Good Times
Monday, March 26, 2007
The open mic went well. I sang "Animals Were Gone" by Damien Rice, "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Rae, and "You Were Meant for Me" by Jewel. There was a huge crowd this time, but it was still nice.
New York was great. It was good to catch up with some friends. The gf and I went to the Bodies Exhibition. If you haven't seen it, you should! It's so awesome. You can see all the structures, systems, and cross-sections of the bodies! We also went to watch Stomp. I had wanted to see the show when I was little...it probably would have been more fun at that point in my life. But it was still cool. We tried to go the NBC Studio Tour, but didn't have enough time to wait. So we went and played at FAO Schwarz and went atop the Empire State Building. It was a very short trip, but I'm glad we left when we did, since it started snowing that night.
Last week, I went to Arizona for my interview. I got the chance to visit the Desert Botanical Garden. It was a beautiful day, and I got some good pictures. The next day was a different story. It was pouring like crazy...people said that they hadn't had that much rain all year. Just my luck, rain in the desert while I'm there. =) The interview itself was a full day event where we went around in groups for tours, presentations, and grop activities. It was set up so that the committee could watch your interactions all day. The 2 interviews were done individually. I felt that it went very well.
I flew back home the next day. I was catching my connecting flight in Atlanta, but it was delayed. So I just wandered around the terminal, did some reading, etc. Before we started boarding, I checked my phone and realized I had missed a call. I gave them a call back. And the woman on the line says, "Congratulations! You've been accepted!" You cannot believe how happy I was at that moment (and how happy I was that my flight had been delayed. If it hadn't been, I wouldn't have gotten to hear those words that day). It was a quick decision. But, I've officially been accepted into a medical school!
Yesterday was our first flag football game. It was horrible. I think the other team scored like 5 touchdowns while we scored 0! But we had fun, learned some things, and will practice more. Hey, at least it was a good workout!
Hope you all have a great week!!!

Wow. Congratulations on getting into medical school! I've always wanted to go to the Bodies Exhibition. It looks really interesting. Glad to hear the open mic night when well. Have a good week and congratulations again!
