Detours

This blog is taking a detour--visit here for a more-artsy-but-still-mediocre experience :D

Speaking of detours, the hot spot on my face took one. In the beginning of the summer, little volcanoes started appearing on the right side of my face, but recently they've migrated to the left and went all the way up to the upper left side of my forehead. I am fairly certain that this is the first time this many pimples took refuge on my face--hair follicles, how could you?!

Resurrection

Got inspired by Hallie's golden blog, baagoesthelam.wordpress.com. I can't be as cool as her, but it's okay since this is only for my personal enjoyment :D

Okay so I just downloaded the Blogger app so I don't have to fuss about connecting my phone to my computer (for pics mainly) but it hasn't grown on me yet. Like how am I supposed to add captions and resize pics? We'll see what happens.

Let's start from the present and work backward as to what happened to me today:

A braless sister studying for Orgo

Hehe. Jamie gets distracted very easily, but my occasional harsh reminders about GPAs get her back on track. Koa was on the table next to her textbook on the right (because I put him there), passionately licking his lower half, but of course once Kyong arrived he couldn't stay. While Koa's tongue was busy, I was busy reading the book Under a Painted Sky by Stacey Lee. Noe was talking to me two days ago about books that don't need meanings attached to them, and I read this one in that manner. Usually, I like to take a step back and try to figure out what the author is saying between the lines, but it was nice not doing that this time around. It's like my pre-John Green phase (a phase which I will never grow out of since he's literally affected me), when I just read books to escape. Honestly, I'm saying these things like my feelings towards books are clear-cut, but it should be known--to whom? Eh, well Mindy Kaling in her Dartmouth years called whoever she was talking to in her comics"shmen," so maybe that's who I'm addressing--that I am basically a collection of scribbles so I didn't always read books the same way and am subject to change.

This afternoon was spent at Dr. Mina Ganapathy's office in order to fill out Bowdoin's health forms that were supposedly due July 17, 2015. Heh. I spent over an hour at that office, and most of the time was spent eavesdropping on the workplace drama going on. Apparently, one of the workers just left the office one day and didn't come back for a month! The obviously peeved doctor reprimanded said person (it was unclear if that person was present or not...) since "you can't expect to leave for an entire month and come back with your job waiting for you." Yikes. Oo, I also learned from a giant poster in front of me that being Asian makes me at a higher risk for osteoporosis (haoles, you too!). The actual physical exam was what you would expect--holy shit I lost three pounds and the doctor's chicken scratch makes it look like I grew too! Dreams can come true, ya'll. Lol for my vision test I was wearing outdated contacts so I had 20/25 instead of 20/20. Being a great sister, Jamie gave me boba from Mr. Tea when she picked me up!

Before this doctor's appointment, I was just lying on my bed reading more of the book I mentioned earlier. I did the whole "I'll stop reading in ten minutes" over and over starting from when I woke up at 8:30 until I left for my appointment at 11:30-ish.
