I have an instructor named Dr. Olugbemiga Ogunkua. He is an MD/PhD and a cardiothoracic surgeon. He teaches anatomy and he has a very strong African accent. I am not sure where he is from, but he told us today that when he was a child, he used to play with cobras and pet them on their heads. That isn't descriptive though, as there are cobras ( Read more... )

It's another cold day in the 'ville. In fact, it is so cold, that I couldn't get any studying done at home. I sit in bed, and then I get cold, which makes me tired, which means I fall asleep and get nothing done. And that sucks. So I got dressed, as ridiculously as possible, and stopped at the store to get some soda and crap to gnosh on while I ( Read more... )

Sick minds. I suffer from a dental condition called bruxism, in which eccentric nocturnal motions of my jaw exhibit a detrimental effect on the structure of my teeth. It varies, I think, according to my stress level, as far as how much I do it. To minimize the damage to my teeth, I wear a hard, acrylic nightguard while I sleep that takes my bite ( Read more... )

With a shoe. I would estimate that a good twenty five percent of Americans need to be sadistically beaten about the head and face with a shoe. They are that dumb. I just spent a good deal of time explaining to some retard half-wit that works for my bank that I want to close my account because I don't live in that state anymore. He didn't get it ( Read more... )

It's 38 degrees right now. It was eighty-six the other day. What the fuck? Who controls the weather around here? Oh yeah; the goddamn perfect storm. Hurricanes. One of the other great things about living in the south. This weather motivates me...in reverse. It makes me sleepy and it makes me want to be really comfortable. So I just get ( Read more... )

I shaved all of my head today. It was getting too curly and knappy. I hate it when it gets like that, so I cut it all off. It is much cooler now. I really believe that 90 percent of one's body heat leaves through the top of their head. You notice it when there isn't much to catch it. The whole shaved head thing is much easier to look ( Read more... )

There is this awesome machine we have learned about in school. It is for making crowns and other restorations in the office, during the same visit, so that people don't have to have a temporary made and then come back to have a permanent crown fitted. It is really, really, really cool. Of course, this doesn't take the place of conventional ( Read more... )

Today I went to biochem, at 8am, only to find out that there were only a few people there. Apparently, the office of the President cancelled classes for the day. So I went, but I didn't need to go. How nice. Luckily, I was able to get some of the questions that I had answered, which was helpful ( Read more... )
