UCI Medical Center

UCI Medical Center
- working here has made me feel more "medical" than ever before. Everyone I talk to is either a physician, a fellow, a professor, a researcher, or a medical student. Makes me want to get into medical school even MORE. :(
- im not allowed to say what im researching -.- but I LOVE IT!
- i have a badge: Junior Specialist Department of Cardiology :)
- the only benefit I get is a free parking pass and I don't even use it because the lot is at the freaking Crystal Cathedral and I need to take the shuttle that comes every 45 minutes. I just park at the block and hope that i dont get caught by the security.
- I really want to get into UCI. DANG IT!
- i have my own cubicle but its hella empty. i need to decorate it.
- im hungry

going on a lunch break. this was yet another useless post. but whatevers. goodbye.

"Stained Glass Masquerade"

Is there anyone that fails
Is there anyone that falls
Am I the only one in church today feelin' so small

Cause when I take a look around
Everybody seems so strong
I know they'll soon discover
That I don't belong

So I tuck it all away, like everything's okay
If I make them all believe it, maybe I'll believe it too
So with a painted grin, I play the part again
So everyone will see me the way that I see them

Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade

Is there anyone who's been there
Are there any hands to raise
Am I the only one who's traded
In the altar for a stage

The performance is convincing
And we know every line by heart
Only when no one is watching
Can we really fall apart

But would it set me free
If I dared to let you see
The truth behind the person
That you imagine me to be

Would your arms be open
Or would you walk away
Would the love of Jesus
Be enough to make you stay

Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles to hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained glass masquerade

Winter

it smells like christmas... well actually, it was just Monday and Tuesday. when God teased us with a little rain. it was chilly and i wore my yoshi indoor slippers.



now its back to sunny extended summer in socal.

Rain at Berkeley is TOTALLY different from rain in socal.

Why i didn't like rain in Berkeley:
- umbrellas were a lost cause
- it rained sideways
- everything below my knees got wet
- i had to walk to class (my papers, books, bags got wet)
- my apt was like a fridge (I used to hear the wind seeping through the door cracks)

Why I like the rain in Socal:
- umbrellas actually help
- im usually indoors
- i have a car
- my house has a heater
- there is always sunshine after the rain

i can't wait for winter :)
