One month down

Greetings from biochem/physio/histo/OMM/genetics land...

Ok. It's been over a month since I last set finger to keyboard on this biznach. So let me recap what's happened so far...

August was a whirl. Literally. First week of med school was all about being social, i.e. know your classmates and know your upperclassmen, which was great! Lots of parties, food, and new people, seksi people as one of my good buddies would say. It was information overload. But it was fun. After the honeymoon, the real thing begins...classes at 8/9am and it feels like we never get out because it's a constant study thing lest ye be left back. We had our first quizzes in biochem and physio which was ridunculous...they counted as much 20% of our whole grade, so everybody and their mother was scrambling and bogarting every nook and cranny of the library. I finally got fed up and holed up in my living room. Needless to say I passed both quizzes. Used to be that I'd settle for nothing short of an "A." Shows you how much I've changed my standards...it's like what they say here... pass = Doctor. I'll take that to the bank.

Ok, now for the juicy tidbits. Well, it turns out that the girl I liked during the summer was already spoken for...so that was done and over with quickly. Moving on. This time, another girl has made it to my radar and I was locked in like a missile...ok, bad weapon analogy. For a while I thought that I had a good read on her, then all of the sudden, she was beginning to gravitate towards another person I know (let us call him Mr. A). I thought, "no big deal." But now she seems to be more interested in him. And now I'm left twiddling my thumbs...did I miss something here? Here I am trying to build something w/ her and all of the sudden she's going to him. And to top it off, my efforts at getting her attention are going unnoticed (not even a thank you instant message for my good deeds). Perhaps I'm trying too much. Perhaps she's just a thankless person and not at all interested. It would do me a world of good if I could just forget about her and move on, but like Big Pun said "I'm not a player, I just crush a lot." And it's hard to get over this one.

So that's all for now. Sorry about the generalities. Hopefully things turn up and I'll have more interesting stuff to write.
