Hey, peeps!!
I've been doing MCAT study stuff for about 4 hours now, so it's time to rest my weary cranium (see what I did there?) This MCAT shit is insane. I cannot believe how much stuff I have learned (and subsequently forgotten) in undergrad. Seriously. I remember learning about quantum numbers in my first few months as a freshman in Gen Chem with Dr. Krouse (We don't know a damn thing about astatine!!!), and here I am tonight, a junior, trying to remember what the fuck that even means. Sigh. Not that I mind, really. It's all stuff that I enjoyed learning the first time around (well, most of it), and dredging it back up is slightly less difficult than starting from scratch. But enough about That Fucking Test, let's talk about my abandonment issues, the real subject of this blog.
Solidly two weeks into my semester, it has finally really hit me that most of my close friends are gone. Shit. I was just getting used to having friends, when suddenly, they are ripped from me. God, if you exist, why must you be so cruel?!?! But seriously, this is balls. I am quasi-compensating for this newfound lack of socialization by actually being in Gaming Guild. I'm playing a Game of Thrones- based RPG this semester. We've had one session, and it seems pretty legit so far. I'm also helping out with the decorations for Den Con, which will be in April. So there's that.
Apart from my latest step into Nerd-dom, I don't have much socialization going on. I eat meals by myself most of the time, because without Inbar here to tell us all what to do, no one can decide on lunch and dinner times. And then there are the study binges that make me feel a little crazy. Por ejemplo, I've been in my dorm room alone for four hours studying. I've begun to talk to myself out loud and pace ceaselessly.
It's a good thing I don't have any alcohol laying around. Will came over last weekend. We finished all the Guinness and watched Star Trek. It was awesome.
TL;DR I need my peeps back. Stat!!
(See what I did there? You see, it's funny because I'm going insane while studying for the MCAT, which is the test of doom that determines whether or not I get to be a physician. "Stat!!" is a thing that TV physicians say when they need something done quickly. That's why that's funny. [You see, jokes are always funnier when you explain them. The first time around, only some people get the joke. Limited humor. After you explain the joke, everybody gets it. Lots more humor. And more humor is more better. {You see, it's important to thoroughly analyze why things are funny to appreciate humor of any kind. Slapstick is the lowest form of humor. Examples of slapstick include, but are not limited to, slipping on banana peels, hitting your finger with a hammer, falling while.....} ] ).
