The End and The Beginning

So I've been home for a little over a week now and I am a bit torn. One side of me is dying to get on a plane and fly out and have an adventure in ROME and there is another side that wants to sit on my couch and recuperate from the most draining semester of college thus far.

I'm almost through packing--which is a relief. I'm also done with all my med school primary apps (all I need to do is press submit!) I finally got all my hostel bookings and plane bookings around Europe done too. (I'm still trying to figure out how to work Montecarlo and/or Morocco into our plans, but it looks unlikely right now :\)

I've just bummed at home and watched way too many movies. Night at the Museum 2 was FANTASTIC. I've gotten to see Lauren and Sara and got to spend a lot of time with mom. Dad's been in China for the past week, so I wasn't fortunate enough to spend as much time with him as I wanted to.

I'm getting my fix of Tex-Mex food tonight at Chuy's with the fam...and I think Indian/Mexican food and my wonderful bed are going to be the things I'm going to miss the most! (and my friends, dog, family, etc...haha) AND I'll be totally missing my iPhone--it's going to be so weird not having it on me. But I'll deal with it.

Also for those that regular read this, this will be my last post for a while--I'll be on europeanshyam.blogspot.com for most of the summer.

wrapping up and counting down

i think it would be cool to spend saturday or sunday mornings at a coffee shop with my future family
reading the paper, doing the sudoku/crossword, the kids are coloring or whatever

I've recently begun inhabiting a coffee shop--Bennu Coffee and I absolutely love it.
I just cannot study at the apartment, so this is a good thing.
THEY HAVE CLUE, MONOPOLY, and SCRABBLE HERE!
They have a chalkboard in the bathroom on which I drew a benzene, then made it a nitrofluorobenzene, today i think i'll change it to biphenol?
They also have all vegetarian wraps inspired by mexican, mediterranean, asian, and indian cuisine
and their mochas have literary names! So far I've tried the Oliver Twist (love the caramel) and then the Scarlet Letter (made with chili powder--its gotta a nice artistic kick)...next to try is The Raven!)
I am never leaving.

but looking ahead:
ARH Test Monday 4th
Biochem Test Tuesday May 5th
AMCAS Application comes out May 5th
PChem Test Wednesday May 6th
Research Paper for Lab Due Thursday May 7th
