今日、私の友達は「先生の推薦状を書きましたか。」と言った。
私は「いいえ。。。」と言った。
かなしいかなあ。。。
I woke up at 7:30am to take my 5 hour long MCAT practice test this morning and… I fucking got a 29! I think it was a fluke though because my previous score was a 23 and come on, jumping up 6 points without much studying cannot be right. I’m going over some answers right now and I do not know how the hell I managed to get so many guesses right (wait, does that mean I’m smart?!).
Afterwards, Luke woke up (he stayed over because we wanted to watch Food Network all night but that failed because I went to sleep in a matter of 2 seconds). We decided to go to the mall as a celebration and mostly because Luke needed to go shopping for things for Japan. I went shopping with him yesterday at Target after sushi (and after he got me flowers!) and man, he is not frugal or at least not as frugal as I am. I ended up with nothing today but a free Chatime milk bubble tea because I entered a MOA blog contest. I rock. Anywho, it was fun shopping even though I had to follow Luke around as he was buying shoes and such. Afterwards, I stopped by my parent’s home to drop off a cheap iPad case I found for them. Then we went back to the apartment and cuddled before grocery shopping.
I dropped him off and then decided to bike for a little bit before cleaning the apartment and sitting down to watch a couple episodes of Worst Cooks in America. It’s kinda nice to have the apartment to myself for a couple of days but definitely getting boring. Tomorrow my plans are to go to work, run, eat, park myself somewhere to study, and sleep! Simple but entirely boring.
Edit: I suppose I forgot to mention that med schools typically take 30’s on the MCAT. So, a 29 is just fucking awesome so far.

Rofls. I knew Luke was busy packing but I wanted to test out Skype on my new iPad (new being the iPad 2, not the 3). It surprisingly worked much better than my own laptop, granted it doesn’t work on my laptop.
I needed to get something from the fridge when he had the idea of me putting the iPad in it because he’s “never been in a fridge before.” Lawlz.
I’m glad Skype works, maybe him being away won’t be too bad now that I can literally Skype with him anywhere!
So Luke graduated yesterday (technically since it’s now 2:04am). Can’t believe it’s already been four years. I was definitely a lot sadder for this ceremony than for my own (btw, I don’t feel like completing that blog just because it wasn’t a pleasant memory).
I was really reluctant to even go to UST’s ceremony because it felt so wrong to return to a place I wanted to leave. But I know Luke wanted me there to support him despite the fact that he was absent at my own ceremony. To me, when I think of college, I don’t think of the past two years at the U and as much as I love the U, I just never felt connected to it. I started out at UST, all of my college memories, friends, schooling was at UST. So in a way, I felt like I was being left out at graduation. Nothing beats those awkward first day moments with your roommate in a cramped old room with no AC. Or the (very) short walk from the dorms to the science buildings immediately followed with a run to the Binz for Mary’s famous sandwiches. I’m not sure I have the same memories here at the U.
It’s really sad that I had more friends at this graduation than at my own graduation. I’m going to miss my friends so much. I know they’ll still be around but nothing brings people our age closer than college and now, there’s nothing to tie us together. :(
Anywho, I was proud of Luke graduating today. I talked to his parents a lot and I found out that they absolutely adore me! We went out to dinner at the Barbury Fig but before we left, Luke’s mom wanted me to drop off his camera in his room. As I walked in, everything was completely bare. It saddened me so much. We had so many memories in the room just cuddling, watching documentaries, doing homework, looking at maps, and all of his twinkling lights. But all of that was gone and I guess it’s really hitting me now that he’s leaving soon. We estimated that we will see each other only once next semester seeing as it’s a 10 hour drive and at the U, they don’t really give you breaks other than the major ones. I’m really not ready for it but I guess I don’t have a choice now, do I?
BUT, at least we got Grand Ole Creamery and nothing beats a giganto scoop of red bean ice cream on homemade waffle cones :)
P.S. I can’t believe I didn’t get to see Sharon or Lynn. They were two of the people I grew closest with at UST!
I was running as quickly as possible because I had a ton of studying to do for the MCAT tonight but I seriously got lost. I came to that bench while searching for a way back up the cliff but at that moment I just said, “Fuck it, I’m gonna sit down and enjoy this view.”
And I did.
And it was great.
And then I left because some guy was walking along the path and ruined it. Maybe I’ll find it again and take a picture of it. Sometimes you just need a fuck it moment (YOLO?) to realize things will be okay.
<3
I’m gonna miss him so much.
So… I graduated today!
That’s about it. More later when I feel like finishing this blog.
DECONSTRUCTED SUSHI
Mmmm! I love sushi so much but sometimes I don’t have the time to make it or it’s really expensive to buy. What’s a great easy alternative? Deconstructed sushi!
Growing up Chinese, I’ve always eaten white rice so even though they say it’s not good for you, I’m going to continue eating it.
All you really have to do is:
And that’s it! Super simple and tastes great! I love to do more veggies than white rice so it looks like a lot of food. Simply delicious.
