things i did this week that may not help me get into yale

- watch a Fish Called Wanda for the first time

- take a mini vacation by going out to Baltimore for a night

-watching this scary wonderousness: click here really you should.

- getting over 10 hours of sleep in one night

- eating delicious homemade birthday chili

- hanging out with actors until way past midnight drinking makers and beer

- watching tim getman cut a penny in two with his bare hands. Or rather two pennies in two with the help of some sharp scissors and patience.

things that may help a little bit:

- regardless of all the distractions of the week I’ve still managed to spend at least an hour every day working on the application.

-the next few days I am all application all the time (except sunday when I’m all 25 Questions for a Jewish Mother all the time)

- and some how, miraculously, I am still on the schedule I set for myself.

It’s going to be okay. really. and that’s not just the makers mark talking.
