Week 5 Famous Last Words: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

This week has been pretty busy for me. Between classes and working, it kind of feels like it’s been nonstop. The nice weather at the beginning of the week was wonderful, but I wish it had stuck around longer. I really like being able to run/get drinks/some other form of relaxation outside, so I’m really thankful for the nice weather in February, but I hate to see it leave! It’s kind of a tease, but hopefully it will start to warm up as we move into March.

I’m still in the midst of applying to grad schools, which is super scary. I really, really like this program at Tulane, and I’m just about finished with my application, so hopefully I can get that done by Sunday night and submit it. Two weeks from now is the earliest I might hear back from Emory, so hopefully I’ll find out soon! And that I got accepted, of course. Arizona should let me know about a week after that, so maybe I’ll go into spring break with two acceptances! Wouldn’t that be nice!

My Business French class inspired me to apply for a couple of 1 year jobs with the CDC and World Health Organization, so I’m going to give that a shot. I’d rather push school back one more year and have a really meaningful job experience that gets my foot in the door than wait for after I’ve got my second degree. Then I might have better job prospects for after I get my masters! One of the jobs is at the WHO’s headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and I think it would be so awesome to get to live there for a year. I could finally use my French skills!

As far as this class goes, I’m really excited about my Storybook Project. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun to write, and I’m really excited to design the website for it. I’m still working on a finalized title, but right now the working title is “LSD in a Yellow Submarine.” It’s about this super Beatles fan who has a psychedelic flashback while driving his new Yellow Submarine around his neighborhood. It should be a pretty wild ride. Here’s the eBay add that he buys the Yellow Submarine from:

  1. Hey Lillian! Since I've already commented on a story, your introduction, your storybook, and your favorite places, I thought I would read one of your Famous Last words.

    It looks like you have so many wonderful options at your door!!! Spending a year working for a wonderful organization like WHO would be incredible, especially if it is in Geneva, Switzerland. I am just so excited for what the next steps in your life will look like! Also I wish you the best in your applications and decision process.
