Ra--Ra-Rasputin, lover of the Russian Queen!

Just posting today because I haven't in a week. Really. You gotta keep it alive.

Had a bit of a rough week. Too many midterms and assignments due. I got everything done, though, albeit not brilliantly. I'm pretty sure I did spectacularly poorly on my chemistry midterm, but at least it is only worth 7.5% of my final grade. If I keep doing well on everything else, and on the 60%(!) final, I should be ok. My history of popular music in drama midterm yesterday went really well, which is a good thing, because that one is worth 30%!

I sent out my med school application on Sunday night, and so far they've received all my supporting documents except my transcript. MUN, I ordered that thing two weeks ago! Why isn't it there yet? The admissions office lady told me not to worry, though, because they know how the registrar's office is. Slack, that's how they are. A bunch of slackers.

Relaxing most of this weekend. No partying for me. I'm trying to save money and recover some of the sleep I lost this week. To force myself not to go out on Saturday night, I'm going to my parents' house right after work. It's so nice to hang out there sometimes, since I moved out. My parents are so happy to see me, they almost treat me like a "guest". I'm pretty sure my mom even cleans the bathroom before I get there. Either that, or it's always clean now that I don't live there anymore. I'm also looking forward to watching Coronation Street. I don't have a tv at my house, so I haven't seen it in weeks.

I try to make my life sound interesting, but it pretty much just ends with me rambling about my week. Oh well.

P.S. Someone just passed by my house in a car with the music (bass especially) up on BLAST. That would be relatively normal if it wasn't 10:45 in the morning. You don't usually hear that kind of stuff at least until after supper. Maybe they need it to wake up or something. I don't know.

P.P.S. I just remembered, the Klezmer group I play in at MUN is playing a short set at folk night at the Ship this Wednesday. Everyone should go check it out, and then let me know how a bunch of white kids from St. John's are doing with interpreting traditional Eastern European Jewish music. Yeah.

After months of antici... pation...

MCAT scores came out today!
I am pretty happy about mine. Considering that I have a music degree, I think I did pretty well.

27P

So? What does everybody think? The way the test is marked is kind of weird, so I don't expect many people to be as excited as I am. I'll just say that I was expecting, and would have been happy with, a slightly lower score. It's not amazing, but it's pretty decent.

I'm happy!

Wolfgang: A Photo Memoriam

My rat, Wolfie, died last night. He'd been sick (read: riddled with tumours) for months, but acted completely normal until a few days ago. Poor little guy.

Here's to you, Wolfie. You were an awesome pet, and you will be missed.

In all his glory!

I got my eyebrow pierced today, and my tattoo consultation is on Friday. I can't wait to get it all drawn up.
The new roommate moved in today. I'm excited about having another person in the house I can have a conversation with.

A few fun things going on this weekend. Party at Kathy and Josh's for Josh's 25th birthday on Friday, and Hey Rosetta on Saturday. Then I get to go visit the folks on Sunday to eat a nice big turkey dinner.

Since I don't have a picture of my newly-adorned eyebrow, I'll leave you with something that is quite possibly EVEN COOLER:


JESUS RIDING FALKOR.

She grew up, she filled out.

About a month ago, I got together with my friends Philippe and Heather to do a little photoshoot entitled "Zombie Survival". Here are a few of the resulting pictures:
