heading into labor day weekend

so unfortunately, it is the last week of the summer. yes, tomorrow is the start of the US Open and labor day is quickly approaching. been such a good summer. very quick, very busy, very exciting but also very sad in thinking about what chapters have ended in my life.

as I work on my secondary medical school applications, I think about what's in store for the future. there is so much to look forward to but at the same time I'm a bit terrified. just hoping for the best, i guess. it will all work out in the end, i know. but it's really easy to just say that....

gone to carolina in my mind....

so it's been such a good summer. done some amazing and fun things and i don't want summer to end at all. but now i realized it is coming to a close when I heard that it is fall fest right now. yes, at this moment, people are partying and reuniting in chapel thrill for another wonderful year and i am not there. =(

thinking about it, i shouldn't be so sad. i took fall fest and everything at carolina for granted for most of college. and now that i know everyone is back and i'm not..it's something i don't know i'm ready for. i've been so stressed out about work and med school apps that i forgot that i'm graduated. and now i'm so ready to go back and be in that little slice of heaven that was home for 4 years.

so those 4 years went by way too fast and the next years will go by faster. i remember this very event last year when i was sooo excited to be a senior, seeing all these ppl who were my unc family for the last 4 years. it was as if it was yesterday when we were listening to rat jackson one of the many times. every fall was soo exciting and it never ended through springtime when we had to leave for summer.

but carolina will always be in my mind esp. this week. at least i'll have my carolina wall montage in my room to remind me of tarheel country and the carolina blue blood in my veins....

helllooo!

so it's been a while...i've been busy as a working girl! (minus taking any sort of ferry. lol). i'm becoming closer to a real person..going to work...doing lots of productive things in lab..coming home and going to the gym...going to bed and doing it all over again. after 3 weeks or so, its no longer novel so i'm trying to truly transition into my new life after college. the true test is after the summer, when there is cold weather and not as many things to do on the weekends. That's when i'll actually explore dc. ;)

Today, i went to happy hour which was very fun. good times all around. hung out with the roomies and other IRTAs. i think it's a preview to this upcoming year in general where I'm learning about work and lab and science as well as how i really spend my free time. hopefully i can fit tennis into the mix.

on that note, US Open is on its way. just a month in my future and i shall be experiencing the tournament that is better than christmas! fo real! unfortunately, i know spending money on the legg mason is not worth it so i shall have a countdown to the only time i spend signif time in queens. lol.

i do really miss nyc esp. since every1 is home after graduation. but i shall be back soon enough. =)
