The tracks run right by my apartment, and whenever I hear that siren’s whistle, I’m always briefly tempted to drop everything and hop on the next train out of town. I wonder where it would take me.

The tracks run right by my apartment, and whenever I hear that siren’s whistle, I’m always briefly tempted to drop everything and hop on the next train out of town. I wonder where it would take me.
Midnight on January 1, 2007 in the Grand Basin outside of the St. Louis Art Museum. Got caught by the po-po, but he just let us go with a slap on the wrist.
Got my MCAT scores today, and I was really pleased with them. That puts me one step closer to achieving this goal. Next thing is to complete 20 odd secondaries. (I almost doubled my number of applications from two years ago.) It’s safe to say that I’m not looking forward to this part. Not giving up yet.
