Day...8? (I'm skipping ahead)

1. meditate - day 4 
2. three things I'm grateful for 
1. Negative on my tb test even though I went to Asia this summer.  I needed results by Thursday so definitely would not have been time to get a chest x-ray.
2. My professor answered a question I emailed to her and ended it with a smiley face.  She also asked me if I witnessed Halloween at my parents' house (she lives off Alicia Pkwy too!).  I think this means we are officially friends.
3. Mina brought me an Uncrustables for lunch which was awesome because I brought myself nothing.  
3. random act of kindness - I emailed Hieu all the stuff he missed in SI.
4. something good that happened today - I ran into Adam from my chem class last semester who is taking the next chem in the series and found out who not to take the class with.  He also told me about a secret anatomy lab in the library that has all the models.  The girl he was studying with is applying for DH the same year as me and is taking anatomy next semester so we said we would take it together.  Yay friends!  
5. exercise - no...but I did yesterday and I'm still sore (lame!) does that count?

4. something good that happened today - The doorman at the office building of the family I applied to work for gave me his approval.  Specifically, he said, "When you came in the other day, I knew you were going to get hired."
