Teddy gets hit by a car...

Early this morning when my mom was going out for a walk with Teddy (our mixed breed dog) without a leash, Teddy was hit by a car. He had jumped out into on coming traffic. He eventually limped his way back home bloodied and injured. We waited a little while and took him to the local vet. Good thing that his leg wasn't broken. He just had to get a few stitches in 3 of his legs. He came home this afternoon from the vet in low spirits. It might just be the drugs they gave him. He's expressionless and all he does is lay around. I hope he's going to get better soon...

It was a hectic morning dealing with all that. I spoke with Jodi (my premed advisor) about the activities that I would like to sell to the admissions committees all across the country. She also contacted Pitt to see if I am not too late to link... I probably am too late, plus I dont even make the GPA cut off. We'll see what happens. I really need to get caught up with all the school readings. Wednesday was the Bio midterm. Last of the semester. I am very happy about that. There are only two more midterms coming up. One a week from monday and another wednesday after thanskgiving... Finals won't be fun either. But I see the light at the end of the tunnel for this semester. I look forward to lots of studying during the winter break and next semester... We'll see how I do.

picking up again

It's been 7 months since my last post and lots have happened. My big road trip happened in May and started school in June. The 2 months of chemistry was doable and I did very well. August was uneventful and I started back at school full time in September. Physics, Organic Chemistry and Biology all with labs. It's been tough but very manageable. More than half way through the semester and I'm acing most of my classes (via grace of God). I am studying for the bio exam right now. It's on wednesday but I am having a hard time getting motivated for it. I really want to keep up with this. I think it's great to keep track of my thoughts like this. Even if the post is short, it is definitely worth while. Reading back on even the three entries brought back alot of memories. And I dont think I am very good at keeping track of my thoughts and memories... This will help alot. I think espcially since I started shadowing a doctor at the City of Hope cancer center. I am supposed to keep a log of the patients that I see and what I learned. This is definitely something that could help out with that.

I realize I am not very good at keeping these blogs or journal... so let's just hope that I keep up.
