How to be a good student - in my dreams :l

Well hello there,

I haven't updated in forever because I am too busy you know...

Well here is what I have been up to session A of summer school.

1. undergraduate research for a molecular and medical pharmacology lab at the David Geffen School of Medicine (I currently have my own research project and is in the process of getting it approved for my departmental honors senior thesis)
2. taking an epidemiology class (its okay)
3. getting used to my new apartment life
4. eating organic food and using organic soap
5. unemployment

So I have decided to not do workstudy during the school year and just focus on research and my classes. I will of course continue babysitting that is about it. In my spare time, I want to blog for fun and maybe earn some money on the side. Earning money is not important to me but having a stable budget and affording to eat what I like and prepare for my future is my priority.

Here are some of my plans for the summer:

I am going to start reviewing general chemistry and organic chemistry so I can do well in my chemistry labs during the school year. This is what I will use: http://ocw.uci.edu/openchem/. The plan is to finish the general chemistry by the end of this month and start on organic chemistry asap. There has been some mixed options on when I should apply/attend medical school ex. 2017 or 2018. If I want to attend medical school in 2017, I have to start volunteering at the medical center by the end of the month and begin shadowing the pediatrician soon. Additionally I am start working on my mcat verbal reasoning section first because i am cool like that.


Things to do:
- get molecular and medical pharmacology lab approved for MCDB major: pending
- get volunteer badge + keys for lab (need to do before fall quarter): pending
- enroll into korean 1 (because learning a language is fun): pending
- email pediatrician to start shadowing soon: done
- finish training/paperwork to volunteer for maps: pending
- learn gen chem: pending
- start studying for mcat: pending
