Hai friends

I should mention that it is Spring Break! And instead of escaping to some island paradise like the stereotypical college student, I am at home with the fam. I've been trying to get ahead with my schoolwork, but we all know how that goes. I've also been sharpening my cooking skills! After some great deliberation, I decided that having food to eat will be a necessity when I start med school in the fall, seeing as I will have no college dining plan. Two days ago, I made grilled Teriyaki salmon! Today, I made spaghetti with the most ridiculous tomato sauce. They tasted awesome, though that was probably do to my adding generous amounts of oil/butter. I now realize I should have taken pictures to document my first ventures into the culinary realm. I did not think about this while I was eating them.

During my free time, while also watching Scrubs, I have been reading the Cosmology textbook that my professor gave me last semester. In an older post, I talked about determinism and how it makes perfect logical sense that we live in a very deterministic universe where we have no free will. Before the 20th century, every philosopher would have agreed with me. But that was all before quantum mechanics!! It suggests that our futures are not predetermined! Maybe we have free will? I don't know. I'll gather my thoughts and tell you.
