Four to the Floor, Stuffed to the Brim

Wow, spring fair weekend has definitely dealt me a major blow. Amidst all the funnel cakes, smoothies, turkey legs, and chicken on a sticks, I've consumed so much food in the past 3 days that I'm keeling over! But it was all quite good, and I'm certainly even more thankful that this only happens once a year, really. It was just much too convenient walking out of the library to see a massive expanse of food vendors, all at my beck and call.

Speaking of the library, I fell asleep in there today for quite some time...

Hum, so we didn't have a regatta this weekend. Last weekend at the Invitational, finally one of our Hopkins boats got a medal, the varsity women's 4 of Laura, Ellie, Angela, and Becky. Our men's 8 was 5 and some seconds off of Loyola, getting second, in the race. No comment there, it was a good race, but alas, things that could have been helped weren't things that could have been done during the race anyway, so it was good despite it all.

Its scary to think that so many people took the MCATs yesterday, Theodore included, and that if I had a bit more diligence, it could have been me as well. But unfortunately, poor planning and my general inability to focus leaves me a bit lacking again. August.. here we come. I also should plan for GRE's this summer as well... do they have set test dates or are they something you just go in and take?

I've decided to narrow down my gradschool options. Masters in genetic counseling, or doctorate in genetics, or in nutrition/public health nutrition. Since I can't decide on what I need to focus on, I just need to bite the bullet and choose something. For now at least. Now I need to find some way of researching programs and finding what's good and what's not. Hopefully doing so will give me a bit more insight on what I should be doing in general. It'll be difficult when I ask for recommendations for so many places, so many programs, with so many focuses. How do I manage that and explain that to a professor I'm not exactly too familiar with?

I got lots of free t-shirts lately. And I'm excited about moving. Ariel, when will you be in Baltimore in the near future? I might be in my new apartment, I move at the end of May. I'm so glad my entire family decided to come out and visit and stay with me for that whole moving process. Since hiring moves will cost a few more hundreds of dollars than I was expecting, we're just going to do it ourselves, which will be difficult, but in the end, the money I save is like.. the value of at least half the furniture that I own anyway.

And Rachel, Emily, Helena and I are planning on having awesome get-togethers this summer. Coxswain action, here we come!
