- On explaining reflection and refraction laws for mirrors
- Physics prof: Do you have a pocket mirror?
- Me: No. Why? Do I look like the type that would carry one?
- Physics prof: Well, yeah.
- Me: . . . . .
- Physics prof: Hey, you asked. Plus, I don't believe you.

One of my favorite things about summer is flowers. They’re honestly one of the prettiest things in the world. And part of what makes them so beautiful is the fact that they only live for like two weeks at most (in vases at least) before they die :(
But I guess I’m lucky because although I love most flowers, my favorite would have to be dandelions. And since they’re “weeds,” I can find them anywhere. AND their lifespan is incredibly long :))

We can’t pretend we haven’t been told. We’ve all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time; heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still, sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering. That waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake, beats the hell out of not trying.

Congratulations to my brother for graduating today!!
And to the rest of Whitman’s class of 2012!
He earned his Bachelors of Arts degree in Biology-Geology. I’m so proud of him :))
I just can’t believe how quickly college has gone by. By this time next year, I’ll be the one in the cap and gown, holding my diploma. I’m absolutely terrified.
Summer’s here!! The sun’s out and the weather’s been a consistent 70-80 ˚F.
Meaning… white nails and gold bangles time :)
This is seriously my favorite summer trend.

For the past year, I’ve been spending an hour every other day curling my hair because I’m too lazy get it cut.
That doesn’t make any sense…
But my hair is getting ridiculously long. I look like Cousin It from The Addams family.
Looking at these pictures I took last summer makes me wanna go die.
I can’t wait until summer, which technically starts Sunday of next week. I just have to survive through my Art History midterm and Physics lab practicum on Monday, and then my Physics and Biochemistry finals on Saturday. Thank God my psych class is such a joke that the final exam is optional (and apparently not even recommended by my professor).
I’m kind of freaking out. I can’t believe how fast time is flying by. I still remember my first day going into college, all freaked out and teary-eyed when my mother left. And now, I’m one week away from being done with my 3rd year in college. One more year at Whitman, and I’ll be graduating with a bachelor’s in Biochemistry, Biophysics and Molecular Biology. And then it’s either onto medical school or graduate school, or securing an internship with a private institution or with Peace Corps… I’m not even sure where my heart lies.
OMG. My life…
Anonymous: Hi you're so pretty :) I was wondering what you would describe as your perfect boyfriend? :)
Hmm…
Actually I DO know what my ideal guy would be like… but when it comes down to the core, the best one is someone who can make me laugh and knows how/when to cheer me up.
And I would really, really like someone who’s a huge cuddler. Just someone who’ll hug me and tell me stupid things until we fall asleep. I’m not a big fan of making out or other things… if you haven’t caught drift yet :)
- Me: I'm not saying that you shouldn't ever settle.
- Me: Sometimes you need to decide what's more important--to be treated like you're the only thing in the world that matters or to be loved.
- Bestie: Can you not have both?
- Me: Only when Nicholas Sparks wins as Nobel Laureate...
- Bestie: LOL, someone needs to get laid more often.
- Me: Or mac and cheese. I'd settle for that.

I have a theory that as long as you have one good friend, one real friend, you can get through anything.

I hate when I realize how unreasonable I can be at times.
I know it is extremely bold to ask, but I wish that out of everyone close to me, you would be the one willing to make the sacrifice.
Push me back. Yell at me. Stop giving me so much space. Give up a part of your time and show me that I’m worth it, even if it means losing the entire day to make me realize it. Because right now, I just don’t feel like you care enough.
I know I have said a million times how I would never sacrifice myself for anyone unless I dearly love them and they really needed me, but maybe I’m just waiting for someone to prove me wrong. Make me believe that taking a leap of faith is really worth every sacrifice. And if you don’t think I’m worth all the sacrifices, at least let me know… So I can let you go and move on.
I think maybe I just a need a lot less coffee, an extremely good night’s sleep, and perhaps a little more sun and warmth.
I had such a lovely Saturday—it was sunny and 71˚F (for the first time since forever!). I almost felt like dying from the heat. My boyfriend and I decided to ditch homework and studying and just soak up the summer sun :)
I had the most fun yesterday. We walked downtown and got ice cream, and then he bought us BUDLIGHT and LIME. I’ve never had it before; it was amazingly refreshing. I told him that that’s all we’re going to drink in the summer when we get off of working in the microbiology research lab.
Except… right now I’m regretting it yesterday, LOL. So much studying, reading, and presentation notes to prepare. And it’s another beautiful day out. I think Yahoo said it was going to reach the low 80s… wahh. I wanna go outside and hang out :(

Let me say it plainly: I love you, I love you, I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you.

It’s been a coffee and chocolate kind of day. For some reason, I just think I’ll somehow be more academically productive if I’m on a sugar/caffeine-high than if I actually get enough sleep the night before…
Don’t ask me why. But at this moment, my body is DEFinitely not agreeing with me. I should probably do homework… I just really don’t want to. Reading about proteins and their functions as signal transducers and key enzymes for metabolic-energetic regulation isn’t exactly thrilling…

People can’t seem to get it through their heads that there is never any healing or closure. Ever. There is only a short pause before the next “horrifying” event. People forget there is such a thing as memory, and that when a wound “heals” it leaves a permanent scar that never goes away, but merely fades a little. What really ought to be said after one of these so-called tragedies is, ‘Let the scarring begin.
