so busy or barely busy?

I didn't get into the crazy chicken lab, but I'm still planning to graduate in June! It turned out that 40 people were on the waiting list, all of who are graduating seniors concerned that they would have to stay an extra quarter just for the advanced requirement. Due to the large number, the advisor agreed to let us substitute the lab with an extra elective class. I've heard a lot of students enrolled in lab wished they had that option. The lab is rewarding, but extremely demanding. Most of the seniors are preparing for their standardized test (a lot of my friends are taking the MCAT next week...eck), preparing for life after college, on top of school, work, internships, etc. I, along with 39 others, lucked out on the extra stress.
Even though I'm only taking 12 units, this quarter will be busy. I don't know how this thought bypassed my mind, but I need to finish a good draft of my personal statement about a month before the quarter ends. I thought I could write it during the summer while cramming for the TEAs and GRE. No. I need it done in order to ask professors LOR before they go off to who knows where come June. I'm not sure how I'm going to schedule my time because as of now, I'm not juggling studying for my standardized tests and studying for classes very efficantly. I'm aware that I spend hours doing nothing and I have no clue why I waste that time. Senioritis? I'm not allowed to have it.
This blog might be another venue for my procrastination.

Leave the Hardest for Last

If all goes as planned, this upcoming quarter will be my last at UCD. It will be my toughest. Not only because I'm taking all upper div. science courses (one of which is crazy chicken lab), but also because I have to prepare for the TEAs and GREs. I'm horrible at standardized tests; I haven't taken a math class since freshman year and no matter how much I study, my vocab doesn't improve. Not to mention, I'll have to start on apps, rallying up letters of rec, and preparing for my medical mission to South America after graduation.
Graduation....hMM...maybe I'll blog about my thoughts about this later.
Academics isn't the only thing on my mind. It's concerning a certain relationship. I'm disturbed by feeling ackward around this person and I just want a clear make or break. I know that she won't make the move. I've always been the one to give her the chance. I'm not saying that she's always the one to screw it up, but I admit that I act immature at times. I think I have a right to be frustrated at her closed mindedness though. All I want is respect. I can overlook what has happened in the past. I think I've learned that holding grudges gets you nowhere. I just don't know how to bring up this conversation though. If they're like all the others I've had with her, it'll just end up with her making up excuses, me forgiving her, and later reverting back to this odd relationship that we have now. Am I wrong to say that I'm the more mature one initiating this ever time? Or am I just stubborn and still a blind "teenager" that can't see past the greater picture? I don't think I'm making much sense anymore. Anyways, I'm debating whether I should email or talk to her in person. One thing for sure is that I want to confront her before the weekend ends.

When interviewing a patient always remember to ask....

Allergies
Medications

Surgies
History
Immunizations
Travel

If you forget any of these, you are shit to your preceptor.

on the bright side, i had fun at the clinic party :) the 2 hour commute was worth it!
