So one of our friends told us that we should write a blog while we're on the road to Montana. So here's the link! http://www.adondeestamos.blogspot.com/ There's just one post for now, but more to come!
Other than that, just been working my ass off, not really doing much else. It's nice here as of late. I've been able to jog outside with the dog, which we both appreciated very much.
I'm totally exhausted. I'll try to post something more substantial on Friday.

| Etiquette and safety |

So I'm selling a computer for the first time on craigslist and someone is interested in taking a look at it. In terms of etiquette and safety, how do people normally go about this thing? If I'm going to be home alone, should I meet the person elsewhere? Or should I make sure a friend is with me (ahem, Graham) to ensure this guy isn't going to murder me or tie me up and take my shit? Am I being a paranoid New Yorker?
Advice, please!

| Super Tuesday! |

Well, I opted not to stay up and watch who won Super Tuesday because I was exhausted and had to go to work in the morning. Funny thing is, there was a frikkin' tie. Because the percentages of votes between Obama and Clinton were so close together, they ended up splitting delegates in almost every state, aside from Kansas, Illinois and Arkansas. Talk about disappointing. I was really excited to know who was going to win the party nomination today.
On a brighter note, that means that the votes in those other states, like Vermont, Maine and Texas, will actually have a big impact on who the Democratic party will nominate. I'm excited to vote on March 4th. Everyone else should too!

Hey, I'm going to visit NYC the weekend of the 23rd. Who wants to hang out? Maybe we can hang out at Grassroots on Sunday and relive old times. Or... we can go eat good Indian food somewhere. Comment if you want to hang!

Not sure if I told all of you that I was getting a dog. But yes, she is here now with me. Her name is Willow and she's a daschund/chihuahua mix and she's really small and cute. We're having a challenging time potty training her (it's harder than with the cat) but we'll manage. The cat, Moxie, chases Willow around the house. It's pretty funny, actually. Anyhow, ( here are some pics. )
School starts next week and I'm pretty excited. Other than that, nothing new. Just thought I'd show you the pics.

Immortal - Where Dark and Life Don't Differ |
] |
I forgetting to eat because I'm not at work and I don't have a set schedule, how odd.
Anyhow, I've resolved to have at least a rough draft of my med school personal statement written by the end of the day, along with finishing studying the physics for the MCAT and starting on General Chem. So the whole thing for writing the personal statement is "Why do you want to be a doctor?" Apparently you're suppose to write about your life and all the things that influenced you decision to go to med school. So I started in a chronological fashion and, man, is it depressing. They want me to narrow down all the things that make me who I am in 5300 characters. I've got over 8000 and I'm not even near a conclusion. Looking at things in this retrospective manner is making me realize how much my life sucked. This personal statement is going to take a lot of work.
I finally made a hair appointment at O'Brien's for Saturday. I think I'm going to cut my hair a little shorter than shoulder length, just because of all the lengths I think that one suites me the best. I've started working out consistently after work and plan on doing it during the school year, even if it's just for half an hour as a study break. Exercising makes me feel good and makes me not want to break shit quite as much.
Anyhow, back to studying. Hope you are all enjoying the New Year.

So I got an A in Bio and an A- in Organic Chem this semester. Woohoo! All that hard work paid off, didn't it? I'm pretty fucking psyched. Now all I have to do is work on my personal statement and ask for recommendations, oh, and study for MCATs over the break and I'll be all set. Next semester I want an A in Organic instead of an A-.
Today is going to blow because I'm working at Borders for the good part of the evening. After I get out at 7pm, I have to hang out with Mike and his retard girlfriend, Jordan. I will have to suffer through dinner with both of them and find things to talk about, then go have drinks with friends. Graham, do you want to meet at the O.P. at like 9pm? Or is that too late? Does Em work this weekend? Anyway, then those jerkos are sleeping over and Ross is going to help them move in to their apartment in Montpelier. Good, then I can spend the day cleaning up the most those fuckers made while they were here. Great fun.
Things are steady for now. I have a ton of stuff to do to prepare for applying to Med School, but it's better than being bored, huh?

Mozilla Firefox has again betrayed me. I downloaded it and had no problems with it for months, and now it's deleted all of my favorite places. Luckily, I have most of them stored on my internet explorer. Has anyone else had this problem? It's so damned irritating because I love using Mozilla, but I don't want to have to re-program all my favorite places every few months.

Ross talking about Anchorage |

Hey, just letting you know what's going on before I have to go to homework.
The OR Assistant job is going well. I get to see tons of cool stuff going on with the surgeons and nurses and such, sometimes I get to watch some of an operation, most of the time just running around, grabbing patients, prepping them and helping put them under. It's fucking sweet. A lot of the people I work with are also pre-med, but most of them are completely immature which irritates me. Anyway, I'm only there part-time so it works out that I don't really have to see many people that I don't like.
Schools already nuts. Tons of homework, but I have labor day off to compensate. I'm working my ass off in Organic Chemistry and hoping I redeem myself this year with an A in both Orgo and Bio. We'll see.
Love you and miss you all.

So I've started doing Pilates again so that I can get a "lean, toned appearance" for the summer time. Not because I want to wear a bikini and go to the beach, but because all of my shirts are tight and my flabby midsection does not go well with them. I forced Ross to go out on a run with me, too, which was fun, even though I couldn't even run a quarter of a mile without crying, coughing and spitting. Yup, I need to get in shape. One more month of grueling school and then summer, summer time is here! YAY.

I've pretty much been dead to the world since I got back from Maine, mostly because the amount of homework I had to do when I got back was positively insane. Now, since Ross had to get up at six to go take an 8 hour long practice MCAT, I got up too. Now, I'm doing homework and cleaning, recording music onto my computer, but it's 9am and I'm already bored. This day is going to suuuuuck.

Weather Forecast from Weather.com: Burlington, VT
It will be raining forever and ever, so don't even bother checking the website anymore. Oh, learn how to swim as quickly as possible, too, just in case.

You know that scene in A League of Their Own where Tom Hanks goes to pee in the ladies locker room and he's peeing for like two full minutes?
That was totally me today after going to the bar with Stephen.
I love that guy.

Every once in a while, I wake up in the morning and I say to myself, "Today is the day I'm going to use the straightening iron on my hair and it's going to look fabulous." Well, I either don't do it or start it and then get tired and bored and stop midway through. I wish I had the discipline to make my hair look fabulous. Instead, I'll just live with mediocre hair.
Back to work today, but I finished painting my room this weekend which makes me super happy. I had just enough paint to finish the last of the walls and trim. Next weekend, sanding and staining the door and then possibly starting on the calligraphy, though I'm nervous it's not going to look as nice as I want it to look. Oh well.

You know those moments when you meet people and you feel like you've known them your whole life and you really have no idea how you lived you life without them for so long?
Yeah, I didn't meet anyone like that at the concert but it still rocked MASSIVE HEADS! Oh man, Emily and I were rocking out, chatting with tons of people and just fucking banging and dancing to the coolest metal ensemble I've seen in ages. The first band, The Haunted, was amazing. We got to meet the lead singer after the show because he was selling his own merchandise, haha! But yeah, they would all do this kick ass synchronized head banging while they sang which gave Emily a boner (in her own words) and made me squeal in that very un-metal way. The second band blew, because they should really have just been a goth band. Their music was very bland and their headbanging sub-par. The other bands were all fucking hot. The Black Dahlia Murder's lead singer is a giant dork with glasses and I love him. I love metal heads with dorky glasses and band shirts. Then, of course, Arch Fuckin' Enemy with their hot hot lady lead singer who belts and growls better than any dude out there. They did and encore in which Emily and I went wild.
Now, it's my day off and it's pouring rain. I was suppose to go to the hardware store to start painting my apartment, but I don't know if I'm going to risk the two blocks and get my feet wet. Fuck discomfort, I'm going to go eat my tastey omlette and watch a flick!
