			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I haven&#8217;t had a substantive post here since <a href="http://www.sindylee.com/2008/08/14/stephen-cobert-x2-on-off-shore-drilling/" target="_blank">last August</a>, but I&#8217;m back now (hopefully).  There&#8217;s lots of reasons I&#8217;ve been away&#8211; first off, I had a bout of pancreatitis last summer, which despite over a week in the hospital, was followed by repeat instances of pancreatitis (or some similar illness) for months after, resulting in a few more hospitalizations.  After getting over my GI problems (sort of), I&#8217;ve been suffering from constant migraines, threw out my back (I have no idea how, but I could barely walk for days), and just had a car accident.  It&#8217;s been a long nine to ten months and I&#8217;m trying to dig myself out of this hole.  As my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/people/Sindy_Lee/212745" target="_blank">Facebook status</a> reads, I am recovering from life.  And with that comes a return to blogging, including my <a href="http://www.sindylee.com/2008/04/05/idea-farm-part-3-return-of-the-truck/" target="_blank">continuing coverage of IdeaFarm</a> (the truck is back, alive and well parked on the <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&#038;source=s_q&#038;hl=en&#038;geocode=&#038;q=Castro+and+El+Camino,+Mountain+View,+CA&#038;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&#038;sspn=33.572881,78.222656&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;ll=37.3861,-122.083983&#038;spn=0.008218,0.019097&#038;z=16&#038;iwloc=addr" target="_blank">corner of Castro and El Camino in Mountain View</a>) and other random stuff, like my teenage infatuation with the <a href="http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilight.html" target="_blank">Twilight series</a> as well as my continuing love affair with <a href="http://www.depechemode.com/" target="_blank">Depeche Mode</a> (I&#8217;m re-watching <a href="http://101dvd.depechemode.com/" target="_blank">101</a> as I write).  </p>
<p>So, stay tuned.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once again, I&#8217;ve made it to the top of an interesting <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a> search: if you search for &#8220;getting into Stanford,&#8221; one of the top list of results is my 2005 post on <a href="http://www.sindylee.com/2005/10/25/how-to-get-into-stanford/">How to Get into Stanford</a>.  Makes sense, given the handful emails I&#8217;ve gotten from prospective students asking for tips, especially from an alumna.  I always point people to the <a href="http://admission.stanford.edu/">Undergraduate Admissions website</a> and especially to the very helpful <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/site/faq/index.html">FAQ</a>, but I hope my post gives people some helpful advice.</p>
<p><i>(And of course, I&#8217;m still <a href="http://www.sindylee.com/2007/11/07/amusing-google-search-ragtotes/">one of the top hits for &#8220;ragtotes.&#8221;</a>  w00t!)</i></p>
