udpate:

hellow. i just finished my second monday of work. yaaaayh. Finally got to meet with my supervisor David who was at the HPTN (HIV prevention trials network) conference for the past few weeks.

I'm really liking work so far. I'm finally done with the human subjects training and other of the logistical stuff and finally get to start doing research on some aspect of HIV prevention that I will update for the section's official blog. So far, I'v really been enjoying the brown bag lunches/educational seminars. There are some amazing docs at the HIV research section, and hearing them speak about the developments in HIV prevention, treatment, and vaccine trials I find quite fascinating actually.

The people I work with are all really fun loving. Most of them are from the bay, and i'd have to say like 80% of the staff I work with is homosexual. Nothing wrong with it, just I've never worked in such an environment. They are super friendly and welcoming. I'm not at the point where I would go and hang out with any of them after work, so I tend to just head back to berk after the long shift.

After spending the last 3 days in non stop company with all the hsus and the bro in law I haven't really been lonely. But walking to the bart on my way home, at like 8PM as the sun was setting... I definitely fell into a small slump. Where was the warmth and comfort of the people I am most comfortable with? For the first time in a long while it felt really weird to not have those people to come home to.

But when I actually got back to berk it didn't take long for me to shake that feeling off. My friends were still here, waiting to spend time with me :) What a brat I am to have forgotten this. Having been @ home for so long, I spent most of my free time with one person. I guess this 50 mile difference has actually been pretty good for me; I needed that shove to reinvest in old friends instead of ringing lloyd's doorbell to troll him every day.


okay tomorrrow's a big day! actually not really, but kind of. I am meeting with professor machen tomorrow to finish off my final LOR. I am pretty excited to be done with the app, but i know secondaries are going to pour in as soon as I blink -___-


also, my hair is growing pretty long. Debating whether to trim it or let it grow even longer.


my stomach hurts :( chih ming why did you feed me that grapefruit after swimming.

many times i just wish i could get into your head and hear what you are thinking. but in the end, the things I hear will probably leave me dissatisfied.

so i guess i am okay with not knowing.

6:57 pm

30 minutes left in my shift. im hungry. and scared. because i am the only person still here on the floor working O__O

HAI WURLD

HI erryone. Lots to blog for today; the last few days were kinda eventful. lacking the energy to be creative here so im going to bullet

-Finally submitted my AMCAS. Yes.

- Last Thurs went to get pho with Vu and got some pretty badass food poisoning (i think)? woke up at 2, 4, 8, and 10 for some glorious puking sessions (noodles and tiny chunks of meat included). My entire body was exhausted. It sucked. But at the same time it was kinda cool becuase i never got food poisoning before. Turns out Lloyd had all the same symptoms yesterday (including bi-hourly puking)! so maybe I had stomach flu??

-Started my first day of work as the Social Media Coordinator for the HIV research section of the SF dept. of public health. I am slowly familiarizing myself with a few different websites ( sfisready.org is one of the better made ones, imho). To familiarize myself with how to use the social media website I will be working with this summer I made an experimental blags/twitter. Nothing interesting to look at, more for me to play with.

-My co-workers are splendidly awesome. So far there are only two interns my around my age (Jen and Kevin) but the work on a different floor :( Luckily, Sersha, Dr. Fuchs,Jonathan, Aaron, and all of the other nice (NOT to mention good looking ;) employees are super nice to me.

-Moved back into an empty 2121. I am currently without internet and will be challenged to finish this post doubletime speed by the time sonoma closes (in 5 min!!)

-One thing I realized is that I hate not moving. I like my job except for the fact that I don't get to talk to enough people (hopefully this changes soon) and also, since my job is a social media intern, my domain is the cpu. And since my domain is the CPU I sit all day. I hate that part. I am going to try and keep moving by trying to get out asap so I can hit the pool before it closes at 9, but we'll see how feasible that is :\

okay goodbye. closing time.

already on fb but in dire need of a repost

i would give a month of my life to curl under the covers and be 8 again, watching these QUALITY shows on TV with my siblings while my mom made kimbap in the kitchen





can't post power rangers or batman -____--

mild spoiler (no longer a spoiler, been cenosred 8)).

i reposted this on my fb like a million times then i felt bad for possibly mildly spoiling the movie


in a nutshell: x men first class= great movie! I have particularly strong affinity because my bros and sis would all watch this show on fox kids when we were all runts (13+ years ago!)



YET, when _______ dies I cannot help but wonder..

why does the b_ack guy always die first?

no congratulations, balloons, or happy faces.

stay classy, amcas. stay classy.
