– Currently at St Olaf; plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose! (The more that things change, the more they stay the same!)
– Had a gas station French vanilla cappuccino that was really good at the time but not so good in the ensuing hour or two.
– Four-hour long MCAT practice test went well; apparently I am a retard in biology, but the verbal reasoning section was very good, as if that will help. And I did well in the physical sciences section despite not having taken college physics yet. Perhaps I will take it this summer.
– Betty once again on the out-and-out; portion of bowel that is ichemic is too substantial to derive much nourishment from food she eats. Saw her two days ago likely for the last time.
– One favorite quote in “House of God” so far: “If you want to scrog the librarian, you have to talk about Shakespeare.” If you want to get into med school, Isaac, you have to choke down more organ-ick chemisery and some more math, too.
– New Year’s party marked by outbreaks of random fires, a lot of strange smells, turkey somehow getting ground into carpet, hard man-nipples (why do we have those, anyways?), uncalled-for drunken player hation, and a sword being drawn at at least two points. But the Perkins night cap at 4am made it all worth it.
– Jan 1 is the day of the year you are most likely to be murdered, but I made it through. First day of “Water resource management” tomorrow, 8am sharp.
