This goal will have to go due to a recent acquisition of a boyfriend, haha. :)

It’s about time. :)
I laid out in the grass with my friend Irene and we gossiped, looked for shapes in the clouds, and relaxed on a lazy Friday afternoon. :)

After 2 failed attempts (my friends have always agreed to take me out, but things always seemed to come up), I finally took a trip to The Yellow Rose and saw some boobies. I also saw some awkward guys seeing boobies. It was actually a lot of fun, because I just kicked back with my friends and either checked out the girls, or criticized them, haha. It was even funnier to see how awkward some of the customers were when they were getting lapdances. Some of them were thoroughly enjoying it, but the ones that were fun to watch were the ones who looked absolutely terrified. As in sitting with their back straight, hands clutching the armrests of the chairs, and looking like someone was about to hit them. It’s okay dude…they’re just boobies. On the other hand, in a strange way, visiting the strip club kind of made me feel better about myself. Because even though a lot of the strippers had bangin’ bodies (with the exception of a few chunky ones, and some that had the body of a 10 year-old), you could still see some cellulite, stretch marks, moles….all the imperfections that any other girl would have. Kinda made the girls seem a little more human and a little less like an unattainable standard. :)

I think I’ll put this goal on hold for a while. Many of my friends are experiencing complications with their relationships, and it’s reminding me what kind of a headache relationships can be. Then again, I guess it’s not love if they can’t work through their kinks. Either way, sometimes it’s pretty damn nice to be single, haha.

Officially started my second year of pharmacy school today. I still feel weird calling myself a 2nd year student, since I still feel just as dazed as confused as I did last year. I thought today my prof would just give a quick overview of the syllabus and dismiss class, being the first day of school and all….instead the prof proceeded to go straight into a 2-hour lecture about agonists, antagonists, receptors, etc. etc. So much for having that “first day” buffer. Blech.

Oh, and I got to take a big, fat exam today! It was 105 questions…and that’s just for Part 1. I’ll be taking Part 2 tomorrow, which will probably have just as many questions. I’ve already got a feeling that 2nd year is definitely not sissy stuff.

My friends and I were going to see the papal audience when we were in Rome….but we got to the Vatican in the morning and the line was RIDICULOUSLY LONG. As in it stretched out the door, around the corner, down the street, down the NEXT street, etc. etc. Needless to say, we gave up on it and came back to visit the Vatican later. :P

Just got back two days ago (I JUST missed all the craziness at the London airports, haha). 11 cities, 8 countries, 3 unforgettable weeks. :)

I always say that I’d rather get a 5-page handwritten letter than a diamond necklace, and that belief is always reinforced each time I receive a letter.

Which reminds me that I should probably write more snail mail. :P

Saw them last year in May. Sometimes I swear Matthew Bellamy is a f*ckin’ GOD. :D

Definitely worth doing! And since I’m a geek, I’ve posted mine online here.

maybe I should amend this to “learn to tango in Argentina”....how cool would that be?? :D

So after going on a 2-week vacation in China with my family, I’ve realized how much my Chinese sucks again. I speak fluently, but not fluently enough, dammit! :P

And reading and writing is futile. sigh

HOLY CRAP, I finished my first year of pharmacy school! It was quite a transition to go from making A’s and B’s to struggling to make a C, just so I can pass all of my classes. By far one of the toughest school years I’ve had to deal with, but I can definitely say that I’ve learned an amazing amount of information from it. This definitely isn’t one of those “in one ear and out the other” school experiences.

And because I did a drug monograph presentation on it, I’ll always remember what valacyclovir hydrochloride is for. ;)

holy crap, I just booked my ticket to London. So far my buddies and I plan on visiting France, Spain, Italy, and Germany. Hell, I should’ve written this under the “backpack through Europe” goal, but meh…this is the same thing. Counting the days… :)

So I’m a bitter person. This isn’t a surprise to me. But I’m just now starting to fully acknowledge this and I’m starting to realize how it can affect my relationships with other people. I can usually take a lot of shit from people around me, but I’ve come to the realization that it just takes one straw to break the camel’s back, and then I completely shut myself off from whoever’s committed the offense. As much as I’d like to say I can forgive and forget, I’m starting to think that I’m not so gracious.

Christ, why have I not done this yet in my adult life?? This must be rectified soon.

Went with some buddies to to Sky Bar…free salsa night for ladies at 8:30. Learned the basic steps, and we thought that we had it down, more or less. Then they released us to the dance floor and we all realized that we’ve got a LOT of practicing to do before we learn to do anything really cool, haha. It was still fun just to people-watch, though. :P

So I’ve got an 18-chapter exam tomorrow morning. Not cool. But dammit, I’m gonna keep on truckin’.

Houston, Toyota Center. HOLY SHIT it was an awesome show. As much as I’d love to divulge the details, it wouldn’t do the show justice.

Chris Martin, if Gwyneth goes infertile, I will have your babies.

Instead, I made anti-valentines for my friends! :)
