Wannabee..buzz buzz

ok so i decided that we have all heard miriam's daily schedule at least 100 times. perhaps oh dear blog reader(s?) you would like to hear the fascinating day of rachel. perhaps not, but its 2 late bc u're already reading this. my day starts significantly earlier then miriam (and thats not only bc i am an hour ahead of her). i get to wake up @ 630 in the freakin morning so that i can drive 2 my sisters and then go 2 the train and then sleep on the train and then walk to the lab. then i get to talk about china and chinese medical school w. Dr. Chen. then he randomly disappears either in2 his office or to some meeting and i have to pretend i'm busy. i'm not quite sure if the reason he always disappears is bc i am so good @ pretending i'm busy, or if he just has stuff he really needs to do. neways, this is how i pretend to be busy: last week he gave me like 10000 articles to read. so i read them. now i can pretend i'm a slow reader and read them again. except i already read them so its boring. so i sit there and space out with the pages in front of me. its super fun till i get bored of spacing out. then he comes back and i go eat my peanut butter sandwich with all the second hand smoke coming from my dental school buddies. u'd think ppl who value clean teeth wouldnt smoke, but clearly they are very selfless and they only care about OTHER ppls teeth. so nice. then i go back 2 chill w. dr chen. this usually involves him showing me something once and then disappearing again so that i can do it by myself which is super scary. like carry fat rats across the room by their tails to measure their blood pressure in a little tube. looks so nice and easy when he does it. today was the highlight of the rachel dr. chen fun. today he actually started to explain my 'project'. aka i must look like a phd rhodes scholar doctor to him bc i am so freaking scared to do this experiment. u see its not like he will sit there and hold my hand (4 obvious reasons of course..hardee har har) he just basically gave me a brief, chinese, explanation and told me that no1 has ever done this experiment so i should just look up similar experiments in the library and then modify my experiment according to my situation. OMG. thats what was running thru my head while my head was nodding in agreement to everything he said. and theres so many tubes. and the heart is so tiny. and each mouse is so expensive. and this is just too scary. but its all good. bc i will dominate this "working heart perfusion" or something like that. now i shall go look up articles online so i can prepare to have a clue what i'm doing. or a small clue. maybe?
on a happy note: i have continued in my challenge of sleep. last nite i was in bed, lights off, eyes closed by 10:11 pm. CHECK ME OUT! i am beating myself! (not literally)
