2008: It was One Eventful Year

So it's that time again. The obligatory end-of-year blog to reflect on all of the year's past events. It's been one heck of a ride, I must say. I don't even know where to start. Let's see.

Sometime in February: I got drunk with Justine and Welley at my apartment and I turned out to be a hot mess. They were playing with me the whole time while I was purring and crawling on the floor. I have pictures, but Lord knows they will not see the light of day. Thanks W and J.

April: I got the job at CVS/Pharmacy and my 21st birthday. We had a small gathering at Kristine (and Omar)'s apartment. It was a black and white affair, attempting to emulate the Upper East Side. Didn't work out so well. But Daniela from chorus came! So that was fun.

May: Finals and ending of school. Then I just worked like crazy. Also, Missy's birthday in NYC.  That was fun.

June: Experienced Pride w/ Welley for the first time in Boston. That was fun. Plans didn't go down as expected but still had a blast.

July: The family came up to visit and bring me goodies! We didn't really do much of anything, unfortunately. It was crazy hot and the weather was being temperamental (it was going to rain).

August: I was in Boston half of the month and in NJ the other half. First week went home to go on vacation to Wildwood with the cousins. Then went back for 2 weeks to work, then the last week before school started, we went to Virginia with the Grupicos. That was fun. Except I gained a whole lot of weight during August...

September: I arrived back in Boston ~30lbs heavier than I currently am. I could not fit into my jeans and my shirts were getting tighter. That's when the diet started. And other issues...

October - December: including September, it was all school, studying, chorus (but only half of the semester), and working every Saturday. There were birthdays, including Brigitte and Alejandro's that were fun outings. December, I worked until the 20th; then I came home on the 21st. 

And now I'm here. Right now, I feel depressed. I don't know. I'm drinking that Three Olives Cherry Vodka + Sprite right now because of that. I don't know what I'm doing tonight.

I haven't even seen any of my friends from home yet. And I'm supposed to be leaving Saturday. I'm such a bad friend. I'm just not feeling Jersey anymore.

And I feel like I'm just alone. And I don't want to bother anyone with my problems, because that's what I feel like I'm doing: is just bothering them with my problems that they don't want to hear about. I don't know. I'm lost.

Happy New Year 2009. I hope it's a good one for the rest of you.

Cheers.

Wow, it's been a while.

So it's been a while since I've posted a blog. Let's get up to speed.

I went home for Thanksgiving break and I got a MacBook. I love it. Came back to Boston, finished the last week of classes and then finals. Those really sucked. I did horrible on all of them. I did, however, pass all of my classes. I don't know if I'll get to keep my scholarship. We'll see I guess. :(

Anyway, that's all. It's almost 2009. I have a feeling that this is THE year. To find myself, to achieve my goals, to find someone. I have a feeling.

Alicia Key's "Prelude to a Kiss" pretty much sums up how I am feeling right now. In all aspects of life.

"Sometimes I feel like I don't belong anywhere

and it's gonna take so long for me to get somewhere

sometimes i feel so heavy hearted

but I can't explain 'cause I'm so guarded

but that's a lonely road to travel

and a heavy load to bear

and it's a long, long way to heaven

but I gotta get there

can you send an angel?

can you send me an angel to guide me?"

So that is how I'm feeling.

Off to bed.

I worked from 2-10 tonight.

Work again tomorrow, 2-8. Friday 4-10. Saturday 10-6.

Home on Sunday morning? I think so...

Violin, MacBook, clothes...

I feel empty. Getting a taste of what I want and then having it taken away just makes me feel worse.

This was yesterday studying at a plethora of places. This was in the morning at starbucks. mmm. So anyway I have my exam at 8 and I'm studying now. goodbye. What's left: journal club, then finals. Possibly getting a new macbook? my brother got the new macbook pro!

Things are going downhill

I don't know what's wrong. I guess I'm definitely not trying hard enough? I don't know. I did really bad on the last two exams. And I'm still waiting on the (also probably horrible) results for the last two tests that I've taken. I have an exam in Med Chem on Monday, journal club on Wed, and Biotech exam on Thurs.

I just need to keep my chin up... and start letting the notion of me repeating a year get into my head.

Mer.

I had off today. But class tomorrow. Meeting with my Journal Club group. Plus class. Journal club Wednesday. Working Saturday. Orchestra Thursday. Biotech exam Tues, Drug Lit midterm Wed, and Pcol exam Thurs. SWEET. I love my life.

I Know What I Need to Do

I have to become excited and hopeful. No more of this "down in the dumps" crap. I should want to learn about all of this stuff. I mean, that's why I'm in school correct? To become a pharmacist and learn everything that entails in the professions?

Can I Do It?

Can I prove to myself that I can do it? By doing everything on the path that has to get done? All the little things count... Can I pull myself out of this hole that I fell in?

Blah

CHRISTMAS ON THE BRAIN. ugh.

I wanna up and go to nyc for the day.

drunk

i love it when a drink is spilled on me

Hennes & Mauritz Trip

It was a freaking rainy day. Yet I made a little trip to Newbury. I finally got a "weekender" bag from H&M. It was a good price and I really like it. Here are some pics.

So anyway though, I have to study and clean my place, and work tomorrow from 8am-2pm. So I have to get up at like 6am tomorrow. Sweet.

The exam today sucked. Really sucked. I have another exam on Tuesday. I hate my school.

Chip on my Shoulder

So I guess my schedule is going to be 8-2 every Saturday. Fun times. At least the morning shift goes by quickly. And I don't have to do PCI... yet.

I have 2 exams next week and I really have to keep on the ball. I've been doing okay so far, but I'm doing stuff that should have been done a while back. We're going into our fourth week of school! Say what?!

Okay I'm going to go finish my Subway sandwich and listen to more lectures. I have a ton to get to.

So much for a social life.

Just Another Day

I had the chem exam today. That was alright I guess. I didn't get as high a score as I wanted, but it was alright I guess. It made me realize that I could have done so much better. And it's directly related to my studying. So it's really buckle down time. I have a Biotechnology exam Tuesday, a Drug Lit assignment due Wednesday, and a Pharmacology exam on Friday. And I'm working this Saturday 8am-2pm. That's ultra sweet, like chocolate.

Goodnight.

Gahh

I just took the Med Chem Exam. I already know I probably got a couple wrong. Mer. Stupid logical thinking. Oh well.

I'm supposed to go to tutoring now, but I've decided not to go. It's sort of a waste of my time. I have to do other things.

Okay well onto the long list of stuff to do.

P.S. I've decided to become nicer, meaning not making fun of others anymore, even though it is jokingly and we all know I'm kidding. And I'm trying not to curse anymore. It's bad for my health.

I'm Focusing Better

I need to remember and think about why I'm in pharmacy school. I need to succeed and do well. I do not want to disappoint my family. I want to be successful so I can help them. I cannot fail.

So I cannot worry about the little things. I have to focus better and be successful.

That is all. For my family.

P.S. Diet is going well, I suppose.

Studying

...is not going so well. Ugh. I really need to refocus or something. I have to just get down and do it! Note to self: buckle the eff down!!!

Med chem exam on Thursday. Two exams next week, and assignment due. Sweet. Work Saturday morning at 8. Even better. Hoorah.

I'm really going to go study. Bye.

Aw, didn't get to post one yesterday.

So we were supposed to go to the Back to School Party at Market, but we heard it sucked and it wasn't worth it going all the way out there. Plus we had 8am class this morning. So we just went to Friday's and called up Rose and had ourselves a good time. Yeah the pictures are dark. :(

Mer

Mer.

I'm tired.

My AAA batteries died. I'm going to have to go to CVS to get some. I want my discount.

Fourth year will be the death of me. Sweet.

Let's Get This in Before 12

So today was not as early a day as the rest of them are. I had tutoring this morning from 9:30-11. That was kind of wack. But whatever. Afterwards, I did my 11-12 workout. Yay.

Then I had to call RCN to change my internet plan. The promo ended, and I have to pay $53+ this month! Ugh. So I changed it to the 1.5MBPS speed from the 5MBPS. I don't think I'll see much of a difference. However, I also don't know when they're actually going to change it. "Shonda" said that I wouldn't have to do anything. She had a strong southern accent.

Anyway, had class til about 5ish. Came back here. I sort of accomplished very little. Then Missy called me. We sort of studied. Therapeutics just plains sucks. It's going to be hard. I have to get back on track.

I'm doing well with my diet and exercise I guess. I need to go buy some more fruit and whole wheat bread. And keep drinking water. I want this so bad this time. I have to focus on both school, work, and my health. The social life is on the back burner right now. Mer.

<3 Pharmacy school...

Wow

I can't believe people are actually crying over Tom Brady.

Anyway, my day was long. And I'm still going to study when I'm done with this entry. Ugh. So I got up to the sound of my coffee being brewed (loves it!) and I got ready and everything. It's pretty sweet. I went to class around 7:40am and of course all of the good seats are taken. It's ridiculous. So class went from 8-10am, and after I went back to my apt and exercised for a good 40 minutes. Took a shower, and then went to Wentworth's library with Brigitte for a good two hours. Then we hit up MCP's library til 4, went home, ate and studied til 6. Went to tutoring til 8, and got the last bit of chorus until 9:30. After Daniela came back with me to my place so she can get her stuff, went to drop her stuff off, and now here I am! Busy bee. Haha. And I'm mad hungry now, too. I might have to make that Velveeta Shells and Cheese...

lates.

Hooray for School

Let's see what I did today. I went to church this morning at Emmanuel with Justine. Then after we went to Bed, Bath, & Beyond and Staples. I got binders and those new Sharpie Pens. I think I've fallen instantly in love with them, lol.

I also got a Mr. Coffee coffeemaker!
Mmm! I bought Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla grounds. And I already made some, as you can see. Haha. It's a programmable one, so I can set it to brew in the morning. You know I have those 8am classes. And I yawn throughout the day. It's so bad. So coffee coffee!
















I also got this snack/side fold-up table. This will be helpful. I'll actually have a place to put things now when I'm in my room part. Hahaha.

So I should get back to homework and studying.

Til' tomorrow.

I am Fat

Today was super muggy. It was disgusting. Yucks.

I went to dunkin donuts cause I had a coupon so I used it, but I don't think the girl gave me the right thing. Whatever.

Then we went to Kaze Shabu Shabu. Soo good. Yummy.

However, it's getting hard to fit into some of my jeans, which hasn't happened ever since like high school... so yeah. I have to go on a diet. Drinking only water, eating fruits and veggies, etc. Ugh. And for some reason I've been extra tired this week. I don't know why. I've been taking my multi-vitamin everyday. I just don't know.

Diet for me.

My jeans have to be loose again.

Gotta love these 8am classes!

Not.

Ugh, biotechnology seems fun already. This is def gonna be a tough semester...

Back to School

Classes has started once again. I am a 4th year. Hardcore.

So Virginia was exceptionally fun! Visited Busch Gardens, Jamestown Settlement, The Virginia Air and Space Center, and went shopping! Fun stuff.

But now I already have to go read and organize my stuff before I won't have time to do anything! Hoorah.

ttyl... P.S. just got the Dr. Horrible soundtrack! loves. it.


OH btw. My camera is broken, I lost my iPod, and my new all-in-one printer, the scanner part of it, won't work with my computer because of software problems. Stupid computer.

Blah

So right now I'm totally watching the last episodes of Laguna Beach season one where everyone is leaving for college, haha. And doing laundry/deciding what to cook/eat.

Anyway, I just wanted to say, if there was anything I could change about me that I myself couldn't control, would be my right eye and my crooked teeth. Gah.

i made a boo boo at unos last week... those glasses are tall. at least she didnt charge me for it! i gave her a good tip.

Yellow Sticky Notes

this is amazing. i love the music most of all though.

It's Getting Closer

As each day passes, I can feel the days of classes coming closer (as you can see by my counter at the top of my blog). I can really feel the fall weather coming along. 

So last week I was in Wildwood, New Jersey with my sister, mom, dad, and my two cousins. My dad was only there for a couple of days, and my cousins did not come until the middle of the week.

All in all, it was fun. I freaking love the shore. I love the beach. I could just sit there on the sand all day (with that umbrella and sunblock, haha) and listen to the sounds of the waves, seagulls, and children laughing. I just love it.

Unfortunately, I did get somewhat burned. It was not bad though. I am, however, peeling on my upper arms and back. Yucky. But I am a golden color. Jealous? Haha.

Also, anyone watching the Olympics?! I heart swimming and gymnastics. I won't post any results, just in case you haven't seen it yet.

Hm. I still have to buy one more textbook. I should do that tomorrow morning. That's another $70. Sweet. I should get to bed.

And I'm really feeling my new song on here, "Please forgive me" by David Gray. It suits how I am feeling right now, in a sort of limbo, if you will.

So I'm trying to get on a track of healthy lifestyle and eating. Because I really believe I have the potential to become healthy. I just need to really discipline myself and do what I have to to achieve what I want to see in myself. I'll get there.

I can't believe I'm going to be a 4th year. Then again, everyone I graduated high school with will be graduating this year. 2009. I'm 2011. It'll be worth it in the end. I cannot wait.

Time is just flying by so fast.

Anyway, looks like I have ADHD right now with my typing. I haven't really blogged in a while.

PS. my camera (my sister's old one) died on me when we were at the shore! Ugh. I don't know what to do. I'm going to have to break out my 1.3Mb Olympus from 2001. Sweet son.

Drink lots of water, start taking the stairs all the time again, do my work workbook, start reviewing my biochemistry, finish reading that book before summer is over, laundry, organize, clean clean clean. The list goes on.

Goodnight.

And if you haven't seen something called Dr. Horrible yet, google. Or just go to http://hulu.com/drhorrible and you'll be redirected to watch the whole show.

Something New

Look! They installed an intercom system in my apt! Haha i have yet to try it out yet though.

Im at work waiting til 4pm to sign in. Cant sign in early. ugh.

But ps. i officially hate my school. They dont care about their students, they just want your money. Thats all. Stupid school.

Ill go into detail later, maybe.

More Dreams

This week's theme in dreams seems to be animals trying to bite and kill me.

This morning some little dog that really looked like a koala bit my leg and made me bleed. What a bitch! Haha.

Island, Golf, Weird Animals

So I sort of remember what I dreamt that I was living in a house, where right outside was river, but moat like, because in the center was a big island that was a golf course.

So the setting was nighttime, and the only person I knew was my mother.

My mother and I are sitting in the living room watching TV, and I get bored. I get up to go to the front door, open it, and look out and see many lights. I see this man and woman hitting the golf balls and making pretty good shots. So I grab my golf club from the pile of clubs leaning against the house and set down my golf ball. I attempt to hit the ball but miss and get discouraged and start to go back inside. When I get back into the living room, the news is on. Apparently a Ghea Rizo is interrupting Hale's island golf. It's like a huge ferret/possum/guinea pig/rat. It's probably the size of a small 12 year old. Haha. So it's breaking news and you can see this thing hitting all the golf balls and moving them out of place. I go outside and guess what's right there? This monster thing. So I try to do this weird jump where I'm leaning against a pole and somehow stay in midair. However, the Ghea Rizo can jump, too, and is trying to bite me.

That's when I woke up, and realize that I've only slept for about 2 hours. Haha. Sweet.

Dreams

You know, ever since school has ended back at the beginning of May, I've been having dreams every night. Most of the time I don't remember. But the ones I do are very interesting and weird. Some are good, others are scary. Two of them people were trying to kill me. Scary right?

I was thinking that maybe as soon as I get up I should write them down. Hmm. But I'm too lazy. Haha. Who knows. I was thinking maybe I'll vlog about them too. Have special "Dream Vlogs." That would be interesting, no?

Anywho, I just got home from work. The lovely CVS. Oh those patients and doctors. And condor codes.

The family is coming up this weekend. Yay I'm excited.

And Wednesday I'm going to go see Walking With Dinosaurs: The Live Experience! I'm super excited about that.

AHH.

I don't want to become diabetic and start taking pills. I haven't gotten my blood or blood pressure checked in a while, and I believe that I'm already pre-hypertensive/pre-diabetic. I don't want to start taking pills.

I don't take pills.

true friend (miley cyrus) (violin cover)

Boston Duck Tour! Haha.

I'm chillinng in the ramp area b/c I'm at work way too early.

So the past two days sucked but it didn't suck til my attitude changed.

But now I've gotta be optimistic again. It's not that bad. I love it. Love your job! You don't have to love the people you work with. Bahahaha. Period.

And that's that.

Work is ugh. But the paycheck makes it all better I guess.

Pride '08

So I haven't blogged in forever. Sorry.

Here's a pic from Fritz's Block Party.

We were also supposed to go to the Roxy but it was full up by the time we got there. So we went to Club Café instead.

And after we ate pizzetas at Joseph's. And on the way back home I rolled my ankle on uneven sidewalk. Stupid sidewalk.

It's an Old Subject...

This really is the last straw. I'm sitting here at 3:30am looking at before and after weight loss pictures of people scattered over the internet.

I don't want to be fat anymore. I don't want diabetes. I don't want to have health problems. I don't want to be taking a ton of meds like the people who come to my pharmacy. I want to be healthy.

My entire family has problems with weight. That's including the cousins. And it's only my Dad's side of the family. Ugh. I want to be the first Solomon that gets healthy and thin and stays thin for life. A lifestyle change is what I'm going for. The correct exercise and diet.

Alright. It's way past my bedtime. I'm going running when I wake up.

I can see a beautiful day.

So I'm on the bus right now headin to the city for my friends birthday! Fun in Manhattan. Loves it.

Except I'm on the scary Lucky star chinatown bus. and some indian guy has major BO. ughgggh blech. i dont understand why people cant take showers

Success!

I made it to Eliot station unharmed and not lost! Yesss.

So now I know where to go when I go back home. And for Monday's commute. Took me exactly an hour to get here, plus the time =t takes to walk to actual work. It's hot. I'll go take a walk and explore because it is way too early for me to go in.

I was looking cute yesterday! haha.

I also put my brown old navy blazer on. It was chilly.

So again I'm on my way to work. I'm still not comfortable with all the stuff. I certainly haven't done everything yet. And I'm afraid my preceptor-to-be doesn't like me because I'm not learning fast enough. I only started answering phones on Monday. But I certainly don't know everything associated with a phone call yet. All I know is that you can't let it ring more than twice or something. You have to answer and then put them on hold. I don't know. I just hope everything is better today. And that the pharmacists don't think I'm really stupid. Because that's certainly how I feel when I'm not doing the things I don't know how to do yet.

P.S. I can never gauge the weather. It's hot today but I'm wearing my fleece. I dressed casual today. my AE shirt w/ the skinny tie and my black Skechers. 12-8. Let's have fun.

Hmm I should take a later train.

But I like to be early. If only there was a place I could just chill for like 20 minutes instead of on the steps to the T. Hah. Yuck. That's not weird huh. The sun is nice though. And I get to watch the cars go by. Hahaha.

Look! I'm a sphinx!

So I'm on my way to work and yesterday just seemed so awkward because I was asking a lot of questions. I feel tonight will be the same. However I'm turning over a new leaf and I'm going to be more open, and hopefully seem less scared and shy. Because I'm really not. So hopefully tonight will be better and get to know my co-workers better as well. I mean they don't really know anything about me. So why not let loose?

Finally.

An Apple store in Boston.

It's so beautiful.

Not the best picture of me but whatever.

So I'm back to Boston already. And I'm also not gonna be going back until August for our week long vaca house in Wildwood that my Ate got.

Now it's time to lose weight, work and make the moolah, and try to study some things. You know, exercise my brain so I don't become more stupid than I already am.

But yes. My goal is to Sh! become healthy and lose this extra weight that is so toxic to my body.

Alright maybe ill post another during my multi hour journey but trying to write this and trying to AIM at the same time is not working out.

Peace peace.

I'm home. But leaving the day after tomorrow.

I arrived yesterday (Saturday) around 3:15pm. And I'm already leaving the day after tomorrow. Tuesday morning. Yay.

But the time I've been home already has given me time to think about things. Like how I really am determined on reaching my goal this summer. As well as being independent for the summer, and working at my newfound job. Also, since I'm 21, I can now do more things in terms of going out. Although that requires money, huh... I need to save up everything I make this summer. Rent is calling my name.

Le sigh. I'll write more when I get back home to Boston.

I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow. Maybe visit RV? Who knows. Maybe I'll get my haircut. But that requires more money. I really do hate money.

Goodnight. Time to watch Superbad for the first time. (maybe. either watch or sleep. I'll decide in the next couple minutes...)

I'll fix the formatting and such when i get home.

So did you like my previous post? It was more of a picture book rather a blog post. But I hope that whoever looked at it enjoyed it.

Well now I have more pictures for you. Until I can fix it, it'll be just in order without my text in between. And the stupid Verizon stuff @ the end will probably appear.

So the first picture I just took, because I'm on my way home, and Mr. Justin is accompanying me on my iPod.

The second are my grades for this semester. Yeah they suck, but oh well. That C+ is my physio/patho grade. I hate the professor who teaches it. But I got an A- in Biochem!

And this last picture is of my own made caldereta! It tasted good. I thought I completely botched it early during the cooking process, but I didn't. :)

Will elaborate more when I get home!

Finals have begun. Oh Lord.

I have 5 finals. One on each day of the week. Two of them at 8am! Gross. Anyway I can't wait until they are over.

Back to studying.

I HATE THE RAIN. And I'm so dumb. I wore my new brown leather shoes and nothing flagged me when I hit the front door of my apartment building and I saw it was raining. Of course, I did have my umbrella. But I didn't think anything of the shoes. I should just worn my sneakers and brought my shoes in my bookbag. Or just worn something completely different so I would've worn my black shoes. I know for a fact that those can stand water. Ugh.

I really do hate the rain.

I feel weird. Like I don't have a place right now. And it feels like I can't relate or talk to anyone on a level I'm seeking. I don't think I've ever opened up to anyone fully. Everyone just gets snippets here and there. i'm longing for that connection. I guess that's a reason why I want to have someone. He could be someone I could tell my deepest and darkest secrets that Ilve never told anyone. Life is hard.

Somethng in me has also clicked. I've decided I don't want to be fat anymore. It's going to take work, but I need to do this for myself and my health. I need to prove to myself that I'm able to face a challenge and complete it succesfully. I also don't want Type II diabetes.

So from now on, I'm keeping myself on the downlow. I'm not going to speak my mind as much because all it gets is ridicule and I'm dead tired of it. We'll see how everyone likes this me.

my heart is damaged. i thought that i should let you know, that my heart is damaged, so damaged. you can be my wonderful. so how're you gonna fix it?

do, do you got a first aid kit handy? do, do you know how to patch up a wound? tell me, are you patient, understanding, cause i might need some time to clear the hole in my heart tonight.

-danity kane. get their new cd.

and im studying for my patho test while drinking this huge d&d iced raspberry coffee. its good.

its so nice out! i love the sun. it makes me happy ;)

Do you love it?

Do you love it? Ámélie loves it.

"what do you say we leave for California?
if we drive all night, we could make it by the morning
and no one has to know if we decide to go
oh, what do you say we leave for California?"

So Heather and her boyfriend Mike are here in Boston for the weekend. We ate at Kashmir. It was my first time. Damn good food let me tell you. Mmm.

Anyway, I still haven't gotten my glasses yet, which I'm kind of sad about. Oh well.

I'm just nervous about my IPEP presentation on Wednesday morning... at 8am. I have to wake up. I might have to sleep over someone's so I don't risk it. Ugh. I hate this sleeping problem! Blah.

Goodnight.

My Spring Break

Monday and Tuesday I had a lot of appointments and errands to attend to, so that is basically what I did for those two days. I had to go to the dentist twice, have a follow up to the eye doctor who performed surgery on me, and go visit my regular eye doctor for a checkup. I ended up getting new glasses.
Do you like them? I hope the ones I got fit. Since my head is so big, I had to get one two sizes up from the sample ones I tried on. And I hope they don't look too weird with my thicker lenses...

Anyway, onto Wednesday. So I went to NYC for the day with my Ate and Ate Malou. Boy, was it an eventful day. We got up at 8am and got ready and left. We took the PATH train to 42nd and got in line for TKTS, but since we wanted an 8pm show, we came back later since it was still early. So we went to go eat at Maxi's. Really good food. Even though it's expensive, you definitely get what you pay for. The portions are big. Wowza. So after we ate, we went back in line for TKTS and it was ordered until they let us loose in the booth area. It was like every man for himself. We ended up getting tickets for Mary Poppins, which by the way, was REALLY GOOD! I loved it! supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! 

Haha. So we got those tickets 50% off, which was a good deal, and we had some great seats even though they were on the side. After we got the tickets, we had coffee and dessert at Junior's, which you can see in one of my previous posts (just scroll down). It was soo good. I didn't get to finish it because I felt like I was going to explode! I loved it.

Then we traveled to Macy's, where by chance, we got to meet Eli Manning! It was exciting. 

However, all we did was shake his hand, say a few words. We weren't allowed to take any pictures with him. They just gave us a "presigned photograph" of him. The photos were obviously mass produced, but oh well. It was pretty cool. He was doing some promotion thing with Citizen Watch and it's Eco-Drive.

Afterwards we had some time, so we headed to a couple of stores near the New Amsterdam Theater, where Mary Poppins was showing. I finally got a skinny black tie from H&M. I wanted other things, but I really wish I was skinny so I could wear all the things I wanted. I also got some pretty nice sneakers from Skechers. **Sorry I just tried to find the picture off the website but couldn't find it, and I'm too lazy to snap a photo myself of the actual show. Maybe I will later. But yeah they're really cool. It's black, white and red. So I got those.

Then we went to see the show and after just took the PATH back to Pavonia and drove back to Ate Malou's house. A long, but adventurous and eventful day.

And today, we went to go visit my parents at Atlantic City at Showboat. My sister and I walked the boardwalk some, and then hit up the outlet stores. I got my two for $5 Old Navy flipflops, colors gray and brown. I also got some nice $15 jeans at Aeropastale. My other jeans are starting to get a hole on the inside of my right thigh :( Oh well.

And now here I am, doing my laundry, because tomorrow I'm going to have to do some work. I have to hit up the group project work I have on OxyContin, as well as process my FAFSA because my dad told me not to do it yet because he needs to finish doing some figures. Ugh.

Anyway, break is almost over and I can't believe it. It definitely does not feel like I had a break though. I wish we had another week. But alas, I have to go back to school and hit up them books. Grrrrreeeat.

The betch dentist screwed burned my lip. Hoboken.

Oh well. I'll blog about my adventures in NYC soon.

Dentist

I love getting numb for the dentist. It's kinky. Baha SIKE.

Ugh.

A Sleepover

Due to my narcolepsy, here I am sleeping over Brigitte's place at 4:30am, getting up at 8am. Sweet. Exam at 12:15pm.

This has been the worst week ever.

Le Sigh. I love the sun.

So between now and spring break I have 7 exams. Fun!

Tuesday: Pharmaceutics Exam #2
Wednesday: IPM lab/patient counseling
Friday: Epidemiology Midterm
Monday: Pharmaceutics Lab Quiz
Wednesday: IPEP Midterm, Biochemistry Exam #2
Friday: Patho/Physio Exam #3

And I'm still going to ChoruS, Phonathon, and Orchestra this week. Next week I'm not doing Phonathon, but still going to Chorus and Orchestra.

Loves the schedule?

I wish the sun would shine like this whenever I wanted it to.

I like it when the sun shines on me. The warmth gives me the feeling of being in a safe place. It also feels like there's hope and it's telling me to not give up.

Go listen to Clair de Lune, by Debussy. It's wonderful and romantic.

Guess Who's a Sucky Barista?

Ugh. I would've gone back and said "You long-haired hippy boy, this is not what I ordered." But I'm nice and just dealt with it.

What I wanted was a Venti Vanilla Creme. And I did accentuate the "C" in Creme. Oh well. He got Brigitte's order wrong too, but even worse. She wanted what I wanted but a Grande. Except she got a Grande Vanilla Latte. Um, creme and latte? The long-haired barista boy sucks. Whatever.

FAT.
