It's been a good night after a good day, week - hell, it's been the best school year of my life, and it's not over yet. Even when I bitch about the exams or the work (minimal, but I still bitch), I have fun with the people in my class. And yet there are still days where all I want is to be alone. To be missed and asked after, but still I just ( Read more... )

I recently decided that I am not a patient person. I hate waiting in line at the grocery store; slow or inattentive drivers at stop lights drive me CRAZY; waiting for books or movies to come out is torture; I don't like waiting for people to make decisions. I understand making decisions can be hard, but wtf? Given having all the appropriate ( Read more... )

Wow. I just realized how much I've changed in the past few months. I love med school and med schoolers. I go out all the time - both with just hanging out and drinking. And it's with people I adore. The parties are crazy, but it's a different crazy. It's more mellow-crazy because we know we'll be doing it again in less than a week. Unless it ( Read more... )

Oof. I hate exams. Esp ones where you have to rotate from question to question every 2 minutes without being able to go back. I hate that. And I hate the whole exam with in-class portion and take-home portion. And I hate cars that don't start. Before anatomy exams. So they make me late to my exam. In case you can't tell, it's been a ( Read more... )

Wow. Today was a good day for me - class was cancelled in the afternoon, I spent an hour outside throwing a frisbee around, then hung out at home, and then went to a "party" (more of a hanging out deal with quesadillas) where I just talked to a bunch of people. I really like my classmates - so much more than I thought I would. I'm probably a ( Read more... )

Oof. I'm exhausted. Orientation week is so incredibly stressful. It's (luckily) been fun; I've made a few friends, exchanged a few phone numbers, etc. But I'm so tired. And I'm losing my voice since I've spent 4 of the last 5 nights talking to people in very loud bars. Most of them were loud because of the med students, which made it fun. ( Read more... )

Fantastic weekend. Lots of hanging out and drinking and eating and playing frisbee. It was a great way to end the summer. But now it's med school time =(

I know I'm pretty bad at dancing, esp if there are set steps to follow. I have a fairly awful sense of rhythym, which is just embarrasing. But I still really enjoy it, even when I'm wearing heels for 4 hours. It's just plain fun. =)

It's been a very good few days. I had a great birthday (I had no expectations, thus everything was amazing - I love it when that works). Fanzi, Melissa (her sister), Carl, and Zhubin from high school came in and I realized again that I miss them and need to visit them/make them visit me. We went to the Anheiser-Busch brewery tour, and as Fanzi ( Read more... )

Just back in St Louis after a brief trip to see the parents. I think I've reached the point where home isn't where my parents are any more. I'll still call it home because what else am I supposed to call it? But I'm more comfortable in my own place and city now, even though no one's here. I miss the Uni people a lot, and it's not that I don't ( Read more... )
