A photo that makes me sad.  As far as personal photos, I really don't have many that make me sad.  I can think of a few pictures of family members who have passed away that would definitely fall under that category, but I don't have those in digital form, so I'll go with a bittersweet photo.

This is a photo of most of my suitemates and I at one of ( Read more... )

A photo that makes me happy.  There are LOTS of those, but I'll keep to one, since I'm two days behind....

This is Chester, my 3 year old Havanese (well, my parents' dog, but since I live ten minutes down the road from them, the lines kind of blur).  He definitely replaced me when I went to school (if you were to look up "empty nest syndrome," my ( Read more... )

...but I WILL hammer out 30 entries!

Today I'm supposed to be writing about whatever tickles my fancy.  Since I left the topic of Curt sort of dangling in my entry from Feb. 1, I think I'll explain myself a bit further, though that won't be all that interesting.... but here goes :-)

He's one of my classmates in the MD/PhD program.  We have an ( Read more... )

Favorite quote.  As usual, I have several.  I used to write down quotes that I would come across, and looking back now, most now seem far too sentimental, even maudlin.  There are a few that I still find beautiful, though:

“I long ago abandoned the notion of a life without storms, or a world without dry and killing seasons.  Life is too complicated ( Read more... )

Okay, I think it's still February 4th, since it's Thursday night and I haven't gone to bed yet, so I believe this entry isn't late.

Today I'm supposed to write about my favorite book.  First Aid for Step 1, without a doubt. ;-)  No, seriously.  It's organized and straightforward and always engaging, as I don't know anything yet....

It's pretty ( Read more... )

...for no good reason.  I was going to write the day 3 entry last night, but started reading about colorectal cancer, and you know, that's always a page-turner.

Anyway, here's day 3.

This should be easier than yesterday, since I watch TV much more than movies...though still not much.  I haven't had a TV in my home since high school, and then my ( Read more... )

Here I am again for day two of the meme.

But first, I want to share with everyone that I spent three hours this morning learning about acute and chronic diarrhea.  Who knew there was so much colon, so many tropical bugs, and so many ways to describe stool...and they're all utterly disgusting.  Gastroenterologists are truly a special breed.

On to the ( Read more... )

Hello, friends.  I keep saying I'm going to post something, and I do read my friends page occasionally, but I can't ever really think of anything substantial to post, so I never get around to it.  I've been busy (second year of med school, in other words when everyone disappears into the library and is never seen or heard from again, co-directing ( Read more... )

Don't you love it when you can go back months, years, what seems like lifetimes, and feel like you've never left?

A real entry coming sometime, I promise!

Don't read this first paragraph expecting it to have any real point; these are just observations ( Read more... )
