<p>Haha, thanks, that makes me feel all warm inside. There’s about 5-6 inches of snow waiting for me to shovel on the driveway 
I can only imagine a place where “48 degrees” would be a low temperature in the middle of december.</p>
<p>I’m pursuing an economics/math major at USC, while taking pre-med reqs. Yeah I know it’s a weird combination, and although I know I want to be a doctor (a surgeon to be exact), should anything come up that would prevent me from finishing up my career path, I want a degree I can get a good job for. Besides, I love investing currently (even with small money) and although I don’t plan on doing it full time, I think it’s something I could make a living off of and be happy long term.</p>
<p>I don’t think I’m gonna pursue music officially, but I’ll definitely play on my free time. If I can get a hold of a Piano, it would be awesome, but otherwise I’d be just as happy bringing my guitar along with me. I do music to help me unwind and relax, and I’m afraid that if I put grades and deadlines into it, the part that drew me to it would get lost.</p>
<p>My essay was fairly well thought out in my opinion, I had it reviewed by my AP lit teature and he liked how I put both vivid detail and brought perspective into an ordinary event like a car accident (well I guess it isn’t ordinary…i hope…:)) while drawing insight into my professional goals due to a major family health issue in my childhood. I liked it, if it means anything.</p>
<p>As far as recommendations go, I don’t know about my counselor but I’ve taken one of the most challenging curriculums in my grade, and am the only one who’s balanced it out with athletics. I got another recommendation from my teacher, which she showed me and it was absolutely glowing. So I feel that there won’t be any major snags there.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for your help, it’s been awesome so far.</p>
