Pondersome Thoughts

1) Does this look like a turkey?

Zach thinks so

2) When it's cold & you breath out through your mouth you can see it. With that taken into consideration, would you see a fart if it was cold enough? Inappropriate? Maybe. Unnecessary? Probably. Curious? Definitely.

Biotech

How I feel about signal transduction at 6:30am. Good morning, EPTers.

EDIT: hahaha

Becoming Legal

I get that turning 21 in the US is usually a long awaited landmark (admittedly, I'm waiting for the day when I can walk into the store & booze up or just go out w/ my friends & pay less cover) but is it really necessary to start a countdown or plan what you're going to buy/wear out on your birthday when it's months away?

I guess I don't get what the big hype is about, yes people can finally go out to the bars/clubs without annoying X's & party away to their hearts' content w/ drinks in hand. But it seems like those who really care about being able to legally do all of these have already done lots of drinking before (w/ or w/o a fake ID), so I don't see how this revolutionizes the way they get down & jiggy wit it.

...'down & jiggy wit it'? I'm so lame. Hahah.

I think I need to start printing out my notes, I stare at a computer screen for at least five hours a day & now after about 15 minutes I start to look something like this:

though I'll also freely admit that I'm just tired of studying & would rather take an awkward picture of myself (narcissism at its finest?)

On the upside, spending the day at Panera has been a nice change of scenery. Outlining two biotech lectures are done, two left, another biotech lecture to relisten to, supplemental problems to do; pharm law outlining for every lecture to do & relistening to patho for pretty much all the lectures as well; review chest & ab exam stuff & start reading for compounding. Oh boy.

Das Racist concert was EPIC!!!!!

Not really, but I had fun ignoring the music & being a tard. (:

Antarctica up in hurr

I'm shocked to say for the first time ever, my house in the winter is warmer than ___.

In this case, that blank would be my apt. It's especially surprising because we're on a high floor & you'd think all the heat would rise & keep our place warm but you can thank old leaky windows that our landlord never fixed for the heat escaping. Then again, I guess it really isn't a surprise considering we can't control the heat in our apartment but the tenants who do turn it on at the most random times (when the radiators are the warmest at 2am but off in the evening = wut?).

I have an even greater appreciation for space heaters...& thermostats. Maybe?

My stomach's screaming yes, my bank account's screaming STOP

I really should learn how to make chicken shawarma wraps. Mmm Byblos.

In other news: I'm excited for the concert Thursday, more to hang out w/ Zach, Jordan, & Fletcher than the actual music, though I'm sure Combination Pizza Hut & Taco Bell will be a hit!

Have Faith in Me - A Day to Remember

I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of ADTR but for it's fitting for now

This is the happiest I've been in a while (:

Saying more than that will make me look like a huge ball of mush, which isn't my style, yo.

...

WHY am I forced to come to school a week earlier than undergrad & at 8am for this??

Happy New Year! (:

omgwtf classes start tomorrow. At least I had the best break to date, I pretty much did everything I wanted to so I feel pretty accomplished.

Quick highlights:

- meeting people & hanging out w/ people I haven't seen in a while

- spontaneous decisions (abandoned church party, going to Windsor)

- North Carolina vacation

- SLEEP

- watching mindless TV

- food

- finally getting my wisdom teeth out (not so much a good highlight so maybe a lowerlight? ehh?)

- piano/guitar playing

Thoughts about this past year (why not):

- I've matured in a few but important ways. I clearly still have a ways to go before I'm reaching where I think I need to be but I think that'll be in the near future

- Sanity vs. sleep = pharmacy school

- Wonderful World by Sam Cooke has taken on new significance

- No more soccer, I'm getting too old

- I juggled too many things at once, definitely need to work on keeping things simple

- It's definitely going to be very memorable as both of the best & worst moments of my life, as dramatic as that sounds

Some resolutions:

1) Eat healthier, I eat the worst food possible when I'm on my own.

2) Stop procrastinating so much

3) More running/swimming

4) Finish learning Canon in D

5) Read (assigned school stuff & things I'm actually interested in)

6) More 'me' time

7) Spend less money on food

8) Break my computer addiction

I think that those are attainable goals for the upcoming year. I hope everyone had an amazing New Years Eve (I ended up going to Funk Night & it was a lot more fun than the first time I went so I would love to go again)

EDIT: It's 8:06pm. I'm getting ready for bed, hahah I feel so old. Essentialy two all nighters in a row + 6am wake up tomorrow = 8:30 bedtime.
