the bottom line is that step 2, aka the USMLE boards exam step 2, aka the theres-better-ways-i've-spent-half-a-grand-exam, aka THIS FRIDAY from 8am until forever, is coming up soon. everyday has been the same. no, seriously. wake up, turn on CNN, think "wtf", turn on mtv, watch a mike jones/missy elliott/papa roach video, sing/dance/swear, study. eat sometime during the day. maybe night if i've been supermotivated to study that long. feel guilty about doing things that aren't studying, i.e. eating or taking a shower. wonder how i'm going to do on this part of the exam. wonder if i should stop thinking about how well(?) i'll do and just fucking study. either way, it's going to be over this friday, late afternoon. maybe early afternoon if i drink enough coffee/lose faith. i wasn't too thrilled about my step 1 score, so i'm hoping to kill this one.
it has been so nice and sunny and warm and i am terrible studying outside because i get so distracted. sucks. also my ipod holds about a 2 hour charge now so that won't fly (and while i'm complaining about that, i'd also like to add that my cell phone holds a charge as long as i'm not using it. less than an hour of use drains the "battery" and gives me the LOW BATTERY POWER signal.)
i am definitely looking forward to spending some much needed time in the sun in chicago next weekend ($22 for two days! score! i've had dinners that cost more than that! shit, i've had GAS TANKS that cost more than that. FUCK. driving to chicago will be more expensive than the weekend. FUCK (madison, are you going? hit me on the hip 281-330-8004)). at this point i've spent so much time indoors studying and not baking out in the sun that i'm whiter than a lot of white people. THAT IS JUST EMBARASSING/illegal. anywhoo, i'm looking forward to somewhat reclaiming the parting gasps of a social life. and taking pictures with my oh-so-neglected camera. i'm also looking forward to (in no particular order) prefuse 73, diplo, four tet, jean grae (i know, i missed her in madison a while ago), dfa1979, out hud, broken social scene.. actually that sort of is in a particular order. there you have it folks.
so here's what's important. tomorrow slim thug's album will be released.

I'm guessing you've already lined up accomidations for this weekend, but you're always welcome to stay at my place in Chicago.
WRT Step II I recommend frequent smoke breaks. It really helps the 9 hours pass less painfully.

thanks a mil, dan. stv already offered me his place, i guess i'll decided between you two based on who's more popular as of friday.
re: step 2 smoke breaks. for real? isn't that, like, WRONG? either way i'm really trying to put that "era" behind me. that era being the last 7 years or so.
i plan on bringing plenty of No-Doz, ibuprofen, tylenol, bottled water, and i was thinking maybe some lunchables.
jesus, 9 hours. jesus.
