Snowy night

It's been snowing here, not consistently, but it snowed a bit last week and it snowed pretty heavily last night. I got a tripod for Christmas (thanks Santa! =) ):

So I took these:

REJECT-O-Meter

Updated Updated: UCI rejected me too. Ya I pretty much am done with this reject-o-meter business...some inventions are just meant for the attic/basement, never to see the light of day again. In the minuscule chance I get in somewhere I'll let you know maybe.

Updated: Got rejected from UCLA who gave me a secondary last year. I think I'm going to appeal this one because the letter was dated a little before when they received my Fall semester transcript so maybe that might push them over to giving me another secondary and maybe an interview. Keep yer fingers

UC Davis REJECTED
UC San Francisco REJECTED
Boston University REJECTED
USC REJECTED
U of Wisconsin REJECTED
UC Los Angeles REJECTED
UPDATED: UC Irvine REJECTED

If no status text after the school name, it means I have submitted a secondary but have not received an interview request. Text in Green will be ACCEPTANCE. It is still highly questionable whether I will be using that shade this year. UC's usually only send out secondaries to people they REALLY like and have a good chance of getting in.

physio...not so bad...or is it

Physio's not so bad anymore...primarily because we are leaving the realm of pulmonary (lung) physiology and entering gastrointestinal (digestive tract) physiology

Got a quiz tomorrow in physio, immunology and microanatomy, so we'll see how well Henry understands respiratory physiology...

interview

So it looks like I will be getting my very first and hopefully not final interview. It's at Drexel and I sort of feel cheated. I mean it's part of the program that I get an interview because I satisfied a few requirements. I don't really feel excited, kinda nervous actually but I'm really thankful though. I guess an interview request from another school that's not obligated to give me one will tell me that I really have a chance at getting in somewhere...anywhere...with a reasonably exciting city life.

So with that said, I'd like to introduce you to the REJECT-O-Meter ...enjoy!

missing pages?

I'm going to whine some more about physiology cuz when you can you should...wait that sounds like it will come back and bite me...oh well. I'll do this quote style

"Every time I go to physio lecture I can't help but think I'm missing lecture note pages, where have they gone?"

--Henry David Thoreauly Confused

heretical nonsense = physiology

more and more I beginning to think physiology is black magic and physiologists should face the inquisition for heresy...biochemists will be the inquisitors!
