It’s good to have long talks with friends and catching up with everything in their lives. It’s even better that I can pick up at any time with these friends and just pick up from where we left off. I think ever since going off to London, I haven’t really been keeping up with most of my friends. Even when I came back over Christmas, I didn’t have the chance to really catch up with everyone. For the first time in a year, I’m finally not jetting off to another continent or being caught up with school and whatnot (I swear when I’m at Duke, it feels like another life). Now I can pick up the phone and just talk to anyone for hours and not feel guilty (I can only stand so much of LSAT in 24 hours). 

It’s so good to see all my friends doing so well and being on track and materializing their dreams. I love it when a friend tells me that what she wants and that what her plan is for getting their. Of course, we are all still worrying about gpa, scores, and offers, but the future and dreams we used to talk are suddenly right in front of us. We are not longer all doing the same preparatory work anymore, the things we are look working for are becoming more and more concrete every day. Instead of the SAT’s, we are taking MCAT’s and LSAT’s. Before we know it, we’ll be sitting for the board and the bar and cpa’s and cfa’s, and beyond that is the reality that we dreamed of before we even knew what these acronyms stood for. For the first time in my life, I feel that this is the defining stage of our lives.

I guess I always loved his music, unknowingly. The music of Pearl Harbor has been my favorite since the first time I watched the movie years ago, and only recently have I discovered that it’s by the same composer who also wrote the scores of dozens of other films, many of which I love (Da Vinci Code, A Beautiful Mind, to name a few). It always amazes me the ability of music to elicit such intense emotions, especially in movies, and I think this is especially true of Zimmer’s music. They always have a beautiful melodic quality that just goes directly to your heart.

It’s a freakin’ amazing browser, hands down. Google never lets me down. Too bad I have to use IE for work, bleeeeeh. Anyways, if you haven’t tried this thing, you totally should. Sorry if you are a MAC user though.

On a completely different note: I loathe lsat right now. argh.

I got my first A+ at Duke in a class that I almost withdrew from. It’s also my first real A in econ. Maybe I don’t fail as an econ major afterall xD.
