OMG

Jo Ling has arrived and she looks so fat. You’d never believe it….

Howdy-doo…

Lalala…where is everyone? What are you all up to? Besides shopping/clubbing/working/eating/sleeping…

I had a 15 minute conversation with my co-workers today about trashy novels. It was fun.

Waaah. I miss you guys a lot    Almost makes me look forward to coming back to Oberlin :p

where is everybody????

What the hellllll.. I know you guys are out there surfing the Internet and facebook all day long.. but not updating this blog? Sacrilegious!

What is everybody up to??? Oh, and I bought ANOTHER pair of shoes. WTH right?

report from the lab rat

Today, I went to work. I woke up at 8 am, ate breakfast etc, went off to subway station. It was so full of people -  maybe there are some perks to coming in later after all. Especially since I got to the lab and everybody was (1) not in (2) half-awake.

Anyway, I decided to send my principal investigator (PI – sounds so posh eh? Basically just another name for lab honcho) an e-mail to remind her of my existence. And oops – I got a reply from her in 20 minutes saying she was actually in the office =_= (she’s been absent the past week). And double oops – within minutes of seeing her e-mail she actually came and said she’d talk to me this afternoon. And then assigned me a bunch of readings. And then sent me two more after our talk – one of which is a review article 39 pages long. Note to self: be careful what you wish for….

The lab was freezing, and after being loaded with so much readings I decided to just go downstairs and eat lunch in the sunshine. Also called Edo and talked. Went upstairs and rifled through the graduated PhD candidate’s desk that I ‘m using right now, and found 1)BU gym magazine 2)explanations for experiments that we are doing in the lab.

So my afternoon instead of reading (of which I’ve done 2 pages), was spent instead looking through the catalog, deciding to take the gymnastics class and another class – sailing or hip hop or beginning ballet? or do three of the above. Any suggestions guys? And yes, they cost money  But still! I definitely want to take gymnastics, but the other one?

And then my google search bar for this afternoon included searches like : newton gymnastics, 915 commonwealth avenue (which is where the gym is), define:autocrine, define:paracrine, define:dimerization, define: target-derived … … …

But yes. Gymnastics! Wheeeeeeee….

~you know who i am…

:(

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Everybody is leaving

***********

Also, I have been eating 4-course meals for a week solid.  I go to bed never wanting to see food ever again and awake ravenous.  It confuses me.

What’s new with everyone?

In Boston! plus an old post:24 hours with Saki :)

I thought I would include a draft I wrote ages ago but never posted!

Am in Boston .. have been here for the past week actually. In this past week, my major accomplishment — FINISHED ROBINSON BLOODY CRUSOE PAPER! WHEEEE~ and thus commences my first (but not last!) English class.

Have just finished studying Biology for the day too. Gosh. I don’t think all this studying about muscles actually MAKE my muscles any better.. in fact it makes it degenerate..waaah. All that sitting and eating and not doing much else!

On the bright side, am going on a harbor cruise at 7 pm. Whee. Let’s hope motion sickness does not get to me. Damn these bloody Harvard med sch students and their free boat rides. Oh well. Hehe.

How’s everybody else? And.. have a safe trip saki!

*********************

Yesterday night Saki stayed over.. we both just curled up in my bed and fell asleep at 12.30 am I think, after mumbling to each other for awhile.

Middle of the night I woke up and heard people moaning upstairs. It was quite amusing actually. Haha.

7am – Woke up feeling anxious and scared for no particular reason. Thankfully Saki was around.. and it made waking up just so much easier. Went to see biology professor about questions in biology, and to explain incomplete. I didn’t really need to, but I felt like I had to? Just because I have this irritating need to be completely honest to people.

Work was quiet. Did Math prob set. Ate lunch with Saki, came back to room to read with Saki (and pore over Victoria Secret catalog -_-)

**************************************

Back in Obieland!

And all I have been doing is eating.

Saki and I went to the Mandarin yesterday, and the lady there looked at me all bug-eyed and went ‘You’re back?’  Haha I didn’t even know she remembered me.  Must be the weekly orange chicken last year.  We ordered so much food and took it back to North.  There is still food in Jojo’s room right now.

Oberlin is cold!  Now I’m watching Jojo pack.  I’d help but I’m sleepy.

Now all we need is Caitlin so we can complete the Asian set

Randomness

So way back I had a series of texts from JoJo and Eush that were apparently really entertaining, so I typed them up and saved them.  Well, I’ve just found them again.  Here they are…

Eush: ’Also frost everywhere it is kind of sad watching the sheep eat frosted grass . . . they look so confused. Then again they do all the time anyways’.

Jo Ling: trains are full.wah.so i’m stuck here. woe is me. more money gone.help!iwillnot wanna go out in ireland!

used my last two pounds on hot chocolate. wa wa wa.

wa so bored! why haven’t they announced my gate yet!

oh i think it is deciding what gate to announce…man i feel fat

my eyes are getting crossed looking at the screen!there is a flight to kuala lumpur at 2200 by malaysian air and it is already closed!

haha….WA……EVEN THE HMV OPPOSITE ME IS CLOSING AND THEY HAVEN’T ANNOUNCED MY GATE!

Ew…there are only 2 flights left with unannounced gates for the night but there are so many ppl around. am confused.

mass stampede happening now. am thoroughly grumpy. heh. following masses towards gates!

 

Life just isn’t the same without you guys  

bubble day

..last year was this Friday.

~Jo Ling

exhaustion…

Who would have thought that I would start feeling like this again? But anyway.. to avoid focusing on the negatives..

The weather in Oberlin is glorious. I should take some pictures. And post it on the blog. Hehe. It was so warm today that I actually was sweating in my jeans and sneakers. And also, these days when I leave my building there is no familiar shock of cold when I walk out of door. Instead.. I feel that wave of cold when I walk into my corridor that enters my room. Weird!

Currently, I am also in possession of non-functioning watch, and a pair of glasses with one leg broken off (the screw came loose). It seems weirdly characteristic of my life.

How are you all doing?
