Congratulations Tanya!

I just recently found out that my good friend, Tanya, just got accepted to her first Medical School, and I couldn’t be happier for her. In fact, I think the best way I could express how I’m feeling would be “Smurftastic!” Yes, that’s right. You read that correctly. I said “Smurftastic”! Why? It’s quite simple. I can’t think of anything cheerier, happier, more enthusiastic, or good-natured than a little blue smurf. I don’t really know how they manage to pack so much energy into such a tiny package, but I really love those things. They rock! So I think that one word easily sums up my feelings.

To make it all a little sweeter, she got into a school (University of Pittsburgh) that she really likes too. In fact, she was even able to turn down an interview at another school because this is one of her top three schools, and she also heard back from another of her top three schools who said they were very interested in her. I know that the stress is off for her, and I couldn’t be more excited for her. I guess this means I also need to root for Pittsburgh in the Superbowl on Sunday even though I really couldn’t care less about the NFL or the Superbowl itself. Oh well, a congratulations were in order, and I promised her I’d give her a shout out here. So Tanya, this entry was for you!
