t-minus three days

I finished my final an hour and a half ago but I'm still stranded inside the business building because it's pouring outside and I don't have my umbrella. I'm so hungry!! There's a cafe here but I want to go home and make a quesadilla. Blargh. And I really need to go home so I can do laundry because I'm wearing my last pair of underwear. (Too much info, you say? Ah well, too late.) It's also probably about time to change out of my pajama shirt. (I woke up early this morning and decided that it was still a prime pajama-wearing hour.) I had to do some last minute studying because last night I realized I had absolutely no idea what one of our lecture topics meant. I was looking at the slides and they just made no sense to me. We spent an entire lecture on it...I vaguely recall being there but who knows what I was actually doing during class...? Anyway, good thing I studied up on that this morning, because it came up on the exam!

Lots of goodbyes recently, more tonight, and more this weekend. I think the finality of this whole thing is slowly and surely sinking in, and it's kind of depressing. I mean, it'll be nice to see everyone back home again, but I'm not ready to leave yet. I love everything about this country...the people, the places, the sky, the water, the stars... everything in nature is somehow more beautiful here. Or maybe that's because I never really found the time to step back and appreciate all that back home? I guess I'll find out when I go back and view it all again with a fresh perspective.

See you soon <3

summer? summer?!

summer has been interesting. and when i mean interesting i mean textbook boring but very interesting to me. after i came home i studied for my MCAT and then after the test i decided to take a break that has now extended into a super long one month break. during the break, i would look for a job but couldn't find anything because for some reason im having a really hard time figuring out what i want to do. these last few weeks i realized that when im at school i operate like a bullet train just moving towards an end destination and a lot of what i do i just do to make the wheels turn so i do all this stuff without really thinking about what im doing and why im doing it. maybe im just trying to keep myself busy so i think im doing work.

after my MCAT i just felt so burnt out. so tired of working all the time and feeling like i had so many demands to meet. i think ive been focused on working hard and giving effort which of course counts but i also need to learn how to work smarter so there is a little more effortful production on my part. this is something im going to work on next year, starting now? and hopefully i wont feel as burnt out anymore.

i think all this self reflection actually came from working on my med school app and trying to look for a job. this summer i couldnt decide on a job because i was and still am so worried about how it might affect my admissions to medical school. i originally wanted to do something fun this summer but i worry because this is the last summer before i apply to medical school so i wanted to do something that will count and something that will be phenom for my app but i havent thought of any that i really want to do, that i feel wont be like what ive done before yet ill also like. and then i get stuck not sure about what to do again. and then i begin to worry about whether or not im ready for medical school. should i be applying? is being a doctor the right thing for me? gahhhhhh and now im back to square one. maybe i just need to stop thinking. go out some more.

but no worries ;) i promise my entire summer wont be like this im just going through a little phase. all this thinking also gets me thinking about how its our last year :O i want to do tons of amazing things next year you guys heard?!?!!!

miss you guys. i know it's only the end of june but i kind of miss school already and can't wait for us to all live near each other and all that jazz! i hope youre all having FANTASMIC summers!

some updates... and it's hot!

hey guys!

hope ya'll summers been going well :D

in case i haven't told you yet -- the biggest news on the block is that i got my license!!!!!! :D YAY!
stan would say, another female driver on the road = fail. but i'm actually not bad! i can even parallel park with ONE move :D WHAT NOW!

heheheh. i'm so glad that's OVER. but i almost got arrested on thursday for loitering at the rmv. since they wouldn't let me take the road test because "you were late." TOTALLY not true. SO was there on time. but anyway, it's a long story and i have typed WAY too much for one night.

in any case, it's hot right now in boston and i'm feeling a little scatter brained (as if i'm not that already on a daily basis). i think i'll go shower and wash my hair =\

ok i just got an email about someone commenting on my blog ... so odd. i don't think i know this person... um ok. well there's nothing wrong with one book enthusiast talking to another (sort of) on the posted book list!

peace + <3,

the 5 year countdown has begun

assumption: people all get married at around the same age

fact 1: my sister just accepted a proposal

logical conclusion: y'all walkin down the aisle in 5 years yo

Good day to you.

Hello. We should write in here again over the summer :O

So I'm doing well. Work has been pretty chill for the last week, after we had a big project due. Everything's kinda on the calm side right now, which is good.

Tim and Josh came down to visit NJ this weekend, we went to Six Flags. The lines were surprisingly short, although, it could've been due to a combination of gray weather, a Monday, school still in session, recession, or everything combined.

Anyway. Thought I'd re-start this, maybe hopefully everyone will come back on board now :P

CHEERS.
