I didn't get in?

Not this time, by golly!  Okay, well not specifically-- While I did have the privilege of uttering these words in HS, I decided not to go the Stanford route for med school.

Instead, I applied to the University of Miami (among other places), and you know what:
            >> I GOT IN! woo hoo!

It's all about the

a clean room is a happy room.

          before...                                                                               and after...                                         (and vice versa)

 When life gets busy, my room gets ridiculous.

mindful monday x4

Busy day today + my fourth-to-last early morning Cross Country practice (EVER!) in the morning = not much time devoted to this mindful monday post. Forgive me.

As graduation (and hopefully at least one more interview for post-grad) approach, "success" is something more and more often considered in this lil' head of mine. Luckily, my roommate has a quote on her wall to give me the answer every time I wake up. Talk about convenient. So here's your little dose of Ralph Waldo Emerson for the week:

"To laugh often and much; 

To win the respect of intelligent people 

     and the affection of children; 

To earn the appreciation of honest critics 

     and endure the betrayal of false friends; 

To appreciate beauty, 

To find the best in others; 

To leave the world a bit better,

whether by a healthy child, a garden patch,

     or a redeemed social condition; 

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived...

This is to have succeeded."

Happy Monday, y'all.

 

FOOD DAY!

I'm celebrating tomorrow at Hatter Harvest's monthly farmers market. 

How are you celebrating FOOD DAY?

questions.

there were so many fewer questions when stars were still just the holes to heaven.


Jack, you are always right.
