I also hate thinking about what to wear on the plane.
April 2012
I think I did pretty good with my packing this time. Usually I pack way too much clothes, but this time I didn’t! I have plenty of space left to buy lots of things.
Proud of myself.
Okay, so it wasn't that bad.
The exam was decent, and I think it actually went okay… but who knows! I’m just glad I’m done! Woohoo! Now time to take a nice long shower, watch tv, and go to bed. Off to hong kong in 3 days!
This is the worst course I've ever taken.
Why do they make us take a course about membranes… WHYYYY.
I think I’ll die in the middle of the exam tomorrow night. Totally not being dramatic here.
I haven't been sleeping well
Since probably friday night. Francis slept over on friday night, and he would not stop snoring, and sometimes it keeps me up, and other times I’m able to fall right asleep. I think it just depends on my mood, but I’ve been super stressed lately because of all these things I have left to do before I head off to Hong Kong next week.
I just need to get through this week of exams, then move out into my room for next year on the 22nd, and finish writing up things for my thesis (this is probably causing me the most stress).
Then I promise myself that when I’m in Hong Kong I will enjoy every minute of this well deserved vacation and I will not think about any stress related things. I think I owe that to myself.
ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT RIGHT NOW IS GOING TO HONG KONG AND EATING ALL THE FOOD AND GOING SHOPPING AND SPENDING TIME WITH FRANCIS.
I guess thats kinda bad since my first exam is tonight. And another on thursday, and finally last one on friday.
STOP THINKING ABOUT IT STEPH. FOCUS.
I guess I just don't know who I would be if I hadn't met him so early in my life.
Although people tell me that I am missing out on “experiences” of being single, I’m forever grateful for my boyfriend. He is truly one of the most amazing human beings I’ve come across thus far in my life.
Don't work. Be hated. Love someone.
I think you guys should really read this. Something inspiring, and definitely worth reading for the people graduating this year (and even for those who are not).
:)
Lomography?
They seem to have really cool cameras at a decent price, so I’m kind of excited to get started. I always loved taking pictures, but sort of stopped pursuing after I got into university, which is kind of sad.
Suggestions for a good starter? I know some people using the holga, but I have no idea where to actually get started, so suggestions or any help is welcomed :)
Today has been a good day.
Even though I have three exams next week, and I might not make it out alive, but right now, I feel full of motivation and energy.
I hope the rest of the summer is just like this :)
Sometimes I get so anxious and I just can’t make it go away.
It's taking everything in me
To get dressed and get out of the house to go running with my friend, but I know I won’t regret this later. I’ll take this as a study break. BAM. Laziness to productiveness. Negative turned positive.

People always ask me what I want to do after graduation. I mean, biology is something that you only major in if you have a clear path in mind, right? Med school, dental school, pharmacy, research. But honestly, I don’t have a clear path in mind. I can’t really picture myself in 10 years.
I think a lot of people need this burning desire to reach a certain goal. They need the future as motivation. But I just don’t. Why do I bust my butt in school everyday? Because I want to. Right now, I want to do well in school and learn as much as possible. I don’t really care about a year from now, 5 years from now, 10 years from now. Because I don’t have that. All I have is right now.
A lot of people forget that. They think, I want to do such-and-such as my profession so I’ll major in so-and-so, even though I hate so-and-so. They make themselves miserable now, hoping that someday there will be a payoff. But if someday ever even happens, it usually doesn’t get better. If you sow misery now, do you really think you’re going to reap happiness later? You can’t plant squash and grow apples.
Tomorrow is a continuation of today. Stop waiting for things to get better. Stop saying “Things will be different when I graduate.” “Things will be different when I find a boyfriend.” “Things will be different if I get this job.” “Things will be different when I have kids.” They won’t. Wherever you go, there you are.
So don’t worry about tomorrow. It has enough trouble for itself. Just live today, and live it in a way that makes you genuinely happy. Live with love. I promise you can’t fail.
Oh yeah
Hong Kong bound in 24 days! I am so excited!!!!
I really really realllly did not want to go to the gym today
But I did anyway, and I feel great about it :) Looking forward to my workout tomorrow, and wednesday, and tonights yoga before bed!
I had a bad stint where I stopped working out after winter break (stomach flu, being sick, then just being lazy), but its okay because I’m doing something about it now. So if thats ever happened to you, don’t feel bad, it happens to the best of us. Just pick yourself up and start doing something active and get into it again!
