2 for 1 special

How special 2 blog posts in one day. I must really be avoiding studying. Maybe not. I thought maybe a little update on my life would be helpful... because i know you're not just interested in what i think but what i'm doing. Maybe.
The semester is winding down and finals are upon us before a fortnight is up. However we begin next semester's material before the let us escape for a short christmas break. I'd like to say it's not all studying... and it's not ALL...just MOSTLY. I have gotten to know Augusta and have hit some neat restaurants and become slightly familiar with the local music scene.
Went to the mountains a couple of weekends ago, hiked about 5 miles. That was a nice outing... made me realize i'm getting a wee bit out of shape.
The most "crazy" thing i suppose is the lack of sleep. 6 hours is a great night's rest recently, and i only nap when concerned non-medical friends make me do so.
But it's not as bad as the 4-hour-a-night schedule i decided to keep up a few weeks back. It actually worked, i got an A on the test, but was brutal. The schedule i chose was "polyphasic" which sounds weird but is actually just a multi-phase sleep cycle, meaning sleep 4 hours at night and 2 half hour naps during the day. But it's hard to sleep in the library, even if a friend loans you his cubicle and camping mattress for a bit. But like i said, finals are coming so we may see this hectic schedule reemerge.
Also, thinking about applying for a research and teaching job this summer.
Woot.
Now to sleep for 6 hours.

Quick update.

I have a pretty big test tomorrow... then as one of the professors described, "The mother of all tests" is coming up in 2 more weeks... so i'll be pretty busy for awhile. I'm almost halfway done with the semester, though.
I watched the amazing race on tv tonight. I want to do that! I think i should stop watching travel shows, they just make me want to go places. But as mark reminded me... you can just watch them not to remind you of what you'd rather be doing... but it's ok to watch them because they can inspire you to keep doing what you're doing now... so that you'll have the ability to go these places one day.
yeah, yeah. reality...
he's right though.

WHOA i still write???

Hello to anyone who reads this poor decrepit hapless blog with a very neglectful author.
I have an excuse really. I'm in med school now, and that requires most of my brain cells. In fact it requires my complete attention and all of my strength most of the time. I'm not kidding, it's arduous and i often wonder why i'm doing it anyway, but then i realize i'd be even more bored if i weren't here.
Now, whenever i am thinking, it is usually about things that most people wouldn't want to hear about anyway, like how Cranial nerve IV innervates one eye muscle but CN VI innervates another specific eye muscle and making up mnemonics and such to remember such mundane details.
Anyhow, in the lack of anything really interesting for anyone to hear of from me, here's a post that i found a bit heartwarming, from mine and Mark's friends in Atlanta.
And if i think of anything interesting that isn't gory or really unimportant to the everyday lives of normal people... maybe i'll post again. Till then... enjoy this one.

My new prized posession

Ah happiness. I have a desk chair. Nevermind the mere trifling fact that i do not have a desk yet. I have a chair and i am happy. For my chair is green. and from ikea at that. And you get to spin it around to raise and lower it.
