Two days ago, my Vanderbilt interviewer (a medical student in one of the nearby med. schools) contacted me via Google chat about whether I had decided to go to Vanderbilt and what my future career plans were

Hahaha. Oh, life. I already have a weird relationship with D-Ram... considering we hang out backstage and stuff. I've just gotten used to it. After all, they are people. We're all people. C'est la vie!

I hate that phrase "C'est la vie." It's become so cliche. And I'm in a really bad mood because of economics, though nothing will make me more cranky than calculus.

It's always been cliche. I love it because it is one of the few French things I know, and I've always thought French was such a romantic language. It is a good phrase...

French is only awesome when you really know the language, not just a few popular phrases. This is why I wish I had taken that instead of Spanish, though Spanish is probably more useful in medical stuff (hey! the internship does have some use after all!)

Yeah, I had to speak to patients in Spanish, since my sponsor person couldn't. It was pretty abysmal on my part.
