Job Interview

I went to a job interview yesterday at Dodger’s Stadium for an Usher job. I had gone on Saturday to their job fair and got called for a second interview. I was told that out of the 7,000 people they interviewed on Saturday/Sunday, only 300 were chosen for the second interview. Out of those 300 they are interviewing, only 30 are going to be chosen. Obviously I have the odds stacked up against me getting the position, but hopefully I get it so that I can work for a full month before leaving for Mexico (I really need the money hehehe).

I’ve been looking into what medical schools to apply to and so far I’ve chosen two. I am really liking the idea of UC Davis Medical School, especially since it’s in Sacramento. I’ve never been to Sacramento and it’s close enough to family members so I won’t feel lonely. I keep looking at their program and keep getting drawn to it. Maybe if I’m lucky, I’ll get in. The second choice I’ve been looking at is UAG Medical School. Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara is located in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. I wouldn’t mind getting into that med school either because I have family in the next state over that I could probably visit. I like that in your first year you are really put out there to practice medicine and it would be a great opportunity to study Spanish. Yes, I speak Spanish and can understand/read it but I feel like I couldn’t lose with learning more Spanish, especially if I want to deal with patients in the future. Sometimes I think it would be a great asset as a medical examiner because I would be able to speak with the families of the deceased (kind of like Dr. G does on tv, but in Spanish). I’m still looking for more but haven’t really been convinced by other programs. I’m not sure if I want to go really far from family again, like I did for college. Yes, it was fun, but sometimes I just wished I could go home on the weekends like the other kids.
I’m also intrigued by the American University of the Caribbean (a former high school teacher of mine’s alma mater) but I still have to look into it more.

There’s just too many decisions to make in the next coming year but I hope to start medical school sometime soon. I wanna be a doctor dammit! hahaha.

This week sucked.

I think it was just one of the worst weeks ever, but Karma is a good thing. I found $20 in the laundry room when I went to do my laundry. It was in the machine when I opened it. So I was like woot! that's cool.

One of my friends Milton got into a car accident yesterday. I heard that it was pretty bad but luckily he came out of it ok. I think he just had a few bumps and bruises but otherwise he's fine.

Gave so many school tours today, that I thought I was going to pass out by the end. They were all good though. Everyone that I gave a tour to told the counselors that I was one of the best. I was super happy.

Went to go see Godspell tonight again. I went last night and I loved the show so I decided to go closing night. Everyone in it was so good. I wish I was a part of the musical this semester, it seemed like fun.

I saw Marissa, my fellow bird, today. She and I were in Into the Woods together and we played birds. We bonded. Kaitlyn had to pretend to be a bird and wear a beak and it was the funniest thing because she's afraid of birds. And the return of the Daisy Chain…. oh that Tom and his Daisy Chain.

I've decided that I am definitely trying out next year for the musical. I need to work on a song. If anyone has any suggestions please leave a comment on what song I should sing. I have a soprano voice so I can't sing that low.

I have so much work to do this weekend that it's not even funny. To top it off I have to go buy a dress for formal. I suck at shopping so we shall see how it goes. LIke I'm a girl but not the girly girl type. I can barely dress myself… lol. I hope I find a good dress.

All I want is for my computer to come back to me. I miss it so much like it's not even funny.

I still have to pay my cable bill but my fricking roommate hasn't given me money for it. Boo her!

All I really want to do is curl up and have Eddie pet me on the head and tell me that everything will be ok.

I talked to Dr. Sciorra a couple of weeks ago and he told me that there was no way I was getting into Medical school. I started to cry. That's all I want to do with my life. He said that it would be a waste of my money if I even applied to schools because I wasn't going to get in anyway. I don't know what to do. I am still going to take the MCAT's but I'm also gonna take the GRE's just in case. I feel like such a failure. Like all I want to do is be successful in life. And as hard as I try I just can't get over fricking chemistry. Chemistry is screwing up my life, like seriously. I have to take it over the summer in order to get a higher gpa. I will probably have around 22 credits next semester. It's gonna be insane but now it's crunch time. 1 more year to go and I am done-zo. You would think that after gaining 131 credits after this semester it would be enough… but no. I still have to take all the stupid classes.

OK well I have to go study for my Organic Chem test… laters!
