A few weeks before I left for school I had cut my toe nails, just like I always do, but this time something went wrong. I am not even sure what, but the corner of my big toe had been red and hurting. So I went to “Dr. Mom” and she said it was an ingrown toe nail.

I got some sort of medication to put on it with this special little band-aid setup, but that didn’t seem to do what it was suppose to. So on Saturday I noticed that it was getting really red and starting to just not look good. Great, I am at school and now I have to find a doctor to take care of this for me.

Forget the health center on campus, that is a waste of time. The last time I went there which was the only time I was there, the doctor first, hit on me, then gave me medicine that wasn’t correct and didn’t solve the problem. Not going to do that again.

The urgent care here in Staunton isn’t that bad. It definitely isn’t the newest of buildings like my doctors office at home is, so that had me a little worried. But once I finally got into see someone I realized that this was going to turn out okay.

My dear friend Ashley came with me, first of all she is a healthcare major and knows anything healthcare related. But she was also there to hold my hand when the doctor, who Ashley claims was pretty cute, numbed my toe and started to work on it. Ashley was great, she talked to me about anything while the doc was working. The doctor was even super nice about the whole thing, I told him right off the bat that I had issues with doctors and not to take it personally. He totally understood and made things much better. I guess if I hadn’t been in pain and near the brink of passing out, I would agree with Ashley’s statement about him being cute. Maybe. But I really didn’t care how the person looked, I just wanted to make sure they knew what the hell they were doing.

It could have been worse, but it wasn’t and I survived going to the doctor without my parents. So now I have antibiotics in my system and bandaged big toe. I walk around campus kinda funny, and with these hills it is a challenge. So there you have it, if you were incredibly board and wanted to read about my life, the soga of Sarah’s toe!

People have many “firsts” in their lives. When we are little we have our first words, then steps, then soon it is our first day of school, elementary school. As time goes on and we grow the “firsts” become a little more exciting and scary all at the same time. First day of middle school, then high school, then there is the first day of your senior year of high school. I thought for sure that I would remember that day for the rest of my life, but I don’t.

Today while the rest of the world had the day off, I woke up and went to the gym to work out and then get ready for the first day of my senior year of college. Let me tell you, I thought that it would be really special, but not really. I am not sure how to react to the fact that it was the last first day of school, ever. Grad school will be totally different, chances are most of the classes will be online, so it will all on my own time. No more first day of school outfits and nervousness of the day.

Will I remember today? Maybe. Will I remember the year? Most definitely. Am I excited for what the future holds? You have no idea, bring it on!!

My Dad loves indulging me in my geekness. He sends me something tech related at least once a week if not more. So today I thought that I would share with you his latest. It is a list of the 20 best ringtones and text message alert sounds for the geek/tech/gadget/sci-fi aficionado. Some of them I really wasn’t sure what they were, but then I read the little description that I am omitting in my post but can be read here. For the most part I thought that they were clever.

Here are the top 10 must have ringtones:

10. Dial-Up Modem Sequence 9. Futurama Theme 8. Hiphopopotomas (Flight of the Conchords) 7. Windows 95 Startup Tone  6. R2D2 5. TIE Fighter Theme 4. Kill Bill Theme 4. Kill Bill Theme (Sarah note, this is so not geeky, but whatever) 3. Ralph WIggum 2.Code Monkey (Jonathan Coulton) 1. CTU Phone Ring

Here are the top ten must have test tones:

10. Post Beep  9. Price is Right (Fail Horn) 8. Murloc Gurgle 7. Wookie Growl 6. Zelda Chest Opening Chime  5. KITT 4. Lightsaber Swoosh 3. Battlestar Galactica Cylon 2. Metal Gear Solid Codec Alert 1. Star Trek Communicator

Now comes the 5 ringtones to avoid:

5. The Halo Theme 4. “Is anyone there?” from Portal 3. That noise Will made when he fell off the Showdown bull 2. Star Trek Theme 1. Tay Zonday

Text tones to avoid:

5. Wilhelm Scream 4. Lumbergh’s “Yeaaaaah” from Office Space 3. Timmmmay! 2. Leroy Jenkins 1. Apple startup chime (Sarah note, so totally do not argree, but what can I say Maxium PC came out with this list.)

There you have it my fellow geeks. Let’s face it, if you read blogs, have a blogs, or just are bumming around on the internet, you have a little bit of geekness in your personality!
