it's that time of year again.
to those of you who don't pay attention, or simply don't remember, i am in medical school. around this time last year i was completely fed up with all the people in my class. in case you didn't know, med school is filled with a bunch of people who are overachievers, and have been that way for the majority of their lives. most of the people here are bright and inquisitive, but at the same time, annoying and obnoxious. throw about 60 of them together in one classrom for 7-8 hours a day and OH THE FUN WE HAVE.
maybe it's my true enfp personality, but i never quite fit into the mold of most of these medical people. and every now and then their blantantly obnoxious, aggressive attitudes try my patience. but luckily i have thanksgiving and christmas breaks right around the time when this usually happens, so that my sanity may be spared.
and i've been listening to this song a lot:

so don't let the world break you down
not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
remember why you came and while you're alive
experience the warmth before you grow old...

(i mean damn, did incubus go to med school?)

until the breaks, i have to do other things to get rid of that negative energy. i've started the workout plan (again). i find it very disheartening that dubya can run 6 miles a day and i can barely make it to 1.8. but this is the most active i've ever been in my life, and i actually like it. this whole fitness thing mostly came from the motivation of sitting in class, and having something slip out on my side from under my shirt. this thing was a light brown roll of flesh. after several attempts to push it back under the fabric where it was normally retained, i realized that more effective methods would be needed. so i am working out, and not losing much weight, but definitely feeling better.
in other news, i have officially declared myself the smartest person in the universe. that's right, my smartness knows no limits. i am doing so much better in school this year it's unbelievable. me doing well in school and the eagles have a perfect record? maybe mercury is in retrograde or something... i'll have to check.
as far as the prez-u-dential elections, it really doesn't surprise or anger me that bush was re-elected. i truly believe he is an idiot, but i also believe that life wouldn't be any different had kerry been elected. it does make me very sad, however, about the 11 states passing a ban on gay marriage. i feel like america should be less about taking away people's rights, and more about guaranteeing them some rights... how about a right to healthcare, for starters? isn't that the same thing as a "right to life?" hmmmmmm...
