So Fr Ganz has agreed to write a letter of recommendation for me for med school, but he has asked that I first write a letter of recommendation for myself and give it to him. This fucking sucks. what do i say? Is it possible to come off as arrogant in this situation? Suggestions?

So I've really been stressing myself out about what I am going write my Senior Religion thesis on. I mean REALLY stressed out, like I seriously considered dropping my whole Bachelor of Arts degree because I just had no idea what I was going to do.

Life is good. I honestly can't think of a way that it could be any better. First of all, I am kicking all of the crappy junior-premeds ass's in Physics. The group of premeds in the class below me are SO lame. SO lame. They are the most arrogant, smart-ass, annoying kids I have ever had class with.

I contemplated ignoring the email and claiming I didn't get it in time ( Read more... )

Okay people, please leave me your thoughts on the following topic:

What do you think about people who are dating and NEVER use eachother's names, but only disgustingly cliche epithets? I can understand the occasional nickname, but more than occasionally just makes me insane.

I have bronchitis. I do not know how or why, but it went from kind of a pain yesterday (when I had to sing SOLO a reconciliation service), to sick last night, to really sick this morning. Last night I knew I was introuble because I had trouble falling asleep. You know? Just that uncomfortable feeling of sickness that kept me from falling asleep ( Read more... )
