| What the heck...I'll just give a little update.
Haven't been on Xanga for several months. In my last entry, I was anxiously waiting for my final interview with Teach for America...aaaaaand, nope I didn't get it. I don't go through interviews a lot and when I do, I tend to be too much of myself. Instead of giving people what they might like to hear, I often don't refrain from telling them exactly who I am. I guess saying I work my "ass" off (which I then quickly corrected myself with "butt"), that I'm unsure whether I am emotionally stable for the job, and that I don't use planners to organize everything didn't make that great of an impression to interviewers. Oh well! I mean, I absolutely agree with TFA's mission statement about the educational gap, but in truth, I don't really think I would have been ready for the job.
So what's up with me now? Well, for one...I've graduated from college!! It has only been a month and I miss it already. I miss the campus, the professors, the dorming, and most of all, I miss my friends. Everything still feels surreal to me. I feel like I'm just doing some summer internship and when fall comes around, I'll be heading back to wonderful moho. Unfortunately, that will only be happening to my younger sister who will be starting her first year at moho.
Since I've graduated, I've moved back to Boston. Back into the city at last! I've found a job as a research assistant working for the renowned vascular surgeon Dr. Frank LoGerfo. Although I've told myself hundreds of times that I will never ever do benchtop research again because of my past experiences, I've been working for 4 weeks so far and am really satisfied. I love the lab atmosphere and the research.
Last but not least, I have also been studying for the MCAT >.< I'm taking my test in September and I'm scared as hell. I've been reviewing pretty much everyday after work for a couple of hours and this stuff is still not sinking in. If only I can shove textbooks into my head. I'm not sure how well I'll score when September rolls around, but I'm trying to maintain a positive outlook on everything. Recently, I got a fortune cookie that read "All the preparation you've done will finally be paying off." I don't care if fortune cookies aren't true, I've taped that small strip of paper to my wall and it isn't going down until I get my MCAT score back in October and get into some medical school in the near future (hopefully).
Besides that, my life isn't too exciting....work and studying. That's all folks. I probably won't be updating until I take my MCAT....later.
