Oops...disappeared for a bit
I’ve just about died on here…I’m sorry. In other news I got dropped on my head today doing a lift for the dance group I’m in. I’m okay! But kind of out of it. Hmm. It’s weird how fragile our bodies actually are.
And I dare you to tell me rodents that aren't the... →
iPhone woes
My iPhone decided to stop working last night/this morning so the alarm didn’t go off, and I missed an interview for a summer program. Thankfully I rescheduled with no hassle, but the phone is still acting funny. It drops the signal a lot and every now and then, the screen goes black and only shows the little apple logo in the middle. What is the meaning of this, o technology?
Life's full of tough choices, mm?
I chose to go to Costa Rica over spring break for free with my class that is studying reptiles and amphibians instead of going to Quasar spring break at Vanderbilt. I know I made the right decision for me, but why do I still feel guilty?

Life post-MCAT
has been pretty sweet. After much struggle, I managed to get the 4th book in the Eragon series onto my Kindle and I’ve been able to read some of it, but not as much as I’d like. Since I do not have a giant standardized test in the way any more, I should probably start applying to my various summer things, fill out a lab grant application (due Wednesday), buy books for classes, work...
breathe out
I’m done I’m done I’m done I can’t believe it. It was really difficult, but I’m hoping for the best despite everything.
Keeping life in perspective

“To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I’ve ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more: 1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good. 2. When in doubt, just take the next small...
Happy Chinese New Year!
Headed back to Boston today for an 11 am flight. Sad to leave, but it’s definitely time, and I am looking forward to some snowwww (this may change once I get what I wish for).
Sorry I’ve just about died on here—I promise I’ll be back as soon as Friday is over. It’s just that I find it difficult to really write or even think about anything else with the MeowCAT...

When people offer to buy me food.. →
Oh, no…thats fin- yes. Yes I want food.
In fact, I did this two days ago…

le happily chatting with E
E: [in regards to how people in CA have pools]....not everyone but a good number.
-17 minutes later-
Me: oh pretty neighborhood
sorry
i got distracted by a squirrel in the backyard
E: loll typical
Me: that appeared to have been eating fried chicken
E: LOL midwest.

Welcome back from Spain!!!
See you soon!
the first time I've turned on my computer in 4...
I’m impressed.

14 minutes long, but all very worth it.

My normal dental hygienist retired! This in itself is really not a big deal. It’s just that I’ve been going to the same dentist ever since I’ve had teeth, and having a new hygienist makes me feel so old since I’ve been there for so long and have always had the same lady clean my teeth. Plus the entire office knows our family. My dentist’s son is now practicing in...
I'm doin' it wrong
Isn’t your concentration supposed to be something you like? Something you’re GOOD at?
What is this I don’t even.
It's so hard to focus
The very last thing I want to do is study for this test. Must work harder.
I'm homeeeeee
Flew from Boston to Washington DC to Dayton. Everything was on time and both arrivals were even early! Then talked to my mom, ate a late dinner, showered, derped on tumblr and facebook, felt inadequate and lonely, realized those feelings were unfounded and kicked self for feeling that way, wrote my final report for HCRP, thought about my finals and how I really didn’t want to think about...
I refuse.
OEB59 Final: Blah blah blah listed below are 32 plants. For each one, identify a continent or country that could be its possible center of origin.
Me: No.
The Occupy movement? Pathetic, compared to this. →

This is a cool blog to follow
I very rarely reblog gifs…but this is hilarious. And true.
Aw.
Me: if you become an asshole, I just won't talk to you ever again. It's fine.
Sd: and that alone is reason enough not to become one.
Weird
Life rolls on so quickly. All I wanted to do was stop to feel sorry for myself, stop to take a break, stop to tie my shoe—life says no, we’re going. You’ll be fine. Okay so you can tie your shoe, but you’re not allowed to feel sorry. You’re not allowed to keep looking back, otherwise you might get stuck. Or you might fall into another pot hole and then be out of...
No Facebook for two whole days now
rewarded myself by getting on tumblr and looking at my dashboard. Whoooops.
“In 1951, roommates of Eliot House A-12 included Paul Matisse, grandson of French...”

Going into work mode
just realized that I have so much crap to do and will also have to go into lab during the end of reading period/finals week. I am hereby banning myself from my dashboard until I am all done. BRING IT.
Karma's a bitch
Me: check it out, this hole punch is retarded
Sh: ...it's not a hole punch, it's a metal-less staple. -demonstrates function of said metal-less staple-
Me: whoaaaaaaa
Sh: you're retarded.
oh and speaking of babies
I also found out that someone whom I went to high school with is pregnant. I know it’s not big news…but I stillllll can’t really wrap my mind around this idea of having kids or being married or even being engaged at the age of 20.
circle of life
Exactly two weeks until I go home. I say this every time but I can’t believe the semester is almost over! What happened? I can still remember the summer when I sat at my desk at TASER and never thought I’d finish my market research project. I can still remember walking through the sweltering heat of Shanghai, lamenting the fact I chose to go out with the other HSYLCers at the...
some things I've realized
I don’t do very well in situations where I’m not in control. As in, I don’t think I take orders very well, or enjoy taking orders. I’m very self conscious of my shortcomings and forget that maybe other people don’t even notice them, even though I do. I get very annoyed at people who aren’t friendly even after several introductions. There are just some...
Currently mad
Money matters are always really annoying. I wish I didn’t have to deal with them.

WatchI was gone in the first five seconds….didn’t really stop crying after that. Too heart-warming.
Back from Ohio
T-shirts exchanged, yoga mat acquired, 0 school work accomplished—it’s been a fantastic break.
It’s hard to believe that the first half of junior semester will be over in three weeks, and I’ll be back home again. Of course it’s the craziest three weeks of the semester (4 finals and 2 final papers WTF) but I guess I’m kind of looking forward to it? I only have...
a quiet inbox
only five emails? All of which were just through the Eliot list?
Sign of a relaxing Thanksgiving break. Much needed.

Hell yeah.

After that PS2 midterm my productivity has sputtered out and died…I mean there wasn’t much to sputter out to begin with but these past two days have just been soooo ridiculously chill. I watched youtube videos of “sleeping baby <insert animal here>” with E in Quincy dhall, I played pool in Eliot Grille, I’ve worked on zipcar/trip to Yale deets instead of...
