If I had a great memory....

... this post would be several pages because it's been so long since I've written anything. However, I only remember succinct details of medical terminology these days, so I will do a recap.

This past month has been eventful, test-wise. Four major exams and two small ones. Have also begun work on a ppt for our research project (SEFOM: Students Exploring Frontiers Of Medicine) and will present that next Tuesday. Have done a couple of labs including one where we were able to catheterize an anesthetized pig. Fairly exciting for folks who have only watched from the bleachers or worked on specimens saturated with various preservatives. Another included one of the computerized mannequins and was actually quite helpful. - Tests went well and am going to make a concerted effort to stay on track and even add a bit of balance (i.e. fun and exercise) to things. Hopefully, will be able to do that...

Weather has been rainy and dreary. Continue to think I will be looking for a drier, sunnier place for residency. Summers are wonderful here, but they last only a few months. Have a few places in mind.

The new apartment is much, much quieter. Am able to study fairly well and enjoying the extra space and the view. The new mattress took forever to "recover" (memory foam) but seems to be softening. This means my memory is improving... Have ordered a topper and a mattress pad to see if I can get it "just right"... Goldilocks, eat your heart out.

Am slowly getting to know my classmates. In fact, went over to a classmate's house for a pre-prom gathering last night. Skipped the prom. Feel like I'm just too old for the noise and excessive legal drugs (alcohol) of a prom party. Was pretty much done with that almost 30 years ago. But, always enjoy the company and new perspectives at a quieter gathering. Was long asleep before the first person fell down.

Off to my ppt. There you have it. I confess.
