First internet access in what...6 days?  I'm at the vet school right now, where they finally have internet.  I still have no power at my place.  When the storm hit Monday, my living room and bedroom were flooded with water that blew in from the balcony and window ledge.  I tried to stop the flow with towels, but there was only so much I could do.  ( Read more... )

Got my water and canned goods all stocked up.  Things are looking a little more ominous, especially with those double-choppers periodically flying overhead.  I think my biggest concern is:  If there is no running water (and thus no flushing of the toilet), where do I....you know....drop the kids off at the pool?  Seriously, gross.  Suggestions ( Read more... )

Classes are cancelled for Tuesday.  Our pharmacology exam, which was supposed to include material from next Tuesday's lecture, has now been postponed to the following Monday, two days from our clinical pathology exam.  Umm....kill me now.  And how are we going to make up all that lost lecture time?  I've never seen so many sad faces at once when it ( Read more... )

The marathon has started.  Fortunately, I think I was a little more prepared this time around.  However, despite my best efforts, I'm already behind.  I'm going to try to not let it get to me though.  I think I drove myself insane first year just trying to keep on top of everything, giving up my life, and thinking about how stressed out I was.  I ( Read more... )

Should I get a new laptop?  Yes/no/maybe....check one.  I'm shopping around online right now.  I've saved up a bunch of money this year and I figure $1000 won't be too much to add to the debt I'll accumulate in the coming years.

I just saw my histology/micro lab on T.V.....on a movie!  Cool.  Too bad it's a crappy movie (Dukes of Hazzard).  Oh, BTW ( Read more... )

By far, the funniest cancer has to be a malignant schwannoma.  Just say it out loud.  It really is funny.

I will make it all the way through Cho's notes today.

Whew!  That felt good.  Okay, nose to the grindstone.

If you don't want to watch the whole thing at least skip to 2:30 and watch the rest.  The ending is the best thing ever.

Shit.  I really need to study path for Tuesday.  Big update later when I get a break from it all for a week.

Yesterday was open house.   More than 4,000 people came through and enjoyed the exhibits.  For the first two hours of my day, I worked in the anatomy lab in the "discovery box" quadrant.  Not many people came through during that time because it was early on a Saturday morning.  The discovery boxes turned out to be a big hit, though.  What we had ( Read more... )

Oh, what the FUCK is that noise outside my aparment?  It's this loud, grating, high-pitched 'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE' that I've heard intermittently for the past two nights.  And no, it's not my usual tinnitus because the sound goes away when I plug my ears.

It's driving me mad!  MAD, I tell you!
