A (mostly) mobile blog about the life (vaguely non-existent) of a recent Master's graduate navigating through San Francisco, and soon, Chicago. A collection of cool geeky tech stuff, odd grad/med school anecdotes, and random happenstance. Not getting too much into it, let's just say I fight cancer (in general).

Why be surprised?
It's the small things like this that makes studying enjoyable.
You've got residents, law students ( I could tell, because they were better dressed), and random people in one place. And they're all nuts.
The wifi here has been decent so far, but not great. Which is good for someone like me, who get tired of physics as circuits. Though, now, I can teach the damn thing now.
Still, I'm sure if I wait long enough, I'll have crazy stories about the people who inhabit this study haven of mine.
Back to studying.
P.S. Here's a pic of the "view"

Halfway through the summer
I'm not really progressing as well l as I wanted in salsa, mainly because, i have no idea how to string a lot of spins and turns together.
I might have to find a different salsa instructor.

The library, a great place to bring your beer?
Things have been relatively quiet, salsa is picking up and I can't wait to do swing dancing at the Cal academy. Additionally, I haven't exercised in a while.
Yesterday, I did discover this really great and cheap place to get sashimi. Suruki market in San Mateo. Kinda far, but worth it.
Studying for 12ish hours is hard, I do get a roll sometimes, and finish some sections faster. Other times, i'm taking my time so I can really understand what I'm reading.

Finished data! And other life choices
In June, I finally finished all the data I needed to collect. Yay. And I also submitted my application for med school. Double yay. Currently, I'm studying (again) for the MCATS. I know I can score a wee bit higher. My exam is in August 23. This time it's in state.
So what's up next? Finish thesis. Study for MCATS. Send out secondaries. Defend thesis. Get job.
Never a dull moment that's for sure, but I wish I didnt have all these things at the same time. Sigh. That's what I get.
Right now, I'm at the library working on physics, the section I'm most weakest on, doing problem sets. Let's see how much I can get done before the library closes.
FYI, this library is sooo amazing. I cannot believe how much work I can get done. It helps that I can maintain focus longer than I was in undergrad.
Back to work!
