Looks like I’ll be moving my blog… So now I have to save all the files Now I just have to figure out how to do that…

Lately, I’ve been reading a lot of shoujo manga, just trying to find good stories, but sometimes it’s hard to come across something unique and well-written (especially among shoujo manga), and finding a truly funny is one hard to come by. But everyone has different standards of humor, and I found that I have a peculiar taste of humor (I don’t think Family Guy is funny). I guess subtle humor about ordinary things is just my thing. And the strange thing about mangas is that I can never remember the names of the mangas I’ve read unless I really like it. So it seems I truly like Gakuen Ouji cause that’s the only one I can think of off of the top of my head.

As for dramas, I watched “A Bride for a Ride” (and I’ve always hated TVB English titles cause it’s nothing like the Chinese title for some reason), which I thought was hilarious. And the fact that Sammul Chan looks good as a man and woman makes me jealous (I don’t look good as a girl and I am one!). But overall, the story was interesting but in the end, I just like the random humor.

What have I been doing these days? Thinking about life~ Ugh.

I’m on summer break! Nothing new really happened… cept I graduated (but not really). I applied for the dual BE/MS Biomedical Engineering program so I’m in school for one more year, and they decided to hold my BE degree hostage! So I am not a graduate yet….

Last Tuesday, I went to Six Flags~ It was great! Met up with my friends, rode El Toro, a water ride, Scream Machine (my head was hitting the sides >.>) and then I got sick! Woot! So then we let the park to go to nearby outlet stores and my friend bought her whole family gifts, and I just window shopped

I stared volunteering this Wed… I need some time to get used to it. I’m in the emergency room so I don’t want to be in anyone’s way or mess things up. And sometimes, I don’t know what to say to people, but I figured I should learn it now and not later.

So summer so far~ I played some Maple, but I also took time to do some other hobbies that don’t turn my brain into mush, like reading and drawing. I also tried to revise my personal statement so I can reapply to medical school. So now I got a whole summer to look forward to and then some more schooling~

The title says it all. It’s May 15, 2010 and I’m alive. And I feel pretty good about life at the moment. Lots of things have happened since I last blogged. Maybe I should explain in a timeline with smiley ratings?

May 15: Deadline for students to choose medical schools

So as you can see, it was all academic stuff, with some fun events somewhere in the middle. But I’m glad I didn’t post during the pat two months cause I’ve been extremely moody about medical school and the uncertainty about if I was going or not. Being on the waitlist is like a limbo that drives people insane. Whenever people asked me “Are you graduating?” I have to give them a weird answer, BECAUSE, I decided to do the 5-year masters program for BME if I didnt’ get into medical school. So basically next year, I am going to be a masters student while reapplying to medical school, but for the longest time, I couldn’t really handle knowing that I was going to stay at this school for another year. I just wanted to go to Buffalo and just be happy. But now I’ve come to terms with it, and now that I spoke to a pre-med advisor, I feel better about reapplying cause now I can do all the right things. For starters, I will apply early… (Yea I applied in September, how procrastination bit me in the ass) Also, I think I would really like to go to Buffalo, although I should do more research, and apply for early decision program. I only toured Downstate and Buffalo and I think I like the atmosphere of Buffalo more.

Also, I will definitely apply to more schools =.= I think my dream school atm is U of Mich, just because I wanted to go there as an undergrad and I kind of regretted not going However, my MCAT is only average. Actually, it is the weakest part of the application (the interviewer told me so) but I don’t think I will retake it because it is decent and if I don’t do substantially better, then it will only hurt me, so I rather not risk it.

At this point in my life, I’ve been feeling that I’m not a cultured person, but I started reading. Books. Yea. Lol, well after taking my English course, it made me like reading books I think my professor chose the right books and she definitely integrated them into the course’s theme well. It was good inspiration and hopefully I keep up with it.

I’m still gaming, but not as much, but maybe I would say I’m more efficient at gaming?

Another hobby I want to revisit is drawing, but I want to teach myself different techniques and approaches than the stuff I’m originally used to. I don’t want to get stuck doing the same old thing and I won’t growth that way.

I will be more aggressive with job hunting for the summer! I’m looking into a health clinic and just trying to go for a summer job as a clerk or something. Hell, if they say no, I will volunteer! I want more experience to help me in the healthcare field.

I will walk my dog. Everyday. And lose weight.

Lol, somehow, this turned into a to-do list for the summer :O But all of this basically stemmed out of hoping to get into medical school. In some weird phase of desperation, I was praying to whoever, God or my ancestors (mostly my ancestors) about getting into medical school this year. I promised that I would volunteer this summer if I get in, but now I’m just going to do it because it just feels nice to give back. And I just like helping people out.

Soooo I’m just trying to improve myself as a decent member of society. Let’s see how it goes~~

Ugh, I’m such a bad blogger. I’ve been busy with school

Rawr, I’ll post about my anxieties later.
