| So I forgot about my livejournal again until I caught a certain mushroom in demand reading my friends' pages.
I just finished my first year of medical school! It's mega exciting. My plans for the summer are to kick back, take it easy and to maybe take a vacation or two :P
I'd love to work at a clothing store or as a waiter. People think I'm crazy but I've never had a job where I had to work with cash and with people in such an intense way. I think it would be a good experience and prevent me from turning into a lazy blob this summer.
I've started some new dance classes, I'm doing modern and breaking. The are both going well.
I'm on Marine Atlantic right now. I went to Halifax to meet up with a friend and we are driving back to sin city together. It should be a grand time.
Boys still suck. But I'm over it.

| So I don't ever write in this anymore.
I use facebook. I know. I'm a whore. I don't care.
But livejournal is still a great place to procrastinate when you're feeling particularly pensive and stalking people you're just too lazy to write or call doesn't quite fulfill that need.
School is going pretty well, looks like I'm going to pass all my courses this term, some significantly better than others, but all will be passed and for those of you who don't know P=MD :D
I'm moving closer to the hospital next term. I obviously have really mixed feelings about this. I've lived with Joel/Diana/Allie in one form or another for the past 5.5 years so it is really sad to leave them. I'm trying to think of what's going to be better for me school-wise and living practically next door to the school seems like it would be the best bet. They are my best friends and I hope to still hang out with them a lot. I mean...what would life be without the condo?
Boys will be boys. I still pretend to understand them when I clearly don't...ugh... That's all I'm saying on that topic.
My family is doing quite well. I recently found out that my little cousin has been diagnosed as Autistic. She lives in Ontario and my mom is going up there in January to help for a little while. My family rocks. It's nice to know that if anything ever happens to me they'll be there in a flash. When my cousin had to get surgery in SJ, my aunts flew in from the west coast and it wasn't even major surgery.
Makes me happy that Christmas is coming up. I can't wait to go home and spend some time with my mom even if it will only be fo a week. Leaving the world of cranial nerves, lipid metabolism and renal function will be a great relief. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| So I was sitting at my desk working yesterday when I got an e-mail from Diana saying that MUN Med Admissions was trying to get a hold of me. I called them back and they told me that they have a spot for me in September and I'M GOING TO BE A DOCTOR!!!
I'm obviously super pumped! I called my mom right away but the phone was off the hook so I had to call my brother. He was on his way to work but turned around to go home and wake my mom up. He handed her the phone and as per my instructions told mom there was a super big emergency. I then told her that something really serious happened and she was super worried until I told her what it was. She screamed and shrieked. :P I was still at work and my cell phone got disconnected and by the time I called her back she was already on the phone with my grandmother :P
Diana prepared a feast for me and Joel ( You're the best Diana ) to celebrate and she even decorated the apartment with balloons and a banner. Steve and Rickey came over and we had a 'few' drinks (Joel and I had 10 martinis each) to celebrate.
To say that I'm on cloud nine right now would be an understatement. I was looking forward to doing my Master's in the Fall but I don't know if I were ever as excited about it as I am now about medical school. I really didn't think I was going to be taken in from the wait list since it was already July and I assumed everyone had their plans in order for the fall. I guess it just goes to show that life can change at the drop of a hat.
YAY :D | | comments: 11 comments or Leave a comment |
| Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is 5:42 am, May 30th, I am still awake working at typing stuff and I look out my window only to see...

| So much has happened since my last post.
- I went to APICS which was the Atlantic Undergrad conference for Psychology. I gave an oral presentation on my research and it went very well. Good times were had by all who went with me and it was a load of fun. The first night we were the only ones there so we played lots of drinking games in the halls of the residence and everyone drank a lot. It was hilarious.
- Looks like I won't be going back to work with ELSS. Turns out that the taxation centre wants me back for June and July. This will mean about 50% more bling bling for me working the exact same number of hours. Since I don't benefit as much from having the apartment this year since I'm renting in the condo anyway, I think it was a good decision.
- Went out to Cville to see my brother for his 19th birthday and my mom for Mother's day. Turns out that my brother didn't like the liquor that I bought him so I took it back to the condo with me. I didn't have time to get my mom a good gift (I got her some Sambuca from the liquor store, which she does love) so I took her out to supper and woke up @ 7:45am on Mother's day to make her breakfast - which I guess is a good gift after all. This was also after I had stayed out til 4 with Michael celebrating his bday.
- I'm letting my credit cards get out of hand. Well not really...the balances are always 0 at the end of the month but I'm applying for my third credit card now when only 6 months ago I didn't own one. I have 2 now and I love them. I figure since I'm late in this whole establishing credit game, I have catching up work to do.
_ Last but certainly not least, I almost have my arm completely gnawed off while awaiting a reply from med school. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| So I just finished my final shift at the tax centre. (A 12-hour shift that went from 1:30pm until 1:30 am). Some words of advice: Don't wait until the last minute to do your taxes and then call me being pissed off yelling because you don't know what your RRSP deduction limit it. I don't deal with that and will just release your call.
I'm leaving in like 3 hours to go to Halifax. Still not quite sure about what we're doing while there or how we're getting to Sackville but I hope Rita has it all planned out.
I'll be back in town on Friday.
Tootles all

| I'm at work.
All my exams are done :)
We just wrote an exam here at work today. It was pretty good as well. I'm anxiously anticipating marks coming out for the semester. I'm also anxiously awaiting for a response from med school.
I've decided that if I get in to med school I'm going to buy myself a macbook as a reward to myself. If I don't get into med school...I'm going to buy myself a macbook to make me feel better.
I don't know if my contract is going to be extended here until June which frustrates me slightly as I may be offered full-time employment for the summer but that will prevent me from working at ELSS. Argh. I hate making decisions but I would probably work full-time at this job as opposed to ELSS just because of the bling bling.
My stomach has been killing me lately. It is not quite as bad as the virus that Diana and I suffered through earlier this semester, but it seems to be lasting longer. ugh.
Going to Psychology conference in a few days. Can't wait! | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| Friday
On Friday I worked until 10 (as per usual) and then I went to Lance's party and met up with Karla and Juanita. It was so interesting to see so many people I knew at one party. At some points I could divide my friends up into 4-year segments. There were people there that I've known since Stephenville, friends that I've had since Clarenville and friends that I made when I moved into Burke house. Bert was there and we talked about boys, i.e. he said he couldn't believe I liked them because they were all ugly. I love Bert. I was out until 4 and then crashed at Karla's. I heart Karla.
Saturday
I crawled into worrk at 9:30am. It was not an overly busy day. I ordered Chinese takeout for lunch. Probably not going to happen again...For $15 I expected a lot. Damn takeout joints. You'd be surprised how few places are open during the weekends that are not pizza. I got back my computer from Avalon Software and after paying about $180 for a new mother board and servicing it STILL doesn't work. It managed to stay open for like 10 minutes and then reset itself. I havn't been able to get it working again since. I think I'm just screwing it all and buying a new computer. I just want to be able to get my old files off of it.
I went to my dance formal last night. It was dazzling. Lesley and I have learned some new jive moves so we are smoking now. :P
I can't wait for exams to be over. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| So it's been forever since I've written a real entry. I'm at work right now working at the taxation centre. It is an awesome job, I get to listen to myself talk all day (loves) and make lots of money while doing it. I get to improve my French and I've busted my fag working at a call centre virginity.
I can't access facebook or hotmail at work but I can check my livejournal, my credit cards, and my bank account. I've also taken to starting my own virtual lemonade stand on bored.com.
I presented my honours research on Friday, Carmen and I got really good results. Almost exactly what we expected with a few nice surprises too. I am going to Moncton in May to give an oral presentation on our research - I can't wait.
My mom is trying to convince me to go to convocation but I'm not sure if I want to go because the Canadian Federation of Students General meeting is possibly going to be the same week. I would much prefer to go to Ottawa than listen to boring speeches. Am I really missing that much by not attending convocation? I'm going to be getting other degrees anyway...
So yeah, I graduate in April! I'll have a B.Sc in psyc and a B.A. in French. I'll then get to sign my name with lots of letters after it, I must say I'm looking forward to that. I'm still waiting to hear back from med school but if I don't get in, I'm gonna start my masters on Gay Newfoundland language. It should be a riot.
Well, I'm gonna write more tomorrow. I should go study biochem. The one course that's going to end up totally raping me this term.
Ouch. | | comments: 6 comments or Leave a comment |
| So life is good, lent has begun, exciting times.
I had my med school interview a few weeks ago. Now to just wait and see what happens.
But more importantly, the library now ha autofeed copiers that can copy double-sided!!!
I'm so excited! Photocopying made that much easier!
I havn't been this excited since...
I really don't know! | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| There was a little girl,
Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good,
She was very, very good,
But when she was bad, she was horrid. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| In 2007,  mochachinoslut resolves to... Keep my hair clean.
Eat more reality shows.
Become a better health.
Go to residence every Sunday.
Overcome my secret fear of languages.
Buy new empowered females.
1. I totally don't shower enough to really keep my hair clean.
2. I'd eat more reality shows if they had more FLAVOUR FLAAAAAAAAAV
3. wtf?
4. Who knows with lip sync coming up. Maybe I'll move back in just for that :P
5. I am actually scared of Chinese. scary tones.
6. I wonder how much they are going for at boxing day sales... | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| I spent Christmas evening at Jennifer's house. It was marvelous. It was a bit sad to not have certain special guests home for Christmas, notably Peter, Samantha and Matthew, but we made due. I still havn't seen Ms. Wheeler either so she better hurry up and get her ass back form St. john's. I don't care if I see her during the semester, this is Christmas in Cville time :P
Nevertheless, we all drank wine and ate cheese and my asparagus heart dip was a hit. I don't know if it was better than the crab dip from last year but it was great.
I think I've finally gotten everyone to agree with me that "All I want for Christmas is You" is the Christmas song of our generation and I beat Jennifer on a very, very quick round of MarioKart DS.
Finally crawled home @ around 5am after the most talkative cab driver in Clarenville brought me home. I woke up @ 3pm today. I might go play video games at my brother's house tonight or go to Jack's if any of my friends decide to go.
Off for more holiday fun. | | comments: 5 comments or Leave a comment |
| So it's been so long since I've updated that I don't even recognize the lj interface. A lot has been going on in my life. Since leaving residence it seems like everything is different. I find I've been spending more time with co-workers which is nice but I definitely want to make more of an effort to see my girls next semester.
I went to Ottawa for a week this semester for the Canadian Federation of Students Conference and I'm seriously considering running for an executive position on MUNSU for next year. I had some medical problems early this semester that forced me to drop my 7 courses down to a mere 5 *gasp* so I'd need a few extra courses to finish my honours anyway.
MUN gave me a $1000 random scholarship. I'm totally down with that. My marks were great too. All three of my final papers were As, so anyone who thinks that I can't write can bite me :P
I'm home for Christmas. I miss my SJ family: Diana - 'Everything must be organized Mother,' Allie - 'Crazy let's go to the washroom Aunt,' and Joel 'I'm going to sit here until someone makes a decision Father'
I'm the dependent needy tries to make people laugh son. It all works out and I wouldn't live with anyone else (until of course I find a man to marry w/ 2.2 kids)
Having said that, it is great to be home and spend time with my biological family. Decorating the tree tonight was so much fun and Michael's girlfriend April is uber cool. I feel so lucky for having such a great relationship with my family and appreciate them more than they will ever know.
Merry Christmas Eve All | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| I got 3rd place in the individual mixer crawl costume contest, the girls got first place for group costume.
I got 100 today on a written report!
Peter came down from London and we went out to eat at Pasta Plus during his visit. It was nice to see him.
I'm going to Ottawa around November 21st and hope to see Sam and Floyd. Do I have other friends in Ottawa that I've forgotten? I hope not.
I have soooo much homework to do tonight that I want to cry.
All the more reason to end this entry now.
(Yeah I know my entry content has deteriorated but if you were doing 7 courses yours would be too) | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| Yesterday was the best day ever. I woke up with a boy in my arms, had no evaluations (a rarity these days), had ballet AND got a thong body suit for my Halloween costume in the mail. :)
School is savage. Seven courses is suicide.
I still love life in the condo. Diana and I are home alone right now. Breathe in that Mercer-free air. :P I love Allie and Joel though.
I'm going to be going to Ottawa in November for the CFS general meeting. Can't wait. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
