whoa!

Today during shadowing, there was this guy with a huge gash on his leg. Now, that's not a new thing, but he looked pretty young, so I looked up his information on the computer. He was younger than me! (by a couple of months). I felt a little old. Also, he had been smoking for 10 years.

That means he was smoking when he was 9.
NINE.
1/2 a pack a day.
Down the drain. up in smoke. Whatever you want to call it.

Made me feel old. and healthy. Also, he was not in college. Teenagers who are working for a living and not in college tend to have tattoos and smoke. That is my prejudiced banter for today.

The drug reps came yesterday (to sell some product to the doctor). You know what this means. Yes. That's right folks. Free food. Not only "food", free MEAL.

Well not just any meal. GOOD MEAL. It keeps getting better, huh? See, there are only about 8-9 people working there, but the drug people brought food for 20 people. TWENTY.

So after I got the first share, the doctor was like "Have some more!". I was like... もちろ！。

I had like huge pieces of turkey, potato salad, peach cobbler, cole slaw, iced tea. so awesome. And today, I had a million doughnuts. Wah. I think I've had only 2 meals at home over the last two days.


On another note, I was talking to this girl and suddenly she said "daisuke". Of course, it too me a little while to realize she was otaku. Because all the otakus say daisuke instead of daisuki. I proceeded to click the little X that closes the chat window. Let us proceed to beat the otakus when I return to UT.


\\-Just One more - もう一度。

Tiffany was supposed to give me a ride back but she had to go back for work. Normally, that would be ok, but most of that money is going to go to expensive seafood anyway. I feel like I've been shortcutted for seafood.

Sean Paul doesn't know english.

After listening to temperature, I've decided Sean Paul doesn't know english.


Today was a very weak day in shadowing. But the evening was more interesting. Sams club is always interesting...

Also I watched bits of Madagascar again. Seen it? (I like to move it move it..)





Heh. The penguins are so awesome. Have you noticed Dreamworks likes to use donkeys a lot in their animations?

Driving, shadowing, and the quiet birthday.

Facebook does wonders. In fact, it can do the wonder of NOT doing wonders. I took my birthday off facebook and everyone forgot.

In order of wishing [today]
1. Jonathan Lee / Jenny (~1am)
2. Mom (~6am)
3. Dad (~7am)
4. Uncle (~7am)
5. Dr. Applewhite and his posse(~7am)
6. Theresa Cheung (~2pm)
7. Kelli Kong (~3pm) <-- 5 years in a row. Impressive.
8. Diane Shao (~3pm)
9. Sikha Naik (~4pm)

I'm not including those who wished yesterday, but include Vivian Lee (and probably some other people).

And the day is not yet over. Get your chance!! Of course, 0.3% of the world has a birthday right now, so I guess mine isn't that important. But if you forget, you will be on the hate list, and I will hate on you for a couple of months. ha

Did I mention how much I love driving? First time I took my car out this break was this morning, during "rush hour". Speeding, traffic violations, jackrabbit starts... for the first minute. I don't want to kill my car, you know.

It was nice though. A V6 handles very nicely.

So shadowing. First Day. Interesting, yes. As always, Dallas has a good share of crazy patients. One patient was smoking a cigarette every 15 minutes. That's $400 a month in the AIR. Another thought he was in a mental institution. Perhaps he should have been.

So far, it has been quiet. I was going to take the Dart Light Rail and just roam around Dallas for my birthday, but I would probably feel really guilty about wasting time like that. Imagine if people stopped working on their birthday COMPLETELY. I bet the world would come to a halt.

Now Movies.

Crash - after months of hearing about it I finally saw it, and it was good. But there were no Asians in the whole racism thing. (as is expected.... :D)

A Boy Who Went To Heaven - Korean? You guessed it. I liked it, but I can't say much about it (a boy goes to heaven...).


She's a little ....err.. There are better looking actresses in South Korea.

loyal visitors.. sorry..


will post tomorrow.

Prep for spring break yo

Prepping for spring break, although my list-o-things to do has not gotten shorter.

For a moment, I was almost wishing spring break would be postponed. My primers came in yesterday, so technically, all I have to do is sterilize and I can run more reactions.

BUT. Reactions take time. 30 minutes of prepping + 2.5 hours of running + gel formation + gel running + gel staining = around 5 hours.

I don't have a 5 hour block before I leave. Anyway. Today's entry is a bit short.


Why the Holocaust Never Happened - wait till Saturday or so.

Hobo in organic

Ok... more organic stories.

My organic chem class is pretty full, so we have to get there early to get good seats. And by good seats I mean 3 seats next to each other so the Dash-Cheung-Lee trio can be one.

Anyway, today I walk in and the only 3 seats I find is in this one row... with a hobo.. hahaha

He was sleeping when we first got there, like not a "nice" kind of sleeping. He had his legs up on the chair and he was sleeping very soundly for the amount of noise in the room.

He wakes up when class starts and soon we realize... A FUNNY SMELL. PLEASE TAKE A SHOWER, HOBO.

Also, he started eating weird things during class. So we had to put up with the smells of bananas, sandwiches, and a hobo not taking a shower. I mean come on, he was eating a MEAL during class. wtfff

Very strange hobo. I wish I had a camera to take pictures of random people like that.

Also, cynthia is going to be in the hospital until friday. Brackenridge room 810. I might go tomorrow morning or something. Of course, she might beat me for waking her up early like that.

And now, for some practice.

今日曇りだった。
いい天気ね。雨が好きよ。
どうでしたか？

Interesting eh? I think I have progressed a bit. I remember in the beginning of last summer, I was like "Konnichiwa has FIVE syllables? HOLY S***. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT". And now, I can do relative clauses and stuff like that.

上手に成った。
lol. I probably said that wrong.

I'm reliving some old music. Such as the Jurassic Park soundtrack. Ahh the good days, when Speilberg didn't make movies about Jews. oops. I said Jew.

Tomorrow : Why the Holocaust never happened. [whoa. bold claim eh?]
