| i guess this is my first blog since moving downtown.
i started living down here (the FABULOUS gaybourhood of Church & Wellsley) last monday. i LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!! it's thuper convenient!
i'm steps away from the LCBO, 24hr Sobey's and Shoppers, 11 minute walk
from the med sci building. i love my tuna can!!!
i have huge walk-by closet...lol.
i'm so excited for school!!!! i'll be spending the first semester taking anatomy with the first year U of T med school students...all 200 of them. i'm subjected to the same curriculum and testing but for a fraction of the tuition compared to them! AHAH! *i saw some cute ones during orientation...hehe*....but most of them are soooo damn young :(damn those diligent/never-miss-a-class/4-year-graduating kids!!! arg. i like being a 'mature' grad student.
i'm so thankful that everything worked out with my move downtown. my schedule is jam-packed from monday through friday...everyday from 8am-5pm with only one hour for lunch...not to mention studying after school everyday. i have dissection labs twice everyday of the week...before and after lunch. after this year i'll probably have no problem eating a big bag of popcorn during a slasher flick.
i have to be up in 4 hours but i'm too excited to sleep...i'm once again the excited child i once was waiting for the first day of school! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~!!!!! i'm finally HERE. thank you God.

| the end of summer 2008. almost.
in less than 2 weeks i'll be back in school. the wonderful new beginning i've been praying for and dreaming about over the past year and half since the discovery of this program. i'm so nervous. i just hope everything works out and i won't have to deal with too much BS at the last minute...which unfortunately happens almost all the time when it comes to important stuff. such is my luck...and/or product of my own faults when it comes to deadlines and stuff. i'm not very organized and i've come to realize how my lack of organization can really bite me back in the ass. but before i begin with the adventures of the new fall semester, i must take a look back at my most uneventful summer EVER.
i know for certain that this summer was indeed a bummer...how?
1. i've only worn sandals ONCE this summer. ONCE. sure there were quite a few really hot days this summer, but my lack of summer fun can be concluded as such: i only have high-heeled/platform sandals (i don't own flip-flops cuz i hate the sensation of having something stuck in between my toes). high sandals are only worn when going out for a night of fun requiring sprucing up. i've only had ONE occasion this WHOLE SUMMER that made me feel the need for my sandals. the rest of my summer days were spent barefoot at home or in sneakers at work and school. how sad is that.
2. i have no new pictures this summer. as a girl who's one of the founding members of PWA that is one SAD realization. no PWing at all this summer. i think i might've snapped a shot here and there in early May, but since the start of summer school i've completely stopped partying. sure i got drunk almost everyday at home, at work, at bars after school...but no outtings PW-worthy. i guess this goes hand in hand with my lack of sandal-wearing.
3. i've been home....A LOT. unfortunately these are just my wine bottles (i have a different stash for my vodka bottles in the basement along with all the other liquor bottles...)
(notice my sad guitar hero controller collecting dust in the back)
so yeah...if i wasn't at school or at work or drinking after school or drinking at work, i've been studying and drinking at home. and then more drinking at home. 3 video games came and went, all of which resulted in more staying in and drinking at home in between studying...i am once again the coolest kid on the block.
4. no real extra-curricular learning/enjoying/appreciating of any kind this summer. no books read, no concerts attended, no new places visited. i dedicated my summer to the thorough studying of the human anatomy. for a while there i WAS able to tell you upon the pointing to any body part: which cells occupy that area, which artery/vein run through it, which muscles make it move, and which nerve gives it feeling...but it's been exactly a week since my final exam and i've pretty much forgotten it all. how productive.
5. this has nothing to do with my actual lack of appreciation for my summer, but the following things REALLY ticked me off this summer:
a. GLADIATOR SANDALS. no offense to anyone that own them and rock them proudly, but man do i HATE the sight of them....everywhere.
b. FULLFIDO DOGS. how are bloated, obese-looking dogs cute!?! i see their billboards up EVERYWHERE and it's fucking disturbing.
c. CHINESE FEMALE GYMNASTS. first, i agree with the rest of the world in their suspicion that those chinese girls are underaged. second, what's with the hideous blue/purple eye makeup!? dude those girls are soooo damn young looking already, don't put disney-princess pastel makeup on them to make it worse!!!! arg! GOOOOO NASTIA LIUKIN!!
d. BRANGELINA TWINS. enough!!!!!!!!!
so there. one shitty ass summer for June topped by all those other annoying things one would only notice due to the lack of summer excitements.

| i have no longer a care in the world other than moving into my new tuna-can and making sure everything goes smoothly in terms of entering grad-school. i got my key today for my apartment...tuition and enrollment worries next week. i've come so far. God helped me do whatever i needed to do to get here...but the last few pushes...i need Him again. pray for me. i can't say much else. I have FAITH...and the rest...i just need more faith...which I have...just in need of more assurance. i don't mean to doubt. i'm just scared. everything is about to be perfect. i'm so damn nervous.
i'm unsettled. my heart is pounding as everything becomes so absolute in the very few last days. i've come so far. this is the very last few moments. the end of the o-very-long chapter i've been dying to complete over the past six damn years.
i'm unfulfilled. my heart is wandering in hopes of finding temporary settlement. i wouldn've have gotten to where i am today if my heart prioritized a man over my dreams. i know that for certain. but given my current limbo of the nearing end of past and the nearing beginning of the next forever...could two weeks of a temporary distraction be so bad? i wonder. perhaps i have more work to do in preparation for what's to come...but if it's possible...i dare to dream the impossible.
