10.5 hours til my future is calling
Ugh, tomorrow morning I take my PCATs which are like the pharmacy school SAT type things. OMG I AM GONNA DO SO BAD! I have done some practice ones and get like oh 50% or less on the bio and chemistyr sections. Luckily on like the math and verbal and reading I do pretty good though the verbal is very touchy. Some practice i did really good some really bad. Math and reading I am shooting for like perfect or very close to perfect to hopefully cancel out the badness of the other sections. It seriusly could go etiher way, they could ask stuff I know, or stuff I don't (which is a far larger % of stuff). We'll see. I hate standardized tests. I am a pretty good test taker in general so I have that going for me but I seroiously know very little bio or chem considering I took the classes the stuff is based on appproximately 7 years ago with the exception of one semester of organic chem i am taking now. Like some of the stuff is from later organic chem which we haven't even done yet! Ugyh! I guess I oculd always just hope to win big at the casino if tihs whole pharmacy school thing doesn't play out!

I was thinking, hwo do these people from other countries pass the verbal part in any sort. Like i seriusly have a pretty good vocabulary and there are so many where I don't know what any of the choices mean. These people who english is not their first language, I can't imagine they can really do any of ti!?! it must be so difficutl! I guess no more difficult than chemistry is for me! Haha. !

Ok off to sleep early to get ready !

Good luck Mike!

There was one that now i cna't remember it but it was a comparison between something that meant a formation of caravans in medieval times and a french word for an inn where people rested on long trips. Serioulsy not stuff anyone ever will need to know! Though frankly I am barely worried aobu tthe verbal part as compared to the bio and chemistry.

James, you seriously haven't seen these questions they are so insane. In one of them, one of the answers was an exotic fish species from the caribean -who the fuck knows about that and how does it prove anything.
tinypliny - 10/19/07 22:19
Good Luck!!!!! You will do fine. Tie on an optimistic ribbon!

Heheh... Verbal. Are verbals on the PCATs as arcane as the ones on the GREs? I tortured my parents to deaths of boredom with an overdose of all those words. The bad part is I use them even now and get weird stares sometimes.
james - 10/19/07 22:17
People from other countries are taught English. Americans learn English. So, we learn poor grammar and we learn how to spell poorly, and all those other things. People from other countries are taught proper English, so it isn't so bad.

My Beaster
one of my bestest friends since sixth grade , (e:beast) is moving to scottland to be with her b/f (well they are gettin gmarried but only for the visa, not "for real" as she says) ! This means she will be there a minimum of two years. I don't know what I am going to do! I am a wreck! A full fledged crying mass of a wreck right now! I really thought I would be fine, she travels a lot and isn't in b-lo at months at a time but the tihng was she always was coming home! I had a date I knoew she would be back for a while! This time it could be forever, this could be the end! I am not handling it well at all! I have been crying since last night when I dropped her off after her goodbye dinner, we are going to lunch now. I hope to compose myself. I seriosly I had no idea I would be so distraught, I thought I would be fine but thinking about it is really making me carzy. I AM GONNA MISS HER LIKE WHOAA! I just can't imagine her not being here, and at the same time her starting tihs whole new life really, with new firends, a new husband and new everything and I won't be a part of it! I hate the tought! We've done eveyrthing together since like 6th grade! I don't like tihs, I don't like it one bit.

Her mom always refereed to me as teres's wifey. She said I would call all the time and be naggy and what not and we would get in arguments like we were married ( i was clearly the wife though haha) Maybe it is that thought of losing my "spouse" to someone else. Whose wifey will I be? I need my (e:beast)! I don't want her to go! It is completly selfish and jealous but I really just don't want her to go! She cna't ! Maybe I shall sabotage her plane!

Ok i'm just kidding about that, I don't want to be arrested as a terrorist or something. I wouldn't really sabotage her plane! (e:beast) I am gonna moiss YOU!

Oh What A Night after night after night
Had a great weekend with (e:southernyankee) and (e:lilho) in town and (e:beast)'s going away party on saturday. Too much fun for one little boy. I actually have some pics from saturday at least because I rmeembered I have a camera for the first time. Since I just got it I always forget to bring it. Lots of good times and incriminating photo'/vidoes esepcially from Thrusday which luckily will not make it on (e:strip) , for the most part at least....

Two random crazy things though...
...driving home thrusday night/friday morning, at the corner of Elmwood and Hertel I am stopped at a red light and there is a car next to me and the driver gets out of his car AND STARTS PEEING IN THE MIDDLE OF ELMWOOD. and then proceeds to get back in his car and drive through the red light and the next one...i'm sure the rest of that ride ended up in a lamp post.... it was seriuolsy crazy

then friday night I am leaving the (e:pmt) house when I open the door (it is like 4am ish, there is this man just standing there at the bottom of the stairs looksing at the door. I freak out run inside and (e:libertad) locks the door. I call everyone to the door and noone knows him. SUPER SCARY/FREAKY but then he eventually walks away and gets in his car and takes a good 20 minutes to pull out of a sapce even though he had no one behind him. I think he was relaly just a drunk man who maybe thought it was his house he was at and was confused why people were coming out of it?

Interesting weekend altogether and I am missing chammy cakes and sarbear already> Maybe I will have to write a song about it....and sing in in my underwear while playing the organ.....OH WAIT, i've already done that!
lilho - 10/16/07 12:07
omg! the song!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhhh. i have blo withdrawal!
fellyconnelly - 10/16/07 09:53
note to self - bring pepper spray for next PMT visit...
imk2 - 10/16/07 07:34
ok, that neighborhood is seriously becoming quite scary.
tinypliny - 10/16/07 04:31
LOL, that reads like a horror sitcom soap! :D

On a serious note, Linwood is crawling with strange people! :/

Missing mY shows
This dinner and (e:strip) discussion is cutting into my favorite television night of the week. I will be missing both Gossip Girl AND Dirty, Sexy Money my only 2 must see shows of the week. We don't have a VCR that tapes thing I am not watching and do not have TIVO. What is a poor tv addicted boy to do?
tinypliny - 10/10/07 22:51

Why I shouldn't watch sports
I can't handle it. I am not like a huge Bills fan or anything and i started watching this game and I get pulled in (if i start watching a game I will always get pulled in). And seriuosly the game was amazing and super exciting and then.....we lose at the very end. Like i am totally dejected and sad now for something I don't really in reality care about but it just i get so into it when i do wathc it. I can't handle the post-loss depression, I can't imagine what it would be like if i really really got into it everyweek. I tihnk I would be really depressed a lot!

Seriously these young newbie kids out there on the bills team totally desrved this game so bad! 5 freaking interceptions, a run back touchdown, LIKE WHO THE HECK GETS AN ONSIDE KICK!!!?! ugh
mrdt - 10/11/07 01:28
Its funny I feel the same way. I haven't really cared for this girl all the much, but I pulled out all the moves anyway. Now I can't really have her anymore and I'm like totally obsessed.

For someone who was not even watching, I was a bit let down, because someone sent up preliminary firecrackers when they were winning earlier on the game. I was devastated to learn that there would be no more - especially after waiting at the window for so long!
joshua - 10/09/07 16:25
Its gonna be okay Mike - we are in this together as a city!
fellyconnelly - 10/09/07 10:06

lilho - 10/09/07 01:30
