| school makes me depressed 
| | |
| Examining yourselfI think a goodway to examine yourself is to look at who your friends
are. Obviously there must be some common interests or yall wouldn't be
as close enough to hang out with on a daily bases. I would like to
believe my spectrum of friends stretches from the 'non christian
school friends' to the 'churched friends'. Generally, I am closer to
people i see on a daily bases. Ever since hs, I noticed a trend
that my friends tend to change with the seasons.. It seems like every
Fall/Spring, a new group of friends walk or 'reenter' into my life and
then I get really close with them. Its like a fresh new start with new
faces and their whole lives to learn.
Best friends, now those are the kind of people that know you better
than you know yourself. They tell you the truth when the truth hurts,
they support you no matter if you didn't support them, they are slow to
anger, and share triumph when you are happy. They make you laugh and
call you every so often to say hi. They listen to you complain even if
you camplain everyday for the past year. You can be distant from them
for a long time and when yall reunite, its like you saw each other
yesterday. They don't hold grudges against you and if you wrong them,
they forgive you.
Thats alot of critiera to live up to but people like that do exist.

| It's sooo coold!!!!!!! This is an uncomfortable cold  . Maybe this is exactly what I need. Because of the weather, I got 12 hours of sleep each night this weekend  . After contemplating for quite some time, I conclude that sleep is precious. Sleep is not for the weak. In fact, its so great that I should indulge in it more often. I know that during the week I will probably average 5 hours of sleep each night so why not..
I am at work again, just cutting out little Learning Technology Center business cards to advertise our reservations webpage. Not much to do today.. or anyday. I should be writing my CMS essay but I'm not. ha
other news:
creepy and weird <--- not a good combo. this has nothing to do with the information below.
Saturday night I went to my first Coop party to celebrate with Theo who is running on the ENOUGH ballot. The house had interesting artwork and paintings on the walls. The first gust of wind that hit me was the smell of gasoline, alcohol (no drinks for me)and smoke. This two story house was the home to 31 people, UT college students I assume. I played pool and then later danced to some salsa music. all in all, the party was fun . Afterwards we went to taco C for some chips and queso..

| time for another blog already-
I am at work again. Thats all I do nowadays, sleep, eat, go to
class and work and then find the time to worry about something.. Brett
says and I agree that If I don't have something to worry about,
something is not right. I think the biggest thing on my mind right now
is my future. Pharmacy school. I talked with Minh the other day.. we
both agreed that getting into pharmacy school might be happier than my
wedding day. HA.. i am not kidding either. Pharmacy school seems like a
dream.. it doesn't seem like its something that I, Allison, could ever
achieve.
Before I proceed with my entry, I need to describe this work setting. I
am in the Bellmont LTC computer lab. 8th floor, there are no windows, I
am pretty much sitting in a cubboard. Its humid and there is no
intelligent life form other than my own. hahaha PLUS.. there is massive
constuction going on so right now there is hard core drilling.. omg. if
i worked here the whole time i would never be able to concentrate.. the
drilling is so loud.
anyways back to pharmacy school.. it really seems like something that I
can't acheive. i am deathly afraid that I won't get in.. Almost
expecting it. Its so competitive. I sound so weak right now.. haha i
hate it! But yes i am weak, i just try not to show it. I
have several meetings with advisors. I am in need of sitting down to
write down my course of action for the next year. I have certain
deadlines to meet and short term goals to reach so that overall, It
will result in ACCEPTANCE.
good thing i went to my advisor today, i am enrolled in a class i have
a credit for!!!!!!! augh.. that would have been bad if i find out that
i took this boring class and it turns out i didn't need it.
I think my biggest problem last sem. was that I set a really high goal
and everytime that I felt I was farther away from reaching it, I got
all sad and discouraged.
Wow, I know that once this is over, I am going to be glad. I know
I am kinda sacrficing stuff now.. like having a social life and going
out.. but i know that once I get this all under my belt things
wiill be alot better.
Once you get into Pharmacy school, all you have to do is PASS.. hahaha
=). Its not like you gotta get all a's to stay in pharm school.. once
you are IN you're IN. Just don't fail.. cause then you would be a
year behind. Ok the drilling is still going on and my ipod is trying to
block out the noise. Sooner or later I will become deaf. I have
to stay here till 5 p.m.=/

| I think blogging is a good way to relieve tension and stress especially
when no one is around to listen to you. Ive been quite random on when I
choose to write in my zanga and what I write about but oh well, its
convenient right now since I am at work and I don't wanna open that
PCAT book.
Today being the first day of class for the spring
'06 semester, I went to my 8 a.m. communications class located in the
communications building. Luckily I have the same class with a few
familiar faces such as Minh, Tristan, Will and Ezekial. The
plan was for me to wake up at 7:15a.m.-- 7:30a.m. being the
latest, to the sound of my 4 alarms and then to catch the FA bus so I
didn't have to walk myself all the way to Dean Keaton and Guadalupe.
Well, that plan didn't exactly work. I ended up waiting 5+ minutes for
the bus that never showed. All of a sudden I hear the tower
chiming and its 8a.m. Ha great, I was already late for my first class
of the semester. I decided to walk there which would be about another
10 minutes and then when I finally reached the building I found my
class just in time to make it for a round of introductions.
Afterwards I chilled with Minh for a while and then headed to my next class which was PE!!! Aerobic Walking
This is probably going to be my easiest class. (well DUH its PE). The
grad student instructor said all we needed was a good pair of walking
shoes and to show up to class. We would take walks to west campus,
north campus, around campus, up and down parking garages and whatever.
hahahhaa that sounds awesome. You can listen to your ipod and what
not.. sounds good so far. And! We will be out by 10:30a.m.
My next class was microbio 226T.. oh Lordy, Let me start praying now.
When Thi and I arrived, the class was already full and people were
beginning to stand around in the back because there were no open seats
available for us "late comers" to sit (even though I came at 11:01).
The professor was wearing a UT Rose Bowl Champion shirt with her
glasses down to her nose. There is an 80 person waiting list.. =/
Prereqs include haven taken or concurrent with Bio226R and Bio 126T...
I know this is going to be tough. You could just look around the room
and see all the hopeful faces intensly listening and reading the
syllabus so that they can figure out how to make an A in the class. It
was kinda scary. I saw familiar faces.. and I bet that half of the room
are pre pharm majors since this is a curcial class for the Prepharm
ppl. People from the waitlist were there, people in different sections
were there, and the registered people who are suppose to be there were
there, the room was pack. The professor told those the other people to
leave but no one got up. haha what a way to start the class =/
soooo back up earlier the syllabus said that the pre-reqs were bio 126L
and Bio 226R.. and if you didn't have them you would be dropped from
the class. I wasn't registered for those classes .. sooooooooo right
when class let out I went to the TIP office and scheduled a meeting
with John who was booked all day long so i ended up talking to madison
who ended up saving the day.
One good thing about TIP, they can get you into classes you want. =)
Madison got me into Bio 226R and the bio Lab that I needed.
Unfortunately, I have... 17 hours now that I am getting credit for..
and then work which is about another 15 hours.
I think im going to die this semester. This is the make it or break it semester. I better make it good.
