Muggle's Lament

Actually I haven't had much time to do my secondaries since I've spent the past 11 hours sleeping and then prior to that 14 hours reading "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." The sad thing is I was alerted that the book was on-sale at Walgreens by Victor after I had spent two hours waiting in line at Borders at midnight.

If you want a review of the book, look on Amazon. All I have to say is it is a fitting ending to a seven-volume series that for a lot of fans they've been following for twelve years. But WHY J.K. ROWLING, WHY, DO YOU HAVE TO RELEASE THE BOOK EVERY DAMN TIME I'M STUDYING FOR THE MCAT?

Secondary Colors

I received my first secondaries last week for med school, which puts into perspective that in the next six months, I will retake the MCATs, work in a Parkinson's disease lab, gather data to write a paper for a thesis committee to tear apart, write more secondaries and hopefully get interviews, TA for Histology and go to the Philippines for a week.

But like my grandpa said, "If this family could survive WWII, this family can do anything."
God bless his Japanese-hating bones.

The Lone Gunman


I am the last of Shoreland East.

Well, actually Tera Ellefson is here in Boston too, but of the original Kids, I am the last one since Poulus and Vanessa have returned to Chicago.

I tried to fill the void with work. That did not help.
I tried to fill the void with study. That did not help.
I tried to fill the void with drinking, clubbing, and making out with hot girls. That partially helped, but the fact the conversations I had always turned to MCATs, med school application, and Red Sox reminded me of what I was missing. Also, it didn't help that I am durnk.

Anyway, I remain in Boston for at least another academic year, so if anyone is visiting, call my cell (773-xxx-xxxx) or email me. Seriously, I'll be missing the conversation.
