A studying update
I have now re-read the syllabus, solidly, for all the pertinent lectures for tomorrow’s gross anatomy exam. This is officially the first time I have prepared appropriately for a test, any test. There’s always something else I can do, of course, so I’m not done, but I’m feeling pretty good right now. Getting enough sleep […]

11.29.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsToday in New York there is a debonair young lad celebrating his 28th birthday. Mr. Duke Kim, I hope it is the happiest of days for you.

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.

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 […]
