| so i didnt really keep xanga as alive as i wanted....but im back. facebook just doesnt help much when youre going through a transitional phase in your life.
med school started for 1 semester already, and its actually not as bad as i imagined it to be. i dont work 3 days a week anymore and all the classes are recorded online. so essentially i just sleep, eat, study, work out and the cycle repeats. on the weekends i even have time to drive to austin or houston. i still dont like san antonio though. its too much of a small town for me. everything closes soooo early. i miss chinatown and all my friends in houston. but i guess its good that i have no distractions here so i can focus better.
been trying to figure out what specialty i would like to go into. i know for sure not cardiology, pedes, radiology, or ob-gyn. since i really like our anatomy lab, ive been trying to increase my exposure to surgery. just went to the OR last friday to observe plaque removal from a pts femoral artery. it was interesting and tiring at the same time. i dont know how they were able to stand there for hrs. maybe it had to do with the fact that i didnt sleep at all the night before haha.
also got accepted to go on a medical mission trip to ethiopia this summer with 7 other classmates. we will be there for about 3 weeks and hope to treat as many pts as possble. afterwards i have decided to go to egypt, israel, and jordan for another month since i probably wont be back in that part of the world for a loooong time.
didnt think i was going to continue the sorority life, but when the sw governor stepped down so i volunteered to take her place on national board. and im glad i did because i realized how much i really missed the girls. now i have a chance to reconnect with all the sw and national chapters. the meetings in other cities are awesome and i have an excuse to go back to all the internal events.
2008 has been a really dramatic year actually. my 3rd car was totaled on the way to florida during summer and i had to buy a fourth car in my 4 yrs of driving history. yeah pretty bad. i also had to get adjusted to medical school while juggling the sw governor position. lastly there has been so many bumps in my relationship, that in beginning of 2009 it just didnt work out.
well actually it doesnt help when i found out after the breakup that he was cheating while i was out of the country during winter. just dealing with it now and moving on.
lets see if ive accomplished all of my resolutions from 2008:
1. Lose 15 lbs - didnt lose 15, but i sure lost fat and toned up
2. Be more compassionate/considerate/carefree - ive tried and its been hard but i think ive improved
3. Pay off my debt by May - yup did that but crashed my car that same day
4. Drink, go nuts, and dance on stage again - done that many times....the stage part was actually just 2 weeks ago
5. Splurge and take a huge trip in July before i hit med school - yup florida....when i crashed my 3rd car
6. Dont faint or throw up when i start the anatomy lab - nope but i did get splashed with all the formaldehyde 2nd day in lab
7. Kick ass in all my 7 classes first semester in med school - actually doing well so far
8. Eat my heart out - and cook/invent a new dish every other week - starving in san antonio.....no chinatown or chinese grocery store!!!
9. Manage to come back to houston for occasional kdphi events - yes since im gov now, also to UT, baylor and ou
10. Keep xanga alive - still trying
my 2009 new yrs resolution:
1. become even more fit and toned by summer
2. raise enough money for the ethiopia trip
3. travel to israel, egypt, and jordan safely
4. kick ass the rest of the semester and beginning of 2nd yr
5. meet more people and establish connections at the school and hospital
6. visit my girls in other cities more often
7. dont slack off during the week.
8. go splunking and skydiving again
9. learn how to find happiness on my own
10. always help others when its in my power to do so
11. learn how to become whole without depending on others
12. learn how to TRULY forgive
13. learn how to respect others in order to gain respect for myself

| wow so when u keep seeing the same people writing everyday u really know xanga is dying. it used to be there were so many updates you cant even read in one day....sigh. anyway. good for me to vent or what not.
2008 is just a whirlwind for me. first i totaled my car on jan 3rd which was completely my fault i admit it. i was driving in extrerme RAAAAAAAGEEEEE. lesson well learned: never drive when youre beyond exhausted or furious.
so if that wasnt enough to put me in debt after buying another car, my damn $2500 laptop broke after a yr and half. and its the motherboard's problem. so forget about fixing that. after that it was a series of germs attacking me from all directions thanks tracy kim diana and the entire kdphi house. so that was 3 weeks of no fun.
cuz of the debt, now i cant even go to vegas, kdphi convention in chicago, or fly anywhere for spring break. since i need to work a MINIMUM of 10 + hrs a day to pay off my debt. and that doenst include spending money so if i want like a meal from chic-fil-a i better stay an extra half hr, well after paying the rent gas internet and wutever damn bills i have. what a great way to end my senior 2nd semester sigh......
at least the kdphi presidency position is winding down after midyear. thanks for everyone who hung on last semester and through that weekend. jeez that was crazy! i am so glad everything is going well i love the house right now!
so ill finally be graduating in may, and will be leaving for san antonio in july for med school. its weird how when you're trying to get in thats all you can think about. need to do this and that and this to boost my app. and now that im accepted, i dread it and i dont even want to think about it. freakin weird.
i guess my relationship with frank is the best it could be right now. all i know is after one person stumbles you really got to start from the ground and build it back up. its been soooo looooonnggg and hard. ive never experienced the defeat and sadness ive had during this process. but at least its improving everyday and i can only say im lucky it is the way it is today
so a lot of people said that ive changed. im either more tired, sad, cynical, stern, less caring, sarcastic, or wutevr it seems like. maybe it is true. for anyone who has experienced it or got offended in anyway i apologize, you probably caught me at one of those moments which i seem to be having a lot right now. i think a multitude of things starting from october just blasted me and im now too tired to enjoy life like i used to. or maybe cuz i let someone else control my happiness. hmm......guess itll be more evident as time goes on. or maybe cuz im just graduating and cant believe how four yrs have passed by so quickly. the supposed best yrs of my life will be over in 2 n half months JEEZ! wutever it is i want it to stop, this weird emotional transformation im going through. but ive tried for 5 months already and its still not working.....so if anyone knows tell me. maybe i just need a big breakfast taco, some sushi, and beef noodle soup......food always makes my day better =)
well at least i learned something. when you feel regret or guilt, it is ABSOLUTELY pointless to look to the past for answers or come up with a thousand different scenerios on how you couldve changed the past to make the present better. IT DOESNT WORK!!!!!!!!!! all you can do is do everything in your power unconditionally to make the best of it now. sounds cliche, but damn people really dont say it for no reason cuz its so true. well all i know is i couldnt have gone through these months w/o my friends. i think i really wouldve gone nuts. thanks for putting up with the venting crying sarcasm and all sorts of food/alcohol cravings i have. yall are awesome =)
so my new yrs resolution:
1. Lose 15 lbs - dont call me crazy i dont starve myself
2. Be more compassionate/considerate/carefree
3. Pay off my debt by May
4. Drink, go nuts, and dance on stage again
5. Splurge and take a huge trip in July before i hit med school
6. Dont faint or throw up when i start the anatomy lab
7. Kick ass in all my 7 classes first semester in med school hahhaa.....well see about that
8. Eat my heart out - and cook/invent a new dish every other week
9. Manage to come back to houston for occasional kdphi events hahaha
10. Keep xanga alive lol
Thanks xanga for putting up with my venting i feel all better already =)

| wow i havent gone on xanga for a long time. soo busy with school, work, med school interviews, and planning kdphi midyear for january. everyday is non-stop running around. i need a vacation.
i made a mistake awhile ago and now im trying to mend it, i wonder if things will ever go back to the way it was. but nevertheless, ill try my best anyway because i was responsible for it.
i hope everyone is all getting their shit together and accomplishing a lot this past year. i cant believe pi class will be having their 3 yr dinner, and i am graduating college in may. i will no longer be a kid. i want to have 2 more piercings on my ear but now i dont even think thats appropriate anymore.
hope everything goes according to plan and ill get accepted somewhere in texas. please just ONE!!!! if i do.....i will party from graduation til first of class in july hahahah.
planning a trip to vegas during spring break....and maybe taiwan in the summer. but thats fun for later.
now i have my fingers crossed on 2 exams, 4 essays, 1 project, 1 interview, and 3 roadtrips coming up the next 3 weeks......ill need 5 drinks when thanksgiving hits =)
the girls who made me the person i am today......
