1. I just graduated with my Masters, but I still feel useless
2. I have big self-esteem issues and always doubt myself
3. I love Jrock (not just VK)
4. I love video games (console and MMORPGs, but I’m not a FPS girl)
5. I’m overweight but I’m working on that atm
6. I’m anti-social, but I prefer it that way (having few close friends > many friends in general)
7. I’m 22 and I’m not that independent….
8. I think I’m a boring person, seriously.
9. I never had a boyfriend (probably because of 6 and I don’t end up meeting a lot of people… and the fact that I’m ugly)
10. I’m an oblivious idiot when it comes to world affairs
Ok yea.
So it’s been one week since I finished all my work/classes. I got my grades, I’m quite pleased/surprised, but nothing too bad. What have I done since my freedom began? Just hung out with my friends. I’m still in my dorm so I just wanted to spend more time with my friends before I moved back to my house (3 hours away by car). I’m going to miss college life, but now I guess I have to grow up and make money, especially to finance my sporadic shopping sprees >.>
I just finished my Arrested Development marathon. Going to start either a 30Rock or Better off Ted one soon

Well sort of. I have one missing grade cause my lab PI went on a trip and I forgot to remind him about my lab rotation grade. Hopefully it doesn’t keep me from graduating smoothly. I am not going back to school. Anyways, now I need to go on the job hunt.

My last Spring Break (cause I’m going to graduate) and what did I do? Well, the only productive thing I did was exercise almost everyday and I lost like… 2lbs. Other than that and a medical school interview, I took the time to just … relax! Although I must say that I have a shitload of work to do and I plan on going back to school tomorrow to give myself the weekend to start on it. I was supposed to go back this morning, but the headache that I got yesterday turned into a minor fever this morning, and my head was killing me (still is). Do I regret how I spent my Spring Break? No. I liked it. Away from people, went shopping, applied to jobs, lost weight, held onto my sanity, now that is the life.
I went to Woodbury Commons Saturday, it was so windy and cold. For being an outlet mall, it’s still expensive because it’s mostly designer stuff so even though it’s much cheaper than the real store, it’s still costs a lot. The only store I could shop in was Esprit Clearance, which is different from just Esprit (two different buildings, might I add). They had really nice things for like $5-15 and they felt really nice, so of course I had to buy. And holy shit, my sister (with her money) spent so much at Woodbury, mostly at Brooks Brothers. But if you’re in Business, you make a lot more, but you need to spend a lot more to look good. I think I can rock the jeans and T-shirt look for the rest of my life :P
Btw, need to work on new layout. Make it more so-fist-te-kated…

So I’m cutting tomorrow’s classes to start my spring break early. Ok I lied, I have an interview at NYMC tomorrow so I came home today to go to it tomorrow (it’s in the next county over, might as well go home, right?) So anyways, I just want to get the interview over with. I’m not really interested in going there and I’m just doing the interview for practice in general. I’ve heard that there are some downsides to it (school life-wise), but then again, I think it’s a good school in terms of education and ranking. Plus it’s also 40 min away from Manhattan. But I really wanted to aim high, so I think I would like to stick to my plans of working for a few years then reapplying with new MCAT scores. Although, I really do not know what I would do if I did get into NYMC (a really slight chance) because then it would actually mean I have to think of the chances of me getting into a better school later on. Ironically, I am hoping I do not get in… (I know, weird, right?)
I got the exterminator to come in again on Monday! 
Still cute But it was for like 5 ants, but I was thinking the problem was only going to get worse and apparently he doesn’t come in on Tuesdays, so that would mean the problem might have escalated for another day until he could show up on Wed (plus I went home Wed (today), so I wouldn’t get to see him 
I wasn’t going to take the risk, but he probably thinks I’m crazy now. At the moment, I’m just scared that I will come back to my dorm and the ants would have formed an army. And they’re carpenter ants, not the little ones, these things look scary. And I’m not waking up to them eating my face, so yea.
Spring break, what to do? Might as well work hahahaha Not only school work, but also physical labor i.e. exercise. I want to lose weight to wear cooler clothes, but not only that. I’m very interested in how I would look like skinny o.o I’ve never been skinny, so it’s going to be a surprise. But I wouldn’t be surprised if I was still ugly lol
I’m really in the mood for a new layout, and I’m thinking DuelJewel! I really like their new song “The Greed” and I am starting to think they don’t get the attention that they deserve. Magazines seem to focus on the other bands (which I think lack in at least 1 area), but I think DuelJewel has grown to be a really good band. Good vocals, good guitars, good bass, good drums, please give them more attention!

Anyone have one of those weird conversations with your professor, the entire time thinking “What does he think about me to make him have this conversation with me????” So anyways, after class, my professor brought up the subject of this girl who he thinks is confused about her career and life choices (don’t want to bring up too many details) and I’m really starting to think he thinks I’m the same way… He also seems to think I want a PhD, which don’t get me wrong, I am considering it atm. But I feel now, more than ever, I know what I want. So life plan for the next 5 or so years:
1. Get a job and earn some money.
2. Pay back loans and pay for a car.
3. Take MCATs and/or GRE.
4. Research perks of MD/PhD or PhD alone.
5. Apply to Medical School! Then aim for Radiation Oncology or Radiology specialty!
6. If 5 doesn’t work, apply for PhD programs.
And an added criteria is that I really have to go to a better school for MD or PhD. I really did miss out on the whole beautiful campus/enjoyable school life. My college is a good school for my major, but seriously, there is no campus life.
I don’t know if I should be upset or weirded out by my professor. This girl is crazy and I would not do what she is doing. She got into medical school and she doesn’t want to go? It’s the reverse for me, I want to go but I can’t get in! I am doing my masters as a back-up if I cannot become a doctor because it’s 1 year, but I do not know what this girl is thinking. Medical school is a big commitment and if you really do not want to go (or not follow through even after entering it), then why did you apply? Please give up your spot for someone who truly wants to go.
I do not think I should clarify with my professor about my plans, more so I don’t want him to have an even worse impression of me. Also, I find that if you tell an engineering professor you are interested in medical school, they feel like you are not committed to the engineering curriculum and may not take you as seriously. I mean, I really do like engineering and how they think, and I really don’t regret Biomedical Engineering, but I think I would like to help people clinically. Right now, I am interested in Radiation Oncology and helping people recover from something that drastically changes their lives. But if I truly cannot get into medical school, I do not mind helping people by developing better technology for radiological diagnostic and therapeutic equipment.
I am focused right now. I just need to not be lazy.
