Dinner Talk
I just got back from dinner tonight with my sister's friend Charles and his family. We got to gossip about a certain somebody who interviewed me and asked me if I had seen the movie Legend which stars Tom Cruise. I looked up that movie tonight, it got a turkey rating and in the description, Tom is a "forest-lad" who tries to safe a unicorn in a fictional place called Light. haha. I was 4 when he made that movie. It occurred to me that I never have to write the MCATs again! If only I had done more SRAs (and liked them) at Montessori, I would have kicked ass in the Verbal section. SRAs are virtually identical to Verbal passages, but at a lower level.
It's interesting to hear some of the stories that my parents tell to strangers, even ones that you've never heard yourself or maybe can't remember.
For the record, so that I don't forget, here are some cool things that came up:
*Our family has a detailed pedigree dating back to the 1200's which must be added upon by each generation.
*Some descriptions of ancestors are so detailed, that they have the direction in which their tombstones were facing down to the degree
*My aunt was in medical school but her studies were interrupted by WWII and she never finished
*My sister is the first female doctor in the Mok family
*She is a 4th generation dr.
*Today is D-Day and I happened to be reading in my book today (Shake Hands with the Devil) the point where the author is discussing the events of the Rwandan war on June 6, the 50th anniversary of D-Day
*My grandma is 83 years old
Anything I'm missing Andi?

Wasn't that Dr. Li?
I thought dad said he wanted to be one originally b/c he liked art so much
