Someone wise once said...
You have the ability to attain whatever you seek; within you is every potential you can imagine. Always aim higher than you believe you can reach. So often, you'll discover that when your talents are set free by your imagination, you can achieve any goal. If people offer their help or wisdom as you go through life, accept it gratefully. You can learn much from those who have gone before you. But never be afraid or hesitant to step off the accepted path and head off in your own direction if your heart tells you that it's the right way for you. Always believe that you will ultimately succeed at whatever you do, and never forget the value of persistance, discipline, and determination. You are meant to be whatever you dream of becoming.

My exam was yestarday and i think it went well. I don't want to really talk about it until i get my license and it's all official. my mind is still in "exam" mode so the relief hasn't hit me yet. however, i am very much enjoying this sub.

also too, i was thinking about what i wanted to do since starting Sept i won't have a university to go to...and baking classes seem really fun to me. maybe i'll take like a for interest only baking class at George brown. either that or cantonese classes. of course on the side i'll be employed, practicing my MCAT, and writing my papers to be published, but i feel like i need to be actively in school somehow. i've always been in school, i was in summer school "learning" Mandarin every year in grade school. in high school i did night school. in university i did an extra semester. you don't learn how much of your identiy is being a student until you aren't one anymore. i look back at university and only have fond memories (except the ones at the FON) when everyone is studying hard and complaining about how much there is to study. and honestly, bitching to each other about how ridiculous it is for them to expect us to know all this material (ok this part i had at the FON). we bitch and bitch but we know we are there for a reason. how great is it to be a student? - studying into the wee hours of the night, eating dinner in the middle of the night, waking up in the middle of the day, hanging out with friends who are going through the same shit you are, abusing your body with copious doses of caffeine, pulling all-nighters (true all nighters - when you are finishing a paper by 8am that u have to hand in by 9am), and getting through it all alive. some of the best memories i have of my youth include studying hard with friends. i brace myself to prepare for the 7-7 or 11-11 ral world...i'm such a nerd.

This trip is going to be so nice. what a gorgeous place with great reviews. i'll see you there.
these past few weeks have been pretty busy with the ER. i have seen into the lives of too many people. it is always the saddest shit that happens to the most innocent people. shift after shift, it builds up until it becomes overwhleming...but you can't show weakness or tears in the ER, so i brought it home and cried in the shower. after that shift i just broke down and sobbed my eyes out. i wept and mourned until i was gasping for air while in the back of my mind i knew that there was more patients to come.
Date: May 15, 2006 after a month in the ER i have seen a lot of things...along the way i have learned a few things from my patients:

Date: Mar 14, 2006 i've underestimated this first-author research project. it's quite a bit of work. lol. however it's not THAT bad. it's pretty fun actually. i'm so diorganized in my work space with 40 open articles all over my desk. to solve this problem i went to a computer course for this program that will electronically organize all your info, make your bibliography, automatically change the entire formatting of your article to match any journal, embed articles and save every article you come across - all at the SAME time. it's sick. anyways, now that i will be organized... U of T ethics board will be tackled ....sometime this year.

as a a future healthcare pro-fess-ion-al, i'm going to start fulfilling my duties as a health promotor...right now. so here are some commonly asked questions that you should ask, but most of us don't b/c we are embarrassed or whatever. MDs and RNs see way more stuff and have done a lot more grosser stuff than you asking about something like flatulence. i've added my comments below. Q #1. This is really embarrassing, but I suffer from constipation and gas a lot. Is that a sign of something serious or should I just try to live with it?
Q #2. I don’t enjoy sex very much because I often experience discomfort. Is there anything a doctor can do for this?
Q #3. Can stress cause body odor?
Q #4. My boyfriend and I have been sexually active for about two months. I really enjoy sex in the missionary position, but every time we have tried the female superior position I start to experience pain. Could you please tell me why?
Q #5. I was reading a passage about oral sex in a women's medical book, and it warned men not to blow into the vagina during cunnilingus, as it would cause embolism and possibly death. I would think that there would be an inherent danger of embolism during cunnilingus, because of the heavy breathing. Am I wrong?

a lot of books eh? oh how i miss reading for pleasure! my idea of a perfect afternoon is sitting in bed, with blankets, drinking my Chai tea and being compeltely engaged a good book (or replace the book with a good DVD). i love to lounge. i wish i had more time to do so...but this break i will make sure that i have time. hopefully i can read a bunch of those aforementioned books. if you read the descriptions they sounds pretty interesting don't they?

i hope everyone is doing just as well. i DO have an exam worth 50% on Monday to study for, but i put in 7 hours today at the library so 3 or 4 more days like today should prep me enough. i'm really happy that all my work is finally paying off. this feeling of everything going right is so rewarding. it reminds me what i'm made of and what i'm capable of. this semester has been an awesome learning experience. next week is my last week of school!

speaking of Wentworth miller: Wentworth says, "I'm kind of a dork. I don't have much game. I'm not particularly comfortable in bars or clubs. I much prefer being home playing Scrabble, having dinner with a couple friends, going to see a movie, or losing a whole weekend to Season 14 of Law and Order or The Simpsons." sighs. oh Wentworth. did u know that he is part African-American, Jamaican, English, German, French, Dutch, Syrian, and Lebanese. He went to Princeton, and graduated with a degree in English Lit. He traveled the world with the school's a capella group. Wentworth loves to read. He says, "A great book provides escapism for me. The artistry and the creativity in a story are better than any drugs." is there anything hotter than a smart guy? sighs. so dreamy.

Date: Oct 28, 2005 george clooney was just on Oprah. hahaha he's hilarious and oh so handsome. i always liked him, but now i just like him that much more.
oh i have this funny story. So about 20-25 of my youngest brother's friends come over to my house every day after school. i have to ask my brother sth, so i step into his room with all his friends. i notice that there is a Ms. Field's bag that has some chocolate fudge in it. one of the 13 year old boys offers me some awesome fudge:
at that time, my other brother and his gf were comming up the stairs and catches wind of the conversation, and they start laughing hysterically. so the 3 of us, are standing outside of this room, full of 13 year olds who don't knwo what we are laughing at. my brother is like "oh my god Gee-Gee [sister in chinese], you're 21!", in between laughs. to which i say "so worth it!!

A young couple with a box of condoms proceeded to burn some rubber.
joke 3:
An amish woman and her daughter were riding in an old buggy one cold blustery day. The daughter said to her mother, "My hands are freezing cold." the mother replied "Put them between your legs. Your body heat will warm them up." The daughter did and her hands warmed up.
joke 4:
A man boards an airplane and takes his seat. As he settles in, he glances up and sees a very beautiful woman boarding the plane. He soon realizes she is heading straight towards his seat, and a wave of nervous anticipation washes over him. Lo and behold, she takes the seat right beside his. Eager to strike up a conversation, he blurts out, “Business trip or vacation?”
hahaha. enjoy your turkey everyone!

my killer hot sauce is at 600,000 Scoville units and 19 on Uncle Big's Official Chili Heat Scale. on a different note, i found something last night that effected me much more than i thought it could have. isn't it funny an one item can make a person relive moments of extreme sadness...things that we thought were behind us, but really they have always been there.
this was a long entry.

clikc here to hear Kanye's Speech on a live aired Hurricane Relief concert/special that featured actors and musicians. this was broadcasted on NBC, MSNBC, CNBC and Pax. Kanye West had a lot to say on the subject of Hurricane relief and on GWB himself ... and since the show was aired live he was able to say many of the things that were on his mind. he's obviously a bit nervous in the clip, sicne he is totally disregarding whatever was on the prompter, so i'm sure his message was not as eloquately delivered as he would have liked, but still, kanye is the fucking man. this killed me.

Date: July 19, 2005 i don't know what's wrong with me. lately, i've been feeling pretty alone and isolated, i guess...i don't even know why. this feeling combined with the sluggish-fat feeling of not hitting the gym to work-out in 10 days, makes me feel like an indifferent fat blob of a human being. make that 11 days. there is so much more that i want to see. i feel like i'm wasting my time, day in and day out. sighs. many nights i've asked myself "did you live today like it was you last?" and consistantly the answer has been "no". i'm doing something wrong, but i'm completely lost on how to go about fixing this...problem.
i'm tired of this.

Date: May 22 2005 guilty pleasures: procrastination. playing puzzle express on msn games. playing spider solitare on windows. watching music videos on mtv.com. eating a large bag of chips. Indulging in ice cream at midnight. Sleeping in almost everyday. Bringing outside food into the theatres. Staying in my pj's for the entire day. Never paying my phone bill on time. Humming very loudly in the shower. Conditioning my hair twice. Playing the same song over and over until I get sick of it. looking at old pictures of us from the beginning. trying on different combinations of clothes. McDonald's breakfast with 2 hashbrowns and a tea. staring off into space when you have a major assignment due.
