I’m still trying to decide between IM and Surgery I’m leaning towards surgery, but the lifestyle is pretty terrible. But, I finally got to suture today

Clinic for the rest of the week, so it should be smooth sailing….

I’ll definitely blog more, I just need to find someone to make me a new blog layout, seeing as this one is really really old

Despite life being stressful though, I managed to finish my applications for the Regional clinical clerkships. I hope to get into one of them so I can go back into the city (yay!).

Here’s to hoping the rest of 2011 won’t be a year filled with bad luck…

Someone gave me an idea to burn music from the 1990s so…
I narrowed the time period to 1997 – 2002…and created a list of 36 songs.

Now it’s on repeat…

I rediscovered artists like Dream (He loves you not), S Club 7 (Never had a dream come true), Kylie Minogue’s old music (Can’t get you out of my head, Love at first sight)…

I feel like such a loser writing all this but hey, they made good music!

It’s actually kind of sad that people born in this generation (year 2000 +) missed them

1. I lost touch with a middle school friend for four years before I contacted him.

2. I lost touch with almost all of my high school friends. Except 2. One is fighting clinical depression, and the other is starting work soon.

3. I lost touch with my close college friends after they decided to transfer from the program I’m in, to another school.

I think I have communication issues.
I hate writing sad blogs so I never actually write them unless I need to vent.

Lately, my parents sent me on some errands where the closest location to buy the items are on 14th St. And then I went shopping with my sister near there. Then I went to Barnes and Noble there. And every time I walk by Whole Foods Market and Barnes and Noble I just remember the endless hours I spent there chatting and talking about everything important and unimportant. And I wonder why I’m been going there so often? I rarely, if ever, go to 14th St. anymore because it’s out of the way. So why now?

Suddenly, the friend that I always used to go to these places contacted me yesterday.

Something clicked in my head.

So how does this tie into the entry at all?

I think this is my opportunity to fix my communication issues. So of course, no sad post, it’s merely a happy one, disguised as a emo one.

My grammar sucks.

Ouch.

YAY.

I really don’t consider them yearly resolutions since they’re more like long term goals.

1. Maintain honors status.
2. Feed myself better at the dorms – salads and cucumbers just don’t cut it as a meal.
3. Enhance photoshop skills.
4. Collect more green and panda stuff.

I ring in the new year with a cold, cramps from day 1-2 menstruation cycle, and a headache.

It’s going to be a __________ year.

So what have I achieved in the last 3 months of my existence? I finally got honors in the Musculoskeletal system.  I remember when I started I began with a 74….now I’m always averaging mid-high 80s.  The only downside is…that I’ve lost virtually all contact with my friends.  I haven’t talked to Alex in ages and feel kind of empty not having him around to rant to.  Of course there are others that listen to me rant….but it never feels quite the same.

One thing I do appreciate is how he’s always so welcoming to me even though I skip weeks at a time without talking to him.  Now I just have to haul him from Australia so we can actually hang out and chill for once (grr at his employer).

Sam and I were having one of our typical conversations.  Conversation came up about me of course.

I call this the smart vs. hard-working talk (as such, Sam and I have virtually a title for every BIG talk).

People always seem to me as smart. Really, I never wanted that label.  When I go home, everyone says I’m stupid or lazy and I’m pretty damn content with that.  I have no problem admitting that my other siblings are by far much more intelligent that I am.  And I don’t complain about it all because it’s just a simple fact of life that I’ve already accepted.

But if you had to choose, would you rather be smart or hard working?

For me, I’d rather be hard-working.  Why?  Simply because being hard-working would probably allow me to go further in life and achieve what I really want.  Being smart can help but without the diligence to keep on studying, I feel that you can’t accomplish much.

Random blurb/blog.

A hole in my brain if you will.

I’m getting a bit burnt out from all this studying.  But!  Because if anything, life doesn’t slow down for me…so I have to work extra hard to catch up to it.
