so what's new?

okie, so the midterm is over and done with, i think i did ok? i don't know.. i can never tell after i'm done with a test, but now that it's OVER i can focus on getting ready for chicago! yay!! but as you can clearly see, i'm not focused at all, i'm procrastinating. (yet again)

actually, i wanted to post this. i saw ok go in concert a couple of months ago, and we were contemplating leaving early, but we're glad we didn't though cuz the dance encore definitely made the whole night worth it.

leaving on a jet plane

leaving tomorrow for chicago at 6 IN THE MORNING. so that equates to me being at the bart station at 4 IN THE MORNING in order to get to the airport. and of course, i'm not packed yet. i'm actually cramming for a midterm right now which is in 3 hours, but studying in front of the computer is a really bad study habit, and i'm getting distracted. (obviously)

one thing which i'm really stoked about is that i'm meeting with my old, old penpal while i'm in chicago. i met her when i was ten (?) on a cruise in the bahamas. that's 14 years ago! somehow we kept in touch.. mostly cuz of her since i'm horrible with correspondence, though. ai, i can't wait to go.. it's been a while since i've been out (arizona~) and i feel like i need a change of environment again, cuz i'm starting to feel restless again.

fourth of july, friends, food and fireworks.. not much more i can ask for. =D

p.s.

forgot to mention. i did well last quarter! despite all that slacking i pull through okay.. i did get an 'a-' in my patho class, which i know could've been an 'a' if i had put the work in, but i guess it'd be silly to b*tch about the '-', huh?

i'm not alone!

so i'm slowly discovering that i'm not the only one out there who has no idea what the he** to do with their life. since i've been going to my microbio class, i've met a diverse range of students - the lady i usually sit next to is middle-aged, and she wants to persue a degree in nursing, her THIRD degree. another girl i just met today is premed, AFTER having already gotten a bs in cs and and a jd. actually, most everyone in my class already has a degree from somewhere already which is completely different from the course of study they're taking right now.

this is kind of a relief to me, because all this time, i've kind of felt that i had done something wrong or made a mistake when i had gotten my first bachelor's. just by knowing that there's a whole lot of other people out there who are going through the same situation, i don't feel so bad anymore.

which is good.

annoyed

i'm cleaning my room right now (!!) and after doing all the laundry that was lying on the floor, i'm finding that i'm missing socks. THAT BUGS! for some reason, i can handle huge, unsightly messes where i can't see the floor, but i cannot STAND missing pairs of socks.

ai. now watch me turn my room upside down looking for spare socks...

OVEEEEEEEEEEEER!!

final's week is final over! i honestly came outta my last final with the biggest "oh sh*t" feeling. the grades were posted last night, and guess what i got?? 65%........................... which in the world of medical physiology is a b+. yup.. so i guess i wasn't the only one with that feeling after the final. hopefully i pulled an a- in the class, i did well in the two midterms so i'm keeping my fingers crossed.

now i've got two days worth of bonafide summer vac until classes start up in oakland on monday. TWO DAYS! dood, i'm stoked. [/sarcasm]

until then, i gotta clean my room.. i can't see the carpet anymore and my mother loves just walking by my room (even though it's out of her way!) and looking in so she can bug me about it.

aish-ya

trying to focus on these take home finals right now. emphasis on "take home". two of my three finals this quarter are take homes, and needless to say, this quarter's been a cakewalk. still it's hard for me to focus, my thoughts are flying all over the place and writing short answers and essays on a computer with an internet connection is not very conducive for productivity.

eep. enough procrastinating - gonna work on it now!
