I just can't seem to have enough motivation. Motivation to go to the lab, go to the gym, even go to the mall. I believe I am in a funk. Hopefully I'll get out of it by the time spring semester rolls around...

...and so, instead of having a productive day, I decided to go through all of my perfume oil collection... I realized that I have a lot, and some of the ones I liked changed after it aged (or my tastes changed, I guess). But some I like even more after it aged, like The Hesperides and Dana O' Shee from BPAL (Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab). I used to be so into this until I moved out of the apt and back home... They have some really cool scents, and I love all their themes, which are mostly goth/romance/dark... Not sure how to describe it. I can't do alcohol based scents, so I prefer perfume oils/lotions/balms

I NEED to watch Confessions of a Shopholic~ muahahaha~~~

See, I was about to write on some topic, but right before my personal xanga page showed up, the ad for the Uninvited movie contest showed up. Uhhh... no I do not want to write about my scariest nightmare and then win a showing to invite MORE nightmares. How twisted is that???

Anyway, I guess I haven't been keeping this thing updated... I've been pretty lazy, now that I'm on "break" (which I'm not, since I'm still taking classes anyways). I am glad to say that LAC-USC's new towers are pretty freakin nice. Way to use government money! I haven't seen many interesting patients there yet, but it's only the 2nd week... 4 more to go... hurrah... I'm honestly scared that I'll graduate without adequate amount of knowledge and skills, but we'll see in about 5 months... and the test... and job applications... *sigh*

So it's the new year and all... and yes, this is the year that I will turn a quarter of a century old. Yikes. I've always thought that people become more serious and act age-appropriate as they pack on the years, but nope, it hasn't happened. And now I'm scared that my mind and my physical age will never synchronize. It's just odd to think that I'll be like this even when I'm 40 and 50 and 60 and so on...

Well, my circadian rhythm is not a rhythm anymore (one more thing that will shorten my lifespan, yay), so here I am... crocheting. HOW THRILLING! But yes, it actually is, as well as many other forms of crafts. I hauled a lot today from JoAnn's and I plan to add one more craft under my belt this year: embroidering! Well, I was going to tackle silk painting, but then quickly realized how expensive that will be... But right now, I'm crocheting, and I realized how handy it is to make wrist warmers and wear it while I'm typing (preventive measure for carpal tunnel syndrome!). It's very cushiony, and I like it~~~
