disclaimer: this all could be b/c i'm starting my period soon but i don't care this is how i feel!!!
ugh seriously it's time to blog. i'm so frustrated and RRGHGG! right now. school is really taking it's toll...just the stress and the pressure and the tests and the lectures and it's just too much!! i'm not even hard core studying and i cant take it! even when i relax and hang out...i'm thinking in the back of my head...i need to study i need to study....GOARREAKL;ADFGAHGIO! i can't get a break. my dreams are of school or studying and i just wake up all tense. seriously people....no one knows what the hell doctors have to go through to get to where they are!!! and then when you become a doctor people don't like you because they think they don't care...and we DO care....that's why we're in the damn profession in the first place....but there's all this shit in between the doctor and patient that prevents us from giving good healthcare. anyway that's a tangent...i'm here to complain about med school life. your whole friggin life is taken over. you can't really go out...you go out and feel guilty b/c you should have studied...then you take the test and find out you would have done exactly the same had you studied that night you went out.....then after the test you can't even relax b/c there's MORE shit to learn and it just repeats itself over and over...week after week.
take my bf for instance....he had to write 2 cover letters for a job at the Univ of Redlands....that was a month ago...b/c of his procrastination one of the positions was filled and the other position is open but sux....luckily he found another position that i actually think would fit him well. so today he has a plan to finish the cover letter...and he did....it's half a page....half a page that i could have written in 30 minutes...and he was complaining b/c it's "HARD"?? wtf is HARD it's not fucking HARD.....write that you're interested in the position and why....why you would be good for the position and what you would bring to the organization....thats' IT!!! and it took him one month...ONE MONTH to get his ass in gear to friggin write a half a page of bullshit?????!!! I fuckin wish i had it that easy...but no my task is to learn all the structures in the lower limb...arteries, nerves, muscles, veins....fatty acid biosynthesis and degradation....cell injury, pathology....all the friggin bacteria that exist....and what drugs do AND how to do manipulation..........HARD!?!?! not that his work isn't hard b/c it is...he works a lot and he's great at it...but COME ON. at least you can friggin go home and just relax and go drink beers at your friends house.
yeah ok i have to eat now...then do some microbiology. hate school man.

i have a game for the chatterbox...i dunno if anyone even reads this anymore but here it goes. basically the point of the game is to give lyrics to a song...the next person has to give lyrics to a song that contains a word or phrase from the last song lyrics given. for example:
show me show me show me - The Cure
next person....
ME myself and i- Easy E
so capitalize the word/phrase you took from the last song. anyone is welcome to play :)

so i went to the LA county medical association(LACMA) welcome dinner for 1st year med students.....and so this is an email i wrote kyle telling him about my night:
so the drive there was ok...just some traffic but we weren't late. donnell, katie and shefali rode with me and that was fun...good conversation. we got kinda lost in LA but we found our way. we got there and signed in...it was a nice hotel. there were ucla and usc ppl there...and lethal weapon girl was there! i meant to say hi and introduce myself but by the time i had thought of it...i couldn't find her anymore. hehe donnell said he used to love her when he was younger. i think western had the biggest turnout. probably the only thing that sucked about tonight was that Western wasn't even acknowledged. when the presidents of LACMA chapters for each school went up there, the western one didn't go up....then when our MSI representative went to introduce someone he didn't say his name or where he was from...so nobody knew we were even there. so i was mad about that. OH and then the keynote speaker was makikng his speech and some emergency alarm went off...then some guy on the PA was saying that there was an emergency situation on the 11th and 12th floors and that they needed to evacuate...which was dumb b/c we were on the 2nd floor. so the dinner ended kind of early. but the COOL part was i got free gifts! i got a stedmans medical dictionary....i actually wasn't going to get one b/c they ran out...but i asked one of my classmates if he had one already like at home and if i could have his...and he gave it to me. woohoo. but that's not all!! i got a vacuumized sterling silver flask that holds cold and hot stuff. it's SO cool! i dunno when i'll use it but it's awesome. and also i told you about how my class/school is really cool, like we're a family and it makes me feel good. like all the other schools seemed distant to each other or something. i'm glad i went to western.
then we decided to go to westwood to diddy riese...b/c we didn't want to go to the bar with our classmates...and that was cool. westwood has a cool atmosphere. and we got some cookies.
it was a great night. :)
listening to my body saying it's time for bed because u've got an 8am class!

happy halloween + 1 day. i went to my school's halloween party and can i tell you....stick a bunch of med/health professions students who've been studying non-stop for 2 and a half months into a room, mix in some alcohol and some crazy costumes and you've got yourself a partay. it was a lot of fun. the red head's friends came...plus my friends so...i think we were like 20 deep. we went to my friend sheila's place to pre-party and i discovered a new drink. vanilla stoli and ginger ale!! so good and i go messed up! so then we went to a party at this gay bar but it wasn't a gay bar that night. i had a shot of surfer's on acid...and then danced and mingled. it was fun fun fun! just what i, and i think everyone there needed. it was a great night for the most part. and i'll just leave it at that.
