Future!

I was just looking up forensic toxicology grad programs…I found a program at George Washington University in DC and one in Florida.

I think when the time comes, I’ll do the DC one.  The Florida one is online and I think hands-on/in class learning would be better and look better when I apply for a job.  I’m excited!  The first step is getting into UC Davis though so I hope that even happens! 

Besides that..Me and some friends went to a club in Sac last night.  It was 18+ and I kinda thought it would be lame because of that but it was really fun.  The place was pretty cool too.  I don’t really feel like doing anything tonight because I’m really tired still ahha I even took a nap!  I’ll probably just work on some homework.

School has been good so far.  I think I can handle this 17 unit thing as long as I stay focused.  I think math will be the hardest class for me since I took pre-cal 3 semesters ago; it’s a bit hazy.  Anyway, time to eat something AGAIN.  I’ve been hungry all day!  Maybe I’ll just have some cereal.

Back to school.

Today was my first day back!  It went pretty well.  I almost didn’t find my math class because the door isn’t connected to the inside hallway ahha.  I need to brush up on trig stuff.  BUT.  I realllly like my molecular biology class so far!!  My teacher is sooo full of knowledge.  He doesn’t make it seem like a normal class; he makes it seem like we are going to be learning useful skills in lab that can be applied to an actual job, and we are entering one of the fastest growing fields!  We even isolated our own DNA today and put it in a necklace!  Anyway, HW time.  I want to try to make at least 5 mins for blogging everyday.  Bye!

Hace frio!

I was actually productive today!  I drove up to the mall and went to Barnes & Noble and got this Spanish-learning set; it has cds, a booklet and a dictionary (I already have one though).  I want to start getting some languages down; it really sucks when there is a language barrier between people.  I figured I’d start with Spanish since I took 3 years of it in high school and have the basics down; I just need a refresher for the easy stuff.  It would really help if I had someone to talk to though; everyone I know personally can only speak English.  Boo.  I know my mom wants to learn too so maybe I can talk to her.

I also bought a book on how to speak Russian which I think will be relatively harder since it isn’t based on the Latin alphabet.  I also bought a calendar!  Of wild cats!  Can’t go wrong with cheetahs, leopards, lions or tigers.  May is a leopard; although I would have preferred a cheetah. 

I’m not really looking forward to school just yet; I have 2 weeks left of break still though.  Well I’m gonna wait for my food to digest and then I’m gonna stretch for the day!

Alegria.

I have been in such a funk lately.  Yelling and cussing all the time.  I’m not really sure what’s up.  It might be just because we moved and there’s still a bunch of boxes and paint stuff all over the place and I am just over it?  Maybe I should go out tomorrow.  Where?  Dunno.  I’ll go for a walk if it isn’t raining.

I’ve been listening to Muse a lot lately; I got my brother a CD for Christmas and my mom got me a different one so it worked out pretty well haha.  I especially love this song: Muse – I Belong To You / Mon Cœur S’ouvr

Anyway, Alegria is the Spanish word for ‘joy’.  It’s what I wish I would feel.  I should feel nothing but gratitude for my life and how it has unfolded.  But I feel nothing but anger and sadness.  Hopefully this will pass.  Alegria is also the name of a Cirque du Soleil show, and one of my favorite Cirque songs..just had to throw that out there.

Hopefully I will get out of this funk soon…I can’t be like this when school starts because then it is all about business.  I’m striving for a 4.0 again but I just want to do my best because why try if I don’t?  I WILL BE VICTOROUS! :D  

Hmm..it’s getting kind of late.  This is probably the latest I’ve stayed up all break!  Hopefully I won’t wake up until like 10 tomorrow because I haven’t been able to sleep in.  I’m thinking oatmeal tomorrow…or maybe just cereal.  And a banana.  Yes!
