Oh noes! Snowwwww!

So we finally have our first real snowfall of the season. I think Mary jinxed us because 30mins ago, she said "It's been such a nice and mild winter so far. Didn't even get any snow!" -_-

I sure hope most of it melts by the time I need to walk to work in the morning. I don't reallly want to eat asphault at the beginning of my work day...

Frigid Blast Welcoming Us Back Home.

Hey guys!! Brian and I miss everyone already! We were so happy to see all you guys and spend time with our dear family and friends. We had so much fun during our vacation! So much that the first day of school was a total drag. Plus they didn't even bother to ease my class back in. They just cruelly threw us back into a schedule that is even more hectic than before. With that said, I won't have anytime to post up pictures on here/fB until maybe this weekend at the earliest. Maybe even after Martin Luther King Day. Sorry!!

Anyways, going from awesome California weather to Boston bone chilling weather is not the least bit fun. It was 28 degrees during noon. Now it's almost 8 PM here, and it's 17 degrees. It's so cold that the news called the weather a "FRIGID BLAST." At least I finally get to use the earmuffs Leanne bought me. They are so cute!!

My Christmas gift from Mary...

...Technically, she "got" me this after she found out I ordered the seat and then claimed it was my Christmas gift from her. Cheater. :P The steering wheel and pedals are from Karen and Jae and I love my new set up! I've been logging quite a bit of hours on GT5 with this setup and I'm not exactly sure I'm ready to go back to LA this Friday. I might miss my new toys!!!

But I heard Santa thought I was a good little boy this year so he might send me one more present via UPS on Tuesday... ;)

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Thanksgiving felt different this year because we weren't around family. I even got teary while watching Home Alone during the part where Kevin goes "Mommmm??? Mommm??" on Christmas morning because no one was home yet. Still, we were around friends and Zack's family, which was very nice. We were all happy to help out, so his mom gave the Tufts people an apple pie to make. It turned out pretty good even though us future doctors had no idea what we were doing. I even made a pretty star design on the pie crust, but I miscalculated so the star is a bit off. >.< Anyways, His mom's cooking was so delicious! Even though I don't like turkey that much, her turkey was really tender and yummy. Thank you so much for having us Zack!

Zack had this really awesome cat named Speck. He loves to hang out on people's shoulder/neck. It's like having a cat scarf around your neck!!

Well, I hope everyone had a really awesome holiday. We miss you guys lot and will see you in a few weeks!!

Mmm Gingerbread Latte

I love winter time @ Starbucks. I normally don't drink coffee that much because it gives me a major headache, but this drink makes it so worth it!! Anyways, I got my first pair of scrubs this week. My scrubs are gigantic!! I could fit another me inside easily!! The smallest size the linen department had was a size small =*(. I also started Gross Anatomy. o_O I thought cadavers would make me feel all sick and woozy, but it didn't. Phew!! I still haven't cut into it yet because I am a bit of a germaphobe and don't want decaying juices flying at me yet. Lunchtime is right after Anatomy, and some people actually eat their lunch in their grimy scrubs. Pretty disgusting...

New Last Name

A few years ago at Josie/Tim's Wedding, Brian couldn't find my name card at first. After a few tries, he finally figured out that this anonymous "Mary Tran" assigned to our table was really me! We think that they forgot my last name and just picked one of the most common Vietnamese last names. Today, we got a wedding invitation in the mail that was quite amusing as well.

Brian said I should just change my last name to his to make things simpler LOL! Maybe in the future when I actually have time to plan a wedding. Okay back to studying!
