wireless and medschool

Im currently sitting in Tutor Hall (man those engineering kids have a lot of money, this place is hella nice) using the amazing wireless we have on campus. Isn't it slightly ridiculous that I couldn't figure out how to use the wireless until spring of my junior year? its so cool to be sitting here and on the internet. I really should be writing the outline of my personal statment now, and i'll start it soon. All this week I have appointments with professors to interview for med school letters of rec. I have my first one yesterday, and I wasnt expecting a full blown life goals why do you want to go to med school interview that lasted 40 minutes. but if you think about it, 40 minutes isnt really that long to try and get to know someone. but i think its true that you can tell a lot about someone from just talking to them for 10 minutes. It went well and I think i handled myself well, was composed, earnest, and articulate. though im not sure that i got everything i wanted to impart across to dr. hogen esch. im getting really excited for med school. the more i research into the different programs and schools the more i'm looking forward to actually going. and if you know me at all, you know i love making lists and organizing choices so trying to narrow down my list of medical schools to 20-25 is going to be fun. but probably more stressful than i would like as i have less time to figure it out. this may sound conceited, but im begining to feel like maybe i do have a shot at getting in a few med schools of my choice. i never really thought of myself as smart, just as someone who got decent grades and had this lofty aspiration to become a doctor. but its becoming perhaps a realistic goal. and that is truly amazing.

i miss my sam. looking forward to spring break :)
