Well.

I've spent the last 5 weeks with my hands in people's bellies.  (You don't look at someone the same after you sweep your hand over their liver.)  I slept an average of 5 hours a night.  I got to see someone's brain, smushed as it was.  I learned a lot about human nature in sickness and death.  I saw a lot of blood, forgot to eat a few times, ( Read more... )

Well, there you have it, that's why I'm so happy lately :)
