thar she blows

whale watching was very fun on saturday, minus the wanting to throw up or just pull out my stomach feeling when the boat stopped. i had no idea i got sea sick, but there it was! regardless, it was soooo worth it. we saw 6 blue whales (HUGE) and about 200 dolphins - they were everywhere!! it was really amazing. let me see if i can post some pics...

These are the two blue whales we saw - all these pics are either Nalin's or Naren's...

Amazing pics of dolphins...

cool pic of birds and whale tails...


and another whale...

wow - it was beautiful. and beautiful pics!

anyway, other than that, the weekend was just like any other weekend - rings, texts, you know. yesterday Lindsey and i went karaoke singing - always a good time. it's fun to have a friend who harmonizes.

oh - really good news - i got a secondary for UCSF!!!!!!! i'm SO excited. i can't let myself get too excited since it doesn't mean THAT much. so basically about 8000 people applied, and 1500 get secondaries. out of those, 500 get interviews, and about 150 get in. slowly but surely, right? i hope i get in (obviously) but it would be SO COOL if i actually did get in (obviously) but i really want to go there (obviously). yup, i'm not thinking clearly and i'm just SO EXCITED. haha. secondaries mainly mean recommendation letters, a short essay (they give you 2 pages to do whatever you want, so i'm going to do a 1 page essay and 1 page CV), and some money. then if they like that, it's an interview. and then if they like you, you're in! sigh...it's nerve-wracking!
