So. I got a Fulbright to go to Sweden next year, we got a dog named Nero, Jake is turning 26 on Thursday, my sister is having a baby in August, I'm taking the MCAT in a little over five weeks, and I am having a hard time understanding electricity.

I'm starting runner-runner-hearts mostly as a place to put things. I'm not sure how it's going to shape up. Mostly I have the ten months in Sweden in mind, but these last five months in Berkeley seem sort of exotic now too.

There's a big party going on down the block but I have to work on MCAT stuff - not that it's not urgent, but I am also lagging woefully behind on my weekly study hours required for the bribe I made Jake make of an afternoon at Supple.
