For some reason, I was the pilot of an F/A-18 Superhornet, but it had side by side seats, as opposed to tandem. But not just any regular Naval plane, a Blue Angel. I was the #7 pilot, and alot of what I did was announcing for the rest of the team. But, whenever somebody wasn't feeling well, I covered for them. The number seven plane has two ( Read more... )

You know, things in my life have changed alot. I went from being nothing, to being a firefighter. I went from being a firefighter, to being an EMT. I went from being the quintessential bachelor to being married. I went from being an average student to a great student. Most recently, I went from being an average joe, to a student doctor. And ( Read more... )

I was asleep, but I am not now. I had a very frightening dream ( Read more... )

I am proud to say that I spent all of this weekend, save for twenty minutes at Wafflehouse, twenty minutes at the barber, and a few minutes on the phone, completely immersed in my studies. And the cool thing is, I don't even have test on any of this until the end of the month. That's right folks, studying long before the big event. This is ( Read more... )

What a day. Things started off with the Comcast dude coming over and fixing my cable internet. In the two weeks that I have been here, the cable internet hasn't worked for about ten days total. So, basically, it hasn't worked at all. Well, the man came, and tried to fix it. Apparently, the freak that lived here before me couldn't live without ( Read more... )

It is cool to finally use all of the scientific info that I have amassed over the last few years to make sense of what is (normally) thought of as ( Read more... )

I always wondered how doctors were so proficient at anatomy and physiology. I mean, I took it before. I thought that I had a pretty good grasp of how the body worked. More importantly, I have enough background in chemistry and biology to allow me to figure out how things work in the body, and the things that I don't implicitly know (at this ( Read more... )

One of the weirder things about living in a different time zone when you have lived in the same one for thirty years is that the days get all screwy. I am tired at weird times, and totally awake at other times when I should be sleeping. Monday will be a bit different, as all of my classes will be starting early that day. And for the rest of the ( Read more... )

One of my dear friends gave me "The West Wing" on DVD as a going away gift. I just watched two episodes. That show is great. I am not the kind of guy that gets sobby while watching movies or TV. But that show, man, it really gets me sometimes. It is just so damn believable. I think that if I ever met Martin Sheen in person, I would feel ( Read more... )
