This is for the 3 people that will read this. My life is boring so I'm not going to talk about it, but I will make a list.

Things that I'm tired of, in no particular order:

--political campaign commercials
--douchebags
--perverts/creepy males
--the studs at the gym who like to watch themselves pump iron in the mirror
--the housewives at the gym who crowd around the ellipticals and arctrainers to socialize, or cruise on resistance level 1 while they read their Self magazines and/or Danielle Steel books
--sweating like I'm a dude
--misogynists
--bad drivers
--hot weather
--the sun
--my hair
--clothes being so expensive
--flatbilled caps
--high waisted pants
--people who think its trendy to "go green"
--marketing campaigns that target the people mentioned above
--a certain person being 3 hours away
--bobby pins, because I always lose them
--always feeling too hot or too cold, but never just right
--how much more expensive school is this semester
--no football season
--China
--women's gymnastics
--Facebook
--online social networks in general
--Brett Favre
--that commercial with Eli and Peyton Manning
--people who are not smart

My Spring Break rocked.

The end.

Things I Learned in 2007, in no particular order:

--How to not procrastinate
--How to get my way out of a speeding ticket
--How to bake better
--I'm capable of more than I thought
--Love
--Helping people and becoming a doctor really is what I want
--Old people aren't nearly as grumpy as I previously thought
--How to not take people or things for granted anymore
--More about my flaws, and how to work on them
--All about stress
--That I like gel ink pens more than ballpoint pens
--How to be a guitar hero
--How to hate distance
--And time
--And chemistry
--And the Patriots (Side note: Thank God, my two most hated teams are now going to the Super Bowl. What am I supposed to do now?? I would love to see the Pats thwarted from a 19-0, truly perfect season, but then it would be by way of Eli Manning and the Giants... and I don't know if I can take both Mannings with a ring, consecutively. I'm so torn. Maybe UP Stadium will collapse upon itself during the Super Bowl and take care of this dilemma for me.)
--That I like college-ruled paper WAY better than wide-ruled
--That letting people know exactly how I feel when I feel it is better than keeping things inside, which is what I always used to do
--That my car can get 420+ miles on the highway with one tank of gas
--That fake nails are totally better than real ones
--That trashy reality TV is actually more entertaining than I thought... not that I watch it or anything
--That that coffee place on Knickerbocker has the best smoothies I've ever tasted
--That I wish things were different...
--...but I'm still happy with where I'm at right now
--A lot of various other things I can't think of right now. If you know of something I learned this past year that I failed to list, you should remind me of it.

Things I Learned Today:

--Cloverfield is a really good movie
--Lost Season 3 is better the second time around
--Excessive texting makes me feel like a 14 year old girl
--Those sammies at Quizno's are a lot better than I thought they would be

This morning I bought a super cute puffy jacket for $10.99 when it was originally $59.99. This makes me happy.

I got the job I mentioned in my last post. This makes me happy.

I didn't go to math class today because I didn't want to. This makes me happy. (Fuck you, algebra.)

I delivered poinsettias in addition to the lunches on my Meals for the Elderly route yesterday, and I swear those old people make my life 100x better. This makes me very happy.

The Cowboys are 11-1. This makes me happy.

I have not been getting enough sleep lately at all, especially this past week. I've been going to bed late and then not being able to fall asleep. Like last night, for example. I went to bed some time before 2, and couldn't fall asleep until much later. The last time I looked at my clock last night it was 4:56, and I had to wake up at 6:30. This makes me very unhappy.

My math and organic chemistry finals are comprehensive. My anatomy final isn't. If anatomy WAS comprehensive, the sheer volume of stuff it would have to cover would make the questions more basic and less detailed, and therefore an easier test. This all makes me quite unhappy.

I've been pretty neurotic lately and I'm not really sure why. This obviously makes me unhappy.

There haven't been any new episodes of the Office for several weeks now. This makes me unhappy.

I've been looking up MCAT prep kits and books and stuff like that, and damn! it's so expensive! We're talking thousands of dollars. It's not like buying this stuff will guarantee my entry into med school... maybe if it WAS a ticket to acceptance I'd be happier about dishing out this money. Me = unhappy.

The Patriots are 12-0. This makes me unhappy. (That Gaffney "touchdown" towards the end of the game Monday night WAS NOT A TOUCHDOWN! omg. Bias in the officiating! What a stupid game.)

Hmmmm, looks like there's more unhappy things than happy things.

The semester is almost over, hooray! I wouldn't really say it's been a terrible semester, just a really busy one that required much more time devoted to school than I would have liked. But as long as no disasters occur during finals week, things look good as far as grades are concerned.

My Thanksgiving was nice. Thanksgivng has always just generally irritated me, though. I get a nice taste of vacation with Thanksgiving break, but just as I start getting relaxed it gets taken away from me and then I have to grind out another 2 week of class and then the terrible finals week before I get vacation time back. Anyway, I had a good break. Thanksgiving is always a good holiday.

I applied for my very first job on Thursday. I know, it's shocking. I have my very first interview on Monday. It's an on-campus job where I basically make my own hours, will work 15 hrs/week at the very most, get $9.00/hr, and all I have to do is help people succeed in a class I will have very successfully completed (human anatomy) by next semester, when I'll start. I'm excited, I hope I get it. I also hope that if I get it, I don't blow all my paychecks on cute clothes and shoes...

I really like volunteering at the Boys and Girls Club. Little kids seem to like me, so I like them back. Most of what it has consisted of has been teaching them how to read and write, and I've decided that it's almost too bad that I don't want to be a teacher. I think I'm pretty good at teaching kids things like why the word "dolphin" doesn't have an "F" in it... and how to spell their own name.

Now that I have a pool table ready for whenever I feel like playing, that's all I've been doing the past few days (aside from battling food poisoning... ugh). I'm getting pretty good. I'm sure there will be a couple billiards parties at my house over winter break.

It is now December, which means it's my favorite month of the year. What does everyone want for Christmas?! There's only one thing I want, so start preparing:



Which reminds me -- Charlie, my Christmas present to you is comparable to Barrett Ruud, Ronde Barber, and Derrick Brooks presenting you a giant platter of mushrooms. You've only got about 23 more days of waiting, start getting excited!

Preface: In case you didn't know, Jeff Gillooly was Tonya Harding's husband, and he was the one who hired the guy that took out her competition's (Nancy Kerrigan's) knee. You can enjoy the show now.



Some defender just needs to grow a pair and rip Tom's MCL, medial meniscus, and ACL to shreds during a late vicious hit and face the consequences for the greater good.
