it has been like 3 weeks since my last update, so here's what's been going on in my life...
i took my mcat in july, and i get my score back next tuesday. i have this uneasy feeling that i might not have done as well as i would like to...the rational part of me tells me that i did okay, but the emotional part tells me that i've screwed up. i really dont want to study for the mcat again, that was pure misery. also, i dont want to carry 30lbs of books to china with me.
the night before my birthday, i had another quarter life crisis, i realized that i'm really old. i mean, i've had this kind of realization before, but, not to the extend that i couldnt sleep. i finally feel like that i'm an adult, and that i cannot be considered as a child any more. i know that 18 is suppose to be the age that people realize this, but 18 is still a teen, but 20 is different. its a different decade in life. when i was a child, i've always looked forward to my teenage years. the problem is that, now, the teenage years are officially over. turning 20 marks the end of the childhood dream, and the teenage years. i'm in a different era now. i am officially an adult now. i'm scared.
for my birthday, i went to western carolina, tennessee, boone, and the great smoky mountains. we attempted to go to the casino on the cherokee reservation, only to realize the night before that the age limit is 21. it was quite a disappointment. however, the trip in general was a really nice get away from the city. i really like the mountains; it was extremely relaxing. the temperature was cool, and there was a constant breeze. after my birthday, we came back to greensboro, and i spent a whole day in the mall with my sister and my mom's credit card. that was nice. after being away from civilization for a while, i have to say that i do miss the shopping. i got some things that i will need while i'm in china. i got a really nice pair of versace sunglasses (which i lost on the first day that i wore it. see explanation below), and i got a new camera from my step sister. i guess my old camera is going into retirement.
i went back to the water park a couple of days ago. it brought back memories...i saw some people that i knew from last year, but a majority of the lifeguards there are new. i was there with my sister, and some of my mom's friends and their children, and i was suppose to be their guide for the day. i had no desires to go on any of those slides, as i have already spent too much of my time there. after hearing, "J.J. come on this slide with me" *100000, i finally agreed to go on a slide with my sister. so, after resurfacing, i realized that my sunglasses was gone. i swam to shore, and looked into the 12ft pool, i saw a brown spot at the bottom of the pool. after determining that was my sunglasses, i went down the slide one more time trying to reach the bottom to retrieve it. going against the strong current from the slide, i was able to reach the spot to reach for my sunglasses. however only to realize that it was not mine. so i swam to shore again, and looked into the pool once more. i saw another brown spot behind the water slide. but that place was hard to swim to, so after trying another 2 times unsuccessfully, i gave up. after i got home, i told my dad what happened, he was not very upset. so he told me that he'll take me back to the store the next day to get another pair. but, when i got to the store the next day, the store didnt have the same pair, so i had to settle for a different pair.
till next time.
