this isn't a real update on the life front because, the thing is, there's really not much worth writing about going on.

1001 JOURNALS

i'm participating in the 1001 journals project. i just recently bought a blank journal and passing it around friends. anyone want in? :D

devious

they keep me sane (and laughing).

frustration & excitement

i'm here to vent about school because it is kicking my ass and i am running away like it's the bully from the playground and i'm that fragile, glasses-wearing kid who just wants to get away.

but enough about similes and metaphors; english isn't the problem presently.

my upcoming anatomy test promises to be the worst one of the year, in terms of material. here's a list of what i need to know to even have a chance at passing with a C (and i pretty much only know like half): 

- 61 muscles: locations on charts/models/cadavers, AND the origin, insertion, and action of each muscle.

- 36 tendons and ligaments.

- all of the bones and their landmarks of the lower and upper limbs

- cardiovascular system: trace blood circulation of adult and fetus, the heart, locate and identify veins and arteries.

- lymphatic system: know organs, tissues, and vessels.

- microscope: locate 4 structures and substructures on the microscope. 

- know all lower and upper limb dislocations and how/why they occur.

- AND DO THIS ALL BY MARCH 24TH.

if i possibly survive the next couple weeks and somehow don't blank too much when the test comes, i think i might just go treat myself to dinner and a movie.

i think i'm going to finally feel like a real college student. red bull and energy bars will be my bffs for the next week.

______________________

aside from school, i'm pretty stoked with the impending spring break. i want to live out this spring break - road trip with the bests, lunch and dinner with others, late-night starbucks, movie night, etc. 

this is what is keeping me going. and, seriously, that's all i really need. 

 

leap frog

seeing as how it's a leap year, i thought a blog would be appropriate to mark one blog in four years under february 29.

so, here it is. 

letters are the new mixtapes

it was pouring rain today & i liked it this way. even if it did make my jeans wet and my drive home more perilous.

anyways, i miss writing and receiving letters by mail. everything is so high tech now that all the writing we ever do and receive is in the form of email, text message, or myspace/facebook comments. which is why, i want to ask,

does anyone want a penpal? :)

you go girl! (& don't come back)

perversion. the theme of today was perversion. every other sentence that seemed to come out of my mouth sounded wrong in some way. take these three examples.

1. "did you give it to her?"
2. "did you stick your face in there?"
3. "i pulled my pants down and felt really good..."

i'll admit, if i were passing by and heard those sentences, i would probably stop first. and then laugh. which is exactly what my friends were doing. it's all about context though.

1. i was asking my friend whether he was able to give the girl he liked a mixtape and a pile of other gifts for valentine's day.
2. we had an anatomy test two weeks ago where we had to identify parts on the cadaver. sometimes the parts labeled weren't exactly visible so you had to really look into the cadaver. so, i asked my friend if she stuck here face in closer to see the organ in question.
3. this, i could have actually worded differently, but what's the fun in that? right before my anatomy lecture, i drank a cup of french vanilla cappuccino and had to sit through the entire hour lecture needing to use the bathroom. i couldn't even go as soon as class was over because there was only a 10 minute passing period and my next class was literally across campus. i finally got to go in the bathroom right next to my next class. & it was relief.

so, i guess the lesson here is not to judge to quickly. but, if you're ever bored with life, then do so.

i bought season 1 of the o.C last week and just started watching it today. i think, even if i were to become rich and famous, i'd still want to hang out in the heart of chula vista, where the people are diverse and, hell, there's something exciting about wondering whether you're going to have some filipino food, watch the sunset at the beach, dance at a quinceanera, or end up getting lost and ending up in mexico on any given day.
