Another twist

A lot has happened since my last post. Everyone on my committee finally signed off on my thesis. I passed my comprehensive exam yesterday, and I got accepted into the Master of Medical Informatics program at the University. Apparently they rejected me the first time because I was really late on my application, but when the faculty met, they unanimously agreed to accept me. What does that mean? Anyhow, I guess it doesn’t really change anything since I was going to take a class anyway.

I finished reading Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. It’s an excellent book that detailed a boy growing up in Afghanistan and how his life is changed by his “servant” and best friend. It’s interesting how much guilt a person can hold onto throughout his life. He always felt like an inadequate son, but in the end he understood life so much more because of it. Anyhow, it’s a good book.
