Dateline 5/11/07

Well spring is here and I am feeling fine. I have gotten moved in too my new apt in East Falls, which has so far been everything that I expected. I am getting the hang of my new admissions job and class is winding down. I have contacted a bunch of labs to try to find a place to do research next year and got interest from both a cardiac surgery program at Drexel and a medical imaging group at UPenn. Even though I waited longer to start looking than most people, there still seem to be a lot of good choices available on the lab group front. I have even started to see some action on the dating front.
On the medical school front, I have begun to fill out the AMCAS for next year. I seriously regret not doing this last year, because all of my friends in IMS who did submit it have gotten in, even some who i believe were weaker candidates than me. Not really a big deal in the big picture though, as I am happy about where I am now and very optimistic about the next year.
