Apparently none of the descriptions in here are true anymore, except that sometimes I still worry about myself. In the past two years, I have tried to fly a kite.

Thanksgiving weekend

I didn't go home for Thanksgiving. It was the first Thanksgiving I haven't spent with my family, which was a little strange. Still, I had a really good time with my friends from school. There were a bunch of us who were around and everyone came over and chilled at our house. We had like, way more food than we could possibly ever eat. I made cornbread stuffing from scratch, this sweet potato thing, and mashed potatoes. People at them, and even seemed to enjoy them. I was super proud of myself.

Celeste and I went shopping yesterday. Highland Village was super crowded. We went into PF Cheng's for no other reason than to use their bathroom. It took us 20 minute to find a a parking spot at Jamba Juice. I was finally able to get a spot by the Container Store by doing this complicated reverse parking job. It was great. I felt worthy of my New York plates. The Galleria was a madhouse. They had special people directing parking. Our friend Wayne wasn't working at Dylan's Candy Bar, which was sad.

We're seeing the ballet tonight. My head hurts.

God, do I not want to study right now. Fuck me hard.

Tests are over!

Not having tests is great! I'm super relieved that they are over. I think I have accepted that I will not be going to histology class ever again. I wonder if this will be a problem.

One of the problems with telling people you have a blog is that you can't always write down everything you are thinking, because they might read it. Hmm.

Harry Potter movie opens tomorrow night. We're totally going to a midnight show. I am uber excited. Is it creepy that I think Harry and Ron are getting kind of hot? Is that like, child molester-ish? God, what is wrong with me?

the 24 hour gym

Its been a few days since my last update. What has changed? Hmm. I joined a gym, which has been super fun. 24 hour gyms are great. The other day I had a nervous breakdown at like, 11 at night because my computer stopped working the night before the histo test and I couldn't study and I didn't know what to do so I went to the gym and used the elliptical for awhile. It was actually pretty refreshing. I'm super excited about meeting with the personal trainer. I hope that it does something. My legs have been really sore all week, and it feels great.

Wow, this is a boring blog entry. I'm pretty much writing it so I don't have to study. I'm really sick of studying, although there's so much more that I need to know. I am really looking forward to having sleep return to my life. Freshman year and the days of sleeping until 3 pm are so far away, I can barely believe they happened. Now if I sleep past 9, I feel like a bum. Maybe I should study more so that I can get into a specialty where I won't have to be on call for 48 straight hours.

I just had a conversation about the most humane way to eat an animal cracker. Its super obvious that you need to bite the heads off first so that you know they're really dead.

I want to talk to Beth.

Med School Is Hard

Yeah, that about sums it up. Oh, and everything I own smells like formalin. Yes, this is my life.
