You are fucked, Charlie Brown!

Whew......it's been a while since I've been on this site. With all the stuff going in my life right now, it surprising that I even have time to breathe.

Since I've got "friends" who think I write too much, I will try to cut to the chase and give you guys the short rundown. Now, I could have omitted this paragraph entirely, but I figure I will put it in just to piss them off. :-D

There are several big things going on in my life now. I just recently purchased a house with the aide of my parents. I never realized the effort and money involved in upkeeping a house. I just spent $6000 in furnishings, and it looks like that would only furnish 1/5 of my place. I'm pretty much a fulltime student; the only way I can make money is to work on weekends and to ditch classes on weekdays so I can go work. Grades are suffering because of the lackof attendence, but fortunately, grades dont really matter at this point anymore. It's not rare that between school and work, I only get sundays off to relax.

My next big hurdle is the USMLE Step 1, which is coming up in end of May. This test encompasses several subjects including embryology, human pathology, pharmacology, neuroanatomy, human behavior, microbiology, immunology, and epidemiology. In short, it's basically 2 years of hardcore curriculum condensed into a 7 hour exam that's designed to be taken in one day. Some of you may (or maybe not) remember me bitching about my 8 hour dental licensure exam which I had to endure in the summer of 2003. Well........that's like comparing the fundamentals of additon and subtraction to Calculus. My life is full of these never-ending exams....and I've only got 3 more progressively harder ones to go within the next 5 years.

Sigh.......
