I've been in college for four years. When I entered, I assumed I'd be graduating this year...but I'm going for another. It's weird seeing my classmates graduate while I'm still hanging back, but I don't really mind. I'm a neurobio major now, so I have nothing left but biology classes, a typical US history class, and a Texas government class left to go. I like biology classes fairly well.

I spent this last semester busy studying for the MCAT. It went well. Not spectacular, but med-school worthy, which is enough for me, especially since I only studied for the biology section. *cough* I got the results on my birthday, which could have made my 22nd go well or badly. Luckily it was the former. My priest texted me and asked if I'd like lunch, so we went. Not an eventful birthday, but nice regardless. I expected as much--once the 21st is gone, there isn't that much to look forward to beyond getting older.

The end of the semester was fairly busy too. A friend of mine that I've known for two years, now boyfriend, moved down since he got accepted into graduate school at the University of Texas. He's living with me and the family at the house during the summer, and then come fall the two of us are moving into our apartment. All of this was my parent's idea, which is weird considering how conservative they used to be regarding these things. He's almost been here a month, and it's all going pretty well. He's looking for a job anywhere, and I'm looking for something medical-related. A part of me still feels a little odd dating someone post-Eric's death, but I suppose that will always sort of linger regardless.

In the meantime, I've been rewatching Dragonball Z, and doodled a Piccolo and Vegeta. I'll have to scan those. I'm also sculpting, which is something I haven't tried since middle school art class. I'm using golden brown Sculpey and copper wire for a frame, and working slowly on punching it into the shape of the villain from my novel. For a first try, it's turning out fairly well. Looks...humanoid, anyway. Speaking of my novel, I spent many hours rereading what I've written so far so I can jump back into writing it. I hadn't realized I'd written so much over the years.

One of my birthday presents was Dissidia for the PSP. The dialogue is horrible, but it's still a lot of fun to button mash someone to death. I've been playing through Cloud's story. Big surprise, I know. Boyfriend has a PS3, and had bought FFVII and FFVIII from the online store, so they are now on the PSP as well. I plan on replaying them sometime soon for old time's sake, though I may get particularly emotional with a VII replay. Considering how I know the majority of you either directly or indirectly due to that game, I can hardly imagine something that has impacted my life as much as a single game. And to think my parents almost didn't let me play it because it had magic in it. Yes, these same parents that have now given my boyfriend a room in the house and suggested we get an apartment together. I guess people do change.

I really need to take pictures of things and do a picture post. I saved a Betta fish from Walmart back on St. Patrick's Day, so naturally his name is Patrick. I want to post pictures of him if only to show off his prominent green lips, which just look hilarious. We also got some new chicks, and 58 baby quail. The quail are so tiny you can hold five in your hand easily at once. Nothing thrilling, but they're fun to look at. Maybe I'll have something of a sculpture to show off soon too.

Next project: Medical school applications. o_o
