Drinking

After the entire drunk debacle last evening at Mark's house, I've decided that I am going to give up drinking for the time being. Definitely not drinking at all the remainder of winter break at home. I'm too old to be this irresponsible about drinking, and I need to grow up.

Finals

My body has ingested such an incredible amount of Mountain Dew, coffee, and espresso beans that my stomach wants to gag and throw up every time I force more into my body.

sighs. Finals Week.

I Miss My Girls

Jackie: its sad that that part of our lives is over
Jackie: but thats why you will never understand it while youre there
Jackie: it is just different
Jackie: and not a good different either
Lisa: sighs
Lisa: that's one thing that leo doesn't understand quite yet
Jackie: and its impossible to describe
Jackie: its a very deep sadness
Jackie: I told my mom that its comparable to what I think losing an appendage is like
Lisa: HAHAHA
Jackie: its like my arm has been removed and you keep looking for it but its never goign to be there again
Jackie: you can put a prosthetic and its functional
Jackie: but its never as organic to who you are
Jackie: not like the one you were born with
Jackie: and it sounds stupid but thats really what I feel like

Thoughts Of The Moment

• I hate professors with ambiguous grading scales. Especially dull and mind-numbing professors who learned their teaching methods from Ben Stein in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." And especially creepy old men with pot bellies who apparently check me out while I am walking out of class and follow me to the Student Union for lunch.
• I should've gotten a job instead of going to graduate school. Ah, the regrets.
• I miss Study Days at Notre Dame. Countless hours studying in cubicles on the 8th floor of Hesburgh Library. Countless hours studying in 3rd floor rooms in Debartolo Hall with random people. Countless hours studying in random places of Bond Hall with arkies. Procrastinating and wasting time in McGlinn floor lounges. Random study breaks at Lafortune. The Zahm bun run.
• Guy Love - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF6rSGfUdyg. Zach and Leo, anyone?
• I miss Vietnamese food. I am craving a simple meal of white rice and my mother's stir-fried vegetables. And perhaps pho.
• Absolutely detesting the taste of Mountain Dew Code Red, although it is the only drink with enough caffeine to keep me awake without producing a splitting headache. And thus, why I am a little more understanding of perhaps why pharmacy students have a higher tendency to take Ritalin to maintain concentration than the general population of graduate students.
• I want a candy cane.
