The best news: I finished my thesis! Enough said.
Funny story:
During the week of finals during my freshman year our heater stopped working. While we waited to get it fixed, several of my roommates and I studied in the kitchen with the oven turned on to heat the room.
This semester past semester our heater went out, again during finals. Once again, I stayed warm by working in the kitchen with the oven on.
Life's little cycles amuse me.Jake had a pretty rough semester because he was applying to law school. He has the applications all submitted now and we're just waiting to start hearing back from schools. These applications were stressful because the schools expect you to have outstanding LSAT scores, a stellar GPA, numerous extracurriculars, work experience, volunteer experience, a sensational personal statement, and personal relationships with professors enough to get fantastic letters of recommendation. Jake pulled together his application well, but it can be depressing to see all of your life's work reduced to a few sheets of paper.
After the whole process it was encouraging to get this email from one of Jake's professors:
Jake,
Thought you might want to know that you received the highest overall grade in 410 I have ever seen. You set the curve for every assignment.
Yes, you earned an A.
If you ever need a recommendation from me, I will be happy to write one.
Prof. Dant
No one deserves praise like that more than Jake does. He's awesome.

Way to go Jake! That's awesome!
Haha, I can't believe your heater went out again during finals! Oh the irony of it all:) Jake, that's an awesome email from your professor! Way to be amazing.
Yay, yay, yay, yay! I am so proud. Have you two applied for any schools out here? If so, I'll make sure he doesn't get into any other schools so I can have my dear friends close by =)
