Journey to Glam

Hiiii everyone! I’M BACK! and I’ve genuinely missed you guys; I’ve felt like I’ve been gone a long long time, perhaps because you were always on my mind I kept telling myself that I was going to write a blog entry TODAY! then too many days passed and I didn’t know what to do a blog entry on and pretty soon, I had so many real people come into my life (i.e. HUGE groups of family and friends for graduation and festivities) that I didn’t have time to sit at my computer for a whole five minutes let alone time for virtual friends.

So here’s a few thing that were true about my life when I went away, CSI style in bullet format and a false bullet thrown in for good measure.

• I took my MCATs; the scores aren’t in yet but man alive did I have some up and down moments in the days leading up to it. Thank you God for getting me through it..and thank you friends, family, birds, bees and everyone that has heard me whine and moan for the past century about it.
• I actually cried a little when the janitor who was cleaning up puke inside an elevator at 2 am gave me a pitying look when he saw all the books I was carrying for my night session before the MCAT.
• I made it through 3 finals, 2 projects and the MCATS in 100 hours after that last post you guys have been staring at for weeks.
• I fed grilled cheese to a dog with a french pedicure better than mine ever will be.
• I walked the stage…3 times for graduation and once for the Award I mentioned.
• I wanted to poke my eyes out if anyone every told me again how valuable my degree is or how many opportunities I had open before me. Death by a stapler to anyone that mentions again 5 life lessons they wish they had known at graduation. You learn life lessons people, no matter how many times you tell me…I’m gonna have to go through it to learn.
  
• Listening does not equal learning.
  
• I have officially tried on every. single. dress. in Dallas in pursuit of a decent graduation dress (I have no idea why it mattered so much! …It didn’t at first and then I was so frustrated that I had spent all this time on a graduation dress that I spent more time looking for a good one!) So all that to say, if you need to find a particular type of dress — I would so be the person to ask; clearly I know the selections at every store from Dallas to Waco.
• The Hilton Anatole is a good place to go for rich men and cheap drinks.
• If you must go to a nightclub called “Purgatory” you need to do it right before you graduate…if not, you may not be able to call yourself a self respecting human.
• I contemplated stealing a string of pearls off a persnikty looking chiwawa this weekend. Sadly this is not my false bullet.
• I set sail for Alaska tomm and won’t be blogging for ten days, we have no internet (well, free internet) on the cruise and I can’t afford $0.55 a min internet.
• I had to pull a friend away from licking vodka off a man’s nipples when he started to show more than just his chest.
• I was thankful for family, friends and everyone that came out to support me this weekend.
• $1 margaritas will show their true colors eventually.
• I made about 30 lbs of hummus this weekend. Some people have vodka seeping out their pores after graduation. Me…well I eat my weight in hummus at a party with more Egyptians than I will ever know in my life.
• I couldn’t really come up with an outrageously false bullet.
