so i just got back to boston today, and the campus was FILLED with people...mostly freshmen and their parents. ran into a lot of people already, including some interphasers! i saw elliott randomly outside kresge, and then saw brianna and adam in burton conner. i think arron is also in burton conner somewhere. i think i actually really like the 2010's! the interphasers were pretty cool already, but i've already talked to a buttload of freshmen today and i really like them. i actually like them a lot better than both the 09's and 08's in general. and erica and i even met this one kid whose dad apparently also lived on conner 3. lol it was funny, his dad was teaching us all sorts of pranks that he used to do when he lived on conner 3.

i'm excited! it'll be a good year...can't wait until everyone gets back to campus again

wow, i think i just watched the entire first season of Scrubs in one day. ok so that's not that impressive, but this is coming from a person who never watches TV

i don't really know what to make of Scrubs...i really really really like it(hence, watching the entire first season all at once), and i can't believe i didn't discover this show earlier...but at the same time, it kinda bothers me, because i kept seeing myself (the inner me, which few people truly know) in so many of the characters...and so many times, one of the characters would say something about something, and i'd just think "holy crap, that's exactly what i thought too..." or maybe that's what the creaters of the show had in mind when they wrote it. *shrugs*

isn't it strange though? we never really want to see a "mirror" of ourselves, but yet when we see it, we just can't seem to tear ourselves away from it

you know what's the worst feeling in the world? seeing people who you care about all depressed and stuff, and knowing that no matter what you do, you can't help them at all

BOSTON MASSACRE II!!!!

i'd post more, but i have a feeling that if i did, all my boston friends (with the exception of akil) would kill me, like seriously =P

HOLY SHIT LIFE IS GOOD


i almost can't believe that the MCATs are, well, over. completely done. well, at least i hope i won't have to take them again. it was kinda crazy - the room next to us was talking loudly the entire time, and when we asked them if they could lower their voices a bit, the guy in charge was like "NO." what? anyways, it wasn't actually that bad....the general consensus seems to be that the test was hard, which is good news in a weird sort of way..but yea, wow. it feels so incredibly good to be done and not have to come back to the dorm and stress out. and i can actually work desk now and not look stressed out most the time! it actually wasn't that nerve-wracking, i felt surprisingly calm about the test, thanks to all the encouragement and support from everyone around me. gosh, have i mentioned how much i love people in general? jay, chen, erica, jaime, simon, spike, kendall, nicola, levi, astro, mavis, ron ron, jenna, bryan, meng, brinda, kieran, joseph, sophia, megan, gemma, the interphase kids....holy crap, i can't stress enough how much yall have helped me through these last few weeks, even if you didn't realize it...thanks so much...seriously, life can't get much better right now

hmm speaking of the interphase kids, i actually really miss having them around. the dorm feels really empty without all of them running around, and it was actually fun having them stopping by desk and chatting, even though half the time it was like "dammit i have to study!" they're all actually really nice kids...i wish i got to know some of them better before they all moved out of the dorm


anyways, after MCATs, i was on the way back across the bridge, and this creepy old guy (seriously, he was about 40 or older) came up to me in a bike and basically followed me all the way across the bridge and halfway back to the dorm, and the whole time i was just trying to figure out how the hell to get rid of him...the whole approach of acting really negative didn't work...he had a boston accent, so i figured that if i said "i love the yankees!" enough times, he would get mad and go away, but nope, that didn't work...i think i was eventually mean enough and managed to escape..then i came back to the dorm and found everyone sitting around in the suite lounge, and NONE OF THEM WERE PLANNING ON GOING TO POUR HOUSE. wtf?! such a crime. well, except for jay. apparently they had sat around writing emails half the afternoon about not going to pour house, and jay was the only one who wanted to/could go, since spike had to eat dinner with his parents, and then erica didn't want to go etc, etc..the usual conner 3 indecisive banter that we all so love =)...but anyways, jay and erica and i eventually ended up going to pour house and poking around stuff at sharper image before going to AMC to watch "accepted." BTW, sharper image has the most amazing massage chairs that not only massage your back, but also your calves and feet as well. oh man, it was great, but only for like 10 seconds, because i'm extremely ticklish and couldn't stop giggling because the back massager part was really ticklish. "accepted" was actually really good! i'm so glad that jay and erica convinced me to watch "accepted" with them instead of watching "snakes on a plane"...although i must say, just seeing samuel l. jackson going around saying "mothafucka!" every 5 seconds would have been pretty amusing in itself...i was actually disappointed when he didn't say that in star wars III...but anyways, like jay said, "accepted" had one of the best endings of any funny movie that i've ever seen. i'd totally go watch it again, so if anyone wants to watch it, let me know!


ok yea, i need to stop writing soon and go to bed cuz i really want to be able to make it to church tomorrow morning before going back home. man, it's weird, but it really feels good to be able to start going to mass again at the chapel...i don't know why i like it so much - maybe it's just because of the way it feels? not sure..the chapel just always feels so...sacred..?, despite being unfortunately shaped like a sardine can from the outside. there's just something about catholic masses that bring back memories of home, and sometimes i think about and i wish that i had been a better catholic when i was growing up in houston. i don't actually know what i believe in right now. i don't believe in all the catholic beliefs, even though i still know the nicene creed by heart and when i recite it, i really do mean it. i believe in a God..not because i was taught that there was a God, but because my last two years at college has proven to me that, well, there MUST be a God...funny how that works, isn't it? before college, when i went to mass every week, i didn't really believe anything at all, but once i got to college and stopped going to mass for two years, i realized the exact opposite..i was actually kinda sad that i wasn't able to go to mass at all during the summer because MCAT classes were sunday mornings at 10. but last week we didn't have class, so i dragged simon to mass and then he dragged me to the gym right afterwards. haha simon is so amusing...he's totally obsessed with getting a six-pack so that ling will be happily surprised when she gets back from germany. it's slightly annoying that i have to take two showers within a 3 hour time block on sundays, but it's a pretty nice routine - mass and then gym...in fact, i think i might start doing that normally during the school year

GAH, i'm writing way more than i originally intended to. i really do think too much, which i think might possibly be a curse sometimes. i think that in order to cover up how much i think, i just end up talking a lot...which is probably why i get along so well with people who both think and talk a lot...sometimes i'm not sure whether it's that i think too much or daydream too much...or whether it's a combination of both together at the same time.


ok, damn, i have to pack now, and maybe help people move. i'm in houston tomorrow! be back in boston on the 27th, i think? the freshmen will all be here by then - that will be fun...although we still have no ideas for floor rush. chen had this awesome idea that we should just all sit around in the floor lounge while wearing lingerie and watching a movie, since our floor is seriously almost all gals anyways. although i think the dorm would get pretty upset if we actually did that. =)

it's so nerve-wracking and tense to be in a room with two different groups of people who don't really like each other that much, yet you're good friends with both groups

anyways, wow, summer really is coming to an end. MSRP people have already moved out, and the interphasers are getting ready for their finals and then they're moving out as well. actually it's kinda dumb because they're making the interphasers move in the middle of the finals...that can't be fun. hmm maybe i should bake them cookies or something, but that would take up a lot of time since there are a lot of interphasers, and time is one thing that i don't have right now. yup, MCAT studying.

although i'm getting slightly worried about the fact that i'm not worried at all. man, i'm so glad that none of my close friends here in boston are pre-med. hooray for conner 3 laziness! that really has kept me from stressing out too much, which i'm really glad about. jenna says that back in houston (where most of my friends are pre-med) everyone is freaking out. anyways, just gotta keep in focus until the actual test this saturday.

on a lighter note, tonight we're going out to Midwest Grill to stuff ourselves with MEAT (it's a brazilian meat buffet!) for Astro and Levi's going-away dinner! i should really stop eating now so that i can gorge on meat later....mmmmmmm

ARGH i can't figure it out. no matter how tired or how awake or how apathetic or how enthusiastic i am, the score always freaking stays the same. i mean, i suppose it's a good thing in a way, cuz i feel better about the fact that i can do relatively well while half-asleep, but still...? GAH
