Health is improving! *grins*

Went to the seminar, and although I did get a few odd looks due to my bruised arms, it went quite well. Unfortunately, I think I have to get a private tutor for my Spanish grammar – it sucks big time and this has been labeled a personal responsibility by the law faculty. Thank God my cousin, Ivy, is a Spanish teacher and hopefully won’t charge me for a few lessons.

Anyway, all is well – I feel quite stable, although I do have to get the labs done on Thursday to see where my blood platelet count is up. If not, then I’m afraid I’m going to have to take this semester off and go back home to Connecticut for further treatment.

Wow! What a week!

As some of you know, I had been hospitalized for seven days (Sunday till yesterday), but now I’m back home. It seems that I have mono mixed with dengue which can be contracted through a mosquito with white legs. There seems to be an epidemic going on here in Puerto Rico, but my doctors aren’t sure. I think I just had mono brewing inside me for a long and just my luck, the bomb decided to explode now. I missed the first three days of my law school summer seminar, but tomorrow I’m heading out there. Hopefully it won’t be too much on me physically. From what I hear it’s just sitting there for three hours listening to a lecture – I’m sure I can make copies of other’s notes and get right back on track.

It was so frustrating to be hospitalized, I felt like a prisoner, although right now I feel like a prisoner to the pain on my hip and chest – the first a failed attempt at getting a bone marrow sample, and the second a successful attempt that resulted in a big hole in the middle of my chest.

That shit hurt!

Plus, I now look like a leopard – black and blue all over my arms where all the nurses kept stabbing me for blood samples. It got to a point where no blood came out of my veins which let me tell you was mad frustrating.

Anywho, I’m better now, and I guess that’s the most important thing of all, no? On a side note, Gabe was very attentive to me – praying even for my recovery. Maybe that’s a good sign… maybe I need to stop being so pathetic and finally get over him.

What have you guys been up to?

Crap! I miss the House season finale. Oh well, I guess I’ll catch up when the season comes out on DVD. Although, I’m seriously considering taking that money and pre-ordering Life on Mars – I’m not really feeling what little of this season I’ve seen.

Today I bought my cap and gown for graduation, and I even got the opportunity to hang out a bit at the university library withfabiola_maria. She thought me to play Uno and it was fun. I really needed that moment of respite.

Well, back to the mad rush that is the final sprint of finals.

Of course, I was a terrible mess all morning. I got there an hour early for my interview and right away they sprung four short essays on me. I almost started crying because writing in Spanish is not my forte – at all! I took a deep breath and managed to write something decent. Then I had to wait like forty minutes for them to call me in. First, I had to meet with the committee and then the dean. The committee made me nervous. They started questioning me about this one class I dropped, but I had a good reason for doing so. Then they asked me about living in Connecticut, which turned out to be good since one of the committee members lived a bunch of years over there. Lastly, they mentioned Obama and since politics is more of my forte I was more comfortable. The conversation went well, and then I met with the dean who was so nice. He told me that he liked my energy, and that the school wanted people like me, and that I was in. I was so excited, I think I squeed, but he did too. He seemed like a very flamboyant guy, but anyway, I GOT IN!

I’m so happy!

Great! It’s going to be hell doing the house_md_news post on Thursday. Why do I even bother?

Marry - David Tenant

Who wouldn’t? He’s sooo my type – nerdy and quirky. Plus, if you’re wondering, the fact that he happens to look like a certain someone… well, it isn’t much of a coincidence.

 

Boff – Alan Rickman

I didn’t marry Alan only because he’s not really into marriage. I think he’s the kind to be cool with just having a commitment to each other, no need to go and make things official. Besides, it’s just a piece of paper.

Kill – David Duchovny

Sorry, David, but lately you have been acting really odd. Plus, he has a bit of a holier than thou attitude, and it gets old…fast. I’m afraid there’s only room for one drama queen when you’re in a relationship with me, and need I point out who it will ALWAYS be?

Another attempt at writing Harry Potter fanfiction. Of course, this is Hermione/Snape so if that isn't your cup of tea, it would be best not to read  this. Although, I don't think the actual fic should offend anyone. No underage stuff going on here.

Have any of you seen those commercials for onlinebootycall.com? Aren’t they ghastly? Not only are they on during the middle of the day, which is shocking to me, but they’re so lame. Last night I saw one in which there were two couples at a club. The first couple had met through eHarmony and she was all like, “what are your core values?” Then the other couple were just randomly making out. Of course, the first couple had an awful time, and the second couple obviously hooked up. I can’t speak for everyone, but that sounds like an awful first date, although if you’re looking for someone on a site call onlinebootycall, well I guess you’re getting your money’s worth. Ehrmm, when did one have to pay for booty calls? Mind you, I’ve never done such a thing, although I’m not judging anyone who has, but I thought booty calls were reserved for casual on again-off again lovers? Or ex boyfriends/girlfriends, not random strangers! Call me old fashion, but are these people even tested for STDs before hand? I don’t know I just find it a bit ridiculous. EHarmony sounds like a better bet at finding a decent relationship, and their commercials are much more tasteful. I wish my life was an eHarmony commercial…hahaha, wait, maybe not.

Soooo, what are you guys up to on this fine Friday morning?
