| So last night, I guess in celebration that MCATs were over, my wonderful friends (no—not being sarcastic) got me drunk…for the first time ever… no woohoos… just made me realize that I am never ever gonna be drinking that much ever again. So, if you missed my drunkenness, you missed out, cuz it’s never happening again.
Also, now I think I am a really bad drunk. And I decided that I can make that decision since I seem to remember almost everything that happened—the horrors. I even remember asking people their names after they had just told me two seconds earlier. Plus, I remember other things that I said too… which I probably should not have, but I did, and I am sooo very sorry if I offended anyone. I am not even gonna blame it on the alcohol, I still felt rational in my decisions… I guess even drunk, I can’t stop being rational about things.
But that’s not even really why I am a bad drunk—let’s just say that I am really, really, really very sorry Duc-Uy for not being able to hold my alcohol last night. Maybe I can make it up to you somehow… I can clean your apartment or something…
Thanks to everyone who took care of me and made sure I was okay. I think that is the primary reason why I never really drank before. It’s cuz you go to parties, you stay sober and watch others around you getting wasted, but you also see that no one is making sure that they are okay, that they can make it home safely and not in the car of a drunk driver or alone walking on the streets. No one notices if people are getting sick or are depressed or missing. And it seems like there are only a few people around who make the efforts to take care of others, even if they are complete strangers. And I guess, I felt that if I weren’t sober to take of the people I cared about, then no one would, and no one would care if I were okay either.
But last night proved me wrong. I am very grateful for everyone who helped me. Knowing that you have friends who are there for you when you are in the worse states of being means so much. And being the kind of person who really doesn’t allow others to help her when she is in need, and would rather be the one to take care of everyone else, I don’t often realize that. So, THANKS.
But in conclusion, the lessons I learned were:
1. No more drinking vobe.
2. Just stay in the bathroom when getting drunk, that way you make it to the toilet instead of all over the Mickey Mouse blanket.
3. Don’t be the only one getting drunk when everyone else is sober…gotta have at least one other person drunk with you so you don’t look as stupid (and people who are actually getting drunk and not just turning red because of the wonderful Asian Glow).
4. And it re-emphasized that fact that I have the greatest friends in the whole wide world!!! I love you guys! | | |
| have you ever noticed that when one thing goes wrong in the day, it is often followed by a million more horrible occurances? it seems to always happen to me; so, i have come to the conclusion that murphy's law sucks.
friday night i was planning to study for mcats and go to bed early so i could rest up for my practice mcat the following day. unfortunately, i couldn't get to sleep until almost 4am, only to have to get up at 6 so that i could go running before heading to campus. i actually woke up late...only a half hour late, but late. i still went running, only to twist my ankle while stepping off a curb. then, since i haven't done laundry for almost a month, i was out of clean jeans, and so, i had to wear a skirt for the day, which meant i had to shave. cut myself shaving. blew out my blow dryer trying to dry my hair. burnt myself with the curling iron. missed my bus. second bus ran late. got to my test late, missing almost the first section completely. had to make up the missed section during lunch, so skipped lunch--the only real break during the 8+ hours of testing. but after that, all my bad luck all of a sudden ended...
weird. so, here i am now, thinking that i had a great day, only to remember that my morning was horrible.
it may be cuz i am still on a high from the night out. went to the maroon 5 & guster concert with tim, katie, and richard. also had a quick stop at the crazy horse (haha). the concert was awesome. it's amazing what a couple of hours of listening to some bands playing and watching a bunch of white guys try to dance does to perk up your day. ;p
well, i'd write more; especially since i haven't written anything since before christmas. but what can i say? mcats have become my life, and as most of you know, if you haven't seen me around, neither has anyone else (cept my wonderful mcat books and classmates). thought i would just update this since i did promise duc-uy i would eventually. ;p
hope you all have a great weekend. and don't forget to set your clocks ahead for daylight savings.  | | |
| wow...it has been so long since i last updated my xanga. i think i have just been way too busy to really sit down and write anything; but then again, even now, three weeks after my last entry, i still have nothing all that great to say. it's like time flies by when i am not doing anything. much like this semester. i am looking at my grades and wondering what the hell i was doing the past 3 months--cuz it definitely was not studying. oh well... i guess i will just have to kick ass next semester. i don't know how great that will be considering i also have to kick ass on mcats just to make up for the past 2.5 years of slacking off. i really need to get my head on straight. so, i am vowing right now to be much more focused next semester. no messing around or hanging out when i should be studying. (haha--yeah right). i will try my best though, and i am relying on my true friends out there to help me stay on track too.
okay--it's now 2:30am and i have been shopping and wrapping presents for the past 16 hours. my entire family is coming to town in 8 hours, and i am really tired. so, it's off to bed for now...
hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year! | | |
| okay... the week of hell is halfway over! yay! so far so good. nothing too bad has happened.
just a quick little summary of my week thus far:
tuesday: wrote 2 papers, took a midterm, ran errands,tabled with kevin, and began writing my asian am paper. didn't sleep that night...
wednesday: went to class, had to redo all of my paperwork for declaring my major because the office lost my papers and never put me in the system--grrr, tabled, ran around with nancy getting aaa stuff done for the next year, work, and 8 hours of validations. it was a loooonnnggg day, but having validations was a good thing to have in the middle of the week, especially a week like this one. it has really lifted my spirits and makes me want to work 10x harder just to make me believe that everything people said about me was true. by the way, i love all of you guys and i want to thank everyone for being such awesome friends and always being there to support me. thanks! so, anyway, validations started at 6pm...
thursday: and validations ended at 4am. so, yeah, didn't really sleep. i tried to write my asian am paper again only to change my topic for the 3rd time. took a little nap. woke up and started writing again. got 3 pages done and changed my topic for the 4th and hopefully, the last time. sold in 'n out burgers. studied. went to class. went to cheer for aaron at the mr. gamma phi pageant. although he didn't win, i think i would rather have him be mr. aaa instead anyway.  then, went home. since then i have been trying to write my asian am paper. seems to be going well, but i still have to study for my plant bio midterm tomorrow. ugh...
okay... back to work... | | |
