(no subject)
and now for my semi-monthly update...
as soon as i step foot back into ann arbor, i will have to step up my game about 10-fold. this first half of the semester went decently (sans biochem test), but there is A LOT to do before the end of april. i know that a lot of people are in my situation right now, so i'm gonna try not to complain about it too much. just kind of sucks that i'll be in a perpetual state of stress and anxiety. all in all though, i know what i have to do, and i have to push through it as much as i don't want to. anything to get that A in biochem and to beat my darling redhead on the MCATs. :-D
speaking of the redhead...
last i updated, i had alluded to some troubles in that realm. things are infintely much better than last updating, albeit with a little bit of "healing and rebuilding" along the way. i must say though, it really tested my tolerance and my ability to think rationally, but we definitely weathered the storm. i don't want to go into many details, but if you really must know, just ask.
i ended up going on spring break with jeff to toronto, hosteling, eating, and boozing it up. i must say, it was an interesting experience; nice place to visit, but there were just too many little things about canada that would prevent me from ever living there (i guess i'll be stuck living in massachusetts then). not a huge fan of the incessant taxes nor the lack of liquor stores. also, it didn't help that temps were down below freezing every day, so walking around town proved to be extra tedious. however, toronto is quite charming; the subway system proved useful and was clean and i especially loved the fact that there was a ma-and-pa filipino restaurant right next to the gay district. also, jeff proved to be quite a wonderful travel buddy. i dont' think i would've been able to take walking out in the cold for long periods of time with anyone else.
i'll put pictures up later, but i'm lazy.
i also got my hands on grey's anatomy season 1. i figure if i can't get into med school, at least i can watch people go through the motions. hehe.
time to eat.
