annnnnd, we are back!

hello, kidlets. welcome back christinie roo!

so the third semester of pharm school has come and gone, and unfortunately what i am supposed to have learned in school by now has never come. hmmm, oh well :/ i am just so glad and relieved that finals week is over! this semester has been pretty hard, for some reason. not sure if it was because of procrastination, lots of stuff to learn (them crazy pdats), or lots of random, unfortunate incidents happening in life. eh, i will reflect on them later on this month. maybe next week when i am bored in el houston.

first real day off since finals: today i spent a few hours in the gym, trying to tone up for the holidays. even though i ate very poorly all semester, surprisingly most of my weight gain happened within this past month. must have been the high level of stress induced cortisol level rise and temporary glucose intolerance!! blah! i gained 10 lbs since beginning of the semester. it is not that i am obssessed to be thin. in fact, i think it is more attractive for a girl to have curves and something to hold on to. nevertheless, i know holidays are full of fun festivities and delightful indulgences of gastronomic qualities-- must tone up as much as possible before all is lost!!! :)

i then tried to do some fake tree shopping at target afterwards. NOT SO GOOD. man, these trees are *MUCH* more expensive and *MUCH MUCH* uglier than i expected. i didnt wanna spend more than 50 bucks, and i want something cute. all trees in that price range i saw were nasty. i might check out home depot some time this week for a fake or a real one. brigot from starbucks bought a real tree from home depot for only $12. if i can find one that cheap, might as well just get a parfumy real thing!

stacepaul came to sbx to study earlier tonight. i think her brain was twisted amongst crazy bits of muscley and boney knowledge. boo to anatomy. it was nice to see her; havent seen her in a long time!!

tomorrow, tuesday, allen, calanthamine, and i have temporary plans to go to the aurora outlet. waahhh, it'd be a first for all three of us! i have done NOOOO christmas shopping yet. i still dont know what to buy for anyone or who to buy for. maybe after buying for self i will have more clear ideas? this commercialized christmas shopping is too stressful. bah! however, at least i know who FOR SURE i am not and dont need to be shopping for! awwww. i mean, woohooo!
