What a weekend. I went back to my undergrad, Monmouth, for homecoming, and went to the Giants vs Eagles game yesterday. I love going back for homecoming because you get to see hundreds of people you used to know/be friends with. Even though the conversation is the same about a billion times with everyone (some screech of how are youuuuuuuuu and a bit of OMGGGGGG I missed you!) its nice to catch up and feel the love. I loved my experience at Monmouth and wouldn't change it for the world. Friday night we all go to the same bar "Jacks", Saturday is the tailgate, and Saturday night I usually find myself in bed with some girlfriends...but the brave go out again. I had to be well rested for the Giant's game...which was also a ton of fun despite some Eagles' fans peeing on my shoes and throwing a bottle at my head.
I liked being highly involved in undergrad... I made so many friends in so many different circles, I couldn't walk on campus 15 seconds without seeing someone I knew. Maybe some people wouldn't like that, but I think its the beauty of a small school.
This morning I had a meeting with the assistant dean of admissions of the medical school. I gushed and gushed about why I love osteopathic medicine and how it encompasses all of my career goals. However, she wants to wait until I finish my first semester of graduate courses to make sure I do well, because those are challenging and weighed more heavily. It's discouraging being told to wait, but I'm happy to be considered out of the strong pool of thousands... and getting interviewed now or in January won't make a difference as long as I get in! I can understand where they are coming from, plus having this encourages me to study more and to do well!

For the game I tried not to be too obnoxious about being a Giants fan because Philadelphia fans are horrifying and mean.
SO I subtly wore blue... until the game started I wore my hoodie. I ran into two Giants-fan physicians who went to my school!
