Today's been crazy...My all American girl came into work and surprised me, however, I think that was the last time I'll see her... I just sent off my first secondary...I sent it to OSU so I am pretty nervous, but it had to be done some time...I am excited to see what the Lord will do next, because this is all in His hands.

Why can't I achieve the inner beau ideal?  It pains me to know that the journey to perfection in Christ is a long one filled with infinite mistakes...Praise God for His infinite graciousness

So I finally made the decision...I will be moving back to California on Aug. 14th.  It's kind of surreal at this point...It's hard for me to believe that I have lived in Ohio for almost a year...I have made some great friend's here and I am excited for the opportunity to meet new people out in Cali...(I am excited for the beach, the surf, and the opportunity to meet Jason Mraz)...Who knows what the next twelve months will hold?  Anyway, this is my fond and fairly formal farewell to Ohio.  Things I'll miss other than friends?  Fireflies and crazy thunderstorms...These are the greatest things that Ohio has to offer to a Southern California kid who has seen it all...So in the immortal words of Guns n' Roses..."Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty...Oh, won't you please take me home."

After witnessing my housemate's humble assertion that his blessings have been of God's gracious hand...I feel that it is necessary to start giving God praise for the little things as opposed to thanking Him for the admission into a medical school...Some great news in this last week has arrived. I have heard back from 8 schools thus far...I have received secondaries from 5 of them and I have heard that my primary was received from the other 3...The five schools? Well let's praise God for each of them...I have heard from 1)OSU 2)Yale 3) Johns Hopkins 4) George Washington University and 5) Jefferson Medical College. To God be given all glory, honor, and praise...Please continue to pray with me concerning interviews and acceptances...

I don't think I could be more faithless...It brings me to tears...What is the next step for me? Is it Cali? I pray that I might receive the answer soon...

Good news, yesterday I received my first secondary application...I received it from Ohio State...I hope to have it done and turned in by next Wednesday at the latest...I have heard something back from two other schools so I am getting pretty excited...I think that by mid August I should have heard something from all 34 schools...I am hoping and praying that this process will go smoothly and that I get in to at least one school, but I would really like to have a few choices...We'll see what happens, but I just found out that I could get an acceptance as early as Sept. or Oct...Who knows?

I am finally becoming "that" guy...at 24 I sit at home, day in and day out playing online Texas hold 'em, online chess, or guitar...The majority of my social life consists of playing games with people that are nameless and faceless...Today I realized that with each drink I make at Starbuck's my life becomes much more meaningless and trite...Hopefully something changes...
