Hello world!

Happy 4th of July everyone!

Just a regular update. I haven't been very good at blogging lately, mainly because I just feel uninspired to write. But I'll try to remedy that tonight.
So just to get things rolling, let us review some goings on in my life:

1. Finished Step 2 Board review sessions! Now it's just 2 more months until the big day. Again. That being said, I need to get my ass in gear like a month ago and do some more practice questions.

2. Bought my very first fishing rod and reel combo! Yay! Unfortunately nobody cared to inform me about the number 1 bane of fishing: tangled lines. So far, I've taken my gear out twice since I got it this past Saturday. And both times, I've had to untangle what seems like copious amounts of "bird nests." Yeesh. So far, only 3 fish were caught and all of them were quite tiny, the biggest being about a 6-inch smallmouth bass. Better that than nothing I suppose.

3. I dislike mosquitoes very much. Yet one more reason why I prefer the fall/winter.

4. I start my 4th year rotations tomorrow, unofficially. I signed up for 2 weeks of NICU and 2 weeks of Child Protection Program for the month of July so I could get some more experience for the August subinternships in Massachusetts (I hope). Not being graded in these first 2, hence the whole unofficial business. I start promptly at 7am. Woo. Hoo.

5. My back feels better, thank you.

6. Still on the fence about dating websites. Something about them just creeps me out and personally, I'd feel "desperate" if I were to join one of them. This is just my personal view about myself, not a generalization of those out there who are proponents of dating sites, so please save your snide remarks for some other time. Thank you.

7. I need to begin my personal statement and residency applications this week. Yikes. Kinda scary if you think about it. Just when I was just getting used to being a student all over again, now I have less than 12 months to apply for a job, get a job, and actually work...AS A DOCTOR! Growing up sucks balls.

8. Facebook depresses me. There's just too many people in there that I don't talk to or at one time have been my friends in passing and have since fallen out of touch. And then there are those people who just feel compelled to chronicle the minutes of their lives, which just drives me nuts! Perhaps it's time for an "unfriending" session. And a Settings update can't hurt either. If it weren't for the pics, I would have deleted my account a long time ago.

9. I'm going to a themed bachelor party next week. The theme: 80s. I need a costume. Something that is representative of the decade, but at the same time, easy to put together. Suggestions are welcome.

10. Musical ventilation is in order. That and a few glasses of scotch. STAT!

That's all for now. Stay classy, San Diego.

Song of the day: "When The Stars Go Blue" - The Corrs and Bono (Orig. song by Ryan Adams)

Point Form!!

1.The Corrs make me feel so old - I fell in love with them when I was 14, and that was a long time ago...

2. 80's party - there was a show called "That 80's Show" - it's on Youtube, check it out for ideas.

3. I agree with Facebook being depressing... am beginning to wonder if the only people who like it are new parents or newlyweds - damn those people and being happy

4. As to the dating sites, you know how I feel. If you do it, do it and don't take it too seriously, and if you don't, you don't. In the end I don't think there is just one person in the world for each of us... so go the route that makes you feel happy
