DC was awesome.
Seeing all the friends I haven't seen in forever and making new ones was great.
Hearing about the regional conference in MAINE, I felt the need to sign up for it immediately.
It's both just another place to add to my facebook "Where I've Been" map, and so much more than that.
So, the president of my AMSA club is doing research in a third world country right now; therefore, I have to plan a huge conference by myself...maybe I can do it?
Wish me luck.

Early in the Morning, Rising to my Feet

My chemistry exam today went well, I hope. Right now I am working on remembering all the material that is going to be on my Calc II exam tomorrow (which is going to take place at 8:30 in the morning). My question is, why do they make us do math so early in the freaking morning? I cannot tolerate it most of the time and end up falling asleep; what can I do to make the experience better?
In other news, today I found out that the boy I wrote my first two blog posts about was chatting to his new girlfriend (that's right, they are officially "in a relationship" on facebook, something we never were) on facebook the weekend I was gone for the AMSA conference. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I'm still kind of mad that I didn't know anything about it. Plus, this girl he's "dating" wouldn't even know good grammar if it bitch-slapped her; I don't know how he can be an English major and tolerate it. O well, I'm almost over it. Stupid boys.
Haha, speaking of boys, this guy I was dancing with at the hip-hop show asked me for my number; we'll see how that plays out. I'll have to look at his facebook before I can decide if anything will happen. Yeah, I'll book your face.
Anyways, for our pre-med AMSA chapter we are now putting on a fashion show for the Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Disease. I volunteered to model the prepster clothes. I'm excited, because my definition of school clothes is jeans+T-shirt = hawt! Haha, not really, but it might as well be.
I made a revelation today that I am now very addicted to regular coffee because I can get it for free at my place of work. It's good because it's free, but this will screw me up when school's over.

Ode to the Pursuit of Happiness
Oh, I linger,
for that last drop
of ground café
to fill my cup.

Between the Lines of Fear and Blame


Today I was in the school paper for attending the American Medical Students Association conference in DC. Although I am not a med student yet--merely a pre-med--this whole article got me thinking about my plans for a major. I realized that since I have been at school, the majority of my time that is not spent on sleep or schoolwork is used for reading the classics. Maybe my true passion is becoming an English major. Maybe that's why I needed to hang out with the boy...it would all make sense to me then. I also found out that I'm going to be an RA next year. w00t! I have no monies; this will be a good thing for me. I'll be able to exercise my authority over next year's freshmen, and make awesome door decorations (Yay arts and crafts). I am getting really burnt out of science right now, especially since my F+ on my latest bio exam (never saw that coming). I am sure I can make it up on the final, but knowing that I have a C in the class right now sucks bad.
I still haven't gotten any money back from the school after the AMSA conference so I couldn't pay off my credit card today. I hate being so broke. I have been selling "Free Books" from the Math, Computing, and Engineering Center on Amazon.com in order to break the cycle. I've made $46 dollars so far. I'll get out of this hole soon, I just hope I don't drown in it first.
I am actually going to do some homework tonight...maybe.
