saturday.  I'm a nervous unprepared wreck.

I've pretty much lost it on the people I love (sorry!!) and I'm am a huge ball of scared, flustered and exhausted.  However, my bestie Yessica Martinez will probably punch me (knocking me out cold)if I do anything else remotely crazy so I don't ruin all my human relationships in my semi-not-bubbly state.  Also, the mountain dog men, who magically have tolerated my passive aggressive heart post-it notes and OCD episodes will probably pick me up in the middle of the night and put me out into the snow of I go nuts again....  Gawd I'm lucky to have such great friends to put up with my BS...
