the Ups and Downs

There have been quite a few ups and downs lately.

First, my boyfriend didn't get the job he wanted and now I can't just follow him and use him to make decisions that I don't want to have to make. I'm sad he didn't get the job because he really wanted it, but at the same time, it does give me flexibility to pursue whatever I desire (and who the fuck knows what that is). I'm almost done with my Texas medical school applications. Yay! Then I get to start on the national application form and then do my grad school applications, the Texas bar exam application, and take the MPRE. My summer of fun is not so fun.

Tomorrow is my birthday (happy birthday to me) and I'm excited to go with Taz to this festival. I even booked a hotel room with a jacuzzi. Yay. I'm tempted to leave my phone at home, but that would be mean to all the people who try to call me and wish me a happy birthday. Plus, my parents would rip my head off if I didn't talk to them on my birthday.

I had yesterday marked off to be a bad day, but it wasn't nearly as painful as I'd thought. First I had to go to the girlie doctor, then work 6 hours at my legal-type job and then work 5.5 hrs at my easy job. I snuck out of my easy job for an hour to grab dinner with blondie (the best part of my crappy day) and then when I got home, I went strait to sleep.

Around 4am this morning, a ridiculously loud storm woke me up. It takes a lot to wake me up, so this one must have been vicious. Then I woke up to go to work and my power was off. I hope it wasn't/isn't off for too long because I have lots of good food in my fridge that I don't want to have to throw away. Talk about a waste.

Grades:

My grades this semester have been rather atrocious. I've gotten more C's and C+'s than I'd rather admit and I didn't get back anything starting with a vowel until yesterday. I was nervous that there would be no trampoline this semester to help keep me elevated. This is also bad news because this is my last semester of grades that the med schools and grad schools get to look at before they decide whether or not to accept me. :( I don't really regret the decisions I made last semester, and I'm not really sure I could have changed THAT much, but still, C's of any flavor suck.

I want a new phone. I want a camera phone. I want it now. But when I went to sprint to see what they could offer me, they said I had to wait till July 1st to get a $150 rebate and it would be stupid of me to get a new phone without the rebate. They are right, but that's not what I wanted to hear. On a side note, Best Buy has better deals on sprint phones than the sprint store. Random.
