Doggy-style

This past week has been tough. I got surgery on Tuesday of last week (Oct. 17), which took a lot out of me. I was pretty doped up for a couple days after the surgery on oxycodeine (percocet), which really sucked, I didn't like the stuff at all. I felt absolutely worthless when I was on it and couldn't accomplish anything when there a lot to be accomplished. The next day after surgery, my girlfriend and I decided to drive out to Nebraska to see a Shiba Inu dog breeder. This is a breed that we've been talking about getting for a while now, and we finally found a good breeder that wasn't too far away. So, we ended up getting a 3 month old puppy, who we named Mika (The New Moon in Japanese).

I'm really happy with the decision to get a dog, she's awesome, and probably the cutest puppy I've ever seen. Other than that, all I've been doing is cramming for the O-chem exam that I took last night, memorizing mechanisms, for about a week straight. I didn't get out much this week... kind of a bummer. It's been snowing a lot for this time of the year though, so me and my honey were able to get out for a little xc skiing in North Boulder Park last weekend, even though I was only 4 days post-op and still in a sling. Ali and I gearing up for some Nor-dorkin'!

Tonight, I think I'll reemerse myself into the social network and attend the annual post-collegiate nats party. Unfortunatly, this year I don't have a national title to celebrate, but it'd probably still be a good idea to keep the champagne away from me, or run if you see any in my hands. Oh yeah, it's also the first night of Halloween partying, so I'll be rocking a costume!

Happy Halloween!
