You know how sometimes people on your friend's list post about stuff going on in their life and all of a sudden you think, "Wait a minute? Since when is she working THERE? Since when is she dating him? Since when?" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy my response below, erase my answers putting yours in their place then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration! One-word answers seldom help anyone out. :)

1. First Name: Lulu! But I will be known as Lexie in CA

2. Age: 18

3. Location: Northern VA (and San Diego for school)

4. Occupation: Student! :D Hired at Princeton Review (for tutoring)

5. Significant Other: Single (and fab?)

6. Kids: None

7. Brothers/Sisters: I have a younger sister (2 years younger) named Fifi. She is both very different and very similar to me.

8. Pets: I don't have any pets. I fail at keeping live things alive.

9. List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:
1. College -- I'm currently a Human Biology major at UCSD. I plan on going to medical school, and as of today, everything in my life will now revolve around getting into medical school.
2. Health -- I guess this isn't so big anymore, but it's always going to be big in my life. Last November, my kidneys shut down, and I was hospitalized for several weeks. I was on dialysis, more than ten medications, etc. Any symptom you come up with, I probably experienced it at some point. I've been out and recovering since, but it's still a big presence in my life because I always have to be careful.
3. Friends and love -- Yeah, I love my pals. :) Names to look out for are Sherwin, Jesse, Jeff, and Corinna (I probably mention those most?). Friends at UCSD are my suitemates Laura, Cathy, Ann, Gayaneh, and maybe some others will pop up.

10. Where and for what did you go to school for? I am going to UC San Diego (in La Jolla, CA) to study... medicine!

11. Parents: Oh, this is hella complicated. I have a mom. I have a biological father who I barely know. He lives in California and is a doctor (sound familiar?). I had a psychological father whom I thought was my real dad for the majority of my life and recently passed away. I have a 'step' father named Charles who is living with us now. Yep. We don't like talking about family issues in my world.

12. Who are some of your closest friends?
Oh, I thought I already did this. -_-;; Sherwin and Jeff Zhao are unavoidably my soul friends. Jesse is a very, very good friend. Corinna and Olivia are probably my closest girl friends. Ann is my roommate, and we are the same people. Laura and Cathy are my hoes.
