So, I have turned 22. I honestly believe, that age is just a number (for now, at least). I don't know how old I feel because I don't know what I'm supposed to feel at any given age.
I just wanted to say here how thankful I am for all the friends, family, and classmates that helped me celebrate today. You guys are so awesome!
And one last note: I got some candy from a "birthday fairy" this year. Last year, I got a box of chocolates from "Obama". How very odd. I'd like to know who this mythical creature is, please! Not Obama of course, he's not mythical. In any case, thank you!
And if I didn't get around to thanking you personally for making my birthday a better day, I'm thanking you here. Thanks, guys! :)

On 10 things I think
10. It's test day tomorrow, yet again. It seems I will be taking tests for the rest of my life.
09. Vertical Horizon's Everything You Want has got to be one of the most depressing and yet most soothing songs to listen to. Ever.
08. 10 thoughts are seriously much too few. My mind is racing, no thanks to that test.
07. Why didn't I pay more attention in MCB 130? It would probably make my life so much easier right now. Thanks a lot, undergraduate me.
06. Last night's SNL was much better than any of the others this season to date. TheRock Obama was entertaining, if not a little crass.
05. Still on last night's SNL, Shakira is one freakily flexible person. No matter how she sings, what comparisons you want to draw to Beyonce, she is an amazing dancer. Or contortionist. However you want to view it.
04. I'm so glad the Bears won yesterday, and I was there to see it. And the Yankees won last night. If only the Giants had won today, that would have been one of the most satisfying sports weekends in a while.
03. Am I supposed to be this unhappy with medical school? Or at least be this burnt out already? Should I be satisfied with just passing? Shouldn't I strive to be the best, always? I feel so un-motivated. Horrible.
02. Please don't make fun of me when I freak out. It's just what I do to get whatever it is out of my system. I will be fine and happy and normal in a few minutes.
01. Oh, this weather is just ridiculous. It's so fickle. Would it kill the sky to just give me a little rain? If it's going to be this gloomy, it might as well be pouring.

On being a horrible child
My parents are having the house remodelled. Or whatever it is they are doing to the house. My one concern is whether or not it will be done in time for Thanksgiving. Not because I'm worried about where I am to stay for those few days. Not because I'm worried about the weather and the possible myriad of problems of remodelling a house in bad weather. Not because of the financial problems that could possibly arise.
No. My worry is that my mother will not have full command over a kitchen. Because I need good food when I go home. What's more, I'm hoping that she will have had time to make me an enormous amount of food to bring back to San Diego. Yes, my concern is over whether or not I will be fed, and whether or not I will be able to bring enough food back to feed me for another few weeks.
I am a horrible child.

On a crappy week
So, Cal loses twice, I do horribly (yes, I still passed, but still horrible) on that one BHD exam, I am slightly sick, and my arm is still horribly sore from the dumb flu shot. Who needs flu shots anyway? It's been two days!
Oh, but I'm just being melodramatic, it wasn't actually that crappy. I went to shadow at a 911 dispatch call centre, which was cool, and I attended the vascular symposium today. Most of it went over my head, but it was still kind of cool.
Oh, and tomorrow I have a paramedic ride-along. For 12 hours. Yipee?
