Your Candy Heart Says "Hug Me"

A total sweetheart, you always have a lot of love to give out.
Your heart is open to where ever love takes you!

Your ideal Valentine's Day date: a surprise romantic evening that you've planned out

Your flirting style: lots of listening and talking

What turns you off: fighting and conflict

Why you're hot: you're fearless about falling in love




Fearless about falling in love? I'm not sure about that. I'm rather careful with where my heart ends up.

So anyway, here I am on the bed, studying biology. Now that I just realized (yes, I'm slow) that medical school doesn't really need all this information about cnidarians and pseudopods, then maybe I could end up going to medical school after all (all that junk about animals and evolution is the stuff that I don't like studying because there's just so much, and unless you're going to specialize in general biology, I don't see a point for this). Whoohoo. Now, if I have the stamina to pull this through... :)

Some people were naturally a little tough to connect with, but I believe that worsens (worsens? I guess) with time. There are some people I can't really get ahold of anymore, and it makes me sad because back when I could actually find the soft spot, we bonded pretty well. Well, I guess it's partially my fault... I'm not good with keeping in touch, I guess.

I'm so stressed out. I already missed 1 and 1/3 of school this past week. I hate being so ill all the time. Need sleep. For some reason I'm having a hard time falling asleep these days. Something about the fear of not waking up kept me from sleeping one day - I think it was because I was kind of sick and thought that I would stop breathing. Geez, Dani.

I think I've fallen in love with Duke...

I had my interview today (after a silly blunder - at the coffee shop, I totally did not see that Duke shirt on the chair, so I wasted 20 minutes wondering where my interviewer was :O) with a Duke alumnus (singular of alumni, right?). It was very casual, definitely not as intimdating as my Harvard/Tech interviews. I was interviewed by this pretty med. student who went to Duke for undergraduate.

After hearing her testimony and a lot of other people's testimonies (Howard :D haha) as well as my own experience with Duke, I think I've fallen in love with it :) There's not much that I don't like about Duke (well, maybe the tuition), and if I did get bestowed with the honor of being admitted, I would love to enroll and be a Blue Devil! Everyone I know who's a current student, was a student, or was admitted anyway is super smart--most are witty, all are down-to-earth and wonderful people. You really can't get better than that :D

Hm, so I guess my choices for college are...

1. Duke
2. Penn
3. Yale
4. Emory (accepted!)
5. Dartmouth

and 15. UGA :P (accepted)

The other schools I applied to... well, now that I think of it, none of them really strike me as COME HERE! There are things about each school that made me apply, of course, but nothing like the magnetism I got from the other schools. The rest are Harvard, Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, Case Western, UNC-Chapel Hill, Georgia Tech (accepted), UC Berkeley, UCLA, and Washington University. It'd be great if I could get into some of them (Harvard and Stanford are probably not coming true... neither is Yale and maybe not Penn [for Wharton] :P), but they're not really favorites of mine as much as I like the above 5.

But anyway, I need to have some fun in my life, so I will...oh wait, fun will be put on hold until Bio Test and Senior Project is done :)

I received this super cute bear from my boyfriend in the mail the other day... this bear that held a heart that said "SAN JOSE" (California) ^_^ My mom was like, "Isn't it a little early for Valentine's Day?" Ha, ha, Mom...

I need to stop randomly shoving food in my mouth.

I feel guilty.

Today I ate 1.5 bagel, spicy chicken sandwich, a slice of pizza, and some cake, all within a span of 2-3 hours. I think I've gained around 2-3 pounds this past school year. 2-3 pounds is not THAT noticeable, but my arms aren't as firm as they used to be, my face is a little pudgier, etc. etc. Funny that when you gain weight you gain it everywhere (yuck) yet some weight sticks to certain places easier than others. Argh... yes, I'm talking about my beautiful thighs/butt.

The new issue of 17 has Ashlee Simpson trying to imitate Gwen Stafani's blonde hair, pale skin, and luscious red lips. I think only Gwen can pull it off and look elegant, still.
