Two things to do: set up BME forums, and organize BESIP happy hour at Sam Paio's (2 dollar margaritas).  Oh, and like ten things for ultimate.  Tomorrow.  Oh the promise of tomorrow.

Jenny was right: having a xanga has improved my ability to churn out writing.  Instead of thinking too heavily about what I write all the time (constipation), it just flows nearly like speech, especially if it's like the ucsd prompt which was just an autobiography on myself.  Anyways, I'm screwed tomorrow for getting everything done, I think, but it'll work itself out.  It always does.  Though this semester, "working itself out" is going to fall in the B category as opposed to scraping out a low A in my classes.  Oh well...transcripts are in, and interviews are starting to roll in again.  Yay.  Good luck to all you other appliers.  Lo, talk to Pam about applying to grad school...she needs to get her head on straight, I think, about the timimg of apps and GRE and all that.

Oh, but the other thing that improved my writing was only having one hand for a couple weeks.  All the words just pent up in my left hand, and now that I have it back (for typing at least), it's liberating to just unleash, let's see.......2000 words, or 10,684 characters (including spaces) in about two hours.  Quickest essay writing except for maybe my UMich one when I finally got to it.  Probably because pressure's less now, too.  Good night, and I hope TRIZ didn't poop on your head too much.

Past week or so has shuffled by.  Ever wonder if the world would go on ok without you?  I'm here to say, yeah, it will without much of a hiccup.  Well, even your own life (thanks in part to the nature of my classes/commitments this year) can make it ok if you take 10 days out of it.  It's not going to be easy afterwards, and some things slide, but life goes on.

Surgery tomorrow, one screw, 3-4 months out of commission.  Sadness.  Wallet missing.  Further sadness and concern.  Hope I can get by ok with my brother's credit card.  I'm hungry...off to eat something, and then to CVS to get my Vicodin*2-strength pain killers and the hospital to get my paperwork done.  Maybe I'll get some good reading done in the next couple weeks (after I get my seondaries done...yay!).
