The night before my qualifying exam I received a good luck package from my dear friend Odile. When Odile and I were roommates, I often had cravings for a cookie the size of my head. As a good luck gift she sent me this caramel apple the size of my head. Not only is it the largest caramel apple I have ever seen, it is definitely the most delicious I have ever eaten...double-dipped in caramel, drizzled in dark chocolate, then smothered in almonds. I saved it for after my exam (I passed! Now I'm a PhD candidate!) and although it feeds 17, my family of four polished it off pretty well...thank you so much Odile! I can't wait to see you in January!

if you are one of the three people who read this blog...
wish me luck! And send me happy thoughts tomorrow. Tomorrow at 11am I will undertake one of the more painful experiences in my life...my PhD Qualifying Examination. Three hours of grilling by 5 faculty members about why they should let me get a PhD. Three hours of grilling me on my research methods and my project theory and my knowledge about bioengineering in general. Studying for this thing has been so stressful I haven't felt hungry for the last THREE WEEKS. Yergh.
