stella artois and the forbidden summer of fun

is it summer? i wouldn't know... i don't even realize whether its weekend or weekday or day or night or whatever comes in between those. here i am again, pretty much where i was one year ago, smashing away at the MCAT while trying to master scheduling in doing amazing in two summer courses, volunteering and working. all in all... i'm busy. and i've been terrible at keeping up with this. my baby puppy mishka died a couple weeks ago and the far too young age of 11.5 years old... and out of nowhere, just as i decided i would wait a long while before getting another dog, a little puppy waltzed into my apartment (fell over into it more like) and was a practical carbon copy of my first baby... she's a sweetheart and apartment perfect. for all of you who keep saying "she'll never be mishka" no of course she wont... but shes wonderful too, and she can't be mishka because she's miss stella artois... and stella is sorta like... the puppy mishka sent to take care of me. :)

i have one month. one month to pull it all together, to perform. to prove myself to the MCAT, to the med schools, and to myself. maybe i don't get a real summer... but i do get a real year. a year i didn't think i was ever going to be able to have... i will be working, volunteering, playing with my dog, and having a non-academic life...it'll be a nice break, and hopefully get me sick enough of it to become motivation to do amazing in med school... on top of that, i'm starting it all off by going to V-fest in B-more.

wish me luck... and if you want to hang out at all, bring a book and come hang out at the library that was once my apartment.
