what a great thanksgiving break. albeit wayyyy too short for yours truly. my flight was on sunday night and it was right back to the grind that is medical school. on a brighter note, this is the LAST week of neuro!!! whoo hoo yippee hooray! by this time next week, we will be in the third day of endocrine... which is supposedly cake compared to neuro.

but anyhoo, had a great time in houston this past weekend and was able to see many familiar faces, especially my parents, relatives, close friends, and sisters. also got to share something cool with jade, who was also in town from san diego. we were supposed to do this 2 years ago on our birthdays and since we were both in town this time around, decided to go get another tattoo together like we planned. although the odds were against us, it was still made possible  will never forget it. (jade being totally freaked out about the possible pain while i was trying to reassure her since i went first and being a tad nervous myself) but in the end, we both kinda liked the pain hahaha i know! its true what they say... it really does become a sort of fetish.

not enough time was spent with my parents, although i will be able to spend quality family time with mom, dad, and chris in barcelona this christmas!! whoo hoo i am soooo excited, especially since my brother tells me about all the fun he's having in europe, how he visits a different country every weekend, how he saw leonardo dicaprio walk the red carpet in rome, and saw jake gyllenhal in a thai restaurant in berlin. soooo jealous! he's having the time of his life while im stuck in a cubicle most of the time and vicariously living a social life through the world wide web.

andrew spent thanksgiving with us which was great. it's nice that we still keep in touch. after all, he IS my backup in case we both dont get married within the next 10 years. haha jk.... ??

and lastly, i was wearing a tank top yesterday and some pple were wearing flip flops and yet today like RIGHT NOW... IT'S FRICKIN SNOWING OUTSIDE!!!! UNBELIEVABLE.... AND LEAVE IT TO TCOM TO STILL CONDUCT CLASSES AND MAKE US COME UP TO SCHOOL EVEN THOUGH THERE'S CRAZY SLEET AND SNOW OUTSIDE.

OKAY EVERYONE. THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE ME, I WILL BE DONE WITH MY FIRST SEMESTER OF MED SCHOOL!!! WHOO HOO!!! SEE YOU ALL AFTER CHRISTMAS!! TAKE CARE.
