““It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.””

- Philip K. Dick

Our test yesterday was nuts. With 45 minutes left (the test was 8:00 to 1 with no breaks), I still had about 75 questions left. But I always leave the sections I’m best at for the end just in case I do need to rush though. I finished with about four minutes to spare, but I failed it. By one point. Life is crap. Luckily, we get to challenge questions on the test that we thought were ridiculous, and we usually get one or two points back, so I’m counting on that. And I have a feeling that a bunch of people are in the same predicament as me, so there will be lots of challenges.

Today I was studying in Panera, facing the wall, and a friend of mine from school who was studying at a table about 5 feet from me sent me the following IM:

there is the cutest little doctoring family behind you (im assuming)

and the guy looked a little older than the girl so i had the following daydream…that i would marry my handsome attending and we would have beautiful babies and i would work parttime at some clinic that needed me and we would meet up for lunch at panera. the end.
I cracked up, and she looked up and said, “I can’t believe I followed that daydream all the way through back to panera.”

A third beluga whale belonging to the world’s largest aquarium has died, the Georgia Aquarium announced late Monday.

Sad. The beluga whales are my favorite at the aquarium. When they rub against the windows, they look like giant smiling marshmallows.

Giant smiling marshmallows… so cute.

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 16:01:31 -0500

My mom told me a few weeks ago that Christmas is going to be meager at our house this year, and that she doesn’t want any presents from anyone, and frankly, it made me excited. I have fussed at my family for years for their ridiculous Christmas spending. Last year I got so sick of it all that I was tempted to just come back to Macon and forget about all the Christmas hoopla. My mom and her family have always been ok with a “small Christmas”— a few gifts and a low key celebration, but my stepdad’s family goes all out with buying stupid gifts that no one wants and going broke, all to show their “love” for each other. I understand wanting to give to people to show your love for them, Christmas is not about going broke.

I got so fired up after watching this video, and I sent it to my family. My mom said that when she was growing up, she and her friends all made gifts for each other, and she and I agreed that that would be better than buying gifts. So we’re both going to encourage the family to make gifts instead of buy this year. That way 1) you have to think about what the person likes, so the gift might actually be something cool 2) the gift will be a total surprise 3) no one will go broke, and 4) Wal-mart doesn’t win ;).

So the idea of the video is to give the money you would have spent on stupid presents to someone who could actually use it. If we could get our whole family on board this year or next year, I’d like to donate the money to the water project I worked on this summer. The folks over there are starting to get people on board with digging wells or building big filters for the villages. But since these people are nomads, they have very little money, and you’d be amazed with what you could do with $1,000 over there.

If this actually works this year, I’d like to suggest a family mission trip (or local project…) over Christmas next year…. but we’ll see.

I’ve been plugging away at Cardio today. Did some nutrition and behavioral science study this morning and have been doing pharm the rest of the day. Since I have to study cardio all day and night and don’t get to do anything fun for Halloween, I’m going to watch at least part of Hocus Pocus while I eat my dinner. Such a sad existence.

Don’t forget the time change!
