1st day of summer classes

So today was my first day of summer classes. I'm taking Organic I, and an engineering class. Our Organic chemistry instructor asked us to read the first 2 chapters today. This is about 100 pages. What??? I'll try to read a lil, but I'm sure that I won't be finishing half of that. Because I'm tired, and I feel that I'm behind already. It's been a while since I took general chemistry, so all the concepts are kinda foreign to me at the time. It will take some time to come back to me.
This is the book we using for the class

I didn't sleep well last night. I was so mad that Miami lost to Chicago. I kept waking up, and remembering that. What a dreadful feeling.  Damn you Bulls!
That's all for now!

Home Work

First, I'm sorry that I let myself down by not posting everyday. But I found it to hard to do daily. I'll try to do it 2 or 3 times a week instead. At least I'll have something to talk about.
So I spent all day today working around the house. I moved my computer and the TV from the  living room to the guests room, which we don't use. My wife said the couch in the living room is tired of me, and she doesn't want me ruining it, by laying on it for hours watching TV. So, I moved the TV and my computer to the guests room (my room now :)
One last vacation day before  summer school. Gotta enjoy it.
That's all for now!

Chess book

When I thought about starting this blog, I promised myself that I’ll post daily, no matter what. I find this a very challenging thing. Mainly because nothing much happens in 24 hrs that you think will interest your readers. But I remember when we had medschooldiary.net how much I enjoyed reading whatever other pre-meds posted. They might not think it was important or interesting, but I loved it. For that reason, I’ll try to post daily, and see how boring it turns out to be J

Monday I’ll start my summer classes, so I have 6 more days to enjoy. I’m reading a chess book called “Chess for Beginners” by I.A. Horowitz. I used to play a little chess back in the days, but I haven’t played it in years, so I’m trying to re-learn it. I remember all the rules, but I forgot all the tricks. They say Chess makes you keep your brain sharp, so I need that to compete with all the young pre-meds J. Hopefully I’ll finish it in a couple of days. I signed up with chess.com for a free account. They let you play against a computer or other players. I also tried yahoo games, but I like chess.com better. So, I’m planning on practicing daily to get good at it, but all depends on my school schedule.

I’m also working hard on the Twitter thing. I’m new to it, and trying to make sense of it all. I try to keep it as updated as possible. That’s another challenge, but I’m getting better and better every day.

That’s all for now !

Today was basically event less. I had to go and see my eye doctor for my annual check up. It went smoothly. Weird thing is that I'm always the only patient there. Every time I go there, it will be just me. That's interesting. I hope that I'm not his only patient ;)
Anyway, he said that I need glasses. So, I should be getting them some time this week. You know what? I like eye-glasses. They make me look smarter.
Summer School will start a week from today. I'm taking Org Chem I and an Engineering class (major is engineering). So, I'm excited about this, since I didn't attend school this spring. I kinda miss school ;)
I'm gonna enjoy my last week of vacation for sure.
That's all for now!


 

Hello World! No, really :)

Hello fellow humans interested in medical school. Thank you for stopping by.This is my med school journey blog.
Let me tell you about myself. I'm a 34 years old Non-Traditional student. Married with 2 kids, 4 and 2 years old. I'm a junior Majoring in Electrical Engineering. I live in NC. My dream is to make it to medical school. I started this process when I was 26, and I was thinking I was too old to pursue this at that time, so I went after it halfheartedly. It took me a few years to realize my mistake, but by then I was married with 2 kids and a full-time job. Now, I'm waking up again, realizing that I'm really getting older now, so it is now or never. I'm a junior, and will graduate in May 2013, and when I make to medical school, I'll matriculate at the age of 37, God willing.
I have 2 years to go before I start medical school. These 2 years will be half the fun part. As they say, getting there is half the fun. So, buckle up for the journey. I hope that you will enjoy it as I will. I used to follow many people through their blogs, and I'm here doin' this because of their encouragement.
That's all for now.
