I went out for the first time in months (to see The Spinto Band) where I interacted with other humans.

Did you get pictures of the three GTers?

What's positive here: I've been working on my thesis all day. I wanted to hand in the results chapter this afternoon. But I didn't have enough time. And I'm incredibly stressed!

I ended up getting 85% on an exam I thought I totally bombed. haha

I actually can't find anything positive about my day. Or recent days, for that matter. I've been a bit depressed lately, and not being able to find one positive thing about my day got me even more depressed

How is medical school going?

Meh. This year I'm doing surgical rotations, so it's all either practical or theoretical surgery. Which makes me want to kill myself.

If there was a chance to skip forward in my life, as in Click, this year would be it.

I passed my ophthalmology exam a few days ago, and currently doing orthopedics. My ortho professors (proff...?

) are going to make us work very hard. It's going to be a long 3 weeks.

Oh, and I'm also studying for the USMLE-like test we take after we graduate (which is in 2 years). I'm taking extra classes on weekends, so that leaves me with no free days. I can't even sleep in!

See why I'm depressed?

You need to be more like the people in Scrubs! They prove that you can have fun during stuff like that.

Something positive here: I don't miss Scrubs at all (just finished season 1). Right now I'm rewatching Firefly.

I got asked to submit a comic to an adults only smallpress Australian comic magazine called YUCK! That was a good lesson to always check your spam folder. Now I wonder if I missed out on other jobs.

On an art forum I belong to, joined in on a Christmas art swap and got quite a popular fellow as my swapper. He even has his own wikipedia page.

I tipped the scale at 209lbs on Saturday. That means I have 20 pounds to go before I am in the "healthy weight" according to the BMI. That is pretty much my new goal, 189 or thereabouts.

I have a long way to go, because you figure on a good week I lose 1 pound, on a better week I lose 3....and on a shitty week I stay about the same (which happened 2 weeks ago).

But I'm actually really enjoying dieting. I'm eating less food but I'm eating meals more frequently. I've been eating consistent breakfasts which has seemed to really help. I have more energy overall. Also, since I'm no longer in the business of stuffing myself till I am uncomfortably full...I haven't felt uncomfortably full.

It's weird because I don't miss a lot of the unhealthy foods that I ate frequently...chips, cookies, soda (partially because you can supplement this with 0 calorie carbonated water). I do miss beer though. Beer and chocolate. I mean damn, I really miss beer.

At least with chocolate you can still eat it, just sparingly or in pseudo-healthy ways (fiber bars/granola bars).

Once I hit my goal I'm having a beer.

Anyway, I also went to a pretty decent sushi place. This isn't all that big of news except that this sushi place is right across the street from where I live, so I can literally walk out of my place and go get yummy sushi. And the sushi was pretty good. I LOVE ginger and wasabi!

I lost 5 pounds due to the swine flu. I figured I'd gain it back right away. But instead, I lost an additional pound.

Awesome!

You see, not all viruses are bad.

Only 46 more days until I graduate from college. I can't wait for December 19th.

I'm telling you, H1N1 is the best thing that can happen to you.

My thesis supervisor was very positive about my work.
I won a coupon for €50 of groceriers.
Driving lessons went well. My instructor has faith in me.
Something I forgot.

Please share with us something POSITIVE that youve learned from an ex. Could be the last one, or 3 exes ago. Whether its about yourself, or about human nature.

Angrist · 11-11-2009, 04:22 AM

I just handed in my thesis. That's positive.

But I had to stay up ALL NIGHT to work on it. I've been busy for 14 hours straight.

So now I'll crawl into bed.
