weekend update...

you know that you're in the thick of medschool when netter's passes as bathroom reading...

had a great friday--fueled only by caffeine and sheer will-power, i muscled through three hours of mobio, got my medical fires stoked by our first "continuity of care" class (that's where we start to see patients), enjoyed a free lunch and a talk from one of my favorite groups--Physicians for Human Rights--and had a decently productive afternoon of group work and a library training session...

at 5 p.m., having no sleep and having been sick caught up with me, and i crashed on my futon for a couple of hours before heading out to the pub with classmates, only to follow it up with bowling... the kind with the large ball--not candlepin...

on my first toss, i slid too far, lost my feet and crashed on my tailbone... with my tailbone and ego bruised, i proceeded to bowl a 55... not a bad day's work if you ask me...

on sat, a couple of us headed up to the city to see 'murderball,' which i highly recommend to any of you who haven't been to a great documentary or a great sports film in a long time, because this one fits both of those bills to the T... it was definitely worth the three hours in the car... plus, the theater (The Lagoon) is an awesome indie movie house, and they've got a great line-up of films, and it's in a pretty chill neighborhood to boot... getting to know the twins a bit at a time...

and since then, well, it's been a combo of the books and sleep... i wish i could trade a little more sleep for a bit of studying, but, well, i do love my rest...

and thus begins another great week...

cheers,
