I've been antsy recently, and I'll tell you why. There is a forum online that my mother reads. To help you understand, I will give you an analogy. Online forum: my mom:: crack: addict. She loves to read it every night after work and to refresh when possible. The worst part is that this forum is called studentdoctor.net, a professional forum for those either wanting to get into the health field (prospective professional school kids) or those already in it (current students or actual working people in the field). Basically the prospective professional school kids use it to freak each other out about getting into school. And it's been working because they've been freaking my mom out.
Since my interview early last month, everyone's been eagerly awaiting their letters of acceptance. Apparently two weeks ago, acceptance letters have already started trickling out. So for the past two weeks, my mom has been on my last nerve about whether I've heard back yet. At her insistence, I told her I had sent an email last Friday to the admissions office (which of course I didn't).
Believe it or not, yesterday I received an email through my phone from the University of Maryland Baltimore. It was thanking me for my interest in the school, which usually sets up for a rejection when...BAM. It was honoring me for being ACCEPTED TO THE CLASS OF 2015!
So now not only does my mom believe that the admissions people forgot about me until I emailed them inquiring about my status (which remember I did not), she will now forever gloat about how she was right about my future and blah blah blah. God I hate that look on her face -_-.
I guess the point of the post is that you are now looking at a future pharmacist from the University of Maryland Baltimore Class of 2015!

Upgrade.
In case you haven't noticed, I revamped the blog a little. I hated the totally generic template of it all, with no customizations of my own to make it unique. I was lazy and busy with work, applications, friends, life, etc. But I've been in a different mood this past week, and I've already changed many things in my life to keep things fresh.
I spent a good half day revitalizing little things here and there on the site. It's been quite a while since I've dabbled in coding, so I was a bit rusty. The tweaks are still being made as we speak, but this is a good start.
Another "upgrade" that I'm uber excited about is my cell phone! I've had the same old Blackberry Curve 8310 for the past TWO YEARS, and if you know anything about me, it'd be that my phone is so wrecked. I've dropped it hundreds of times - and it definitely shows. The paint's chipped, the corners have fallen off, it's just a dead little, but loyal, companion of mine. I made a spontaneous decision one fateful night to get the...

Blackberry Torch!
And I love it! I was afraid I wasn't going to like the new sliding design, but it's definitely a must-have for me, since I have uncoordinated/fat fingers that cannot use a touch screen keyboard. Besides the fact that everything's been upgraded and sleeked out, the best features of the phone are the new web browser, the social networking apps, and the games!
The old web browser on my Curve would often freeze before loading a page and the layout was like reading a boring and deformed newspaper. Contrast that with the new web browser that actually looks like the webpage while also allowing zoom in and out capabilities - LOVE. Next, the social networking apps have made keeping in touch with everyone while I'm on the go so much more effortless. I have access to gmail, google talk, twitter, facebook, and much more right through my phone. And last but not least, this may be silly, but I love their games! The Curve only had one lame game (lame only because my lack of coordination would not allow me past a certain level), but it now has multiple, including a word game (which are my fave!).
I think this phone is a great competitor of the new Android and iPhone 4, and I would not trade it for anything! On the -5 to 5 scale, I would give this phone a +5 rating!
