Today was the last day of my ambulatory rotation. It was interesting, but I'm pretty sure I could never do out-patient medicine. The ID clinic I worked at 2 days a week was really fun, but that was mostly the doctor, his scribe, and the PA student I worked with. It was funny because I often have trouble expressing or explaining myself with words, ( Read more... )

I saw The Hobbit/ again, but this time in IMAX, which meant I got to see the first few minutes of the new Star Trek movie. But, I didn't know that's what I was watching (seeing as the opening consisted of Mickey Smith having a sick daughter and I thought it was just another trailer) until I heard Mr Cumberbatch's voice from off screen. I wonder if ( Read more... )

We played the club team in Ultimate on Tuesday and...we actually won. This a feat once considered impossible, but with the combination of some of the most talented players, the fact that they had literally just finished a previous tough game and were exhausted, and that they played 3 girls on the field to our two, we managed to do so. It was quite ( Read more... )

I used to (and still do, sometimes) have dreams in which I had the ability to just run without getting fatigued or out of breath and I would just feel strong and powerful.

Lately, I've been able to do just that. A friend and I did a foam run this past weekend and we blasted past almost everyone (at the very least, no one passed us). She's the crazy ( Read more... )

We had our powderpuff game against the MSIs yesterday, so hopefully this will be the last time I use this tag. It was a complete shutout: we beat them 41 to 14. In spite of practicing the short-pass to me, we never used it, so I got to amuse myself by bouncing the first-years around (quite literally). It was pretty hilarious. They had two bigger ( Read more... )

We had the renal module exam yesterday. I actually studied for this one. Well, I mean, I spent more time studying than usual. It helped that after being a student for almost two decades, I only recently discovered that I can't study like normal people (of course) who pace themselves and take a break every hour. This is how they told us to study ( Read more... )

For some reason, I really like rollerblading. As soon as class let out yesterday I hopped in my car and went to the greenway. Today, , after I rotated my wheels (I feel so handy), I did the same. And I'm quickly getting better both technique-wise and cardiovascularly. I need to find a longer trail. And I see the same random horse (though in ( Read more... )

First week down. And, I must say, it was a bit underwhelming. Most of the lectures were of topics that I was very familiar with. Most people would feel a bit relieved to have such a familiar basis. However, with everyone stressing how important it is to study, the amount of stress I feel is incredible because I know that I should be studying, and ( Read more... )

I know what's causing my headaches! I have a coffee addiction! I can't believe I just realized it actually, I can, it was just that I didn't want to think I was actually addicted to something. I didn't have any coffee this morning, hence the current headache.

On the plus side of things, no, not my ass, I...met people here. People whom I actually ( Read more... )

My friend and I hit the bike park again on Thursday. It was off the chain literally at one point as my chain had actually come off the gears.

We started off on Loop 1 and, holy cow, we ran across a pair of gents actually unicycling. Off-road unicycles? With the fat tires and everything? Sometimes this world is an awesome place.

Her bike is yellow ( Read more... )
