Hmmm, I miss you already Biomed
Well, well, well. I always knew this day would come, but for some reason I'm still not ready for it. I did it. Today, at 8:38 am, I filled in my last bubble for my last exam at UCLA. Schools out forever at this point! Yikesa. Well, at least until grad school, that is. I'm sitting on desk at work right now, looking around, thinking of all the crap I have done in this library. Whether it was getting my ass kicked in every rubber-band war we ever had downstairs, or spinning in the chairs on desk, or yelling at the idiots in the grad room, it was a great ride. Biomed is just a job right? Wrong. I made some of my best friends here, and it was always my safe and secure place to go. There was always a little smiling face or a joke waiting for me when I clocked in, and even when I thought the world was coming to an end in my second year, my Biomeders made me realize otherwise.
I guess what I'm getting at is that even though UCLA is over, what I learned sure as hell isn't. I learned that the most unsuspecting people will make your life so much richer than you ever imagined possible. Simple gestures, like helping someone finish thier shelving, even though you did a ton by yourself already, reallllly makes someone's day. Persian dental students, except Hamid and the other nice one, are shitheads. The crazies never know what time it is, and I suspect they never will! Being respectful to disrespectful people gets you nowhere, so it's better just to call them on thier crap, but the nice people are angels if you treat them right. Biomed taught me that working can be fun, as long as you approach it with the right attitude. So this is the shout-out portion of this evenings discussion...Biomed rocks my socks because: Judith-Scrapbooking, lovers, wedding plans, GIRL TALK! I did the mail with her every morning for 2 years, so we talked about everything possible, and I am gunna miss that shrimp like a fat kid misses cake. Juan: ALWAYS made me smile, even when I didnt want to. Whether he knew it or not, he was my rock through a pretty hard time for me, and I'll always love him for that. David: My favorite artist. I'll never forget our drawing competitions, or our tic-tac-toes games with ARIEL and FAX stamps all over his desk, crosswords, and his constant poking. :-) David is bomb. Alicia: Oh my oh my, I was scared of her for a long while. However, she is one of the sweetest people I know with the most adorable baby! I will miss her mumbled jokes. :-P Joseph: So, how do you describe the person who single-handedly took you under thier wing on the first day of the job and never let you go? I would say...AMAZING. There is so much love in that man, it's crazy! I'm going to miss him SO much! Ayumi: Mama! Yep, thats right, I'm gunna miss my little Mama-to-be. She was always perky and wonderful, and a joy to work with. Ok, on to my fellow Students. Kiki: Kirsten is my secret lover, but please dont tell Feddi. While incredibly sweet and polite most of the time, I love her most when she's pissed off about something and exploding! This girl doesnt have a mean bone in her body, and hopefully she rubbed off on me this year. She will be my family's physician someday. :-) Rena: My roomate, my love, my girl. We've been co-ho's for 3 years now, and we still know how to make people go, "What????" I love you Lauren!!! Lucy-Goosey: Although we didnt get very close til this year, this girl is freakin awesome. I have had more "personal" conversations with this girl than anyone at biomed I think! We just click lol. :-) Danielle and Viktoryia: While joined at the hip, this dynamic duo always kept me entertained and happy at biomed, and I'm gunna miss them. Alice: How that little tiny girl can lift more than her body weight in books, I just dont know! But, that just makes her even cooler. I will miss that little Spitfire. Patuta: My freshman baby! I will miss my little blonde angel! Elan: Girrrrrl, you fine. I love this kid to dealth. Seriously, where she has been all my life is still a giant mystery to me! We are beaching this summer in SD. WOOT.
Ok, my hands are getting tired...more later.
Peace out kids :-)
