*Experienced my first Canadian Thanksgiving; my building had a potluck with ham, potatoes, turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, pie, etc. There is already plans among the American students in the building to have our own Thanksgiving potluck next month, so I get two Thanksgivings this year. :D (I am okay with this since I didn't get ( Read more... )

OHSHIT! Jill! What a coincidence. For my premodern class, the professor is making us do book reports based on our interests, and he actually gave me Selling Songs and Smiles because it has to do with gensex. XD It hasn't arrived yet, but I'm excited to read it.

HOLY SHIT! :D It's like our professors psychicly connected to have us read the same book! (My advisor recommended this one to me.) I have a copy here and it looks awesome

Remind me what your advisor's name is again? I bet they're buddies or something. XD

Mikael Adolphson. Who's yours? And probably- the field is tiny.

"occasional Indian restaurant" threw me for a loop until I read the only serving food certain days thing. Anyhow, glad to hear everything's going well. And glad that you're showing grad school who's boss.

...

You're boss.

Yep.

Yeah, it's kind of a weird cafe-thing. My friend's been pushing me to go with her for Indian food, but we keep making plans on days where they don't serve it. Finally got a chance though!

Haha, I hope so. How's your rotations going?

I like that it's only sometimes a restaurant. I increasingly get urges to open my own coffeehouse-type place and run it as I see fit. Of course, that would require money and time, neither of which I have in great abundance these days.

Rotations are swell; this is my last week in pediatrics (and I'm pretty sure I never have to do that again-- though I do like the kids better than I thought I would, I have been so sick this whole month and can't wait not to have to spend 12 hours a day making children scream and cry. Really, it's going to be awesome to not have to hold my patients down to look into their ears, noses, and throats and for them to be able to give me accurate histories of their illnesses. And while it's fun taking medical histories completely in Spanish, explaining medical things in non-medical terminology is hard enough without my added dearth of Spanish medical vocabulary, anxious parents, and rambunctious kids). But, oh my, do I love surgery.
