Homeward Bound
09.20.08 | Permalink | 9 CommentsA few weeks ago, Chief and Sarge were placed into a new home. This decision was made after much consideration, mostly painful. On our list of pros and cons, the only pros were that 1. I loved them, and 2. They acted as good Hoovers when Zoe dropped food. As heavily as those weighed, the [...]

House to myself today
With Joel at DjangoCon (read: Geek Convention) in California this weekend (I’m insanely jealous; mandatory attendance to anatomy lab won out though), and Gigi and Zoe on a grocery adventure, I have a few hours alllll to myself today. I spent some time making brownies, reading developmental anatomy by the pool, taking pictures of the [...]

Continued
I did return to the Metro office, and I did obtain my student discounted Q Card. Now I ride the bus for a mere half dollar per ride, and for every 50 rides, I get five rides free. Huzzah. I rode the rail to and from downtown before and after getting my card. Instead of [...]

Transport
08.26.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsI’m out of tokens for my complex’s shuttle, and on principle I refuse to get more. Its schedule is unpredictable, and my time is at a premium right now. I rode the Metro bus yesterday with maximal success. Today, however, I had trouble getting out the gate on foot. Eventually I was able to wedge [...]

T minus 7 hours 40 minutes
08.18.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsVery quickly now because I need to get in bed… White Coat Ceremony and my family’s visit were awesome. I’m so SO happy to be where I am right now. Retreat was fun. I met many of my classmates and smashed my boobs during the human bowling portion of our version of Olympics. I really [...]

A few loosely related items
Pre-entry is complete. I feel SO much more ready for school now. I’m kind of in awe that such a program was available to me, and that the past five weeks went by so quickly. The gears in my head are now turning. Props to Rachel and to my tank group for getting me through [...]

In lieu of studying
08.03.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsThe last week of the pre-entry program is upon us, including four exams. One – at least I – might have thought this weekend would be one of studying, with the occasional break for consumption or sleep. While there certainly was studying, there was also fun. The whole week was rather extracurricular heavy, even though [...]

Yawning while typing
07.30.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsSo 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 [...]

Before I dive into the books again…
07.22.08 | Permalink | 5 CommentsA 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 [...]

Right now
07.13.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsRight 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 [...]
