(no subject)
ok, first of all sorry for my long absence from the livejournal world. This past semester has been pretty crazy for me and I just haven't had the time to sit down and properly update this thing. I got back on Facebook earlier tonight. I am now more convinced than ever that this evil invention is some crazy psychology experiment put forth by Mark Zuckerberg (whoever the hell that is) in order to see how easily ego-centric college students are entertained by peeking into the pseudo-worlds of people's lives. I say pseudo-world because facebook tricks you into thinking you actually know whats going on with people. You can be "buddies" with complete strangers and even create a whole alter-ego or persona. A friggin potato owns a facebook. Ok, I don't like to think of myself as stuck-up...but I know I definitely don't want to be grouped on the same level as a potato. Anyways, I guess what I'm really getting at is that its all just a big social game that people play to waste/spend their time. Facebook is only really useful if you actually talk to and are in REALITY friends with the people on your buddy list. An inside joke posted on your wall can put a smile on your face when you are having a crap-ass day. But seriously, thats the only thing "the book" is any good for. oh- and its also kinda freaked me out that within 3 hours of re-registering my account from my facebook hiatus..about 6 people had already left comments along the lines of..."where you been?!?"..."welcome back"...and the like. So in this aspect I guess facebook is addicting because it gives you some sense of importance- however false that may be. After all this...you may ask yourself why I'm back on the book. Well that is Sara's fault. She is completely addicted to the thing and has repeatedly threatened me with the fact that facebook will be her only form of communication while she is in the North Pole. So, for now, I'm back on it. Anyways...so yeah...mare called it first...and I will be the one to call it second...one day facebook will take over the world....end of facebook rant.
phew....my finals are over...now I have a little over a week and a half to rest before my summer school starts. It should not be too bad. I'm only taking a speech class and physics lab. The only thing I'm kinda worried about is the lab- the priest who is teaching it is known to be a hardass...but oh well..what can you do? -nothing- except suck it up and do what you gotta do, oh and maybe pray a little-ok, a LOT.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to summer, but I'm afraid I will totally miss my sister. She's leaving for Finland on June 14th and won't be back until early August. I have to admit sometimes she tests my patience, but I really love her- and I know I'm going to miss her. I was looking at my previous journal entries, and on the one for my 20th birthday I have listed as one of the things that I have learned is "My sister is the best friend I never knew I had."- and I can't get over how true this is. Hopefully I will be too preoccupied with other things to truly get depressed over her absence. When it really comes down to it, mostly I guess I'm really just afraid of living by myself with my mom for 3 months. Sara has always acted as a type of buffer in our little family unit. With the buffer gone- I don't want chaos to erupt.
In other news, I am in anticipation of my MCAT scores- which I will know around June 16th. What exactly I will be doing for the remaining of my summer totally depends on these scores. If they don't make the cut, then its my nose to the books again to give it another try in August. If I'm happy with them- then its HELLO SPAIN! Anyways, I've already decided that if by chance I don't get to go to Spain this summer, I will definitely try to go next year. I want to be able to have a little taste of the study abroad experience.
Ok, more updates later...I'm tired damnit! P.S. Thank you Mare for your awesome help with the lj cut...you know how much of a computer retard I am- you are numero uno!!!
