some notes and some content...
hey all,
so, i've been back here for almost two days now, and it's been pretty easy to get back into the swing of it all, save for the sleep schedule--even a one hour time zone buffer can't cushion the transition of a 3 a.m. to noon EST to a midnight to 7 a.m. CST schedule... not even my horrific caffeine habit can mollify the experience of the morning...
i think the second half of the year will be a bit less packed than the first half, but maybe that's me just being optimistic... not having anatomy, and having mostly short organ system courses i think will help (especially with my diminishing attention span... even the first day of our dermatology course (i know--quite the privilege for medstudents) was incredibly interesting, although it still takes quite a bit of effort to keep attentive for three and half hours of lecture.
I guess the long and short of it is that i'm happy to be back in school doing something and seeing all of my classmates, but that the withdrawal from friends, family and cosmopolitan boston is acutely painful (getting on the shuttle was a bit depressing, but seeing everyone again was really exciting)... i'll keep you updated with my comings and goings as always...
and before i go, some interesting articles for those of you with a science background who are interested in some pretty inane topics (actually, the economists among you may enjoy these as well... and maybe anyone with some sense of humor).
the first is on spoons:

and the second is on hangover treatment:

cheers,
