My very first patient.  Isn't it puuurty?  It's a small bowel contrast study.  The solid white structure on top is her stomach.  The feathery looking structure on the bottom is her small intestine.  And the grayish column in the back is her lumbar spine.  We were looking for a possible bowel obstruction, so we had the patient drink barium sulfate.  This isn't the entire picture, but it's the best I can do.  Taking this film home was highly illegal hahha and very risky, but I really wanted it, so I managed to sneak it out.

I thought I wouldn't, but I've come to like what I do.  But I still want to be more.  I don't want to stay a technologist forever.  How does that Switchfoot song go? "We were meant to live for so much more."  I want to be a healthcare practioner, so I'm thinking about physical therapy for the not so near future.

I don't believe that people (especially guys) should rely on finding that significant other to change them for the better.  I believe that if you don't like something about yourself, then you should proactively go out and change that part of yourself.  Example:  "If I had a girlfriend, it would really boost my confidence."  I think that is the loser's way out.  What girl would want a guy who is not confident anyway.  There is nothing more attractive in a person than confidence.  What happens if that girl leaves you?  Does your confidence go with her?  And the thing about nice guys.  C'mon, not all nice guys finish last.. or rather, you don't have to.  Your life is yours to control.  Hold the wheel and drive.  Mold yourself into the kind of person you want to be.  Get off your self-pitying ass.  And you don't have to be an asshole-y guy to be confident.  You don't have to treat a girl like dirt for her to love you.  And why would you want to be with a girl who tolerates being treated like dirt anyway. 

And finally, boobies... that is all.

Goodbye xanga....

again.

I am finally done... for the moment anyway. Class of 2006, Bachelor's of Science in Health Science. What's Health Science? No one knows. But I will be back for my clinical rotations in July... so I get a nice month off. It took longer than expected, but I am out of here.

These past couple of months, my mind has never been more clear. I know what I want to do in life, and I know what I was meant to do in life. Getting to that point might take a little longer though, but I'm not going to let that deter me.

Like last year, this year was filled with memorable moments. I'll never forget any of them. And I thank all of those who helped me get to where I am today.

It's me and Eun.  Yea I got chunkier during finals week cos I didn't have time to do anything, but study.  I'm never going to college again.  Dang you Freshman 15 every year.  This is the closest Eun will ever get to me and I think he's savoring the moment with his eyes closed.

Look who made a surprise visit. 

That's Ben.  He thinks he's special because of his orange collar. 

Jimbo Sandwich! And you can bet it's double the meat.... 

That's Andrew.  A few of us were chanting "B to the B to the B! B!...B to the B to the B! Go Bayside!" during the second ceremony lol... If you know where that's from, then you rock. 

That's Jibin.  He's brown, but still cool in my book.  That's Chris Todd.  Chris Todd fell out of the Awesome tree and hit every branch on the way down, and then punched Isaac Newton in the face. 

Jess and I are starting the "Dr. Button Reeks of Awesomeness" club.

Yea I don't have any idea who any of these people are.  They just decided to get into the same picture as me.  Except for Pedro.  He's the one paying homage to the Fonze.  Ayyy..! 

Track 4 was the best track.  Do the wave.

Jeff the most badass bassist in the world.  Too bad I've never heard him play.

That's me with the prettiest girl in the major.  She is beyond hot.  Flamin'... like Norman hahha.

Now it's time for a little tune for the current mood a la A Perfect Circle, titled Passive.
