match maker

so I went interviewing again today, but I'm going to wait on posting my journal entry until after I get approval from my 4th year preceptor. this post is more about match making and recent conversations I have listened to, and not really participated in. So two of my good friends here are ridiculously infatuated with hooking people up and playing match maker. I've already seen 4 offers of finding people a gf/bf (including myself). It's kinda funny. It's the whole "living vicariously" through others bit. heh.. the word vicarious reminds me of Tool (the band). that song is great, although I don't think it's called vicarious, but they say it a lot in the song. never mind, I lied, I just looked it up, and the song is called vicarious. back on topic. to me, dating people in my med school class is kinda iffy. I'm afraid of all the drama and bad stuff that might ensue. Cliques have already been formed, and unless you're dating someone within your clique, won't that be kinda weird? as in... maybe you're gonna study together, study w/ your respective cliques? or go off on your own? or one person gets absorbed into a different clique, and there's a migration? won't friends feel like they are being ignored? who knows, it's all very weird to me. too much drama, and the dynamic is weird but maybe I'm just thinking too much about it. I never really wanted to date a computer science girl (because a girl that is into computer science just seems kinda odd to me...). not that there's anything wrong with it, but come on! you people must also think it's kinda weird. I also never really wanted to date someone that's in the same field as I am, I'm not sure why. This is another topic that could be explored, but maybe talking about it in real life.

so maybe not a medical student (I said maybe, it's still possible...), but dental students on the other hand... I was working yesterday and this really cute dental student came by the desk. I mean.. if I saw her in my class, I probably would have tried to approach her already. anyways, I saw her again when I was walking down the street going to grab lunch w/ some friends. she was standing on the sidewalk with her dental school friends and our eyes met. it was kinda weird cause we just kinda looked at each other, a pole got in the way, and we were still kinda eyeing each other, and I wanted to say hi or wave or something, but I just kinda grinned awkwardly and kept going. *@#$!!!! terrible. I wanted to say hi and introduce myself on the way back, but by then they were already gone. These are the moments when I wished my inhibitions did not exist. you know those moments. you think twice about something, and your mind is racing, and you don't act on it. well, if I see her again, I will introduce myself and try to strike up a conversation. and now my mind is drawing a blank because I've been thinking too much about what to write. I'm going out to party with my class tonight because we just finished 2 tests this week. it should be fun.
