Here's a shot of the courtyard inside my townhouse complex. Just one of a few of the photos I made with my new camera. Check out my photo feed here
The rest of this weekend, however, will most likely be devoted to studying and taking practice quizzes. Hopefully, at least.

Studying - 0, Playing with my new toy - 1
Today I had the good fortune of skipping the only two lectures of the morning and sleeping until 10 am, and getting some much needed rest (I've been sick lately, so it was worth it). A little after getting up and getting dressed, I heard the door knock, and to my delight it was the FedEx man. In his hands, for me, was my new digital camera!
Tonight, after reading through a case, some lecture notes, and watching a histology DVD, I decided to pursue something more exciting. Namely, taking pictures with my new toy. I bought it in hopes that when I go on some major trips (which I seem to do every year), I could take more artistic, photographer style shots, and maybe print some for hanging. To get there though, I need practice. And that's exactly what I did.
Here's some of my better shots from tonight's practice run. Let me know what you think.

Here I come, back from the dead
I think that it's time for an evaluation of my blogging. New idea, stop trying to be a novelist writing a book, and just put junk up that faraway friends can read in a minute or so. Less length, more frequent updates, better blogging.
Yesterday I had a great final ACE experience at the family practice clinic I was at this block. I got to do a couple of patient interviews on my own, sans doctor, and did just great. Of particular note was a guy in for a diabetes followup, and I got to talk to him about how his medication was working, his diet, blood sugar control, and asked all the right questions according to my preceptor. In the end, we told the guy that his diabetes was under control without medication, and that he was doing just great. That's what makes me look forward to medicine, the victories.
