## Achievements

- Got 3rd in an AMIA data mining competition for a novel evolutionary mining strategy.

- Had a successful summer of research culminating in one IEEE publication and a presentation at the SCCM Annual Congress (in Hawai'i!).

- Only had a weekend to study for the GRE but I was blessed with a great score.

- Applied to 8/10 CS PhD programs (2 more apps to submit!)

## Setbacks

- Got pneumonia for a month, was miserable, did poorly on that block's exams.

- A bit overwhelmed/exhausted. Trying to balance med school and applying to grad school and running around to these conferences to present my work so that grad schools like me.

- Med school is hard, yo. The month of pneumonia did not help.

- Made the difficult decision to stop playing rugby. Not ready for a fifth surgery.

- I will be 100K in debt when loans disburse next week. O_O'

- Haven't read a damn book in forever.

- Haven't been in the weight room in forever.
