(no subject)
i find myself at the media union tonight. originally this was a way to force myself to actually do work while in front of a computer. somehow, i felt that if i was dicking around on livejournal or facebook here, i'd feel bad that i was taking up computers from other more worthy enginerds. however, everyone around me seems to be playing online card games or reading chinese news. hence why i am typing out this entry instead of poring over my MCAT stuff.
the semester has definitely kicked into full swing now. i definitely find myself perpetually tired all the time, and i think the only saving grace that i have is seeing jeffy in some way shape of form each day (heh, come to think of it, the last time that i DIDN'T see him was last tuesday. wow.) schoolwork is starting to pile up, but it seems like i am on top of my game right now; i smoked my first biochem quiz and my polsci response paper was a walk in the park. unfortunately, i haven't gotten as much MCAT studying done as i have wanted, though it seems that people who are taking actual classroom courses are around the same subject material as i am right now.
i also started volunteering at the veterans' hospital up on north campus. i'll be playing piano/singing to the vets and then i help out with the nightly bingo games that happen after dinner. luckily this isn't a huge committment, only twice/three times a month. however, i'm really happy to be playing piano again, not to mention that i'm getting some hospital volunteer work done. the vets seem like some pretty cool people, and i'm really looking forward to interacting with them. although, i find myself at a loss as to what to play. readers, if you could recommend me things to play for the vets, taht would be awesome.
also, i found another reason why i want to end up in oregon when i'm older: 94/7 FM, a:pdx. it always makes me happy to find great alt-rock stations around (as passe as the label has become.) anyone who plays remixes of early 90's depeche mode during (what would have been) rushhour definitely makes a listener out of me.
blargh... it amazes me at how little i have to talk about at a given time. this is precisely why i've updated no more than 2-3 times a month now.
