I thought today was a day I will want to remember. I was able to go to BYU's forum and listen to Capt. James Lovell of the U.S. Navy, and NASA speak on "The Successful Failure." This man was the captain for the Apollo 13 mission that nearly didn't make it home after a faulty oxygen tank exploded. He was funny, and very simply told the story.
For me, the profound thing was to look at this man and think that he has been further from earth than any other human . . . ever. He has seen the "earthrise" above the lunar surface (although he has never been to the moons surface). He has orbited the moon 11 times. Ten times on the Apollo 8 mission and once on the Apollo 13 mission. He has done something that NO ONE ELSE has done (except the other two men on Apollo 13).
Another reason this day is memorable - I heard back from Touro University - California College of Osteopathic Medicine. I was not accepted, but put on the High Priority Waitlist. This means that there is a chance that I can get in depending on how many of the other people they interview are rejected, or reject the acceptance. So my chances are ok. All right, I don't know what my chances are anymore, but at least I am not in the low priority waitlist, right?
