The latest

Well it's Friday and I felt like I should waste a couple more minutes before I really start studying for my last anatomy exam. Actually, the studying started a couple days ago (which was, in all actuality, a couple days after my last exam). That's right. I started studying for my final a week and half in advance. This would never happen in undergrad. Oh those were the days. I could totally get by with studying only a day or so before the test. These days, it's honestly just been study study study. Everyday I have to study. Each one of my friends that I saw go off to grad school before me lamented to me about their first year of it. And no matter what kind of program they were in, it was definitely more work than undergrad. And now I know how they feel.

On another note. I miss California. How weird is that? I was totally fed up with that place in the six months before I had to leave it. So many things about it were driving me crazy. Not to mention, some people in particular. But now that I am on the other side of the country, I miss it. I miss the Mexican food. I miss the Asian food. I miss my Mexicans and my Asians. Dim sum, pho, carnitas, and hookah? Nowhere to be found in these parts. I miss how everything (mainly shopping) is nice and close. I miss the cool ocean breeze. I miss the ARC. I miss my friends. I miss playing outside with them. And I don't know if I'll ever go back either.

My plan right now is to head back to Washington after I'm done here. But who knows if that will happen? Things happen, plans change. California, Washington, or somewhere else. I could land anywhere. I guess right now I have to sit back and enjoy my time on the East Coast. And try to decide in a month from now whether or not I want to grow my hair out again or keep it short. Decisions, decisions. ;)
