I suppose I should give an update on my life...
Love my loft. :) My roommate pays 1100$ a month in mortgage payments not including water and utilities. I pay 400 for my room. :) I really do love my room. We have bamboo floors that are really soft and I have 3 separate light switches plus a lamp so tons of lighting. I bought my own mattress and it's really soft and we decorated the room so that it's pink, yellow, and white with espresso brown woodwork. :) It's cute. Haley gave me white wicker furniture that she had at home so I didn't have to buy that.
Pretty much, I only bought a desk and decorations (which we bought most of at a thrift store and fixed up). I'll post pictures tomorrow and show what crazy things we did! My mom made me two cable knit pillows (yellow and pink) out of sweaters and a third out of cute pink and yellow flowered pillow case!
Our living room has 2 leather couches and a leather chair. An extremely plush carpet that demands bare feet. And a 50-52 inch flat screen tv. :) (which I haven't figured out how to work yet, lol).
Kitchen has all new appliances and tons of storage space. I baked cookies today! Haley made carrot souffle and green bean casserole. She is going to make jambalaya tomorrow. I often get her left overs. :) She likes my cookies at least!
We're both pretty quiet but we talk sometimes and it's totally normal. She's extremely smart and plays the violins, oboe, and piano. We probably wear the same size also but most of her shirts are black or dark colors. Plus I always feel really chub because I have problems. :(
I'm taking: Physics with lab (the bane of my existence this year), Chemistry with lab (which seems fairly easy), Research Methods&Statistics (which is the knockout class for psych majors even though I'm a neuro major), and Colonial Latin American History (I'm planning on volunteering in either Central or South America next summer so it's perfect!)
I am volunteering at the Hope and Healing Center (no pay! :( even though they would pay me if I wanted), the Med (Caroline is really serious about going this yr), and maybe the Church Health Center in the Dispensary at the Clinic! I haven't decided if I'm going to volunteer at St. Jude yet though.
Despite never taking physics before and having to teach myself calc-- I've been picking up on it quite quickly. I'm glad I'm a fairly smart cookie. :) (we'll see if it lasts!)
I'm happy I'm a science major.
Genna really wants to hang out with me but I've been lazy and keeping to myself since I'm adapting to school still. I've gone to the Med w/ Caroline twice (will extrapolate in following post) and met w/ her to work on Physics twice. Super fun! (not the physics, but the hanging w/ her part). She came over tonight and we just hung out doing homework of classes we're not even in together and snacking on green beans. We both have our sights set on Med school and are kind of working together to get there! It surprises me that her and Genna like me so much (esp since they're juniors!).
I also have physics w/ two of my good asian friends (one of whom helps me w/ physics and is great at it ((of course))). I made her cookies for helping me. :)
I like wearing slippers to class.
Commuting to class is sometimes annoying. Esp when it rains in the morning.
I need to get back in good running shape again.
Simple thoughts are all I need sometimes.
But other times, I wake up some mornings so sure of who I am and my intellect and my ability to overcome anything I want to...
... and my hopes for attending med school overwhelm me so much that I don't even like to think about it because Laura Atkinson, who is one of the poorest people at Rhodes and didn't start caring about grades until junior year and is supposed to suck at math because she had NEVER had proper teaching, cannot make it into med school...
...and that scares me because I don't want to be rejected again..
...especially after I've tried so hard at everything and do SO much...
...and I probably will be rejected and what's worse than that?
...a poor white girl being picked by a med school is as likely as a 5 yr old mutt at a shelter w/ a bladder problem being adopted...
...Some mornings I just miss high school and my friends and Alex and going to Schnucks and cross country practice at Forest park and going into the History museum to get water while guards look at us like we're crazy and actually being in the same city as my boyfriend...
.. So I work really hard and eat lots of cookies to distract myself... :)
..What's a better coping method than that?
