alternate study space
also known as A.S.S.

I have found it! Starbucks on Central is my new ASS!! For the last couple of days I've been going to Starbucks to study. It gets me out of the house, away from the internet and to studying. It's working for me so far so I think I will continue going there, ESPECIALLY if I'm not feeling motivated to study; which is EVERYDAY!

listening to: Will I-RENT OG broadway recording. it's the best!

this is what someone posted on this blog group i'm in. v. straaaange

hello everyone. i heard some interesting information on the radio this morning. apparently we will be able to see Mars clearer than we ever have sometime soon. but that is not the news i am talking about. what i heard was this lady talking about her belief that all Chinese people are Martians. it was very intriguing she belongs to a special "club" a cult you might say that believes that Chinese people are decendents of aliens. isn't that awesome? so when asked what the culture of aliens were she responded with they have a very asian influenced style. ummmm, k.........just thought i'd share this tidbit with the Chinese folk out there, apparently you guys are all aliens, and not the illegal kind either.

when in doubt, go to a study group session

that's the lesson of the day. i had a TOTALLY crappy day at school today. I think it was a mixture of frustration, being overwhelmed, fatigue and brain overload. BUT everytime I feel this way, and I think I'm gonna go crazy.....I go study w/ my group and I feel so much better! There's this group I study with and they're really cool. We discuss one subject and go over all the lectures to date and it really helps. I also need to bulk up on my studying alone time. I seem to find myself wasting time in my apartment. So what I'm gonna try this week going to A.S.S.(alternative study spaces) to a. get me offline, b. away from the tv, c. away from the phone(sort of) and d. to studying!! Hopefully it works out. We get out at 3 tomorrow, so I'm planning on going to starbucks either right after or something like that. Then tomorrow we're going to go to the HIP HOP class at the LA fitness in La Verne. WOOHOO! Dancing is awesome. Can't wait. Plus I think Novette is gonna go so good times will be had. Ok I gotta get ready for bed. Night all!

Feeling Better

I had study group today and it helped a lot. It's so different when you're actually prepared for study group. It goes along smoother. So hopefully this will motivate me to keep on top of things.

listening to: Painter Song-Nora Jones

hey all. it's the weekend!! woohoo. i had planned to study hard core today but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen. I mean some of my fellow students seem so much more gung ho than I am...like ppl are going to anatomy lab every day after class....just all this stuff. somehow i feel like i should be more into this studying thing. but, i guess i shouldn't compare myself to other people. but i'm scared that maybe i'm not studying enough even though i understand all the stuff i'm learning. i do think i should be reviewing more. there's a study group today that i'm going to. i dunno how exactly we're gonna study but i'm gonna make the effort to go. i hope it is helpful. i was just never good at group studying. i'm cool with studying with someone else or like 2 other ppl. but i think our group is like 6 people it's crazy.

anyway i gotta pack and get ready to go home...then i think i'll eat cuz i'm getting hungry.

listening to: some commercial on the radio...i just heard a song by outkast on kroq....so weird

FREAKING OUT!!!!!!!! and this is JUST for anatomy. insanity i tell you!! and oh yeah...DON'T PROCRASTINATE IN MED SCHOOL!!

listening to: my braincells hanging on for dear life

Well yesterday was my white coat ceremony which marks the beginning of my medical career and the end of my social life as we know it! haha. Nah it won't be but I will be remarkably busy. I'm scared that I won't be able to balance my personal and academic life but since I do have concerns about that already--even before I start--then maybe I will be concious of it and succeed in doing so.

I don't really have much to say....what have I been up to. OH i watched CSUSB's production of "Into the Woods". Considering it was a college play putting on a broadway play....I really really enjoyed it. The music was cool, the actors were great overall. Everyone except for maybe a couple of people could sing very well. I also watched "A Midsummer Night's Dream" there the next day, but I didn't enjoy it as much as ITW. My friend was in it and played Demetrius. He did a really good job. What killed the play for me was the girl who played puck mostly, the guy who played lisander(sp?) and a couple other ppl in the company(not b/c they couldn't act but b/c I really couldn't understand them; no offense to them b/c they were deaf but I just couldn't understand them on top of the shakespearean language). But I commend the casts of both b/c I know I sure as hell couldn't get up there and pretend I'm someone else and do a good job. :D

i'm all moved in! it only took two days so i'm glad that it worked out ok. kyle's family helped me move my stuff in, along w/ darren. then at night my mom and sis came over and helped me clean. today novette came to visit me...my first visitor! and she brought some thai food...yum. it was really good timing cuz matess and i were getting hungry. it's fun setting up a new place. your old things find new places and everything is like new. :) i feel like i have stuff to do...but i havne't organized my head to think about it yet. perhaps i should make a list of things to do. i know i want to change my sprint plan and phone number...and i have to cancel the gas and electric in philly....but amy never emailed me back. then i just gotta get ready for school in general. orientation is in two days...craziness. then it's school like i've never had before. 8-4 everyday....WOOHOO! i'm SO looking fwd to it. bleh. hopefully it will be fun...but when is studying ever fun. *shrug* alrighty i'm gonna continue to take my lil weave thingie i got from seaworld out of my hair...it's annoying.
soundtrack: girl from ipanima--astrid gilberto

so i'm moving into my new apartment tomorrow. i'm tired from packing and i'm not even packing all that much. maybe i'm just tired at the idea of tomorrow being a long and tiring day. that's all the blog i can muster....prolly won't be blogging a lot anyway just b/c of school and what not...hey, you never know maybe i will.
