dermatology: dusted...

dermatology was finished off today, and we had the whole afternoon off--from 2 on... a rare pleasure for us, what with all of our classroom time and all...

how did i spend it? I actually went to the gym, and five other classmates were there... great minds... and i spent about four hours working on my novel, which, although i won't discuss with anyone other than my editor until it's completed, seems like it might come along fairly nicely...

if i could get it finished by the end of the semester, pass all of my courses successfully, and have a good time along the way, i think i would be pretty happy with the semester...

anyhoo, as promised, some more shots from the ugly sweater party/80s music sing along of last semester:



here's tushar and beth looking furious... about what i have no idea... probably the guy who lives on the first floor who complained about the murmurs coming from the apartment to the cops... sometimes, i really, really miss the tolerance of the city




this shot actually made its way into someone's pathology presentation... something about a healthy diet not consisting of regular helpings of me...



high kicks all around from the class of '09... i think this must have been a stirring number of "come on eileen" by dixie's midnight runners... a classic...



ugly, ugly sweaters...




that's right, kemosabe... the "jump on it" dance has invaded the midwest... I was a bit shocked that people had even heard about this... but here we are, rocking it to the sugar hill gang...

and that's it for now...

cheers,
