Catch Up

Sorry about the long delay since the last post! I am playing catch up in school and my exams start in less than a week. This will be the end of block 6, my 11th straight month of medical school with only 2 weeks off for Christmas. Needless to say, I am ready for a break and thankfully it is coming up soon. For the month of July Lisa and I will be flying back to MI on the 6th, leaving with my family for Disney World from the 11th until the 19th, and then staying around until we head back to Texas on the 1st of August.

Besides the fact that vacation time is almost here, some other good news is that I just found out yesterday I was chosen for a spot on Baylor's Curriculum Committee. This is a group of administrators at the school who consider changes to the curriculum, organize feedback from students, and sometimes even advise the AAMC on what should be required course work for pre-medical students. There are two student representatives from each class, and I was picked out of the maybe 14 students who applied. It should be a fun thing to do, and the time requirement is really not too bad.

I also have posted some albums to my picasa site (click the my photos link on the right). There are a bunch of pictures from the graduations and a few shots of when Lisa's parents came down to visit.

One thing I discovered when we went to Galveston is that the octopus water slide thing at Moody Gardens is gone! This was one of the highlights of visiting Houston each summer growing up. Some of its arms were stairs leading up to its head, and others were water slides. Underneeth there was a sub marine with cool stuff inside. Now they have replaced it with a silly, generic looking water slide. Sad.
