Good news
After being disappointed with the news from Madison, I am more than excited to say that I have been accepted to Medical College of Wisconsin. The acceptance of the acceptance and the money to hold my spot in the class are already in the mail. Seeing as I have spent the last 4 years of my life (at least) working towards this goal it is fair to say that a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I am ecstatic.
Now, this does not seem as though it relates to the Center or anything else, but maybe it does. In fact, I suppose it seems to relate to everything. How? I do not know. I have been in a great mood since hearing the news. When I help a guy in the Center it makes me think of what I will be doing for the next 50 years of my life (hopefully). That is, serving people. Maybe I even have preemptive doctor powers. Probably not, but I can test that out on my roommates.
The day at the Center was status quo. Did not do much out of the ordinary. I did try and help a newly homeless couple find a place to stay for the evening. I gave them some information on transitional and longer term housing, which hopefully they will look into, but finding a place for the night was the highest priority.
I would like to mention just one more thing today. We have been playing a great ball game in our house (non-destructive of course) with a certain stuffed pumpkin and a highly modified tubular couch pillow. I cannot get into all of the rules but would like to mention that it is a great game that builds community and keeps us up later than we should be. I would also like to say that I completely dominated Justin Looser, my roommate, last night and that he should not feel bad about it. Things like this happen to all of us at some point. Well, at least some of you. Anyways, all kidding aside I believe all people should develop some sort of indoor game to be played, especially in the cooler months and if you have kids.
