Women's Intuition
“You can seek the advice of others, surround yourself with trusted advisers, but in the end the decision is always yours. And when it’s time to act and you’re all alone with your back against the wall, the only voice that matters is the one inside your head, the one telling you what you probably already knew. The one that is almost always right.” -Grey’s Anatomy

“Ask her why she cries so loud
She will not say a word
Eyes like ice and hands...”

Accepting what you can't change.
I don’t know why I have become so infatuated with this “disability” called dyslexia. After I was diagnosed and understood the actual term….it felt like the lights finally turned on.
As I became frustrated with imputing any more information in my brain yesterday, I remembered one of the girls in one of my undergraduate courses. We shared a few classes within the 4 year...

My inspirational song of the week.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger Stand a little taller Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter Footsteps even lighter Doesn’t mean I’m over ‘cause you’re gone What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stronger Just me, myself, and I.
“Stronger” -Kelly Clarkson

FAT TUESDAY.
Lent begins Wednesday!
The Catholic in me has successfully given up something each year and restricted myself from eating meat on Fridays. Hmmmm what shall I give up this year? Although, this is not the basis of the Lenten season but I feel like I should give up something. Or i’ll probably do something good for someone. Hmmm..
But for tomorrow.. i’ll use it just as an excuse to be...

It's Friday.
It is Friday once again. And it brings back the same feeling. I’m glad that is it finally here but I believe Fridays are just as hard as Mondays. I’m dead tired from the week and I pull the last bit of energy and patience with work. Friday night is the worst working at a restaurant; I have little stamina and very little patience for people and their bullshit. Here is to my 30 minute...

So There
dearoldlove:
You will always be my first. My first love. My first lover. My first heartbreak. That will always be true. So there!
Note to self
My apartment will soon be plastered with flash cards.
I feel like i’ve made a million flash cards in my life time. I’m making a million more.
Lost in education
Me: How was that presentation? What was it about?
Grad student: It was really good, she talked about how cytokines..( insert big words...scientific terms...immunity..yada yada yada blah blah....)
I knew what she was talking about but not the actual concept so she lost me within the first two seconds of the explanation. I just nodded my head and looked like I understood what the hell she was talking about.
I felt like I needed an English translator for a second..
The aftermath
Finally, after countless chocolates, a gazillion tagged pictures of long stem roses, and the utter bitterness of over half the population..Valentine’s day is over!
As I said before, I wasn’t going to dwell on the fact that I’m single on this glorious holiday but I finally became slightly ticked off when I was called in to work. Yes, I had nothing better to do. Yes, I had no...
The fight for your rights.
Thank God for being an American citizen. Thank you for protecting my rights and giving me them when needed. Yes.
I have decided to retake my DAT for sure. I am entitled to special accommodations which I will take full advantage of if my application goes through.
Now..find time to study for it. Blah.

Valentine's Day
I feel Vday always has a stir of mixed emotions. From the bitter angst of people who are alone to the feeling of walking on sunshine from people who are madly in love. Some say it is a made up holiday while others religiously believe in this day. This day brings an array of emotions to various people. While it may bring memories of a past love or create a new memory of a present one, there is...
