Week 16 Update

Can you believe it? We've been here three and a half months already and it feels way longer than that. Mary and I both miss Socal very much and everyone we've left behind. But guess what? We're going to be back in a little less than three months for vacation! YES! Get me out of here! :P

Just wanted to update the blog and since I have a little free time today, I guess I'm going to ramble a little bit about what's been going on here. My work week is done and I get one day off from my evil boss, Satan. The reason why I call him by that name is he's worse than Meryl Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada." Don't confuse that movie with the tv soft porn movie "The Devil Wears Nada", starring Meryl Strips (guessing the name since I never watched it, but that probably is the character's name. I should ask Mary though since she accidentally watched it when she thought it was the legit, blockbuster movie). Anyway, I'm pretty sure my boss eats babies too.

An update on Mary? As many can guess, she's studying her butt off for a test this coming Monday. What's worse is this past week was a bunch of season premieres for the shows she loves to watch. Lucky for her, we have DVR and she'll have some time to catch up after her test.

Well, that's that. But here's a little bonus for you guys! For those of you who forgot what we look like, here's me after a 10 hour shift at work:

And here's Mary:

Hahaha! She was taking a nap when I was trying to take a picture of her drooling, but she quickly moved when she knew what I was doing. Oh well, I have 3.5 more years to snap candid shots of her napping. :)

UPS package?

I'd like to start off by apologizing for the lack of updates as of late. With me pulling 60-72 hours a week, I tend not to want to do much when I get home from work. In fact, on my day off, I like to do my best impersonation of Jabba the Hut. Meaning, I sit on my couch like a big fat slob and not move unless I have to.

Anyway, the reason why I'm posting today is because I got a lovely package from the UPS man at work. The BEST FRIEND EVER sent me a care package since he's heard me whine and complain about how I miss driving my sports cars and how I wish I could still visit race tracks every so often. So this is what he got me!

SO AWESOME! I've been meaning to get this for a while now, but Jae helped me take the big step and ordered it for me! Hahahaha. Nah, he called me telling me how Logitech sent him a 50% off coupon and that if I wanted it, I could finally apply it to this sweet set up. Is that not the most awesome friend ever? THANK YOU JAE! I was going to play a bit tonight, but I'm already way past my bedtime and I have to be at work early in the morning. Maybe I'll pull an all nighter after work and sleep through my day off! That sounds pretty fun to me. :)

Are you kidding me?!

First there was a tornado in Massachusetts in May right before we came to sign our lease. Then on Tuesday, there was an earthquake, and I found out there's a fault line in Boston. Apparently, I moved from one fault line to another. >.> Now Hurricane Irene is heading toward Boston and is expected to hit the city on Sunday. Seriously? What is going on with Mother Nature and Boston?! Or maybe I'm just bad luck... really bad luck! After all, there was a tsunami warning when we were in Hawaii and a major earthquake and tsunami in Japan a day before we were suppose to fly out.

Anyways, I am done with the first week of med school. Even though it has only been a few days of lecture, I'm already overwhelmed by the massive amount of materials that I need to memorize. Plus, they threw us into interviewing patients already without much direction. My classmate found this YouTube video below, and it's totally how we all felt! Oh how I miss the summer of just MBA classes, which I thought was hard, but I was wrong. Oh so wrong!! I'm beginning to rethink my decision to pursue a MD/MBA...

First Summer Down...

This week has been torturous. I had an accounting final and two presentations to prepare for. Not fun!! I've learned that in the future I'm going to hire an accountant! Good thing I did not major in it. Would have probably failed out of school. Anyways, I'm happy that the first summer of MBA classes is finally over. Four day weekend... here I come before med school starts. Weee!!

So what to do on my first day of freedom? Brian's busy at work now, which kind of stinks. I was getting use to coming home from class and having someone there to make me lunch and wash the dishes. Sigh!! Just when Brian was making progress on being domesticated. Oh well... it's all for the best. At least I will get to shop again soon. Bahaha!!

Oh yea.. Where was I? Before Brian left for work, he gave me the okay to buy him ties at Macys.com for work, so I decided to sneak in some shoes too. Oops x 4!! >.< Looking around, I noticed the apartment needed to be tidied up a bit. I decided to clean and organize the whole place! I have just been so busy lately that it started to get a bit dusty, especially since it's been cool enough to use the window fan instead of the darn AC. After I was done, I took a nice long nap until Brian came home from work. It felt so awesome after being sleep deprived this week. Okay, time to get some goodies at H Mart. Nom nom nom...

Little update:

The apartment management just finished installing our new windows. Rejoice! Double pane windows! Now the noises from Commonwealth Ave are just small murmurs and it doesn't get as hot in the apartment.

But as much joy as I thought I'd have with this new addition, I'm totally not digging the small wood particles left by the install. Don't get me wrong, Paul and his helper were awesome on cleaning up as much as they could. All the big chunks and most of the dirt was swept up, but there's still the miniature splinters left everywhere. They feel like little razor blades when they're against your skin! Mary and I have spent hours trying to clean every surface in the apartment, but I guess I have to clean everything yet again. I think that until we do another complete clean up, I'm going to be walking around, randomly wincing in pain for the next couple of days. People on the street are going to think I'm nuts...

A little something from California...

A little surprise from California came today in the mail. 'Lette Macarons!! Thanks Leanne for sending such a sweet present. They are so yummy and colorful!! ^_^


Also, we forgot to post these presents from Jae and Karen from awhile ago. We were still settling in at that point. Thank you for the housewarming gifts! We use the Clocky as a timer for cooking now! <3

I am SO ready for the fall season!

Look at what I got from Amazon today! So who's with me to visit the TD Garden???
