Samantha sleeps

Samantha is sleeping through Barack Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic Nantional Conference. Even if you don't like him, it is a completely rousing and inspiring. But apparently not inspiring enough to keep my political science major roommate awake.

Yes, it has been a while since I posted. And much has happened. I will give a more lengthy update soon, but I am well. No, I don't have an idea about what I got on my MCAT. And yes, I do have a job, hopefully starting sooner rather than later. And yes I have some really wonderful pictures from lengthy time in Seattle including a wonderful hike on Mt. Ranier that was fantastic! I can't wait to do it again.

Tomorrow mornings MCAT

I took a practice one today. It went so well that I don't trust the results at all. More practice tests I take, the more I am beginning to believe that there is an element of luck this test. My results have varied between a range of 9 points and while all were good numbers, how can you trust a standardized test that varies that much with the exact same test taker?

Pray and cross your fingers tomorrow. Whatever you happen to believe it, I will take it all. The only thing I can count on about tomorrow's outcome is that at least the whole thing will be over.

I love cheddar

I love even pretty normal cheddar. Obviously fantastic is better (ex. Tillamook) but I will settle. What I do not love is low fat cheddar. I made the mistake of buying the low fat cheddar cheese sticks from Trader Joe's and have been cursing the $.40 I "saved" ever since. Seriously folks, cheddar is not supposed to taste like plastic. I suppose if I wasn't used to such fine quality cheeses it would be fine. Alas, maybe I am a cheese snob.
