yes, i know it's been a long time since i updated... this is just so people don't think i'm dead.
things that have happened:
~my dog smooch died on may 20. :( i was driving home from constantine where i had been visiting travis and i found him on coon lake road. my sister had called me earlier and asked me to look for him on the way home, since they hadn't seen him for 5 hours... so i was kind of expecting to find him that way... but it's always a traumatizing time when your pet dies. we had him for 8 years... the longest we'd had a pet. i still forget sometimes, and think i need to let him outside, or i think i hear him scratching to come back in, sometimes i think i see him lying on the couch or something... it's sad times with no cuddly puppy around. :(
~i've been filling out the amcas application for medical school. it's driving me insane... i have to input so much stupid information it's ridiculous.. and it takes freakin forever. at least there's only one application for all the different schools, and i only have to worry about school specific applications if the school decides they like me. which isn't looking too good right now. i'm not even really sure where i want to go. the six schools i've listed on the application so far are university of michigan, michigan state, and wayne state, because they're in michigan and state school are more likely to accept in-state applicants, new york university and mount sinai, because they're in manhattan and i would die to go there, and wake forest in north carolina, because i really like the post baccalaureate program there and i'm thinking that might be my best bet. anyway, i find out my mcat scores sometime this month... i am so freakin nervous... if i have to take them again in august i will be very very miffed.
~i've been to the movies a million times it feels like. i've seen troy 3 times now, which is good because i heart that movie. i saw day after tomorrow a couple days ago, and it was probably the worst movie i've ever seen. and just because i like to bitch, here are my qualms with the movie... don't read if you don't want spoilers, but seriously, does it matter for a movie like this?
1- the guy who played the vice president... okay, did they have a dick cheney pageant in the casting department? i think this bothered me a bit more than it should have...
2- the wolves... oh the wolves. what are the chances that three wolves are released into new york city and all three manage to survive the hail, water, ice, snow thing... and then just happen to show up at the one time when sam et. al. decide to go outside?
3- jack hall guy and his minions of science decide to drive from washington dc to new york city to find sam hall. great. let's send the one guy who knows what's going on to go find his kid that will live or die just the same whether he's there or not. and wasn't it nice how there was 12,735 feet of snow everywhere except the roads? that certainly was convenient, eh? and even if they weren't stopped in philadelphia, where did they plan on getting gas to make it to manhattan?
4- jack hall et. al. walk from philadelphia to new york city in what... 2 or 3 days in that movie? yeah right, not at the slow pace they were going...
i think i could go on for days like this... and don't even get me started on the dialogue... what a poorly written movie.
i think that's about it for my life the last week or so. i've been sitting at home or sitting at the movie theatre. quite a boring life... i start work tomorrow night though, which will give me something to do i suppose. that means i have to stay up all night tonight though... which is always torturous and lonely. usually i'm good until about 3... that's when the infomercials start and most of the world is in bed, even the ones who stay up late. so yay, another boring night spent in bed watching the same movies over and over.
in other, rather exciting news, i got new shoes today, and they are super cute. that's probably more exciting for me than anyone else though... i also got new bedsheets... they are purple and snuggly. i'm very excited to go swim in them, but i might have to shave my legs first, just so i get the full effect. it's been a while since i've shaved my legs... *sigh* it's sad to not have a boy around that i need to impress.
i just got really thirsty. i'm going to go fetch some water now.
