Perinatal clinical is not my thing. Don't like babies, not interested in pregnant mothers, less interested in recently pregnant mothers. I will admit watching a C-section was kinda neat. And nothing resembles a placenta. It's like a corpulent pancake off the griddle of nightmares, packed with bulbous cysts of blood in shades stretching the spectrum from blue to purple to red. The baby emerged silent...

And now the update you've been waiting (and waiting, and waiting) for!
So, Dragon*Con was nerdtastic in its unequalled manner. This was my 7th trip and the best by far of the lot. Had great company for the trip, with new special friend Jenni and henna/glitter artist Wendy joining my usual friends in room sharing. The band selection was particularly good, with Abney Park, Hellblinki,...

heehee... thanks!

Things didn't go as I expected yesterday... thanks for the good vibes anyways.
School has begun once again, the 3rd semester out of 4. This time around:
Pediatrics! Kids kids kids. I get along with children well enough (being a nerd leaves me quite open to their flights of fancy), but I'm not sure how much I want to deal with them in a medical environment. I did get the rotation site I wanted, though: oncology and respiratory...

hehe, thanks! I don't think it will all be 'real world'. i may still shoot more sets 
Update time!
Summer semester is over. Absolute Hell. Not the fun sort of Hell where youre merely boiled in pitch and have your testicles stapled to your tonsils, either. It sucked. The guy with the Ph.D. dropped out. Smartest girl in my class and current crush object bowed out of the accelerated program and will pay another semesters worth of exorbitant out-of-state tuition...

Wheee, update time. Needless to say, school keeps me fully occupied. I have very little time for fun, and when I take it I seem to pay for it later. The exams are going...alright, but I'd like to do better. I'm self-competitive, so not getting an A irritates me no end. I'm at the half way point of the summer term at least, and after...

you have to go to greece..travel to the islands..you will like it..
Real update soon -- just so busy with school, to the point where it's really weighing me down. A good friend dropped from the accelerated program to the 2 year version and has gone from being perpetually stressed to shamelessly elated.
I have pics of self in scrubs, which should amuse, and some stories of clinicals. Sometime soon. Promise. And now back to work.

you made me smile. really really big! i'm still smiling...
First semester complete! A full week of life entirely lost to exams, but it went well. Most raised or maintained my final grade; only the last, Pharmacology, dropped it from A to A-. Just no time for the studying. But it's done, and I have a whole summer...well, 3 days...to enjoy before it begins again. Needless to say, the liquor cabinet's contents are reaching their...

thanks, sweetie. that was a really awesome thing to say. i'm sure i'll figger it out.

Congrats!
Finals begin tomorrow. 7 classes, 7 comprehensive exams. Imagine my excitement. 
The light at the end of the tunnel is not, as you might think, the last exam. Rather, I have my gaze firmly fixed on this Saturday and the Raleigh World Beer Festival, 4 hours of drinking deliciousness to numb my overtaxed brain for a while.
After finals I have 4 days to...

Ah it sounds like a really fascinating life, everyones answers are making me so happy. It's so good that people care and have passions. I love the job I'm doing at the moment but I couldn't do it for long as I couldn't survive on the wages, one of my ideas if to do my training but I'm not sure yet, also perhaps art therapy as that would connect what I'm doing now with my first degree. Ah it's so hard, so many great things to fill ones time with. Good luck with all your exams :-)
Just a brief update, as school work has me scheduling times to take breath, much less anything enjoyable.
The schooling goes alright. I wish I were doing better, but it's a sad fact most of us in the accelerated program face: we're not going to be straight-A students anymore. Those who are keeping the grades high typically managed to test out of one or two...

Spring Break, let the hallelujahs ring forth. Not that I'm doing anything special, really; I just have more time to crack open some books and get ready for the second half of the semester. It does mean I get to dig more freely into my Netflix queue, which is nice. I enjoyed Miike's Audition[/] Monday night (not for the squeamish), and am eagerly anticipating Let...

Thank you so much for your comment. 
School (UNC-Chapel Hill) is fairly insane. I-N-S-A-N-E. Just over 20 hours of classes and labs each week, most of them with weekly quizzes or assignments. I'm hitting the initial exam phase, leaving very little time to go out and have fun.
So last Saturday I went out and had fun, in the form of the Dirge Factory's Temptation night, a sort of goth-fetish gathering they...

Thanks so much for the compliment on my Member Review set!
Okay, long past time to update as usual.
EDIT: Check out these amazing astronomy photographs. Beautiful.

Had a great party that Friday, to which I forgot to bring my camera. Even better, though, was a visit by my friend Laurel, current roommate of my odious ex-girlfriend but all-around awesome person nonetheless. We watched a long list of movies and had a most excellent...
