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.

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.
