Sunday I went on a bike ride on the rail trail. About half way between Star City and downtown, I passed an old woman. She had a basket on the front of her bike. In the basket, there was a cat. Just hanging out. It was awesome.

I'm doing autopsies this month. Standing around a dead body casually talking about whatever is on your mind probably shouldn ( Read more... )

So I went home this weekend. Was incredibly lazy, but I did take a bunch of pictures. Knut is getting big. About 20 lbs at 10.5 weeks old. Otherwise, not much else. I did have today off so I missed the first day in the gross room using Merlin. hmm. I wonder how it went (probably didn't change much, the requisitions were the only thing to really ( Read more... )

Favorite songs from my favorite albums of the year. This is a response to Mr Hencke ( Read more... )

I just woke up from a nap and I am incredibly cranky.

BLAH! TUrds!

Yay new music! Erica gave me Conor Oberst's (Bright Eyes) new album. I like it, probably more than any of the Bright Eyes albums. She was also nice enough to let me have the Darjeeling Limited soundtrack. It's interesting. Good for driving because it lets my mind just wander. New albums by Ben Folds and Oasis this month ( Read more... )

So I sit here in my office. This is my research month and as expected, it is basically sitting around waiting for others to do their part. Blah. I have done 1.5 days of work this week. I hate hate hate sitting here. I've been reading my hematopathology book to prepare for the next rotation but I would rather be working on my project. I just want ( Read more... )

Lets see what's new ( Read more... )

Well, pathology is over. I was doing fine in the class until the last exam which bumped me all the way down to a fraction of a point below the class average. Overall I liked it (much more than micro). Oh well, it's over. Pharmacology starts next week. It scares me. I'm currently trying to study for Step 1. I'm basically putting all of my eggs into ( Read more... )

I'm tired of spending more time at the hsc than my apartment. We finish our Micro/Immuno block next week. It has been by far the hardest class I've ever had, not to meantion the spead in which we went through the material. We start Pathology the week after and it goes until March. I think it will be better. It makes sense. There is a progression of ( Read more... )

So first time that I can recall, I was a patient on Monday. In the last year, I've become very used to the health care provider role but didn't know how it was to be the one in the bed. For the first time, I've also had to use an opiod analgesic because the aftermath of a hernioplasty hurts like a B. Getting up and down are now the most taxing ( Read more... )
