After toting around my Genetics textbook everywhere for the last week, I’ve finally really started reading and studying. It’s going terribly slow as the material is dense and not very interesting to me. I’m trying to push all those negative “why do I need to know this” type questions out of my mind because it [...]

It’s been a long day and I ended up distracting myself on the internet for most of the very little naptime I could afford.
I hate it when I have to get up early and I go to bed thinking I have to fall asleep right away to get the maximum amount of sleep possible, and [...]

A new schoolyear has begun. I don’t know if it’s just been a while or maybe it’s just the contrast to the relative stillness of summer, but everything seems so lively and exciting. The freshmen energy is rubbing off on my dusty 3rd-year heart. It helps that I actually like my RA and floor, which [...]

I need to seriously reassess my life.
Career/Academics
Besides fleeting desires to be an artist/zookeeper when I was about 4 years old, I’ve pretty much wanted to be a doctor. It never really occurred to me that I couldn’t do it or maybe that I wasn’t fit for this role. The only thing I could foresee stopping [...]

I was going to blog about happiness since that’s what we’ve been discussing in Psych 10, but I’m not in the mood seeing as I just found out I failed my last midterm. Insert failure rant.
I also fell asleep during the psychology research experiment I was participating in. Hope I didn’t ruin the researcher’s results.
At [...]
Not even the sword of Hell can stop me. or something like that.

Power-walked my way to the lab this morning (arriving merely 7 minutes late), only to find out that my research supervisor had sent me an e-mail telling me that she had some things to take care of and wouldn’t be able to meet today. Ironically, the only reason I didn’t check my e-mail this morning [...]

Got to work (on time!) this morning, pulled up the shades to signify the lab’s opening, entire window shade promptly fell off the sill. Owned.
One of the residents walked in and their cell phone started ringing. And instant internal scream erupted. This guy had the same polyphonic, shrill, all-around horrible ringtone that my old roommate [...]

I’m sitting here in the office with no idea what to do. I came in (late) this morning with every intention of sticky-labeling about 2000 postcards but after I did about 90, the guy in charge of mailing them out comes in a tells me that he got a quote for someone else to label [...]

Oh god. I’m going to get fired. I’m sitting at my desk right now trying to keep my friendly computer proctor face on and not my Oh-My-God-They’re-Going-To-Fire-Me face. Fuck.
Once again, I “set” my alarm, but I didn’t save it, so I woke up an hour and a half after I should’ve been at work already. [...]

It’s Monday morning which means that I’m at my Radiology internship. I’m here, but nobody else is, namely my supervisor. I don’t know why I’m dragging my ass up here in the morning if she’s not going to be here either. I’m going to retaliate by wasting time on blogs. I wonder what the protocol [...]
