i am just going to finish this crappy project

day 26- what you think about your friends?
let's be cliche and call them wonderful. it's the truth. since the summer, i've grown distant from many "friends" and the ones who have stuck by have been drama-free and a ton of fun to be around.

day 27- why are you doing this 30 day challenge?
because i like projects, too bad this one ended up sucking.

day 28- a picture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then?

october 25, 2009:
being silly in the ct surgery lab

october 30, 2010:
at school being studious at 2am

go ahead, call me a nerd. don't think i've changed much. i guess i'm a bit more dedicated to school? (but still partying just as hard).

day 29- in this past month, what have you learned?
quite a bit on axonal specification (ha!). no, i'm kidding--that'd be a lame answer.
uhm, around mid-october i let go of that desire to be in a relationship, which has made me a lot more independent and happy.

day 30- who are you? 

a female by the name of yacki. yep.

DONE. crappy project.

planner, keys, some sort of reading material, cigarettes (quitting nov. 2!), chapstick, water, almonds.

oh, this is a juicy one

30 day blog project
day 20- someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future?
ready for a bunch of adjectives?
a person who is:
  • secure
  • creative (in any way, shape or form)
  • intelligent, but modest about it
  • opinionated, but in a laid back sorta way
  • ambitious (whether it's completing an artwork, album or novel if that someone is pursuing such things or completing medical school/law school/business school/something) 
  • adventurous
  • loving, but not overwhelmingly so
  • far from superficial

    whatever, four in a row.

    30 day blog project
    day 16- another picture of yourself

    day 17- someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why?
    an archeologist who excavates hindu temple ruins because i love south asian history and architecture.

    day 18- plans/dreams/goals you have?
    plans: move out soon; prep for mcats.
    dreams: create/do something meaningful during this lifetime.
    goals: get into a good phd or medical school; return to india.

    day 19- nicknames you have; why do you have them?
    yack attack - it rhymes, which is catchy i'm guessing. and several derivates of yacki, like yacko, yack, yackster -- no real meaning behind them. i guess i've never had any meaningful nicknames. sad face.

    on my sick day home from work

    i woke up with a fever and a headache, which blows because i really wanted to see two door cinema club tonight -- a part of my crazy cmj weekend. le sigh. instead, i spent my day sleeping, listening to the bands that i want to check out this weekend & whipping out the guitar i bought when i was in high school. i tried tuning it according to the youtube video, but i might be tone deaf because shortly after attempting the youtube chords instructional video, it sounded nothing like it.


    this blog project isn't nearly as fun as 26 things, which explains why i go days without updating it. 

    30 day blog project
    day 11- another picture of you and your friends
    claudia, kyle, bilal 
    and some guy whose name i forget.
    williamsburg, july 2010.

    day 12- how you found out about tumblr and why you made one?
    considering this is blogspot, i will replace "tumblr" accordingly...hm, blogspot pretty much replaced livejournal a few years back (c. 2005-6?). all of my friends started using this site and some of us (me, arv, kat, olek and aileen) started up this blog called rough draught, which is no longer very active. around 2008, i decided to start posting more exclusive stuff onto my personal blog, which i have made private since.

    day 13- a letter to someone who has hurt you recently
    i wish i'd done things differently in the beginning. 

    day 14- a picture of you and your family
    mom's birthday dinner. 
    sanford's, october 2010.

    apparently, i am very bad at keeping up with this project.

    30 day blog project 
    day 08- short term goals for this month and why
    - finish the corrections / i've been reading it since july. that's a really long time...
    - buy a record player / i want to start collecting vinyl.
    - finish the roll i have in aileen's action sampler / because i want to.
    - start thinking about my two term papers / school demands this.

    day 09- something you’re proud of in the past few days
    - i drank for thirteen hours the other day (ok, i guess i shouldn't be too proud of this).
    - (something serious?) an A on a midterm.

    day 10- songs you listen to when you are happy, sad, bored, hyped, mad
    i could technically list one that covers all of these emotions -- do make say think's "soul and onward," but i'm guessing i should list one song per emotion, so here goes:
    • happy = lil wayne vs. the office theme - "office musik" (clockwork edit)
    • sad = broken social scene - "lover's spit"
    • bored = animal collective - "leaf house"
    • hyped =  just about any justice song.
    • mad = probably something i'd listen to while i was sad.

    30 day blog project

    day 01-05

    30 day blog project 

    day 01- a recent picture of you & 15 interesting facts about yourself


    1. i used to spell my name jackie instead of yacki because i was ashamed of it.
    2. i love the midwest.
    3. i wanted to major in art history, but instead chose biochemistry to appease my mom.
    4. i did cancer research from the ages of 15 to 18.
    5. this is the longest (4 months) i’ve been single since i started dating at age 14.
    6. i am one of those people who will leave books unfinished if they can’t sufficiently engage me.
    7. i’m confused about my future (medical degree vs. doctorate in biomedical science).
    8. i took out a ten year indian visa in 2008 because i was dating an indian guy and his mom told me it was the best deal. this visa will be valid for eight more years, so i need to return at least before i’m 31.
    9. i am very attracted to rachel maddow.
    10. i sometimes wonder how i’d turn out if my dad didn’t pass away when i was 12.
    11. yesterday, in the middle of a patient biopsy, i thought to myself — i love my job.
    12. i have an older sister, who is 28, and i don’t think we’re alike at all.
    13. i like to write stories when i am very drunk.
    14. i love lyrics and (if they’re profound) always find a way to associate them with something or someone.
    15. …fifteen things seems like a lot of things to list, so i will leave this one blank.

    day 02- the meaning behind your tumblr [blogspot] name
    inspired by do make say think's "soul and onward."
