If tomorrow you were about to die, and you were allowed to relive any 60 seconds of your life before the end, which minute would you pick?

So I've been in New Haven now since August 24 or so.  About a month, at any rate.   New Haven is about 120K people (2-3x the size of cville) and a lot more urban, though still not that big.  I guess I'll start out with some of the basic stuff.  There are 99 people in my class, 12 of which are MD/PhD's including me.  The medical campus is fairly ( Read more... )

So tomorrow I finally leave for Connecticut.  It's been an awesome two weeks since coming back from Europe.  Got to go to Charlottesville and visit some old friends, played through Final Fantasy 4:  The After Years, did some clothes shopping, found a copy of Persona 3 (that I doubt I'll play till Christmas), and tore through the snacks my parents ( Read more... )

Next item:  Go to France

 Saturday was the beginning of my trip to the RoK.  I found out that it takes about an hour to get to Narita from Nippori (a station near me) via the Keisei Line, so that's useful information.  When I move out in less than 4 weeks, it should be a lot easier to haul all4 of my suitcases there instead of Ueno which is over twice as far away.  Flight ( Read more... )

Friday night I had dinner with the pretty female grad student from the lab, her bf, and her two friends that work with her bf at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (Tokyo Ika-Shika).  I was prepared for another night of Japanese but her one friend lived and worked in the US for 9 years and the other studied at Imperial College in the UK so they ( Read more... )
