So I am at work on break. It is clear that my co-worker forgot she is working tonight with me. =( So now I will be here all by myself till 7:30pm.
It has been nice to have a bit of a break. My class ended at the beginning of last month so I have been working in the meantime. I have finally been able to read something that is not a textbook and make some money. I have made enough money to afford an MCAT class, pay for the two classes I will be taking in fall, and have money for textbooks. That's pretty damn nice even though my job is ending on the 28th of this month. It's alright because I'll have another job soon, even though it sadly won't be in medical research. Oh well.
Plane tickets are way too expensive in December. Oh well.
Anyways, I wish I could go back to Berkeley next month for a weekend but the months have been flying by so dang fast I'll never get the time. In 2 weeks my classes start and things will be hectic from then on. I'm just glad I am done with biochemistry and I won't have to take another one of those horrible classes unless I have to take some in medical school. Oh the horror that is biochemistry.
Well i better be off and start calling old people. I still can't believe sharon ditched me. She is going to get an evil facebook message. Hmmmmm....

I was in lab on tuesday and a friend of mine said "i'm so excited, I'm going to the midnight showing of Harry Potter tonight!" He then began telling me about how they changed the opening night to tuesday and how stupid that was, blah blah blah.
But I realized, wow, I had no idea Harry Potter was even suppose to come out this weekend. I knew it was coming out in July sometime before the book, but I was more concerned with the book and heck, I don't even know the date the book is coming out.
What happened to me? I used to be such a nerd, going to midnight showings, I knew all the dates things were coming out, and now, I just hate biochemistry and work all day. But then I thought some more and I know when the Bleach movie is coming out on DVD in Japan which means there will finally be a subtitled version of the movie, I have already been telling my friends that next month one of them is obligated to come with me the day Stardust opens aaaannnnddd if they have a midnight showing, by myself or with friends, I am going to see The Golden Compass the day it comes out!!! So then I didn't feel so bad because I guess there is still quite a bit of nerd left in me. ^_^
*And to be more nerdy, I actually remember the scene my icon is from and I believe I even have the episode! It's a sad scene by the way. :'( *

OMG, really I don't understand people in this world. I don't care if your from Venezuela, have you never heard the name Fidel Castro? Why on Earth would those stupid people re-elect that idiot Chavez for the third time? I know the election was a couple months ago, but each and every day that stupid man is bringing that country into the "enlightened" socialist country he keeps dreaming about. And he's taking other south american countries with him! Ugh, we just got rid of one dictator and now another one popps up.
And you know what else? My insurance sucks and so does my stupid doctor. Grrrr....I feel better now. And Americans are crazy, WTF, bombing the hell out of Somalia? I mean I understand why they did it and I'm not entirely opposed to it. I just wish someone would go into that poor country and help out the citizens but that's a whole other story.
I would like to thank Jonathan for my $25 coffeebean gift card and for showing me the BBC news website. I don't feel like your typical uninformed American anymore. =D
Stupid Chavez, I hope he gets assassinated by Miss Venezuela.

Organic Chemistry is killing me. I hate this stuff, I have to get up at 6am every day and I have tons of boooooooring work to do. Ugh, I give a big round of applause for people who do this each and every day. In the end, I'd be too afraid I'd kill myself on accident.
Last night I almost made the biggest mistake in my life. I was talking with my boyfriend and convinced myself I wanted to go to graduate school rather than medical school, so I dropped my lab class and added another one. The moment I submitted the drop, I freaked out and felt like I had just killed someone. I tried re-enrolling in the class but the enrollment was closed and I was panicking. It was really bad and the stress from classes has messed up my stomach again so I had to stop doing work at 2:20am because all I wanted to do was throw-up. So I tried sleeping and told myself everything was going to be fine and I would just lie tomorrow and say I accidentally dropped the class. I'm waiting for the lady in charge of enrollment to come back from lunch, and I don't think there will be too much of a problem to get back in to the class. The wait-lists have been closed and I've already turned in lab work and completed 2 labs.
So for me, that was my wake-up call that despite how much I loathe medical school, it's where I belong and it's what I really want to do. It doesn't mean I'm going to study for quizzes or have this new zest for studying organic chemistry, it just means, I'll keep on going and do my best to do as much work as I can without messing up my stomach too much.
This is such a pain because the stress really is killing my stomach. For the past few weeks I wake up with a stomach ache that won't go away till I eat something. In fact, if I hold off eating, the stomach ache gets worse till it bothers me so much I just go eat. My eyes look terrible too, they are both really dry and irritated. It's such a pain to sometimes not be able to wear contacts.
And on top of it all, I miss my boyfriend soooooo much. I don't know how I'll be able to stand another 4 months of this. I barely made it through this past month. There is now no question in my mind that as much of next summer and winter I will be spending it in Brazil. I'll be away from my family who always complains about me being serious about someone who lives so far away. And, I'll be able to be around him and feel so much better. It's horrible to say, but even my friends can't make me very happy anymore. Nothing is ever really fun anymore.
*sigh* I'm going to eat some of the white bread I brought with me. After last night, I figured I should be nice on my stomach and give it something that's easy to digest.

Last night was the fraternities sleep over that horray once again I didn't find out about till Thursday, the day before. Whatever and those beer-brewing people wanted to use our kitchen again. Okay fine, no worries.
At 1am the fraternity members sleeping over were super loud and were literally running all over the place downstairs. I know from the loud banging I kept hearing. Before they were always forced to be quite after 12pm or so. Had to turn up music very loud to block them out so I could go to sleep.
Wake up this morning and go downstairs. A guy put a mattress on one of the dining room tables we eat on and was sleeping on it. No I idea where the mattress came from either. Plenty of space elsewhere but apparently on top of the dining room tables was the most convenient spot. Then inside the kitchen there were boxes on the floor and those long plastic thingies filled with air used for packaging (not the bubble wrap) lying around on the counter and floor. It was from those people who brewed beer.
Do I have a right to be mad and tell Mike (the house manager in charge of fraternity) he needs to really step up and take charge? The last time the fraternity was over, the weekend they had a party and barbecue, our DVD player and gamecube were stolen along with a textbook.
And I'm sorry but our kitchen doesn't have too much walking space and those boxes are big getting very much in the way. And those mattresses are shady and now they are spreading whatever it is they have on our kitchen table.
Or...is it just that I'm being too crazy? As a manger I don't think so, maybe even too lax, but either way I am talking to Mike about all this. I personally think it's crap. Am I right or being too prude?

Why is it in my discussions I have to be stuck with all the dumb freshman! I got stuck being my groups "recorder" because that dumb sorority B#$% who complained all hour last week because she had to sit on the grass and that guy decided not to do anything all weekend. So naturally, my GSI picks me because I'm the only with a brain. Horray!
So I email all these punk asses what they have to do and I get an email back from this girl (the other genius whore in my group) asking me how she is suppose to define these terms. Bitch! You were in class and heard the same thing I heard! How am I suppose to define things better? Read the goddam review sheet like I did! I'm gonna skin her alive if I ever get the chance....or just think about doing it......her and that sorority chick.......
I hate that stupid class because our GSI always makes us do tons of work and the people are retardes! How did they manage to get into this school?

I finally saw that music video (if it can be called that)of "The Internet is for Porn" from Avenue Q with Warcraft characters. Some people really have too much time on their hands, but it was pretty damn funny. Wasn't as funny as that Fear of Girls video. Wow, I hope their really aren't people like that in this world.
My goal last night of filling an entire row at Raiders of the Lost Ark was sort-of accomplished. If everyone I knew sat next to each other, we'd have a whole row to ourselves and a little spill over into another row. Yes! Wait till X-Men 3 and I'll beat that! ^_^ What sucked was that Megan wasn't there but hopefully, she got a present.
At least I have some kind-of goal....o_O
Opps, I should get my laundry and take a nap. I wish I had gone to class today because I'd be tired by now and ready for a nap. Boo, but I'm sure I'll be able to fall asleep. I look half dead even though I got 6 hours of sleep.
Do you have an unemployed fiancee?

This weekend was exhausting to say the least. Saturday I was constantly moving about doing things and I ended up staying at home and going to the fraternity's party downstairs. That was interesting and the next morning my friend Annie told about what she had done the previous night. Hmm....but I wasn't surprised. She told me to keep what happened a secret and was asking for advice, but that's pointless when the entire graduate Nuclear Engineering Department knew about what happened by Monday. No fights though.
Armin van Buuren was amazing! I feel like I didn't pay enough money to be in that super nice club hearing the music was I hearing. But I can't complain $20 is a sweet deal and it was just crazy. He played for ~ 3 hours. I will bug both Jonathan and Jeremy for pictures and put them up. I was dead yesterday since I got about 4 hours of sleep and my back was in lots of pain. Not to mention I kept heard a ringing noise all day and my voice was slightly gone. ^_^
But alas, I have a problem set due tomorrow and discussion topic to write tonight, but at least my internet works. Some of these children's books are depressing....
Now it's off to school and let's hope I don't kill my back anymore.

Ohhhhhh mmmmmyyyyyyyyyyy goooooooodddddd. Sooooooooo much stuff to do! It's exhausting trying to find a new chef. Looking over resumes, answering questions, and I still don't have much of a good idea what's really going on. My roommate keeps telling me new things I should be doing everyday but I had no idea due to a crappy kitchen manager before me. Oh well, I do the best I can with what I have been told and call it a day.
Speaking of days...oh my god, I got stuck going out with Jonathan (person I really like) and his girlfriend for dinner Saturday night! It was okay, but she doesn't like me very much. It was the first time I had meet her other than earlier on that day when she gave me blank looks all the time. I told Kathy about what happened and she put it the best way: Jonathan's girlfriend is envious of the relationship Jonathan and I have, even if it's only as friends. Hence her being super territorial around him and giving me those random "Ugh, you are so base and beneath me" looks. Most of the dinner I felt like she was judging and analyzing me. I actually felt embarressed to eat! It came as no surprise to me that Jonathan spent the night at her house two nights in a row and still hasn't come back today. They have issues that I'm glad I'm not involved in. o_O
But it does sort of suck because I wanna go see an awesome DJ at the end of this month and Jonathan will kill me if I don't go with him. Naturally, he will bring his girlfriend and the other people going with us will be my friend Annie and her boyfriend. Horray! The fifth wheel with a girlfriend who doesn't like me and gets all mad if I even say "hello" to her boyfriend. Great, but I don't care, I'm gonna go, have fun, talk to Jonathan all I want and she can deal with it. She's not my problem.
*sigh* But it's all good, I'm alive and gonna go see Last Holiday today with myself! And next week I'm gonna book my Peru trip! ^_^ Horray!

Ugh, I really don't want to be here right know as much as I am enjoying listening to the hot Nazi signing on the soundtrack from The Producers and eating my Smart Alex's salad. I've had a blast these past few days due to my amazing friends and birthday. Jo was relatively normal during the 3 days I was stuck with her.
Maybe I am just a little worried about all the crap I have to do. The first phone call I got on my birthday was a call from my chef telling me she is quitting. Great, I have to find and interview a bunch of new chefs. Oh well, it could be worse, but it's hard to think how......o_O
But the best part is....THIS WILL BE MY LAST SEMESTER HERE! ^_^ And I am really gonna try my damn hardest to do the best I can and get letters of recommendations. I think if I try I'll be able to get some and pull off decent grades. Poo....I have a lot to study and do this next semester.
Oh well, I am eating yummy food, dreaming of hot gay Broadway singers, and it's not raining outside! That's gotta count for something! :)

I can't believe how much it is raining. I rained practically every day but Wednesday.
Anyways, life has some how been going on despite the fact I keep missing Japanese class to do other things.
I made it through break but the whole time just wanted to come home. I almost broke up with my boyfriend (we are fine now), I only saw Kathy and we barely hung out for more than an hour the two times we got together. Also, I had to spend most of my nights sleeping on a damn couch unless I spent the night at my boyfriends. On Sunday I discovered I scheduled a flight from Oakland to LAX rather than the other way around so I had to wait till Monday morning to fly out. That basically ruined my whole Sunday.
But now I'm back and feeling the pressures of finals. My friends don't help much always talking and bugging me. Yet despite how much they bug me and prevent me from sleeping, it's worth every minute.
New Years Eve looks like it is going to be a lot of fun and I hope a lot of my friends will come with me. I'm sure they will, definitely Kathy, Marne, and Susan. We'll probably be able to rope Vicente in and Jo might come up from San Diego. It'll be the first time I've gone somewhere for New Years and it should be a lot of fun.
Oh and I have awesome Christmas presents for people I know they will love! I'll have to buy Susan some pretty flowers in congratulations for getting published! Getting your research published in a professional journal or magazine means hello to just about any graduate school. *shakes fist* Damn it! Lucky her!
Now I will continue to drink my rather bitter coffee and go to Japanese. Shit, I just realized I have a Kanji quiz in 15 mintues.

I have to give thanks to my man Jonathan for fixing my crazy computer! (what the hell is this song? Not that it's bad, it's just so random) He wiped out my entire hard-drive and I still need to re-install photoshop CS and other programs, and get a few more, but all in all, my computer works again. I couldn't access my email for months from my computer but now I can do everything.
Not to mention he gave me a bunch of stuff I didn't have before and tons of music! ^_^
It is sometimes good to live in a house full of geeks and have a graduate student in nuclear engineering living in the room next to you. It makes up for all the times he's tried to kill me and beat with either pillows or the stuffed animals on my bed.

Midterm didn't go so bad yesterday and Advil can work some miracles. But...my head feels horrible right now and I am so glad I decided not to go to Japanese this morning. Actually it's really bad I'm not going since I didn't go on Monday either, but ugh *stabs Japanese class*.
So I've noticed my grades are crap this semester, interesting. I guess I've reached my school tolerance limit. No more school! *tears fall*....but I need to get a PhD.
And I have decided that Jonathan, 1 of the guys who lives in the room next to mine, is a very bad influence on me. He is slowly turning me into a juvenile delinquent. Last night I was throwing pennies through his window and then he threw them back, then I threw them on the windows downstairs while my friend was near them. :P It was a lot of fun though.
Head is feeling better, painkillers working. Off to wait for the psych & edu library to open so I can return some books.
