Estoy sufriendo muchas presiones!

That means "I'm friggin stressed out" in Spanish! Haha. Seriously though, I really am.

WOW, I haven't been here in SO long! I've been so caught up with school, work and lacrosse that I don't really make time for anything else. I try as much as I can to stay in touch with my best friends and the rest of the world, but I guess it's always been this way for me to have something to do every second of my day. This semester is nothing but stressful. I feel like we just started school, and I already have so much to do! Only because that is exactly the case! Ok, maybe it didn't JUST start, but it is FAR from over and I have plenty of studying and homework-ing to do.

Anyways, it's Saturday night and I'm home because I'm tired and stressed out with school. I had a really fun morning though! We had a fun day at the beach and played some soccer and volleyball in place of Saturday morning practice. (: Then a handful of us went to Hodad's for lunch. YUM.

Well, I started studying a couple hours ago and got sidetracked by this whole pre-med program mess. I just reread the packet for the pre-med requirement and what not and it just reminded me why I'm so stressed! On top of being a Bio major, I have a full list of OTHER classes I need to complete before I graduate. Then I started planning out the rest of my years at State. I'm basically taking at least 16 units for the rest of my semesters including a full load in the summer.

It makes me really think about playing lacrosse for the next 2 years. There are so many pros and cons about being part of this team. It is VERY time consuming and you have to be very dedicated to school and lacrosse which can get stressful. But honestly, how many pre-med students applying to med school are a part of an organization outside of professional health? And to top it off, I just read the section in this premed packet under "Other Activities" that says "Many personal interests have nothing to do with medical aspirations; however they are reflections of you and help you maintain your individuality and balance. These activities are important to both you and the admissions committtees. Space is provided on applications to describe your interests and activities." This also gives me something ELSE to write about in my personal statements rather than my experience volunteering in a hospital for a semester. This also gives a little excuse for my GPA being under the 3.7 I need to get in to a medical school. Holy crap.

I guess I just need to learn to be more focused in everything I do. Life is just getting a little more serious and future is seeming to be closer and closer!

Hmm, well as for the rest of my weekend I have an endless list of things to do:
1. write out my bio notes
2. study for my bio quiz
3. study for my bio test
4. read for bio stats
5. fix/update my resume
6. apply for the Children's Center on campus
7. work &church on Sunday.

then I have to figure out somewhere to squeeze sleep in! AHHHH!




On a lighter note, it's the season of Lent! This year I gave up a few things:
1. doing makeup in my car while driving
2. answering my phone/texting in my car while driving
3. limiting myself to ONE pair of Steve Madden's
4. no coffee!


That should save me from potential car accidents and money for Sonjya's Disneyland weekend adventure and for Trina's upcoming birthday after that!

I need to be better about writing more often in here too. It gets my mind off things and keeping a diary/journal was strongly recommended by the pre-med advisor.

Alrightttttt, well I really should be studying for bio now.
