| Fall Migration . . .With semi-adulthood approaching, (lets not call it adulthood because that plainly would be ridiculous) I've decided to evolve from my old SN. I'm not so evolved that I can stop xanga but at least I'm done with MiAngele.

| The Bear Lives On . . . So I just wikipedia-ed Northwestern, and I found the following passage on traditions.
I've highlighted the rofl-inducing section. How amazingly coincidencial was this?
Traditions
Painting The Rock is a campus tradition.
At the kick-off of NU football
games, students used to throw marshmallows. Northwestern archivist
Patrick Quinn says that students were likely "trying to get them into
the tubas, and then started throwing them at each other," leading to
the tradition of throwing marshmallows at the field. While Gary Barnett
was football coach, he banned marshmallows because they supposedly
detracted from the serious level of football that he wanted for the
school. The tradition of jingling car keys, however, still continues.
It began as an arrogant taunt; Big Ten rivals often bested Northwestern
at football, and the keys implied "while your school may win the
football game, in a few years your school's graduates will be parking
Northwestern graduates' cars." "State-school, state-school," another
condescending taunt often heard from the student section, turns a nose
up at the other institutions of the Big Ten conference, all of which
(except for Northwestern) are public universities. Also during football
games, students extend their hands in a claw-shape and "growl" during
all plays that the other team is on the offensive.
Oh, Northwestern, even though your mascot is a wildcat, I can never escape the bear.

| waitlist mayhem . . .Medical school update:
I'M GOING TO NORTHWESTERN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE!
After 3 days of agonzing deliberation, I've chosen Norwestern over Mt. Sinai. I seriously gave myself an ulcer trying to chose which school to go to. I'm sad I won't be in NYC and as close as all you Brownies, but I'll come visit at least once a year, hopefully once a semester.
Wish me luck! | | |
| to apple or not to apple . . . So in my four years of med school, where I'm racking up more debt than all the money I've ever seen in my entire life, I'm allocated some pennies to buy my self a little technological sum'in-sum'in, but should I allow myself to be the impulse buyer that I am or actually attempt to show self control?
Here's the sitch: It's only been about a year and a half since my craptastic monster of a laptop *cough-compaq-you-are-the-devil-incarnate-and-must-die-cough* choked up its last sad breath and, through the magic of, who I like to think of as my personal computer guy, mr. mark cho, I was advised to pick up my current IBM T41 baby, whom I love more than my earing collection.
But as everyone knows, I'm a sucker for pretty things and apple's simple, yet elegant, design is as tempting as free legal marijuana to a junkie. Right now, I'm trying hard to resist the mouth-watering temptation of the imac, but its utter hotness is so hard to resist with apple's current deal, which for those of you who are too lazy to click the link is buy a computer, you get a free nano plus a hundred bucks off a new printer.
So I'm thinking, oh my freaking god, that's like manna from the sky. I'm going to skip over the nano entirely and go for the $179 discount on a brand new sexy white 30gb video ipod AND then to top it off like the sweet delicious red cherry on an ice cream sundae I'm also going to get myself a sweet printer-copier-scanner with the $100 rebate.
My parents are like, you do realize if you get this now, you're not getting a new computer for at least 4 years, right? 
So the question I pose to you now, do I have the self-control deep down in the depth of my soul to hold off until this deal comes rolling around again in like a year or 2? Do I? Do I really? I'm I the only who can't resist the seductive beauty of the ipod? Tell me what to do!
*EDIT: I changed my background because the awesome Leslie Wong took this kickass picture of me and I HAD to use it somewhere because not only is it a great picture . . . I also look good  , so I photoshopped it and boom! new background.*

| Blingo, you are my new hero . . . OMG. This rocks.
They give you things for using their search engine!
I'm putting Google on temporary hiatus until I win something.
I want an ipod nano.
