Pick up the phone!

Yeesh, Dan, are you ignoring me? I keep sending you text messages asking you to pick up your phone, and I haven't gotten any responses.

I hope we get a TV soon. I want to watch House and L&O:SVU, and maybe a Steelers game or two.

Med school app essays will be the death of me, I tell you! Seriously, I just want an interview. I'm pretty sure I can kick ass face to face, but when I have to write all these little essays, it's just like death by papercut.

My Pchem class increased in size by 50% today - we got a third student. :D Apparently people are peeved about the organic reactions course being taught by a new, hardass teacher, so they're dropping out and taking new courses. Hopefully we don't get any bigger - it won't be as enjoyable. Today's lecture was a review of some of the concepts we covered last semester. It was much easier to understand this time around. The ease of understanding made the material seem unfamiliar, so much so that I wasn't sure if I'd seen it before. I'm glad that I haven't forgotten everything from last semester, but I definitely need to review this weekend.

Tomorrow, after a painfully nervous summer, my new lab work gets off the ground! Whew! I met with one of the deans today - I set up an appointment in mid-August, when I wasn't sure if things were going to work out, and I got some reassurances, so I feel better now.

And, totally unrelated to everything else, inspired by a few thoughts I had while reading Bronze, have you guys ever looked at the thighs on those rugby players in the UK? It's really... well, "amazing" and "scary" come to mind. Their thighs are HUGE! The better to run, charge, jump, and trample with, yeah?
