It's been a while since I've blogged. Back in the "day," I used to blog on purpose because a.) I didn't want to study, b.) I was in the fishbowl, or c.) I was mad.
Today, it's (b). As it's incredibly humid in my apartment and I didn't want to stay in tonight, I decided to join Lily at the fishbowl. It's been a while. I think fishbowl got a little cleaner? haha.
Despite having to still finish my PharmD project (thus= fishbowl), and transitioning out of a cushy UM Hospital job to the hard hours at Rite Aid, I find that there are still the little quirky things in life that get me.
Take for example,
the bus. Every day, coming out of the UM Hospital entrance, around 4:30pm, I come out of the front doors, only to find my #2 AATA Plymouth bus is already at its stop. I then mutter "sh*t!" to myself and run across 3 streets to get to the bus. I can't help it. I've left work early, late, etcera, yet EVERY SINGLE FREAKING TIME, the bus is across the street. The white haired bus driver just waits for me now, as I run across the street.
I also am so consumed in my thoughts in the morning that I don't realize that the bus is at the stop. Like, take this morning. I was fuming about a certain issue, and then, lo and behold, the bus was waiting at the stop, right for me. :P
Another issue that quirks me- why is it so hard for girls to lose weight, yet guys have no problem? As I am in 2 weddings this summer, about 3 weeks from each other, I need to get in tip top shape. Unfortunately, I like to eat. What can I say- I like food. We went to Chicago this past weekend, and we ate our hearts out- Joy Yees (bubble tea twice!), Chinatown restaurants, Garrets popcorn, Ghiradelli and Hershey stores, Buca di beppo (the tiramisu is SOOO good), and stayed in a Mariott which had an amazing breakfast. Let's just say.. I gained quite a bit of weight over the weekend. And I notice this among guys- why is it, guys can just work out a little and suddenly they're toned? Girls have to work out SO MUCH HARDER, to make even an indent on our chubby arms. Sigh.
But yes, weddings are coming soon. How crazy, yet how exciting. All I can say, is that I can't wait to wear orange in July. :)
Ah yes, back to the grind. I miss undergrad classes- the meandering around fishbowl (because obviously the social life was at fish), being in classes where people actually wanted to be competitive, etcera. I miss it a lot. I miss the people the most. It's weird walking around campus- from being always recognized to suddenly.. not. But it's okay- life goes on....

i can't wait for your brother's wedding!
and you should so update xanga more =) i don't know why everyone is transferring over to blogspot.
Haha, Rachael, you don't realize how hard some of us guys do work... But don't worry, I understand. With some guys, it really does seem unfair. I am not one of them.
