First thing...this season of The Hills...just amazing! So, I didn't get into that school in Chicago, and another $100 has been thrown down the drain...but I am applying to LECOM and I just turned in the final documents for a school in Florida...I just hope something pans out. In other news, I bought Diego another collar. This little guy is like Houdini! He hates wearing it and removes them so easily. We are on collar number 5 right now. I bought him a belt collar and what did he do? Totally broke it!
I need to go on a vacation. Somewhere with a beach. I hope that works out too. I'm saving my money though! Wee! lol.

Sent in my application fee to ICO. Let's hope something comes of it. Otherwise, a $100 investment will be down the drain!

Hello everyone!
First of all! Happy Thanksgiving! I'm going to head on over to DeVonne's parents house for Thanksgiving to represent the both of us since he has to be at work. LOL..oh the joys of being in a relationship. Yesterday at work we had a potluck and I made baked macaroni and cheese. It turned out okay. I think it's time that I look for another job or take a break from this one and concentrate on apps or something. I think that's what I'll do on my break. Focus on my future. Sounds like a plan. I am NOT going to be receptionist all my life. Horrible. I'll be like that old lady at work that had a hissy fit because I didn't call her soon enough to come to the potluck. If I'm ever miserable and a downer, please let me know so I won't cause future damage. lol.
Happy Holidays y'all!

Hi everyone!
I hardly update this thing anymore. But that doesn't mean I'll delete it! :-) So, DeVonne and I went out for §weetest Day yesterday. He picked me up from my house...I know..amazing...and then we went to Trenton to go to this restaurant called "Cafe West". It was pretty nice. The bread was really good and the pumpkin cheesecake wasn't bad either. Before we went to the restaurant, we went to this little bakery over there because the restaurant didn't open until 4. Then, we went over to this park with the river running through it and it was so pretty. After dinner, we went to the theater to see "We Own The Night". It was okay. And then we went back over to DeVonne's and he gave me some flowers. Hee hee. :-) So all in all, it was a good night. So today, will consist of going over MCAT questions from practice MCAT exams. :-) Fun stuff! Have a good weekend everyone!

Something that annoys me....
People that put albums of baby pictures of their new cousins, or baby pictures as their facebook photo. Ughh..no one cares about your baby cousins....lol. I'm so mean.

Hi everyone!
So, lately I've been at odds in deciding my future and what way to go. Should I continue on with this pursuit of getting into medical school, or should I just say, "Hey..let me go to Optometry school" and call it a day. And even then, I am not 100% sure that I'll get into optometry school. I have to make a decision though because the months will fly by and another year will be wasted. I have a pretty good job, but I KNOW I don't want to do this for the rest of my life. It's also quite disheartening when you see so many of your friends being admitted into medical school and they act like it's not such a big deal. It is a big deal people! lol.
In other news, I've become more of an irritated person lately. I think it's the new job. When you are surrounded by such depression and cranky parents and children that get on your nerves, you also become like that as well. I work in a psychiatrist's office. Now, I want to be an ophthalmologist, so why am I working at a mental health clinic? Who knows.
Lately, I've started running again. DeVonne and I go together and it's nice. I remember when he and I first met and we would go on 3 mile runs together everyday after work by where I went to high school and it was nice. Now, I am lucky if I see him at least on a Sunday. So I do other things with my time. And sometimes I hang out with people that aren't really worth hanging out with. Rajshree knows who I'm talking about. I wonder why I spend time with them though because really, they have no concern whatsoever about my feelings and in reality, they are a jerk. So why do I continue to hang out with them? Probably because I'm looking for the thing that I know they will never give me. Why is it that I have the desire to change people? It's weird that I want to change everyone but DeVonne.
This is the phone that I'm going out to get today. Isn't he beautiful? I shall name him Bob.
So now comes the time where I talk about the things that irritate me:
~*~Mohini's List of Irritating Things~*~
++People that take 20 minutes to scan four items on the UScan at Kroger++
++Those stupid sneakers with the rollerskate wheel on them, and the kids who wear them. I don't like you rolling around me one minute and then walking the next.++
++Checking Voicemail++
++People who like ringing the bell at the front desk at work when I am sitting right in front of you. Is it really necessary to ring the bell?++
++People that take more than one piece of candy at the front desk at work. STOP BEING GREEDY!++
++People at the club that ask me what my name is and where I am from..I don't care about who you are! I just want to dance!++
++Indian people that ask me "Are You Indian?" Does it matter?++

Hi everyone!
Okay...so lately, all I've been doing is working, and studying for the OAT. I really don' t know what's going to come out of my future. At this point, I'm really looking into taking classes over again so I can actually get into medical school. I really should have spent all of this year doing that. It's amazing how easy you can waste time, and then look back at things and said, "Hey, I really should have done that." I don't know what's going on though. I got a secondary application from a med school in Puerto Rico. And half of the application is in Spanish. One of the requirements is that you should be bilingual in English and Spanish. Thank goodness I still know how to read and write in Spanish, otherwise I'd lose all hope. I'm glad I took those extra classes at UMD. In other news, I really really want to travel. We may be going to India. Which is a good thing, since I haven't been there in like 6 years. Which is a long time. I'll have such a culture shock I know. Me living in America, I have this notion that India is frozen in time, and it will be same way as it was when I left. I remember when I went there and wore capri pants and people were looking at me in shock.
More news, I bought a cookbook from Borders the other day and it's amazing. I can't wait to start cooking up a storm in my kitchen.

Hi there! I need to learn how to update this thing on a daily basis like I used to. :-) So, work has been good. I work about 5-6 hours a day which is nice. And I get my clinical experience. I hope to hear from some medical schools sometime soon. I just hope they give me some consideration. I also have to work on my optometry school applications. Tomorrow, I'll have to call places to shadow people. Or I'll just have to apply to schools where shadowing an optometrist isn't necessary. But I doubt that's even possible. So I'm going to have to bug some. Maybe when I go in to have my eyes checked again to get some glasses, I can ask some of the doctors if I can just observe them. Other than that, nothing new has been happening. I have been sleeping more though. I guess because I go to bed every night at like 2:00 a.m. and then wake up at like 7. So my body really needs its natural 8 hours of sleep. So, for New Year's Eve, I want to do something fun. But I don't know of any parties or things like that to go to. I really want to go to Chicago with some people, but we'll have to see how that goes.
Nothing else has been going on. I just go to work, take a nap, and then watch tv. I need to get a workout schedule and study schedule sometime in there as well. There's not enough hours in a day for me. :-) Well, that's all for now! Talk to you all soon!

Okay..so two weeks until my sister's wdding, and I still have tons of things to do. I have to learn the rest of our dance, which I want to be at least 3 minutes long. I also have to work on the speech, ughh..I hate writing things about me or my family, I'm better at writing about people that I have no idea about. And I also have to do my own personal errands such as finishing my personal statement, finding a job, etc. Ughhh..being a grownup is so stressful. I miss hanging out with DeVonne like I used to, but we're just too busy doing stuff. So all I'm doing now, is just waiting for dance practice to start, and then maybe I'll go to that Halloween party in Ann Arbor at the Union. We'll see. :-)

Hi there!
Okay...so this weekend was eventful. On Friday, I went to Ruthi's birthday bash, which was amazing. I brought in brownies, and there were nice little things to eat such as caramel apple pie, but I didn't have any because it looked like it could give me cavities. LOL, caramel corn, which was wonderful, deviled eggs, I had like three, I would have had more but I didn't want to be rude and eat all of them, because that probably could happen, and hummus with pita bread. :-) The night continued on with karaoke, which I sucked at but it was fun regardless. I was Lora Croft, and then out comes like two more of me.. We had to take a triple croft picture of course. Ruthi's friends are really nice! But I wouldn't expect anything else. After all, it wasn't a social fraternity party...we all know how the girls can be at those parties. On Saturday, I went to DeVonne's little sister's 4th birthday party, and she was so excited. I was sitting with the parents listening to their stories about how they yell at their kids in public and they don't want to seem like the moms on tv that cannot control their kids and want to beat them. I came home at around 6, and then talked to Chulá who said she could get me a job at Footaction in Fairlane. At this point, I'll take anything. So I'll come in there on Monday and get an application. Her boss told me to bring it back on Wednesday and we'll go over it. He needs someone that can speak in Spanish he says. So I'll give it a try. If not, then I'll go back to sitting at home and doing nothing...what I do best. Today is my full out study day for the OAT. I didn't have dance practice this week, so we'll just continue on next week. :-) Blah..my posts are so boring now.

Hi there!
So..now that I still don't have a job or anything, I've been going on Myspace and Facebook, and I'm amazed by all of the things you can find on there. I found a person on Myspace that I haven't talked to in years. I sent him a message, I wonder if he'll respond back to me. In other news, I applied to a couple jobs on Monster.com. Rajshree told me that I should call the places and check on my application status. I think I'll do that probably next week. I am also studying for the OAT that I'll be taking in December. So there are the career plans. I hope they turn out as well as I hope. MCAT scores come out in October. And I have a feeling that they won't be good. I'm afraid to check them. I am working on my sister's wedding plans, and they are coming along well. I have to finish the invitations, and work out the details for the bachelorette party as well as work on the dance for the wedding. But I must be going now to do something productive like study and work out. Whoo. I wish my life were a bit more interesting, but apparently it's not. Hah..I think things will lighten up soon.

Hi there! Okay..so last night I went to this party downtown with Erica, She'Lon and She'Lon's friend and it was sooo boring. We got there, and there were a lot of guys there, and we started dancing, but none of them wanted to dance with any girls. ALL of them looked like they were auditioning to be part of Dem Franchise Boys. Horrible. So today, I might hang out with DeVonne, or I'll just stay at home and review biology like I'm supposed to. I think it is a good idea if I study though. More important. We'll see. I am looking forward to going to Ruthi's birthday party :-) I am planning on dressing up like Kitana from Mortal Kombat, but I must get her approval first. :-) It's been a while since I've seen her. I really don't have much to say, I should be preparing essays for optometry school, and I'll call places to start shadowing. I think that's the direction I'll be headed in as opposed to medical school. Though I really want to be a doctor...I don't know if it will happen. We'll see how it goes. Determination I guess.
In other news, practice the dance that I'll be doing at my sister's wedding reception will start on September 16th! I'm excited. :-) Okay..time to go study! Bye!

Hi there! So...right now..all I've been doing is just sitting around making bracelets out of the beads that I bought from Michael's. This sucks. I hate the fact that I don't have a job, I'm not in school, and I'm just sitting. Kinda boring. I thought it'd be more exciting than this. So..I guess tomorrow I'll go to Oakwood Hospital's Human Resource Office and beg for a job. Tomorrow there is a party downtown that I'll be attending. And I think I want to go to the Panic! At the Disco concert too with some people. I'll buy the tix tomorrow. Does anyone wanna come with me?

Hi Everyone!
For some reason...I thought that this summer would be a great one. And it has been better than last year's..but I wanted this to be the best summer ever. Probably because I just graduated, and now that I'm out of college, and not in med school..I just wanted to have a good time before I had to face the fact that I don't have a career and my foot is not even near the door. Well...I have been making attempts to find a job. I applied a couple places. I'm probably going to go scoping the neighborhoods for optometry clinics so I can get some sort of experience in that field. From the looks of things, I think I'll be an optometrist. I don't think I'll be able to handle all of the work that the doctors do. And I'm really sensitive too. I was thinking about that. I cry about everything. Today, I saw the new Nickelback video..and I cried. Gosh..what is wrong with me? Well...today will consist of working out, which I told myself I'd do. Since I need to lose some poundage in the midsection. Especially if I'm going to dance for my sister's wedding. I have to pick out songs for the dance too. And get all of the dancers together after Labor Day so we can practice! Well..I'm going to the gym..then hitting the books to study for the OAT. :-) Ta ta!
