my facebook addiction and International Symposium day

I am currently taking a break from writing applications. Yes, I said writing applications, as in applying to programs, as in something I thought (or at least hoped) I would not have to do ever again. That is right, your college application is NOT the last application you write. In fact, it is the first of many. You need to write applications when applying to summer programs, when applying for study abroad, when applying to grad school/ med school, etc. I don’t like it! But such is life.


I have recently become addicted to the “SmarterMind” application on facebook, an application where you can challenge people (including people you don’t know) to games of Mastermind (you know, the one where you have to guess the order of colored dots). I have devoted countless hours to playing this game when I should be doing other things like homework and applications. Oh well.


I am joining an intramural soccer team. HAHAHAHAHAHA. My lovely friend and bio partner hunted me down the other day (and by hunted, I mean turned to me in Organic chemistry) and asked me to join her intramural team, as the roster is due Thursday and she didn’t have enough people. I laughed and said “maybe”, but she is very persistent and today I signed my soul over to her intramural soccer team. We need a team name, any ideas out there?

Today was International Symposium Day. It was great because we got classes off to go here people talk about their study abroad experiences. I sat in on two talks. The first was about women in the Sri Lankan tea industry, and the other was about Bali India and tourism. I learned a lot, and it was interesting to hear about peoples international experiences and projects.

Well….time to get off this blog, off of facebook, and buckle down…in a few minutes. I gotta finish my SmarterMind game first.
