SUCKS!
I'm taking clinical enrichment, and in two weeks, I'll be on shift from 6AM to 2:30PM... I have no idea how I'm going to be awake for that. But I do like my women's history class so far because my instructor likes to press people to think outside of the box and is unconventional. C'mon, it's women's history. You have to be a pretty bold person to be in this field since it's still controversial, despite the modern times.
Anyways, just wanted to mention highlights of 2007, as many things happened for the first time. I got into a nursing program, visited Korea over the summer (not a first, but it's been a long time since I last visited), moved back home (still not sure if the pros outweigh the cons), did not work (I've been working since 11th grade continuously... so it's the first time in 6 years or so... feels very odd), and started my premium denim collection hobby (fine, it's an addiction, I admit it). Seems like time speeds up every year, and this one was no exception. I realized that graduating college and getting a degree doesn't make you an instant success, contrary to the common beliefs of Asian parents. After all that brainwashing, it's a bit of a relief to find that your future isn't written out in stone. I realized that I truly like school and education and all that learning stuff, despite how much I hate doing work (lazy to the bone, that I am). I realized that I have a lot more passion in me that I thought I have lost, and that I still have some intelligence left in brain that aren't random, esoteric, and handy for Trivial Pursuit. I just hope that 2008 will have even more pleasant surprises in store for me.
So for the first few days of this new year, what have I been doing?
Well, I snowboarded on New Year's Day and got owned by the slopes because I kept falling on my knees trying to carve. I have been trying to remind myself to buy a new board for the past few years, but nope, haven't bought one yet, and thus, my saga of bruises continue. My brother and I were like moving like glaciers the next day... slow and minimal amount of movement. We even had matching pairs of bruises on both knees.
I watched more Korean dramas to start the year, because all the good ones just started. Lots of historical pieces, and I must say, Sung Yuri's acting improved ALOT. Yes, that girl from Finkl who can't sing. I don't know if she improved alot because of training/experience, or because her character suits her or she feels comfortable playing her character, but it's a definite improvement. Yay, she's not a wooden stick anymore~
Also downloaded the anime Darker Than Black, and it wasn't too bad. It was really interesting until the ending, which kinda fizzled and left me disappointed. Booooo~
Umm, as usual there is no point to my entries, really. I just write a lot of drivel to clear my head. But then again, humans only choose to be rational. We don't HAVE to be rational... another social construct to keep society running, I suppose, but if we were rational all the time, life wouldn't be very interesting or meaningful. And I find it very meaningful to blow my money on expensive jeans, despite the objections of my conscience. It's good to be a hedonist once in a while, since it helps in dealing with stress.
It's a medical drama, and it's really dramatic for me because I actually get most of the medical terms and the situations... I just can't wait for my ER and ICU clinicals 
...although we're going in the psych unit in the upcoming semester, so that might be pretty interesting as well. Oh, and Lee Ji Hoon shows up later in the show, so even more eye candy :3
