Validation

Well, I have good news: I currently have a 4.0 in grad school. Based on my 3.3 GPA from undergrad, this is unexpected. I worked hard enough in my Biostatistics course to get an A. This is, well.. validation for me since I was rejected from 2 grad schools: University of Washington and Boston University. IN YOUR FACE!

Well, I am back in Folsom right now. I flew in last night on Horizon Airlines, which, by the way, nobody should fly on. Talk about crappy customer service and delayed flights. Death. Luckily, I had my new laptop with me to entertain me in the airport. I finally got a laptop, and with it came several lectures from my parents about the dangers of laptops: THEFT!

"Oh yes, Sherri, don't leave it around. People will steal it."

Thank you parents.

I am home all alone in my parents' house, which is really weird since I've only lived in this house for 2 summers. I was all creeped out last night by weird noises, and checked the whole house before going to sleep. I know this is very interesting to all of you, but I have even more exciting news: my parents bought a timeshare in Hawaii. My parents are crazy sometimes. My dad complains about my mom spending too much money, and then they go out and do something like this. Crazy!

Anyways, my cousing is having a bridal shower today. She met a guy at a Renaissance fair and they hit it off apparently. I don't know if she's ever had a boyfriend, so.. this is good. I hope the shower will be Renaissance-themed. I could chew a turkey leg if given one.

Happy holidays!
