Missionary Orthopod in the Making

Hey everyone!!! It truly has been a trying week. Because I got nothing accomplished during spring break, and I had to practically kill myself to get back on track. It seems that just as soon as I get money, it gets sucked away by different things. I just got a $189 check for the 2 […]

Lately I’ve been thinking of changing my major to political science or business. A major where I can actually get sleep. A major that doesn’t require my all to get good grades. The past two weeks have been mixed with blessings and stress. I have a 10 page term paper to write in U.S. History […]

Today was pretty cool. I started out kinda of late because I was up late watching ER and other shows. The episode was pretty good last night. Not much really happened today. I was watching CNN today and they were talking about something pretty disturbing to me. They were commenting on how IBM is being […]

I’m not sure why, but I think that I’m losing momentum. I really don’t feel like being in class, if its not a science class. The science classes require so much attention that the other classes are just major annoyances. I know medical schools want their applicants to be well rounded, but I really wish […]

My my my, it sure has been a long time. I started my second semester on January 10th, so I’m about 2 weeks into my second semester. Honestly this semester has held a plethora of new experiences. I’m off campus now, so I drive to school everyday now. I live about 10 minutes away, by […]

  Wow, my first semester of my sophomore year is over!!! I didn’t think I would make it through this year because my classes were going to be so crazy, but I did, by the grace of God. My grades were posted, and they are…….(drum roll please,lol): Organic Chemistry = A Organic Chemistry Lab= A […]

  Two finals down, one more to go. Today I had my Physics final and my Microbiology final. The Microbiology final was first and I was a little bit frazzled when I woke up this morning. After going to bed at 12 a.m. and waking up at 4 a.m., I continued to study Microbiology. I […]

I still have a headache from my last post……….yeah ok. Things have been going well so far. Guys, I have really been PROCRASTINATING, and this is surely not the time to do it. You know what has caused this horrible procrastination. My ridiculous desire to buy another cell phone (I want the Motorola Mpx, look […]

Man, the Lord is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY (get my point?) good. You guys of course read my post about the Organic Chemistry test that I had on Wednesday, and how he made it open book. Even though it was open book, that actually ended up hindering me, […]

I’m so sorry for not writing for so long, but it’s been a rough week. Last Friday through Tuesday was college days at my school. That’s where highschool seniors come on campus and check it out, stay with people and campus and decide whether Oakwood is for them. My sister came (she’s a senior in […]

Today was pretty interesting. I don’t know if I told you, but I ran for office in the Oakwood Bio-Medical Association (OBMA) (the equivalent of a pre-med and research club combined). I ran for public relations and I won, so that was pretty cool. Today, guess who came to do a presentation at the OBMA […]

The week is over and the Sabbath is coming, and I feel a peace that is almost indescribable. This week was pretty rough but I got through. Thursday I was in Lab basically all day, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. I wanted to study but I ended up talking to my advisor about my […]

I got a 71% on my Organic Chemistry test. I was a little mad at first, but I know that that is part of life. I’d be very stupid to think that this year is going to go like last year. Our organic chemistry teacher allows us to correct the problems on our tests and […]

Well, I had my Organic Chemistry test today, and I have to admit that I was caught off guard on a lot of the questions. I mean I studied tremendously for the test, but the way he worded the questions threw me off a little. Even though I don’t feel good about the Organic chemistry […]

Someone left me a comment saying “Where did you go?”. AWWWHHH, I FEEL LOVED! Lol, just kidding. For real though thanks for looking out for me guys. It has been an interesting week. The last time I wrote I was about to fly home for my birthday, which was Sept. 4 (last Saturday). Well that […]

Well, this post is of a happier tone than my last one. We got our first homework assignment in physics graded and given back to us today, and a lot of people got their feelings hurt. It was out of 22 points and a lot of people got 11s or lower. It’s not because they […]

Well, I took my first Organic Chemistry quiz today….and I completely failed it. I mean I got the biggest ZERO you could get on a 10 point quiz. It didn’t fail it because it was too hard, I didn’t fail it because I didn’t study, I failed it because I subtracted “24 – 18” wrong. […]

I truly do love Tuesdays. I don’t have any classes on Tuesday and it is such a relief after being blasted by all my classes on Mondays. I woke up nice and early and made it to breakfast (my girlfriend has been complaining that she wants to eat with me at breakfast, so I made […]

Everything has been going pretty well since I last posted. Let me try to recall some stuff that has happened so far. Last Thursday was a pretty good day. Since there aren’t any labs the first week at my school I didn’t have to go to my physics lab that is on Thursday from 8 […]

Wassup everyone!!! My first day of college being a sophomore went well. My day started off with breakfast at 7:00 a.m….. my god was it HORRIBLE; I just had grapes. My first class was Microbiology with Dr. Schmidt. She is a very eccentric lady, who didn’t go into medicine because it was too boring for […]

  I know that they say that everything God does it right, but sometimes I just don’t understand them at all. What’s up everyone!!! Well today is Tuesday, the night before my first day of school. Let me tell you all what has happened since I last posted. Well, I flew into Maryland on Friday […]

Wassup everyone. I’m currently writing this entry in my chair in my house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I flew out of Cincinnati at 5:55 and arrived in Maryland at 7:30’ it feels good to be home. Research is over, and I have to admit that although I hated it, it was still a very good experience. You never know […]

Today was a really cool day. Today I ran into Agena Davenport, a just graduated Oakwood student who will be starting the University of Cincinnati med school this upcoming week!!! Tuesday is their orientation day, and Friday is their white coat ceremony. She was really happy to see me and the other Oakwood students here […]

I think that I’m going to stop visiting the Pre-Allopathic forum section of the Student Doctor site. I’m going to stop visiting the MCAT forum too. People are way to stressed out on those forums. It really doesn’t make any sense. In the MCAT forum, they ask questions about every little thing, and me who […]

I’ve been neglecting to focus my entries towards premed students. So I’m going to give some advice to other premed students now. Do research. Even though I don’t like it at all, they pay you a lot of money, and it helps you to unequivocally decide between medschool or gradschool. So, I’ve been doing research […]
