  So I’m still finding my stride, to include prioritizing my limited computer time. I’m keeping up with reading all the blogs I read, and not so much updating my own. We had a good visit the past several days with Joel’s Mom and sisters. My Mom is in Wisconsin with my Dad at a major […]

  A week with no posts?! What a slacker! This program is no joke. I’m loving it. I mean it’s crazy hard and I’m sure it’s only going to get crazier in the semester proper, but what an experience. My classmates get more interesting every day (in a good way), and slowly but surely I’m finding […]

  No

  Zoe’s new favorite word is definitely “no.” Whatever question you ask her, the answer is “Noooo,” complete with an emphatic head-shake. It’s cute, not adamant, because sometimes she seems to mean yes, and she’s just saying “no” because it’s her favorite. This morning she stirred at 6:53AM, a mere 7 minutes before my alarm was […]

  (Happy 17-month birthday, Zoe! Props to Joel for capturing this. As if any moment is better than another, be sure to catch Zoe raising the roof at the end.)

  Right this second I do not care about figuring out what my particular study style is. News flash: I am in this program in large part because I did worse in science classes and on the MCAT than my peers, which is because I do not know how to study. Can’t someone just tell me […]

  This is a brief study break to say a couple of things: 1. My school is Apple unfriendly. Joel put Vista on my MacBook so I can dual boot. The result is the unshakeable feeling that my machine has been violated. I’m even using IE to write this post. Yeeugh. 2. I cannot get enough […]

  So far so good! We had our first set of lectures today – biochemistry – and a brief talk about coping with the medical curriculum. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity of this program. I am a wee bit rusty, and this is just the jump start I need. My classmates and professors […]

  Tomorrow the pre-entry program begins! My Mom arrived this afternoon, the house is unpacked with mostly everything in its place, and I think I have the details worked out to get to school in the morning. I would say that I hope I’m doing the right thing, but I am more confident than that. I […]

  Another munchkin update

  We took Zoe for her belated 15 month checkup today. She is 21.5 pounds and 31.5 inches, with a head circumference of 18.5 inches. For some reason we thought her next checkup was at 18 months (that reason being that our Dallas pediatrician told us that would be the next one), though oddly enough she […]
