dive into family weekend...

i can't believe i've been gone for three full months, but it's true, and i find myself staring headlong into family weekend (in fact, my mom, grandmother, and steve {mom's boyfriend)) are already in town...

it'll be extremely nice to see everyone--really, it's quite difficult to believe how long it's actually been--but the weekend will be tricky, as the medical school has scheduled a number of events which i'm not sure how interesting will be to anyone... waning attention spans and all... we'll see how the relatives and rents fare in a mini-medschool offered on saturday morning...

as for me, well, i'm disappointed at the lackluster end of the baseball season, but i guess if they were going to be drag out awful, i'd rather them get it over with and lose, so i wouldn't have to invest all that time in following them... should be an interesting off season...

in school, we've been doing head and neck in anatomy, and it's just wonderfully complicated... i've really enjoyed these dissections as there's so much room for teasing fine structures apart--very interesting stuff... all those Ear-Nose-Throat guys must have quite the hands... and not to continue the train of disbelief, but I can't believe we've covered more than half of the body's anatomy... it doesn't feel like we've covered half, but we have... maybe it's just surprising how much we know about this stuff already... just knowing the geography of the body enables you to participate in so many more discussions in the medical realm...

and by far the most shocking development in life:

i cleaned the apartment...

anyway, gotta run...

cheers,
