Hopkins pride

I'm not usually very "rah rah" about my alma mater, but I got my Hopkins newsletter today and it included article on Hopkins School of Public Health initiatives in Egypt and Azerbaijan. I have to say that I'm really impressed, and the health oriented clips of "Alam Simsim" (Egyptian Sesame Street) are certainly worth a clicky (they're at the bottom of the first paragraph).

note to self

Somehow I've managed to actually loose core strength in the past month - that's all kinds of no good!

I need more sleep, more vegetables, more exercize, and less sodium.

To add insult to the injury that was aerobics tonight, when I was chatting with Prof. H. about the workshop we're running tomorrow she actually told me "you're not getting any younger." She went on to remind me that I should watch the schedule I keep, especially since I may have campus interviews that will need to be in top form for *hopes*. We were both laughing sardonically when she made the comment, but there's a lot of truth to it - the next few months are far too important for me to cock it up because I want a social life. And, frankly, I'm not an invincible 19 year old anymore.

How do people make it through grad school/the job market at 40? It must be insane.
