I don't usually wake up at 5:45am on a day when I'm only required to be somewhere at 8am, but new kitty in the house is better than any alarm clock. He bites my toes, arms, anything really - even my ears, yesterday - to wake me up,  presumably to feed him ( Read more... )

It's funny to come back here and write this post because I completely forgot about my previous entry [310] that I wrote about a month ago. I was what, just starting my rotations? Not even started yet? I could look at the dates but it's not worth digging. Now I'm 6 weeks into third year and halfway through my surgery rotation. I do remember the ( Read more... )

Someone must have really thought that I ought to do surgery, because as I am discovering by people's reactions when I tell them my schedule, I somehow managed to get the toughest surgical rotations at our school. I swear that they weren't really my top choices, but I can't be mad because they weren't my lowest choices either. The interesting thing ( Read more... )

I feel like I am asking myself this question more and more often lately. I'm hitting an impasse where every day is the same (because it is) and the effect of this is I'm feeling blah ( Read more... )

So....I'm back on here because I think it may be good to keep track of what I'm doing, day by day (or so). That way I can look back and realize that I'm actually accomplishing things, and also see when I'm slacking off vs actually getting things done ( Read more... )

I should have written this on Jan 1, but as of now I'm so turned around in my time that I guess it doesn't matter. I think every year around this time I make a resolution to write more in terms of keeping a dairy, but usually I don't keep it. Things just get so hectic. Has anyone who made a promise to write every day actually manage to keep it for ( Read more... )

I absolutely meant to post this in time for the actual day, but somehow or other it slipped my mind until nearly 1 hour past the mark. I saw the reminder earlier today, from LJ no less, in an email account that I rarely use now because it essentially gets too much crap. That's what happens when you are an eternal member of list-servs that no longer ( Read more... )

It ought to be a crime to get up this early. Usually Cytosis drives me to work, but he has a conference this week in Chicago and his flight time was 8:10am. Which meant that if I didn't want to walk 30-odd minutes in the heat on a no-sidewalk road, I had to get to campus with enough time to spare for him to make his flight ( Read more... )

Because this needs to be posted EVERYWHERE.

Holy Fucking Hell.

Just saw this ten minutes ago on CNN. Massive crowds building right now in NY and in front of the White House. Clearly a euphoric moment (if no counter-attacks occur). The question is: what will this do for Obama's presidency/ re-election?

I know, I know, I've been off the scene for months. But I'm still here! Haven't kicked the bucket yet ( Read more... )
