Lots of Stuff

Well, it's been several weeks since the last post (and even that one was kind of lame) but get off my back, I've been busy. Here's a partial list of the things I've been doing, in no particular order:

I had an interview at KU Med: I felt like it went pretty well. I pretty much told them how stupid it would be not to immediately accept me, then I got up and strutted out of the room. I did this because I read somewhere that "confidence is key," and since I'm such a sucker for alliteration, I was sold.

I got accepted to KU Med: Pretty happy about this one. Now that I'm finally done waiting to see if I got into medical school, I can finally start waiting to start medical school in July. I did the early decision program, which means that since I was accepted, I'm locked in at KU. That's great because KU is where I really want to go, but now recruiting letters are starting to come in from other schools who've seen my MCAT scores and GPA. Mostly this just makes me glad that the whole application process is finally over.

I'm taking Anatomy and Physiology: It's been good so far - I really dig the material, and I'm doing really well so far. Also, there's a cute girl in the class - some might say that her complete and utter lack of interest in me is due to a complete and utter lack of interest in me, but I prefer to believe that she's playing hard to get. You know how girls like to be wooed, wined and dined, stalked, etc.

My folks got a new iMac: It's nice to be able to use a computer that turns on when you ask it to.

My folks got a puppy: His name is Magnus, he's an 8 week old Chocolate Lab, and he's sleeping right now, so please read quietly. He's more of a handful every day as he gets more and more comfortable in his new home (we've had him for about 6 days). Since both of my parents work and I'm kind of a bum right now, I've been spending a lot of time with him, and my back is pretty sore from stooping to grab stuff out of his mouth. In fact, I hear him whining right now, so I will cut this truly fascinating post short. Enjoy the puppy pictures.
