More quirks
I thought of some more quirks, and since I keep posting these giant verbal sighs, I’d like to lighten up with a few of those. And I’m still having theme issues, so the bullets will be of my choosing. ? I must wear mascara. I prefer to have my whole face on, but if nothing [...]

How, exactly?
It boggles the mind that Ali is 19. When I met her, she was in 5th grade, and now she’s in college at Northwestern University. Whoa. I feel compelled to say “throws raisins” – that has stuck in my head since reading it on your blog years ago. A very happy birthday to you!

Ovarian metaphor
11.20.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsToday in lab there was a little mention of the ovary’s layers in the histology syllabus. It said they were ill-defined and arbitrary. Perfect, really. Right there in the syllabus is exactly what I’ve been saying histology is for me. Actually, those two words could not be more apropos for how I feel right now, [...]

It’s you!
11.19.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsZoe now says short sentences. The other day, she said, “Look, look! It’s Whyatt!” (Whyatt is a character from one of her favorite shows, Super Why.) My favorite exchange we have is when we greet each other and she says, “It’s you! Awwwww…” and gives me a BIG hug. She’ll go into our closet, shut [...]

Just a run-down of today; little else
It occurred to me tonight watching Sesame Street online how similar SNL and shows of its ilk are to children’s shows. Plenty of variety, short segments, outlandish and improbable scenarios… No wonder they’re so entertaining. Speaking of entertaining, I had my check-up ultrasounds this morning. When the very nice tech had done her part, the [...]

General, School
Tutoring
Last week I had a much-needed diversion from the sciences when I went to an ultrasound workshop. We practiced on each other and became familiar with ultrasound basics. It was pretty exciting, and it reinforced the importance of the anatomy we’re learning. Good show, Family Medicine Student Association. What a great idea. I finally got [...]

CapRock
In the summer between my freshman and sophomore years of college, I went back to Garland and found work as a temp. I had a few good assignments, and I rather enjoyed my job. It was great pay for the effort. One of my favorite assignments was at CapRock Communications. I’m not sure I ever [...]

Welcome
A very happy birthday to my good friend, lovely, smart and funny Rachel (or as Zoe calls her, Ray Chow)! May you have a wonderful year of honor grades, bearded-men viewing, Diet Coke, happy-making music, soccer, ice cream and caramel. I’ll induct you into the Old Lady Club whenever you’re ready. We get discounts on [...]
