Days Away

Today I had my SECOND cavity filled in my life. And they did not use that ultra-long, lidocaine filled needle. I've still never figured out how that needle fits into someone's gums without poking out the back of your head, or your cheek, or something. Anyway, I guess I should be grateful that no needle was needed, and that my cavity was minor, but sometimes I wonder if I really have a cavity at all. Maybe every 10 years or so they just "fill" one even if you don't have one. Luckily my dentist is THE MAN (Dr. Wilkes-everyone go) and so I almost wish I had worse teeth just so I could go see him more. Okay I take it back.

I have ONE last med school application to finish. ONE. So far I've applied to these schools:
Georgetown (DC)
George Washington (DC)
VCU (Richmond, VA)
Chicago Rosalind (Miami, FL) (Just kidding)
Hofstra (Long Island, NY)
UC Davis (Davis, CA)
UC Irvine (Irvine, CA) - REJECTED
Loma Linda (Loma Linda, CA)
Midwestern U (Glendale, AZ) - Interview Dec. 2nd
UTMB (Galveston, TX)
UT Houston (TX)
UT San Antonio (TX)
Texas A&M (Bryan, TX)
Wright State (Dayton, OH)
UCF (Orlando, FL)

And I'm almost done with AT Still, in Mesa, AZ. I'm so sick of sucking up to other schools and trying to talk myself up, but thanks to my freshman year negligence, I cant really afford to just write whatever the heck I want and expect to be accepted. Woops. I love google maps-ing each of these cities (except Irvine now) and wondering where I may be living next year. I get excited for pretty much all of these places! I just love exploring, and I'm ready for adventures.

Also I have had this thought lately, that it would help to learn how to at least pronounce some French, if not speak it. Because every time I get in the shower/use cologne I feel like I'm getting called things like "Gel Douche" and "Poor Homie."


Oh and there are 6 days remaining until school starts again. Right now I have mixed emotions, but deep down I know it's going to be the most fun I've EVER had, and I'm so excited.

California Sun

..is really what I've been needing all along. High 80's, low humidity, and a pool and a book (the Count of Monte Cristo-I really wish I had read it before having seen the movie). Honestly though, I had completely forgotten how much I love this place. Also, being at EFY all summer was AWESOME, but my body is so happy with me that I'm finally getting some sun, exercising, and not eating anything from the cannon center dessert bar. Tonight I went with my dad and my brother to see....

...and it was one of my favorite movies of the year. Granted, the only other movie I have really liked this year was Megamind, and woops that came out last year, but I didn't see it until it was in the dollar theater at the beginning of this year! Seriously though, tough year for movies. I'm rambling. I'm going to Disneyland next week with all of those great efy counselors out there. I don't remember if I like Disneyland. That's probably not something you say out loud though huh? I'm sure I'll love it-k goodnight!
