I'm excited. I get to go to the ABRCMS (Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students) conference in Phoenix on Nov 6th. There are going to be representatives from many of the graduate schools I applied to there. The conference runs from Thursday-Saturday. Unfortunately, I have a presentation that I can't miss. However, the coordinator at our school was able to work out things so I fly in Friday morning, network, and fly out Friday night. I'm really fortunate to get this opportunity. Besides that, I've just been trying to catch up with school. After studying so hard for the GRE, I'm basically behind about 1.5 months in school (this is no exaggeration).

I do find time to go out with my girlfriends. Last week we went to Peruvian food. I don't really feel like a college student anymore. Instead of going out for pizza, on Fridays, my friends and I unwind with a glass of wine, while dining at different themed restaurants. I'll basically try any style of food now, however, I still and never will eat sea food. Here is a picture of us before going out to dinner last weekend.

Reminiscing

Currently: missing my favorite British restaurant Kashu (you know the one with the amazing cheesy pizza creation).


I have just been reminiscing about the past 7 years. My high school/college era is coming to an end. I think I'm getting a bit nostalgic. Most of my life happened before I started this blog. I have a bunch of pictures taken over the past years that I have been negligent in distributing to family, so I posted a few of them on Picasa. It's mostly my friends and I.

So I just took my GRE and did pretty well. With that weight off my shoulders, I can finally move on with my graduate school applications, focus on classes, and actually have a life. I'm just so glad that it's over and that I got the score I wanted.

I have finally posted photos (on Picasa) from this summer at Dartmouth and the weekend in NYC. As I was going through them all, I realized I had completely forgotten how much fun it was and how much I got to experience. I had forgotten about some of the minor things like dinners that we had, but there was some inside joke going on or something that made it stand out from other memories. That happens with my pictures from Europe too. I look at them and all the memories and tiny details come rushing back and, I'm not usually sentimental, but it makes me sit back and think, wow I am so lucky to have seen all I've seen, met all the great people that I did, and seen parts of our country and parts of the world that are totally different than what I knew.

And on a more shallow note, I just rememebered the other day that I had met "The Hoff" when I was in Arizona visiting Martha last school year. I was really excited. My first celebrity sighting ever! David Hasselhoff.
