There's Something About Mary

You know what's going to be awesome?

Taking 3 exams and then stuffing my face with a delicious lobster on the beach.

Take that, med school, you ass.

Vrai ou Faux?

In NYC you can describe your life by saying

~~“My office is nicer than my home”~~

The bathroom in my office is nicer than my home… granite countertops, marble floors.

11am

Convo w/MJ last night

MJ:: So can you tell me what happened?
Me:: No
MJ:: SCREW your HIPPA laws!

My roommate is AWESOME!

Yesterday we both had the bright idea to pull an all nighter for our respective exams the next day. I have 3 and she has 1 in Behavioral Science. I would rather be her right now… but that’s besides the point.

Anyway, to keep ourselves alert and awake throughout the night, we decided to watch Michael Jackson music videos on the hour. This ended up in us trying to attempt the moon walk (FAIL) and we dared to try the anti-gravity move a la Smooth Criminal (again, MAJOR FAIL). Oh we also tried to sing all of his songs, but realized that just because we recognize the song, and think we know the words, doesn’t mean that we really do. For instance… we butchered “Don’t stop till you get enough” we’d say… “Keep up with the FUNK, don’t stop - Don’t stop till you get enough” when it’s really Keep up with the force… And for all the other words we didn’t know we filled the gaps with high pitched fake words or “hee hee’s.”

It was a pretty hilarious/ridiculous/lame night of studying, but so much fun.

This morning before she left for class… she started singing “beat it” in reference to my test. She’s the best.

9am

The Cove Restaurant, Antigua

I'm sold!

While browsing restaurants to go to after exams tomorrow, I came across this one called The Cove. It pretty much looks amazing. I think I want to go here for my Birthday away from home.

6pm

Fuck Rain, it's Carnival in Antigua, MF!

Despite the hurricane esque-rain and the thunder and lightening that suggested the sky was going to fall… the White Party (one of the many field parties, leading up to the ultimate caribbean party, Carnival) went on strong until 6am this morning.

There’s a series of mini parties every weekend starting like two months ago that leads up until actual carnival the first few days in August. You know… just in time for exams. I can only describe it as Mardi Gras on ‘roids.

5pm

WHY?!

Is someone outside swimming when it’s raining hurricane style and there’s thunder and lightening?

9am

Warm sheets

My laundry was done for me today. Folded, ironed, just like how my mom would do it. It smells like home.

10pm

Aw yay!

I got a phone call from an old college research buddy tonight who was in Disney world for the 4th of July.

I bet the fireworks are going to be ridiculously amazing!

I was pretty excited to hear from him, we haven’t talked in so long and it’s kind of depressing being here in a place that is the complete opposite of America studying for 3 exams on the 4th of July.

Last year, my parents were out of the country and my sister and I were setting off fireworks on our deck (wood & fire = not a good idea, but still fun nonetheless). I miss those times. And I miss how apeshit my town goes for the 4th of July with parades and such.
