An anniversary, an old post, and insomnia...

So... it's been 8 days since I wrote the following post. I don't know why I didn't actually post it, but it was saved as a draft. Nothing extraordinary, but it *is* 8 am, and I *did* wake up early as hell (6 am) on account of I've got a headache the size of Montana. (((sidenote: I realize that severity of pain cannot normally be expressed in terms of square footage of a large State, but I'm cool enough to pull it off.))) Because of this throbbing in my cranium, I thought it would be easier to copy/paste the old stuff and add to it instead of actually rewriting the riveting Mariana life update, ya know? K here it goes:

Oh blog world... I've been too busy for you lately.

So this is week 2 or 3 of my summer, and I don't have much to say for myself. I didn't write my paper yet (don't even have the research done), I haven't found a place to live for next year, and I haven't packed up my stuff for the move back home (July 7th is the official date). I've just been hanging out and hanging around, playing video games with my friends, going out, and cooking. I *am* having fun, though. And what's more important than having fun??? Nothing.
I want to spend my last two weeks here relaxing and enjoying wonderful DC, but it seems as though I'll spend them the way I spent the rest of the year: balancing working all day and partying whenever given the chance. Perhaps my month in Miami will be more relaxing... Then it's on to Gainesville/med school, where I can count on being incredibly busy for the next 4 years. I'm 2 parts excited, 1 part nervous about my new adventure. UF is a great school, I just hope my classmates, most of whom are Florida residents, don't suck.

Anyway, I have nothing of importance to blog about. My life is good but messy, fun but complicated. But it's nothing blog-worthy or bloggable. And so, I leave you with some pictures. Soon I'll write a tribute to the wonderful G-town SMP program. Or maybe I won't.
-The End

And here I sit, today, on this lovely 28th day of June. What has changed in the past week? My future roomate found an apartment, I packed and sent most of my stuff home, and I kind of, sort of started my paper. I'm still not doing anything remarkable with my life, and it feels strange and wonderful. Life is still good, less messy, still fun, and slightly more complicated. Sigh.

Sadly, my one year blog anniversary came and went. I made this blog one year and a couple of days ago with the intention of logging my wonderful adventures in Lebanon. Limited access to the internet and other factors (ie having cooler things to do) caused me to slack. For no good reason whatsoever, I decided to keep the blog and talk about my life and opinions. Poor you. And, for some odd reason, I just felt a wave of sleepiness. Time to try to get an extra hour or five of sleep before I begin a long day of scientific journal reading/paper writing. Don't be too jealous.
